TOS Thousand Oaks Sunrooms serves Ventura homeowners with all season rooms, sunroom additions, and patio enclosures. We work in Ventura's older neighborhoods and newer hillside areas, pull permits through the City of Ventura Building and Safety Division, and build for the city's coastal climate - salt air, clay soils, and all.
Ventura's mild climate means an all season room gets used every month of the year - not just in summer. Our all season room service is designed for Ventura's older home stock, with proper insulation, coastal-grade glazing, and framing that connects properly to craftsman and Spanish Revival structures without compromising the original building.
Many Ventura homes built in the mid-20th century were designed for the climate of the time - single-pane windows and minimal insulation were standard. Adding a properly insulated sunroom to one of these older homes brings in the natural light and warmth that drew people to coastal California in the first place, without the energy waste of a room that is not built for the conditions.
Ventura's rainy season runs from November through March, and the marine layer keeps summer mornings cool and damp. A glass patio enclosure takes the outdoor space that Ventura homeowners love and makes it usable when the weather does not cooperate - which, in a coastal city, happens more often than the tourist brochures suggest.
Ventura homeowners in the Ondulando hillside area and the Foothill neighborhoods above the city often have larger lots and homes with more room to add a proper sunroom. A fully insulated four-season room on a hillside property captures the Pacific views that make these neighborhoods desirable, and the insulation detail handles both the cool winter rain and the dry summer heat that the marine layer does not fully moderate on the inland side.
The Pierpont Beach neighborhood and other coastal streets near Ventura Harbor have smaller homes on tight lots, many originally built as beach cottages. These properties often have modest covered patios that have never been enclosed. Converting that covered patio into a weathertight enclosed room adds livable square footage without requiring the space or budget of a full ground-up addition.
Ventura's warm evenings and walkable neighborhoods make outdoor living appealing most of the year. A screen room keeps the ocean breeze moving through the space while blocking insects and wind-driven debris - a practical fit for a city where people actually use their backyards most nights of the week.
Ventura is a coastal city where a large share of the housing stock was built before 1980, and that shapes almost every sunroom project we handle here. Older craftsman bungalows in Midtown, Spanish Colonial Revival homes near downtown Main Street, and beach cottages in Pierpont all have structural quirks that a contractor needs to understand before touching them. The roof framing, wall connections, and foundation depths in these older homes were not built with future additions in mind. Getting a sunroom to attach properly - and look like it belongs - requires more thought than on a newer tract home built to standard dimensions.
The clay soils across much of Ventura expand when saturated by winter rain and contract during the long dry summer. That seasonal movement is the main reason concrete slabs crack and shift in this area, and any sunroom foundation that does not account for it will develop problems within a few years. Coastal proximity compounds the issue - salt air degrades standard framing hardware and window seals faster than in inland cities, which means material specifications matter more here. The city also has an active rental market and a high-value housing stock: at around $700,000 in median home value, a well-built sunroom is a genuine investment in a meaningful asset. The Thomas Fire of 2017 reminded many Ventura homeowners that fire-resistant details are also worth considering for any new structure - particularly in the hillside neighborhoods above the city.
Our crew works throughout Ventura regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. We pull permits through the City of Ventura Building and Safety Division for every project in the city. Ventura is incorporated and handles its own plan review independently from Ventura County - contractors who normally work in county territory or in smaller cities can get caught off guard by the difference. We are familiar with what the city's reviewers look for and how to keep a project moving through the approval phase.
We have worked on homes throughout Ventura's neighborhoods - from the craftsman bungalows on the streets near downtown and the San Buenaventura Mission to the older ranch homes in Midtown, the beach cottages in Pierpont near the harbor, and the larger homes up in Ondulando. The Ventura Pier area, the Harbor Village, and the 101 corridor through the city are all familiar to our team. Ventura's older homes require more attention at the connection points between old construction and new, and we have built that experience working across the city's varied housing stock.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Oxnard, which borders Ventura to the west along the coast and shares many of the same housing-stock and soil challenges. Further inland, we serve Santa Paula, a city about 14 miles east of Ventura along the 126 with its own distinct building conditions and permit process.
Call or submit your details online and we will respond within one business day. Let us know the address, the approximate size of the space, and whether there is an existing slab or cover already in place - that information helps us plan the site visit.
We visit the property to assess the slab condition, the existing structure, and any site-specific factors - including coastal exposure rating for homes near the water. For older Ventura homes, we check the roof and wall framing at the connection points before estimating, because unexpected structural conditions affect both the design and the cost.
Once you approve the plans and sign the contract, we submit to the City of Ventura Building and Safety Division and handle the plan review process. We keep you updated on where the permit stands and flag any review comments as soon as they come in so there are no delays from missed communication.
On-site work typically runs two to four weeks for a standard all season room or patio enclosure. We schedule the city's final inspection and complete any required corrections before closing out the job. You receive a copy of the signed inspection record - important documentation if you sell the home later.
We work throughout Ventura - from Midtown bungalows to Ondulando hillside homes. No commitment required to get a written quote.
(805) 906-7459Ventura - officially the City of San Buenaventura - sits directly on the Pacific coast in Ventura County, with a population of roughly 110,000 and a downtown that dates back to the founding of the Mission San Buenaventura in 1782 - one of the most recognized landmarks in the city. The historic downtown on Main Street, the Ventura Harbor to the south, and the wide beaches along the coast are all central to how people here experience the city. Ventura Harbor is the primary departure point for trips to Channel Islands National Park, which sits just a few miles offshore. The city's neighborhoods range from the compact craftsman bungalows of Midtown to the beach cottages in Pierpont near the water to the larger homes on sloped lots in the Ondulando and Foothill areas above the city. To the west, the coastal city of Oxnard shares the same coastal strip.
Ventura's housing stock leans old - a large share of the city's homes were built before 1980, and many of the bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes near downtown are 70 to 100 years old. These homes have real character, and they also have real age-related considerations: older roofing, minimal wall insulation, and foundations that have lived through decades of clay soil movement. Roughly half of the city's housing is owner-occupied, with median home values well above the national average - which means homeowners here are protecting a meaningful asset when they invest in an addition. The city's economy draws on tourism, the harbor, Ventura College, and proximity to the broader Ventura County job market. Further east along the 126, the agricultural city of Santa Paula is another community we serve regularly.
