Your old screened lanai or unfinished enclosure is taking up space your family could be using. We rebuild and finish sunrooms in The Hammocks so they are comfortable, hurricane-ready, and genuinely part of your home.
Sunroom remodeling in The Hammocks means transforming an existing screened lanai, porch, or unfinished enclosure into a fully finished, air-conditioned room your family can use every day of the year. Most projects in this area run four to eight weeks from permit approval to final walkthrough.
Many homes in The Hammocks were built in the 1980s and 1990s with aluminum-framed screened enclosures that were never designed to become real rooms. Over time those spaces become too hot to use, let in bugs and rain, or just sit empty. A proper remodel replaces the screens with hurricane-rated glass, adds real air conditioning, and finishes the walls, ceiling, and floor so the space functions like the rest of your home.
If you are also considering starting fresh with a new addition rather than rebuilding, take a look at our screen room installation service - and if you want to lock in a design before construction begins, our sunroom design process covers every detail before we break ground.
If your back porch is a place you walk past from June through September because the heat makes it unusable, the space is not working for you. The Hammocks' summer highs regularly hit the low 90s with heavy humidity, and a room without real air conditioning becomes a storage area rather than living space. A remodel with a properly sized cooling system changes that completely.
Brown stains on the ceiling, rust streaks down the aluminum frame, or flooring that feels soft near the walls all point to water getting in somewhere it should not. South Florida's rainy season is intense, and older screened enclosures that were not built to current standards will show their age after a few hurricane seasons. Moisture intrusion gets worse over time, not better.
If you can feel a draft near your window frames or see condensation forming on the inside of the glass, the seals have failed. In The Hammocks' humid climate, failed window seals do not just waste energy - they invite mold growth inside the wall cavity, which becomes a much more expensive problem to address the longer it goes unaddressed.
A room with its own struggling window unit - or no cooling at all - was never properly integrated into your home's living space. Connecting the sunroom to your central air system, or adding a properly sized dedicated unit, is the single change that makes the biggest difference in how often your family actually uses the space.
Every sunroom remodel we do starts with a thorough assessment of what is already there. We look at the existing framing, check whether it can support glass and a proper roof, and identify anything that needs to be reinforced or replaced before the finishing work begins. From there we handle everything - windows, walls, ceiling, flooring, and the cooling system - so the finished room feels like it was always part of your house.
For homeowners who want to take the space even further, we also offer full screen room installation when starting from a bare slab, and our sunroom design service is the right first step if you want everything planned and priced before any contracts are signed.
Best for homeowners with an existing aluminum-framed screened enclosure who want to turn it into a fully enclosed, air-conditioned room.
Suited to homeowners whose current sunroom lacks proper cooling and sealing, making it usable only part of the year.
For rooms where the structure is sound but the original windows have failed, allowing moisture in and heat to build up.
Covers floors, ceiling, electrical, and paint for homeowners who have a structurally solid enclosure that simply needs to be finished like a real room.
The Hammocks was developed primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, and a large share of homes in the community were built with aluminum-framed screened lanais as standard outdoor living spaces. Those enclosures were practical for their time, but they were never designed to handle South Florida's current hurricane standards or to function as year-round rooms. After 30 to 40 years of intense UV exposure, salt air, and repeated storm seasons, many of these structures are showing their age - and homeowners are realizing that a proper remodel is a better investment than patching problems year after year.
We work throughout the area, including neighborhoods in Kendale Lakes and Kendall, and we know what Miami-Dade County inspectors look for at each stage of a permitted remodel. HOA approval requirements are also part of the picture in many of these communities - we help homeowners understand what needs to be submitted and when, so there are no surprises midway through the project. The Miami-Dade Building Department sets strict standards for this work, and every remodel we complete is permitted and inspected to those standards.
When you reach out, we ask a few basic questions - room size, what it looks like now, and what you want it to become. We respond within one business day and can give you a rough ballpark before visiting your home, so neither of us is wasting time if the budget is far apart.
We visit your home to measure the space, inspect the existing structure, and check how the room connects to your electrical and HVAC systems. We note whether the current framing needs reinforcement to meet Miami-Dade's wind requirements, then provide a written quote that breaks down exactly what is included.
Before any work begins, we submit the permit application to Miami-Dade County's building department. If your HOA requires approval, we help you prepare what needs to be submitted. Permit review typically takes one to three weeks - we handle all the paperwork so you do not need to make a single call to the county.
Once permits are in hand, we clear the space, install new framing where needed, set the hurricane-rated windows, run electrical and HVAC connections, and finish the walls, ceiling, and floor. County inspectors verify the work at required stages. When everything passes, we walk through the finished room with you before we leave.
We respond within one business day. No obligation, no sales pressure - just a straight answer about what your project would involve.
(786) 435-0785Miami-Dade County's permit process for a sunroom remodel involves engineering drawings, product approvals, and multiple inspection stages. We prepare and submit the full application, coordinate with plan reviewers, and schedule every required inspection - you do not need to track down a single form. Every project we complete has a closed permit you can hand to a future buyer.
Every window we install in a sunroom remodel in The Hammocks meets Miami-Dade County's hurricane impact requirements - not as an add-on, but as the baseline. The county requires it, your insurance depends on it, and it is what makes the difference between a room that survives a storm and one that does not. The National Association of the Remodeling Industry recommends verifying that any contractor you hire uses products rated for your local wind zone.
The Hammocks has active homeowners associations that require written approval before exterior work can begin. We know the documentation these associations typically require, and we flag anything that needs HOA sign-off before the first nail goes in. Homeowners who skip this step often find themselves stopping work midway through and losing weeks waiting for retroactive approval.
A sunroom without proper air conditioning in The Hammocks is unusable from May through October. We assess your existing HVAC capacity and recommend the right solution - whether that is connecting to your central system or adding a dedicated mini-split unit - before the project is scoped and priced. Cooling is never an afterthought in our proposals.
We have been serving The Hammocks and the surrounding Miami-Dade communities since 2018, and we understand what it takes to get a remodeling project through the county's review process correctly on the first pass. When the work is done, the room should feel like it was always part of your home.
