Serving Kendall, FL and surrounding areas. (786) 840-4946
BlueStreet Kendall Sunrooms & Patios serves Kendale Lakes, FL with patio enclosures, screen rooms, and sunroom additions - handling patio-to-sunroom conversions, custom builds, and four-season rooms for this neighborhood's concrete block homes. Every project is permitted through Miami-Dade County and engineered for South Florida hurricane conditions.
Kendale Lakes homes from the 1970s and 1980s often have concrete block patios adjacent to pools that sit exposed to months of afternoon thunderstorms. Enclosing that space with walls and a roof creates a protected room that your family can actually use during South Florida's long rainy season - and the existing concrete often provides a ready-made slab for the new enclosure. See our patio enclosures service for what the process involves.
Kendale Lakes sits close to the Everglades, and the combination of standing water after rain and year-round warm temperatures makes insect pressure here higher than in many other parts of Miami-Dade. A properly sealed screen enclosure around your pool or back patio is the most reliable long-term solution - and it starts with the same structural frame as a full patio enclosure.
Many Kendale Lakes homeowners have been in the same house since the 1980s and are now looking to add a room they can actually use daily - a reading space, a home office, or a breakfast room that brings in natural light without the summer heat. A fully climate-controlled sunroom addition solves all of that while adding permitted square footage to the home's footprint.
Lot shapes and home orientations vary across Kendale Lakes, and a custom design accounts for how your yard drains, where your pool sits, and how much sun your back wall receives in the afternoon - all of which affect how the room is designed and how comfortable it will be year-round.
Kendale Lakes averages more than 250 sunny days per year, with summer temperatures that routinely exceed 90 degrees. A four-season room built with heat-blocking glass and connected to your home's air conditioning stays comfortable every month of the year - unlike a three-season room that becomes unusable from May through October.
For homeowners who want overhead rain protection without full enclosure, a hurricane-rated aluminum or insulated panel cover is a practical starting point. Kendale Lakes' flat terrain means every cover we install includes drainage routing designed to direct roof runoff away from the home's foundation - not toward it.
Most homes in Kendale Lakes were built in the 1970s and 1980s using concrete block and stucco - the construction method standard throughout South Florida at the time. Those homes are now 35 to 55 years old, and the original screened enclosures, Florida rooms, and pool cages built alongside them were not engineered to anything close to Miami-Dade County's current wind-resistance requirements. When homeowners replace or upgrade those structures today, the new work must meet significantly more demanding codes than the original - which means proper structural anchoring, hurricane-rated materials, and documented inspections at every stage of construction.
Kendale Lakes' location at the western edge of Miami-Dade's developed area, right up against the Everglades, creates two specific challenges that differ from other parts of the county. First, the moisture and humidity levels here are among the highest in the metro area - mold and moisture intrusion develop faster in this environment than they would on a drier lot further east. Second, the flat terrain and slow-draining soil mean standing water after rain is not an occasional event but a regular one throughout the long summer wet season. Any sunroom or enclosure built here needs to be designed with both factors in mind, not just addressed as an afterthought.
Our crew works throughout Kendale Lakes regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and enclosure work here. We pull permits through the Miami-Dade County Building Department and are familiar with the inspection checkpoints required for this type of construction under the county's current code. Kendale Lakes sits in one of the more densely established residential areas of western Miami-Dade, where most properties are CBS homes on modest lots with pools and screened back areas that have been in place for decades - often without being updated or re-engineered to modern standards.
The neighborhood runs west from the Kendall area along the Tamiami Trail corridor, with Kendale Lakes Park serving as a well-known reference point near the center of the community. Most streets here are quiet residential blocks of homes that back up to one another or, in some cases, to the slow-moving water and open land that marks the Everglades boundary. That proximity to the natural area is part of what makes Kendale Lakes distinctive - and what makes proper moisture management in any outdoor enclosure project more important here than in neighborhoods further from the wetland edge.
We also serve homeowners in neighboring Tamiami to the south, where similar conditions and building stock create the same demand for properly built enclosures. Homeowners in Kendall to the east will find similar services and the same approach to Miami-Dade permitting on that area page.
Contact us by phone or the form on our site and we will schedule a visit to your Kendale Lakes home. We respond within one business day - we do not give firm prices over the phone because the condition of your existing slab, your lot's drainage, and your HOA's requirements all affect the project.
We come to your home, measure the space, look at how your lot drains, and ask how you plan to use the room. You get a written estimate covering materials, labor, permit fees, and a realistic schedule - including the permit wait, not just the construction time.
We prepare and submit the Miami-Dade County building permit application and handle any HOA architectural review package in parallel. County permit review typically takes two to four weeks. We keep you updated throughout so you know where the project stands.
Once permits are approved, the crew begins work. Miami-Dade County inspectors check the project at required checkpoints during construction - we are present for every one. After the county's final sign-off, we walk you through the finished room and hand over all permit documentation.
We work throughout Kendale Lakes and handle permits, HOA submissions, and construction from start to finish. Tell us about your project and we will get back to you within one business day.
(786) 840-4946Kendale Lakes is a census-designated community in western Miami-Dade County with a population of approximately 56,000 people. It is one of the most established residential areas in this part of the county - almost entirely single-family homes built in the 1970s and 1980s on concrete block foundations with stucco exteriors. Owner-occupied homes dominate the neighborhood, and many families have lived in the same house for decades. The community is predominantly Spanish-speaking, with strong connections to Cuban and other Latin American cultures throughout the neighborhood. Kendale Lakes Park, a large recreational space near the center of the community, is one of the most recognized gathering spots in the area.
The western edge of Kendale Lakes borders Everglades National Park - residents on those westernmost streets can see the open wetlands from the end of their blocks. The Tamiami Trail (SW 8th Street) runs along the southern edge of the neighborhood and connects Kendale Lakes to the broader Miami metro. That geographic position - deep in the western suburbs, far from the coast but fully exposed to South Florida's summer storm season and year-round humidity - shapes everything about how homes here are maintained and improved. Neighboring Kendall to the east shares much of the same building stock, and the two communities see nearly identical permitting requirements and climate-driven maintenance needs.
