Kendale Lakes Lanai Sunrooms & Patios builds patio enclosures, screen rooms, and sunroom additions for Tamiami homeowners. We have served this community since 2019 and know how Miami-Dade County permits work for every project in this area.

Tamiami's afternoon thunderstorms and year-round insect pressure make open patios difficult to use for much of the year. Our patio enclosures are built to Miami-Dade's wind-load codes and give you a protected outdoor space that holds up through hurricane season.
Living close to the Everglades means mosquitoes and no-see-ums are a real problem, especially in summer. A properly installed screen enclosure lets you enjoy the yard and pool area without the insect pressure that makes an open patio nearly unusable from dusk through dawn.
Tamiami's high humidity and summer heat mean any enclosed room here needs impact glass with solar-heat coatings and a direct connection to your central air conditioning. Without those features, a glass room in this neighborhood will be uninhabitable from May through October.
Tamiami's proximity to wetlands creates higher-than-average humidity and salt-laden air that accelerates corrosion on aluminum framing. Vinyl framing resists that moisture without painting or re-coating, making it a low-maintenance choice for homes in this part of Miami-Dade.
Many Tamiami homes from the 1970s and 1980s have existing concrete slab patios that sit unused because the heat and bugs make them miserable. Converting that slab into a screened or enclosed sunroom is often the fastest path to usable outdoor living space because the foundation work is already done.
Tamiami's concrete block homes are well-suited for additions because the existing structure is solid and weather-resistant. Adding a sunroom increases your usable square footage and, when permitted correctly through Miami-Dade County, adds to your appraised home value.
Tamiami is an unincorporated community in Miami-Dade County, which means all building permits run through the county rather than a city hall. Miami-Dade's building code is among the most demanding in the country for wind resistance and impact ratings - a direct result of the county's hurricane history. Any contractor who does not routinely pull permits in Miami-Dade will face delays during plan review and inspections that add weeks or months to your project. Beyond the permitting process, the community sits at the western edge of Miami-Dade, right where the developed suburbs give way to Everglades National Park. That means elevated humidity, standing water after heavy rain, and insect pressure that affects material selection for every project here.
The housing stock in Tamiami is predominantly concrete block construction - CBS homes built between the 1960s and 1990s on flat lots with small to medium yards. These homes often have existing slab patios that are candidates for enclosure, and the flat terrain means water management around any new structure has to be planned carefully. The area's high water table and limited drainage capacity can cause standing water to sit against foundations for hours after heavy rain, which is why we factor drainage into every project layout rather than treating it as an afterthought. A contractor experienced with these conditions will save you from problems that show up months after the work is complete.
Our crew works throughout Tamiami regularly, pulling permits from Miami-Dade County's building department for enclosures and additions on the CBS block homes that make up most of this neighborhood. We know the plan review process the county follows and how to submit drawings that clear review without multiple revision cycles, which keeps your project moving on schedule.
Tamiami runs along US-41 - the Tamiami Trail - which gives the community its name and serves as the main road through the neighborhood. Most of the residential streets branch off both sides of that corridor, ranging from quiet blocks closer to the city boundary to homes that back up nearly to the Everglades National Park boundary to the west. We have worked on homes throughout all of that range and understand how proximity to the wetlands affects material choices and maintenance expectations.
Tamiami borders Westchester to the northeast and connects to Kendall to the east. We serve all of those areas and handle projects on both sides of any community boundary without any difference in service or scheduling.
Call or submit an online request and we respond within one business day. We ask a few questions about your property and what you are looking to build so we can prepare for the site visit and not waste your time with a generic walk-through.
We visit your Tamiami home, measure the space, check the existing structure, and identify any drainage or HOA considerations before writing a detailed written estimate. You will know the full cost before we start - no hidden charges after work begins.
Once you approve the estimate, we submit the permit application to Miami-Dade County and schedule construction to begin as soon as approval comes through. You do not need to be present during most of the work, though we keep you updated at each phase.
We schedule and attend the county's final inspection and walk through the completed project with you before considering the job done. Your permit is closed correctly and the work is on county record as a code-compliant addition.
We serve all of Tamiami and the surrounding areas. No obligation - just a free on-site estimate with a written quote.
(786) 905-1570Tamiami is a census-designated place in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, located along US-41 in the western part of the county. The community takes its name from the Tamiami Trail, the historic highway built in the 1920s to connect Tampa to Miami across the Everglades. With a population of roughly 55,000, Tamiami is a sizable residential neighborhood dominated by single-family concrete block homes built between the 1960s and 1990s. Most residents are long-term homeowners of Cuban and Latin American descent, and the neighborhood has a stable, settled character with deep community roots. The Tamiami Trail corridor is lined with small businesses, restaurants, and services, while the residential streets behind it are quiet and tree-lined.
The western edge of Tamiami borders Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve - a proximity that shapes daily life here in practical ways. Humidity levels are consistently higher than in neighborhoods further east, standing water after heavy rain is common on flat terrain above a shallow water table, and insects are a year-round presence rather than a seasonal nuisance. Tamiami Executive Airport (TMB) is a well-known local landmark used by small planes and flight training schools. Neighboring communities include Kendale Lakes to the east and the communities of Kendall further south - all of which we serve as part of our regular service territory.
