We handle the full build - foundation, framing, hurricane-rated windows, roofing, and the county inspection - so you get a finished room, not a project that stalls halfway through.

Sunroom construction in The Hammocks, FL covers the full sequence from site preparation and slab work through framing, impact-rated glazing, roofing, and the final Miami-Dade County building inspection - most construction phases wrap up in three to six weeks once the permit is in hand, though the permit review itself typically adds two to six weeks to the front end of the project.
In a place like The Hammocks, sunroom construction is meaningfully different from building the same room in most other parts of the country. Miami-Dade County requires impact-resistant glass and engineered structural connections on all new additions - not because of bureaucracy, but because of what Hurricane Andrew did to this area in 1992. If you are thinking about what the finished room will look like before you commit to a budget, our sunroom remodeling and sunroom additions pages cover related options worth comparing.
If your patio or outdoor space sits empty for most of the year because it is too hot, too sunny, or too wet to enjoy, sunroom construction is often the answer. In The Hammocks, where summer afternoons bring both blazing heat and sudden downpours, a covered, enclosed space lets you actually use that part of your home instead of avoiding it.
If you have an existing screened enclosure and it is uncomfortable for most of the day, or bugs and moisture are getting through, it may be time to upgrade to a fully enclosed sunroom. Screens do not block heat, UV rays, or the heavy rain that blows sideways during South Florida storms - a sunroom gives you real protection from the elements.
If your family has outgrown your living area and you are looking for a room that could serve as a home office, playroom, or casual dining space, sunroom construction is one of the most cost-effective ways to add square footage. A well-designed sunroom can feel larger than its actual dimensions because of the natural light.
If a past hurricane season left your screened porch or older sunroom with damaged frames, leaking seams, or windows that no longer close properly, a full rebuild is often the smarter investment over patching. Older enclosures in The Hammocks that predate post-1992 building code upgrades may not meet current wind resistance requirements.
We build sunrooms from the ground up - foundation preparation, slab pouring, wall framing, impact-resistant window and door installation, roofing, and all finishing work inside the new room. Every project we take on is permitted through Miami-Dade County and inspected before it is handed over. If you are evaluating whether to build a new room or update an existing one, our sunroom remodeling service covers renovation of existing structures.
For homeowners who already have a patio slab or an existing structure, we assess what can be reused and what needs to be replaced - reducing project cost where the existing work is sound. We also handle sunroom additions that tie into the home's existing footprint, matching rooflines and exterior finishes so the new room looks like it was always part of the house. Every option is priced in a written estimate before any work begins.
Best for homeowners starting from a bare yard or bare slab who want a fully enclosed, properly permitted room built to current Miami-Dade standards.
Suits homeowners who want a room connected to their home's air conditioning and heating so it is usable every day of the year, including South Florida's hottest summer months.
Good fit for homeowners who want protection from rain and insects without the cost of a full HVAC connection - operable glass panels and ventilation handle most of the South Florida year comfortably.
Ideal for homeowners whose current screened porch or older sunroom has reached the end of its life and needs to be brought up to current hurricane-zone building standards.
The Hammocks sits on flat, slab-on-grade terrain just a few miles from the edge of the Everglades. The land is at or near sea level, the water table is shallow, and the rainy season drops roughly 60 inches of rain per year - most of it between June and September. All of this shapes how a sunroom foundation is prepared, how drainage is designed, and what happens if those details are not handled correctly. A contractor who has not built here before will underestimate what the ground conditions require. The National Association of Home Builders notes that South Florida's soil and water table conditions require specific foundation and drainage approaches that differ from most of the country.
Year-round heat and humidity also mean the glass choice matters more here than almost anywhere else. South Florida's UV index regularly hits extreme levels in summer, and a sunroom with standard glass can become uncomfortably hot by mid-morning. We serve homeowners throughout this part of Miami-Dade, from communities near Kendall to neighborhoods near Coral Gables, and we spec our glass for this climate specifically - not for a national average.
We come to your home, take measurements, and talk through design options. We reply to all inquiries within one business day. This visit is free and comes with no obligation - it is simply the only way to give you an accurate number.
We put together a design and written estimate with a detailed cost breakdown. If your neighborhood requires HOA review, we help you prepare the submission package. We recommend getting HOA written approval before signing the construction contract.
Once the contract is signed, we submit the permit application to Miami-Dade County's building department. Review typically takes two to six weeks. We follow up with the county and keep you updated - you do not have to track this yourself.
With the permit in hand, the crew begins - slab, framing, windows, roofing, and finishing typically take three to six weeks. A county inspector verifies the work before the project is complete, and you receive a copy of the final permit at your walkthrough.
No pressure, no obligation - just a clear number and an honest conversation about what is possible on your lot.
(786) 435-0785Every sunroom construction project we take on goes through Miami-Dade County's building department under our license. We prepare the application, coordinate with plan reviewers, and schedule all required inspections. You never have to navigate the county permit process yourself.
Hurricane-resistant glazing is built into every project we price - not an add-on you discover later. Miami-Dade County requires it, and so does basic common sense in a place that has been through major storms. We also specify low-emissivity glass on every build to keep your sunroom from becoming a heat trap in July.
We work on slab-on-grade lots just miles from the Everglades, and we know what happens to poorly graded sites after the summer rains start. Every foundation we pour includes the grading and drainage details needed to move water away from the structure - this is part of the standard scope, not an extra line item.
Before any work begins, you will have a written contract that spells out exactly what is included, what the timeline looks like, and what the total cost will be. One of the most common frustrations homeowners have with contractors is a low estimate that climbs as the project goes on - we avoid that by being specific upfront.
A sunroom construction project in Miami-Dade County involves more steps than the same project elsewhere - permits, HOA approvals, hurricane-grade materials, and drainage planning. We have done this work in this area and know what each step requires. Call us and we will tell you exactly what to expect for your specific home.
