Kendall homes are mostly single-story concrete block construction from the 1970s through the 1990s. Most of them have open patios or aging screen enclosures that no longer hold up against Florida summers. Here is what we build for homeowners in this community.
New sunroom construction in Kendall requires hurricane-rated materials and a slab foundation that accounts for the area's flat terrain and slow-draining soil. We design and build from the ground up, handling every step from HOA coordination to the final Miami-Dade County inspection.
Kendall summers are long and hot, and a sunroom without air conditioning becomes a storage room by June. A four-season room with a mini-split or ducted cooling connection gives you usable space for all twelve months, not just the few comfortable weeks in winter.
Ranch homes in Kendall typically have modest patios that catch the full afternoon sun from the west and flood in the wet season. Enclosing that space with impact-rated glass and a reinforced roof creates a room that is comfortable and protected instead of one that sits empty from May through October.
Many Kendall homes have original screen enclosures from the 1980s or 1990s with corroding aluminum frames and torn mesh. A new screen room built with heavier-gauge framing handles the daily afternoon storms better, keeps insects out more reliably, and does not require constant patching.
Converting an open patio to a full sunroom is one of the most common requests we get in Kendall, where homeowners want weather protection without giving up the outdoor feel. The process involves assessing the existing slab, planning drainage, and selecting glass that meets Miami-Dade's wind requirements.
Kendall neighborhoods vary - some have HOAs with strict exterior rules, others are open subdivisions. A custom sunroom designed around your specific lot, home orientation, and HOA requirements from the start moves through the approval process faster and avoids the back-and-forth of revisions.
Most of Kendall's housing stock was built between the 1970s and the early 1990s - that puts the majority of homes at 30 to 50 years old today. Screen enclosures and patio covers from that era were designed for a different generation of materials and often do not meet current Miami-Dade wind-resistance requirements. Many homeowners across Kendall are at the point where repairing the old enclosure costs nearly as much as building something new that actually meets code. Hurricane Andrew made landfall just south of Kendall in 1992 and reshaped how the entire region thinks about building standards - anything added to a Kendall home today is built to a much higher bar than what stood before that storm.
Kendall also sits on flat, low-lying land close to sea level, just a few miles from Everglades National Park. The combination of daily summer thunderstorms and slow-draining soil means that any outdoor structure needs thoughtful drainage planning from the start. Homes with in-ground pools - which are common throughout Kendall - add another layer of complexity to how water moves around the property. We plan drainage as part of every foundation assessment, not as an afterthought. All permits are filed with the Miami-Dade County Building Department, and we carry the project through every required inspection.
Our crew works throughout Kendall regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and patio enclosure work here. We pull permits from the Miami-Dade County Building Department and are familiar with the review timelines and documentation requirements for addition projects in this part of the county. Kendall's mix of older subdivisions near Dadeland Mall and newer developments further south along the Florida Turnpike means we encounter a wide range of slab conditions, rooflines, and HOA situations on a regular basis.
Kendall Drive (SW 88th Street) runs east-west through the heart of the community and is the road most of our crews travel coming in from The Hammocks. We know the neighborhoods off Miller Drive, Killian Parkway, and the quieter streets near the Hammocks lakes just as well as the busier subdivisions near the Turnpike. Neighboring communities to the west, including Tamiami, see the same soil and drainage conditions we encounter in Kendall, and we serve those homeowners as well. Our base in The Hammocks puts us just minutes from most Kendall job sites.

We assess your existing patio or yard space, check drainage, note any HOA restrictions, and walk through your goals for the room. You get a written, itemized estimate - not a ballpark figure.
We submit the permit application to Miami-Dade County and prepare any HOA documentation you need. Permit review typically runs four to eight weeks. We track the status and keep you updated throughout.
Once permits are approved, most sunroom additions take two to six weeks to complete. We schedule and pass the final county inspection before calling the job done, so your addition is fully on record and insurable.
We serve Kendall and surrounding communities throughout Miami-Dade County. Reach out by phone or form and we will get back to you within one business day with a free, no-pressure estimate.
(786) 435-0785Kendall is an unincorporated community in southwest Miami-Dade County with a population of roughly 75,000 to 80,000 people. It covers a large suburban area made up almost entirely of residential neighborhoods, with no traditional downtown. Most of the housing stock consists of single-family ranch homes and townhomes built between the 1970s and early 1990s - concrete block construction with stucco exteriors, tile roofs, and slab foundations. Many homes have in-ground pools, which are practical year-round in South Florida's climate. You can learn more about Kendall on its Wikipedia page. Dadeland Mall, one of Florida's largest shopping centers, sits at the northern edge of Kendall and has been a landmark for the area since the 1960s.
Kendall is a high-ownership community - most residents are long-term homeowners who have lived here for years and invest in maintaining their properties. The area sits just a few miles east of Everglades National Park, and its flat terrain means drainage is a real factor in any outdoor construction project. Adjacent communities include The Hammocks to the southwest and Tamiami to the northwest, both of which we also serve regularly.
