Stop watching your patio sit empty every summer. We convert existing patios into permitted, air-conditioned sunrooms with impact glass built to Miami-Dade standards.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion in Kendall means enclosing an existing outdoor patio slab with structural walls, hurricane-rated glass, and a roof tied into your home - most projects take four to twelve weeks of construction once Miami-Dade County permits are approved, and the finished room can be used comfortably year-round.
Many Kendall homes already have a screened patio or Florida room from when the neighborhood was built in the 1970s through 1990s. That existing slab is a real head start - it means less ground-up work and often a faster project timeline. The conversion adds the walls, roof, and glass that turn an outdoor space into a true interior room you can cool, furnish, and live in every day of the year.
If your project involves a deck rather than a patio slab, our deck-to-sunroom conversion service covers that process specifically - including the structural assessment that flat Kendall lots often require before enclosing a raised deck frame.
If you walk past your back patio most summer days without stepping onto it, the space is not working for you. In Kendall, the combination of intense heat, humidity, and afternoon downpours makes a screened enclosure genuinely uncomfortable for five or six months of the year. A converted sunroom with proper cooling changes that completely.
If your patio furniture gets drenched every time it rains - which in Kendall happens nearly every afternoon in summer - you are maintaining a room you cannot rely on. A sunroom conversion adds a roof and walls that keep the weather out, so the space becomes a real part of your home rather than something you manage around the weather.
If you find yourself wishing for a dedicated playroom, home office, or quiet reading room but your interior rooms are already spoken for, your patio may be the most practical solution. Converting it into a sunroom adds genuine square footage without the cost and disruption of building a full addition from scratch.
Screened enclosures in South Florida take a beating from UV exposure, salt air, and storm debris - most need significant repairs or replacement after 15 to 20 years. If your screen panels are torn, the frame is corroding, or the structure wobbles, you are already facing a repair bill. That is a natural moment to consider whether a full conversion makes more sense than patching what you have.
We handle every step of a conversion project - slab assessment, structural framing, impact-rated glass installation, roofing, cooling, and all Miami-Dade County permitting. Each project starts with a thorough look at your existing slab because older Kendall patios sometimes need reinforcement before walls can go up. If the slab is in good shape, we move directly into design and permit submission. For homeowners who want to explore a fully enclosed room without committing to glass walls, we can also walk you through our enclosed patio rooms options, which cover a range of enclosure types at different price points.
Cooling is always part of the conversation from the first estimate. In Kendall's climate, a sunroom without proper air conditioning is unusable for most of the year, so we plan the cooling solution - whether a mini-split or an extension of your home's existing system - before a single permit is filed. We also assist with HOA architectural review submissions for homeowners in communities like The Hammocks, where exterior additions require approval before construction begins.
Best for homeowners who want a true four-season room - we enclose the existing slab with structural framing, hurricane-rated glass panels, and a roof system that ties into your home.
Suits homeowners who want solid walls and a weatherproof roof without full HVAC integration - still a major upgrade from a screened enclosure and suitable for most of the year in Kendall.
For existing screen enclosures that need to become fully enclosed rooms - we replace screen panels with glass, reinforce the frame, and add cooling for year-round comfort.
Older Kendall slabs sometimes need reinforcement before a sunroom can be built on them - we assess early so there are no surprises once construction begins.
Kendall sits in Miami-Dade County, which enforces some of the toughest building standards in the country for windows and glass - standards that were put in place after Hurricane Andrew devastated the area in 1992. Every glass panel in a new sunroom must be hurricane-rated, which means the material costs more than what national pricing guides show. But it also means your new room comes with real storm protection built in, not bolted on as an afterthought. The intense South Florida sun is another factor: good contractors here specify glass with high solar heat rejection ratings so the room stays comfortable from June through September rather than becoming a greenhouse.
Many neighborhoods in Kendall were developed between the 1970s and the early 1990s, and a large share of those homes already have screened-in patios or Florida rooms - giving homeowners in areas like Kendale Lakes and Westchester a practical head start on this project. The existing slab can often be used as-is, which reduces cost and construction time. That said, Miami-Dade County's permit review process adds several weeks to the overall timeline, and HOA review in planned communities adds more - so starting early is the most important piece of advice we can give.
We ask a few basic questions about the size of your patio, whether it is screened or open, and what you want to use the room for. Expect a reply within one business day - this conversation helps us know whether a site visit makes sense.
We visit your home to check the slab, the roofline, and how the new room will connect to your house. You receive a written estimate broken down by category - not a single number - so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
We submit the permit application to Miami-Dade County on your behalf. If your neighborhood has an HOA with architectural review requirements - common in communities like The Hammocks - we help prepare that submission too. Plan for four to eight weeks for county review.
Once permits are in hand, framing begins. Impact-rated glass, interior finishes, and the cooling system follow. A Miami-Dade County inspector signs off on the completed work, and we walk you through everything before we leave.
Free estimate. No obligation. We come to you.
(786) 840-4946Every window and glass panel we install meets Miami-Dade County's hurricane impact requirements - the same standards that apply to the rest of your home. This is not an optional upgrade here; it is a firm requirement, and we do not cut corners on it.
Many Kendall communities, including The Hammocks - one of the largest HOA communities in Florida - require architectural review before any exterior addition begins. We know what local HOA boards look for and prepare the submission so your project is not delayed by a preventable back-and-forth.
An unpermitted sunroom in Kendall can block a home sale and void your insurance. Every project we build goes through the full Miami-Dade County permit and inspection process. The paperwork is yours to keep, and it protects your home's value at resale.
Miami-Dade County Building DepartmentIn this climate, a glass-enclosed room without air conditioning is unusable from May through October. We discuss the cooling setup - whether extending your existing system or adding a mini-split - at the estimate stage, not as an afterthought after you have already signed.
Every one of these details - the glass standard, the HOA submission, the permit record - protects you long after construction is finished. A sunroom built the right way adds to your home's value; one built the wrong way creates liabilities you might not discover until you try to sell.
