Kendale Lakes Lanai Sunrooms & Patios has been building sunroom additions, screen rooms, and patio enclosures for Kendale Lakes homeowners since 2019 - we know this neighborhood, its homes, and exactly what Miami-Dade County requires.

Kendale Lakes homes from the 1970s and 1980s were built without the extra living space many families now need. A sunroom addition adds usable square footage that connects to your home, handles the heat with the right glass and cooling, and meets Miami-Dade's building code from the start.
Living near the Everglades means insects are a genuine year-round problem in Kendale Lakes. A professionally installed screen room lets you sit outside after sunset without the mosquitoes, and it keeps debris out of your pool area when afternoon storms roll through.
The flat, low-lying land throughout Kendale Lakes means patios collect standing water after summer storms. Enclosing your patio raises it out of the weather, protects outdoor furniture, and gives your family a comfortable place to be even during the wet season.
Kendale Lakes averages temperatures in the 90s from May through October. A four-season sunroom with impact glass and central air conditioning gives you a room you can actually use at midday in August, not just on cooler days.
Many Kendale Lakes homes have existing concrete patio slabs that sit underused because of the heat and insects. Converting that slab into a sunroom is one of the most cost-effective ways to gain protected living space without a full addition.
The ranch-style homes throughout Kendale Lakes vary in how they sit on their lots, which means a custom design often fits better than a standard kit. We design each sunroom around your existing roofline, drainage, and how you want to use the space.
Most homes in Kendale Lakes were built between the 1970s and 1990s using concrete block and stucco construction, which is standard for Miami-Dade but requires specific knowledge when you are tying a new structure into an existing wall. The flat terrain and proximity to the Everglades mean drainage has to be designed into the slab from the start, not figured out after the fact. A contractor who has not worked in this part of the county will underestimate both of those factors.
Miami-Dade County has some of the strictest building codes in the country, put in place after Hurricane Andrew reshaped expectations for what South Florida structures need to withstand. Every sunroom we build in Kendale Lakes uses impact-rated glass and framing that meets those standards - not because it is required (though it is), but because it is the only responsible way to build here. Homeowners in this area also deal with year-round heat, daily summer thunderstorms, and the insect pressure that comes with living adjacent to the Everglades, all of which affect how a sunroom should be designed and oriented on a lot.
Our crew works throughout Kendale Lakes regularly, pulling permits through Miami-Dade County's building department and working on the ranch-style concrete block homes that make up the majority of the community's housing stock. We know which lots in this area sit low and need extra attention during slab work, and we know the inspection sequence that Miami-Dade requires so there are no delays waiting for approvals.
Kendale Lakes runs roughly from SW 88th Street on the north to SW 8th Street (Tamiami Trail) along the south, and from the Palmetto Expressway west to the edge of the Everglades. We work across all of it - from the streets near Kendale Lakes Park in the heart of the neighborhood to the homes that back right up to the Everglades on the western edge. Residents on those western streets deal with a level of humidity and insect pressure that the rest of the county rarely sees, which changes what makes sense for screen mesh and frame materials.
We also serve homeowners in neighboring Kendall and Tamiami, so if you are near the boundary of any of those communities, give us a call - we are familiar with the homes and conditions on all sides of the area.
Contact us by phone or through our online form. We reply within one business day and will ask a few basic questions about your lot, your existing structure, and what you are hoping to build so we can prepare for the on-site visit.
We come to your home in Kendale Lakes, look at the existing slab or patio, assess drainage and tie-in points, and review what the county will require for permits. You receive a written estimate before we ask you to commit to anything.
We handle all permit paperwork with Miami-Dade County and give you a realistic build timeline once the permit is approved. You do not need to be home for permit-related appointments - we coordinate directly with the building department.
Our crew completes the build and walks through the finished room with you before we close out the permit. Final inspection by the county confirms your new sunroom is fully code-compliant and ready to use.
We serve Kendale Lakes and surrounding Miami-Dade communities. No pressure, no obligation - just a straight answer about what your project will take.
(786) 905-1570Kendale Lakes is a census-designated place in southwestern Miami-Dade County with a population of around 56,000 residents. The community was developed primarily between the late 1960s and the early 1990s, which means most of its housing stock consists of single-story ranch and split-level homes built with concrete block and stucco construction. The neighborhood is almost entirely residential, with modest lot sizes, fenced backyards, and a high share of long-term owner-occupied homes. Many families here have lived in the same house for decades, which means the homes are at the age where major systems are ready for updates. For more information about the community, see the Kendale Lakes Wikipedia article.
Kendale Lakes sits at the western edge of Miami-Dade's developed area, with Everglades National Park beginning just past the westernmost neighborhood streets. Tamiami Trail (SW 8th Street) runs along the southern boundary and connects Kendale Lakes to the rest of Miami. Kendale Lakes Park is the central community gathering spot. The proximity to the Everglades gives the area a distinctive character compared to neighborhoods closer to the coast - the humidity is more intense, insects are a bigger factor, and the flat, low-lying land means drainage is a genuine concern after every heavy storm. Nearby communities include Tamiami to the north and Kendall to the east, both of which we also serve.
