Kendale Lakes Lanai Sunrooms & Patios is a sunroom contractor serving South Miami, FL with enclosed patio rooms, patio enclosures, and screen room installations. We have worked on South Miami homes since 2019 and respond to every new inquiry within one business day.

South Miami homeowners use their rear patios year-round, but mosquitoes, afternoon storms, and intense sun make unenclosed spaces uncomfortable for months at a time. Our enclosed patio rooms convert your existing concrete slab into a protected, comfortable space without a full addition footprint.
Many South Miami homes were built with a covered rear patio as part of the original CBS construction, and those structures are often ideal candidates for enclosure. We build patio enclosures that meet Miami-Dade HVHZ wind-load requirements so your investment holds up through hurricane season.
Screen rooms are a practical starting point for South Miami homeowners who want insect protection and airflow without committing to a fully enclosed structure. The city's mature tree canopy is beautiful, but it also brings mosquitoes and debris that a screen room filters out effectively.
Adding conditioned square footage to a South Miami ranch home is one of the most effective ways to improve livability without a full room addition. South Miami's high owner-occupancy rate means homeowners invest long-term, and a sunroom addition adds permanent value to well-maintained properties.
South Miami's afternoon rainstorms from May through October make an uncovered patio almost unusable during the wet season. A properly anchored patio cover rated to local wind codes keeps your outdoor space functional and protects the underlying concrete slab from accelerated weathering.
South Florida does not have traditional seasons, but it does have a wet season and a dry season - and South Miami homeowners want to use their outdoor spaces in both. An all season room with insulated panels and proper ventilation handles the heat and humidity without turning into a greenhouse.
South Miami is a small incorporated city with its own building department, which means permits for patio enclosures and sunroom additions go through the City of South Miami rather than unincorporated Miami-Dade County. At the same time, all structures must also comply with Miami-Dade County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) product approval requirements. A contractor who has not pulled city permits here before may not know that both reviews apply. The bulk of South Miami's housing stock was built between the 1940s and 1970s - single-story concrete block ranch homes on modest lots with rear patios or screened porches that are often overdue for an upgrade.
South Florida's climate does not let up. The wet season runs from May through October with daily afternoon thunderstorms, and hurricane season overlaps almost entirely with that window. South Miami homes that survived Andrew in 1992 and Irma in 2017 still carry weather-related wear on their patio slabs, roof edges, and exterior walls. The city's dense tree canopy - one of the best things about living here - also means root damage to concrete slabs is common, and any enclosure attachment needs to account for slab movement when roots have been at work for decades.
Our crew works throughout South Miami regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and enclosure work here. The city covers only about 2.5 square miles, so we know virtually every pocket of it - the streets north of Sunset Drive near US-1, the quieter residential blocks closer to the Pinecrest border, and the neighborhoods around Dante Fascell Park where many of the original postwar ranch homes still stand on their original slabs.
South Miami's homes are mostly single-story CBS construction, and many have the same configuration: a concrete block main house with an original rear covered patio that was either open or lightly screened from the day it was built. These patios are ideal candidates for a full enclosure or a screen room upgrade. The South Miami Metrorail station on Sunset Drive makes the city well-connected, and residents tend to stay long-term - which means they invest in their homes rather than just holding them.
We also serve homeowners in neighboring Pinecrest, where properties are larger and the work often involves wider patio slabs and pool decks. If your address puts you closer to the Coral Gables border, see our Coral Gables page for information on that city's architectural review process.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We respond to every South Miami inquiry within one business day and schedule a visit at a time that works for you.
We visit your South Miami home, measure the existing patio or outdoor space, and check the slab condition - especially important on homes from the 1950s through 1970s where root damage or settling may affect how we anchor the structure. The estimate is written, itemized, and free.
We submit to both the City of South Miami Building Department and prepare HVHZ product approval documentation for Miami-Dade. Once permits are approved, our crew handles all installation - you do not need to be present every day, but we keep you updated throughout.
We schedule the city inspection and walk through the finished space with you before we close out the permit. If anything needs adjustment, we handle it before we leave.
We work throughout South Miami - from the streets near Sunset Drive to the neighborhoods closer to Pinecrest. Call today or fill out the form for a free, no-pressure estimate.
(786) 905-1570South Miami is a small incorporated city of about 12,000 residents tucked between Coral Gables to the north, Pinecrest to the south, and unincorporated Miami-Dade County to the west. It covers roughly 2.5 square miles, which gives it a tight, neighborhood feel that is rare in Miami-Dade. Sunset Drive, the city's main commercial street, runs near US-1 and connects residents to the South Miami Metrorail station, making the city one of the more transit-connected spots in South Miami-Dade. Dante Fascell Park is a gathering point for local families, and the University of Miami's main campus sits directly on the northern border in Coral Gables.
Most homes in South Miami were built between the 1940s and 1970s as the city grew during South Florida's postwar boom. Single-story concrete block ranch homes on modest lots are the dominant housing type, though newer two-story infill construction has appeared on some blocks over the past two decades. Homeowners here tend to stay for years - the combination of walkability, transit access, and proximity to the University of Miami creates a stable, owner-occupied community. Nearby Coral Gables to the north has its own architectural review process, while Pinecrest to the south is known for its larger lots and higher home values. South Miami sits comfortably between the two - a real city with its own permit office and a housing stock that rewards investment.
