Your patio can be so much more. A properly built enclosure blocks bugs, keeps the rain out, and meets Miami-Dade's hurricane standards - so you get a space you actually use.
Patio enclosures in Kendale Lakes transform existing outdoor slabs into protected living space by adding aluminum framing, screen or glass panels, and a properly tied-in roof, and most projects run three to seven days of construction once Miami-Dade County permits are in hand. The result is an enclosed area that keeps mosquitoes out, sheds rain, and in the case of glass or insulated-panel options, stays comfortable during South Florida summers.
If your current patio is basically unusable from May through October - too hot, too buggy, too wet - an enclosure changes that completely. Many Kendale Lakes homeowners use their enclosed patios as year-round dining rooms, play areas for kids, or relaxed seating spaces for evenings. For homeowners who want glass walls and climate control but are starting from scratch with a room addition rather than enclosing an existing slab, our custom sunrooms page covers that option in full detail.
Every enclosure we build in Kendale Lakes is permitted through Miami-Dade County and built to the county's wind-resistance standards. We handle the permit application and all inspections. If you are ready to get a price on your space, call us or submit an estimate request - we typically respond within one business day.
If your outdoor space sits unused for most of the year because Kendale Lakes summers are genuinely brutal outside, that is the clearest sign an enclosure would change how you live in your home. A properly enclosed patio with shade, fans, or even a small AC unit gives you back months of usable space.
South Florida's bug pressure is intense near the canal systems and retention ponds common throughout Kendale Lakes. If you cannot sit outside after sunset without getting bitten, a screen enclosure solves that problem completely and permanently. It is one of the most common reasons homeowners in this area make the call.
If you have an older aluminum awning or a basic screen room that is starting to rust, sag, or show gaps where the frame meets the exterior wall, the structure has likely reached the end of its useful life. Miami-Dade's climate accelerates aluminum oxidation and fastener corrosion faster than in drier parts of the country, and older enclosures often need full replacement rather than another round of repairs.
If you are planning or recently completed a pool or outdoor cooking area, enclosing the adjacent patio protects both the equipment and the people using it from afternoon storms. It also keeps leaves and debris out of the pool, reducing maintenance time and chemical costs throughout the year.
We work with existing concrete slabs in most cases - the most cost-effective path - and pour new slabs when the project calls for it. Frames are aluminum throughout, which holds up in South Florida's humidity far better than wood. Wall options range from screen mesh for pure airflow to insulated glass panels for homeowners who want year-round comfort. Roof panels can be screen, polycarbonate, or solid insulated depending on how much heat and light control you want. Every build includes electrical rough-in for lighting and ceiling fans as standard. If the existing slab has low spots or cracks that could cause water pooling after a storm, we address that before framing begins.
For homeowners interested in a fully enclosed, climate-controlled room with more interior finishing, our enclosed patio rooms service covers a higher-finish option. And if the project involves converting an existing patio slab into a proper conditioned room addition from the ground up, our custom sunrooms team handles that work too.

Suits homeowners who want weather protection year-round, with the option to add a mini-split AC unit for summer comfort.
Ideal for homeowners who want a covered space that stays noticeably cooler than an open patio without running air conditioning constantly.
Kendale Lakes averages over 250 sunny days a year with summer heat indexes regularly exceeding 100 degrees and humidity that makes an open patio uncomfortable for months on end. The flat terrain and slow-draining soil mean that after a heavy rain - which happens almost daily from June through September - water pools in yards and on slabs, making an uncovered outdoor space even less usable. Mosquito pressure is elevated throughout the year because of the canal systems and retention ponds that run through this part of Miami-Dade. A properly enclosed patio solves all three of those problems: it shades and protects the space from rain, it keeps insects out, and it gives you somewhere to go when the weather turns.
Miami-Dade's hurricane requirements also mean that the enclosure you get here is built to a higher standard than what you would see in most other markets. The county's product control approval process exists because of what happened when Hurricane Andrew came through in 1992, and the result is that every permitted enclosure built in this county uses heavier framing and stronger fasteners than code requires in other parts of Florida. Homeowners in Westchester and throughout Tamiami have been through enough storm seasons to appreciate the difference. That durability is not an add-on - it is built into every enclosure we construct.
We respond within one business day - usually faster. The first call takes about 10-15 minutes and covers your patio size, how you want to use the space, and a rough budget range. We also ask about your HOA situation upfront so nothing catches us off guard later.
We come to your home to measure the space, walk the slab, and confirm the existing foundation is solid. You receive a written estimate within a few days that breaks down exactly what is included - no vague ballpark numbers that balloon after you sign.
We submit the permit application to Miami-Dade County on your behalf and provide the drawings your HOA needs for their review if applicable. County approval typically takes three to six weeks. You do not need to do anything during this period except prepare the work area.
Most enclosures take three to seven business days to build. The county inspector visits after construction to verify the work meets local standards. We walk you through the finished enclosure before we leave and give you a copy of the passed inspection for your home records.
Free written estimate, no obligation. We respond within one business day.
(786) 905-1570We submit the permit application, coordinate all county inspections, and hand you the passed inspection document when construction is complete. Your enclosure will be on record with Miami-Dade County, which protects you at resale and in any insurance claim.
Miami-Dade has some of the toughest wind-resistance standards in the country, and we build to them on every project. That means heavier aluminum framing, stronger fasteners, and materials that have passed county product control review - the same process that protects homes through hurricane season.
A large portion of Kendale Lakes is governed by homeowners associations with their own design rules. We know what local associations typically require and can provide the drawings your HOA needs for review - before a single post goes in the ground, not after a violation notice arrives.
Kendale Lakes's flat terrain and slow drainage mean older slabs sometimes have low spots that cause water pooling inside an enclosure after rain. We walk every slab before finalizing your quote and flag any prep work needed upfront, so there are no surprise charges mid-project.
The National Sunroom Association and the Florida Building Commission both set standards that govern how enclosures are built and inspected in this state. We stay current with those requirements so your project is done right the first time and passes inspection without a callback.
