Serving Kendall, FL and surrounding areas. (786) 840-4946
Your backyard is sitting empty most of the year. Sunroom construction turns that unused space into a comfortable, climate-controlled room your family can use every day - built to Miami-Dade County code, fully permitted, and ready for South Florida's weather.
Sunroom construction in Kendall, FL means building a fully enclosed, light-filled room attached to your home using large glass panels, a structural frame, and a watertight roof - most projects take six to ten weeks from contract to completion, including Miami-Dade County permit review and any required HOA approval. A sunroom uses far more glass than a standard room addition, which means the design has to account for South Florida's heat and humidity from the start.
Most Kendall homeowners who reach out to us have already tried living with a screened enclosure or a covered patio and found that it only works for a few months a year. A properly built sunroom gives you an air-conditioned, weatherproof room that connects your indoor living space to your backyard view - without the bugs, the afternoon thunderstorms, or the heat that makes a screen porch unusable by May. If you are interested in a room built specifically to your home's layout and design preferences, see our sunroom additions page for more on how we approach full additions.
The construction process is largely outdoors, which makes disruption to your daily life manageable. Workers need access to the exterior wall where the sunroom attaches and will cut an opening through that wall to connect the two spaces - but most families find the active build phase, which typically runs two to four weeks, straightforward to work around.
If your patio or backyard sits unused most of the year because the mosquitoes are relentless or the afternoon sun makes it unbearable, sunroom construction gives you that outdoor connection without the discomfort. Kendall's warm climate means you could enjoy outdoor living nearly year-round - but only if you have a space that protects you from the elements.
If your existing covered outdoor space takes on water during Kendall's heavy afternoon rains, or if the screens are torn and the space feels exposed, you have outgrown what a basic screened enclosure can offer. A properly built sunroom with sealed windows and a watertight roof gives you a space you can actually use during and after a storm, not one you have to avoid or mop up after.
If your family has grown or you are working from home and need a dedicated space, sunroom construction adds usable square footage without the cost and disruption of moving. In Kendall's housing market, moving to a larger home carries significant transaction costs - a sunroom can give you the extra room you need at a fraction of that expense.
If you bought your home with an existing enclosed porch and are not sure whether it was ever permitted, that uncertainty becomes a real problem when you try to sell or refinance. Miami-Dade County requires that all enclosed additions be permitted and inspected, and unpermitted work can surface during a title search or appraisal. A sunroom contractor can assess whether the existing structure meets current standards or needs to be properly rebuilt.
We handle every phase of sunroom construction in-house - foundation preparation, structural framing, impact-rated glazing, roofing, electrical, and the finishing work that makes the room feel like it has always been part of your home. Every project starts with a site visit to assess your existing patio or ground surface, measure the available space, and discuss how you plan to use the room. From there, we prepare the permit drawings and submit the application to Miami-Dade County Building Department on your behalf - you do not have to navigate that process yourself.
Our work covers both new ground-up builds and projects that start with an existing structure that needs to be rebuilt to current code. If the scope of the project grows to include upgrading or changing an older space, we also do full sunroom remodeling, including re-framing, new glazing, and updated finishes. For homeowners whose project also needs a plan for how the space will look and function before construction starts, we offer a full sunroom design service that feeds directly into the build.

Kendall sits in one of the hottest and most humid metro areas in the continental United States, and it is also inside one of the most hurricane-prone counties in the country. Those two facts shape every decision in sunroom construction here - from the glass type required by county code to the way drainage is designed around a flat, low-lying concrete slab. A sunroom that is not built with heat-blocking glass and proper ventilation will feel like an oven from May through October, making it unusable for most of the year. That is not an exaggeration - it is a basic reality of building in this climate.
We build sunrooms throughout the Kendall area and in nearby communities, including Tamiami and Westchester, where the same Miami-Dade County building standards and permitting requirements apply. Afternoon thunderstorms drop an inch or more of rain in under an hour from May through October - so a sunroom roof that is not properly sloped and sealed at the seam where it meets the house will leak after the first big storm. Ask any contractor you speak with exactly how they handle roof-to-wall flashing and drainage, and make sure the answer is specific.
Miami-Dade County's building standards for hurricane-resistant construction are among the most rigorous in the United States. The Miami-Dade County Building Department and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry both provide resources on what to expect from a licensed contractor working in this market.
We start with a brief conversation about your space, how you plan to use it, and your general budget range. Then we schedule an on-site visit to measure the area and look at the exterior wall where the sunroom will attach. You will receive a detailed written estimate - not just a ballpark number. We respond to all inquiries within 1 business day.
Once you sign a contract, we submit the permit application to Miami-Dade County Building Department and prepare the required drawings. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we handle that submission at the same time. Permit review in Miami-Dade typically takes one to three weeks. We keep you updated - you should not have to chase us for information.
With permits in hand, the crew prepares the ground, pours or levels the slab, and opens the exterior wall to create the connection between the sunroom and your living space. This phase is the noisiest and most disruptive part of the project but typically wraps up within a few days. Clear the area of furniture and stored items before the crew arrives.
With framing and glazing complete, we handle interior finishing - flooring, electrical outlets, lighting, and trim. A county building inspector verifies the work meets all code requirements at each required stage. Once the final inspection passes, we walk you through the finished room, show you how to operate windows and vents, and hand over your permit documentation.
No commitment required. We visit your home, measure the space, and give you a detailed written quote so you can plan with confidence.
(786) 840-4946We handle the permit application from submission through final inspection - you will never be asked to skip permits or pull them yourself. A permitted sunroom is documented as a legal part of your home, which protects your property value and prevents costly complications when you sell or refinance. You can verify our permits directly through the Miami-Dade County Building Department.
Every window, glass panel, and door we install meets Miami-Dade County's hurricane impact requirements, which are stricter than the state standard. This is not an upgrade you pay extra for - it is how we build every sunroom, because it is required by code and because it is what Kendall homeowners need to stay safe and comfortable during storm season.
Kendall's afternoon thunderstorms during the rainy season are intense and frequent. We pay particular attention to how the sunroom roof meets the house wall - the flashing and sealing at that joint is where most leaks originate, and getting it right requires experience with South Florida's rain patterns. We build roofs designed to shed water fast and stay dry at every seam.
Kendall's flat terrain means water does not naturally drain away from your home after heavy rain. When we prepare the foundation for a sunroom, we plan the grade around it carefully so rainwater flows away from the structure. Poor drainage planning is one of the most common causes of moisture problems in South Florida additions, and it is something we address at the very beginning of the project - not after the fact.
Building in Miami-Dade County requires knowing its permit office, its hurricane code, and the specific challenges of constructing on flat, low-lying land - all things that come from working in this county regularly. Every sunroom we construct is fully insured and backed by a written warranty on labor and materials.
