Serving North Miami Beach, FL and surrounding areas. (786) 905-1487
A fully glass-enclosed solarium brings the outdoors inside without the heat, rain, or bugs. We design and build solariums in North Miami Beach using hurricane-rated glass and full permits.
Solarium installation in North Miami Beach means building a fully glass-enclosed room addition attached to your home. Unlike a screened porch or a basic sunroom, a solarium uses glass on both the walls and roof to let in maximum natural light while keeping South Florida weather completely outside. Most projects take eight to fourteen weeks from first contact to final inspection.
Many North Miami Beach homeowners come to us after years of watching their patio sit empty from June through September because of heat, afternoon storms, and no-see-ums. A solarium solves that problem entirely - you get a bright, permanent room that works comfortably in every month of the year. If you are comparing options, our custom sunrooms page covers designs that use a mix of glass and solid panels for a slightly different look and feel.
Every solarium we install is engineered for Miami-Dade County's hurricane standards, fully permitted, and designed to handle the heat and humidity of a South Florida summer. We also walk every homeowner through HOA approval requirements before a single permit is filed.
If your patio feels perfect from November through March but becomes too hot, too buggy, or too rainy to enjoy the rest of the year, a solarium solves that directly. North Miami Beach's combination of intense summer heat, afternoon thunderstorms, and mosquito pressure means an open porch has real limits - a fully enclosed glass room extends your usable living season to twelve months.
If you find yourself wishing your main living areas had more natural light, a solarium can dramatically change how your home feels inside. Many North Miami Beach homes built in the 1960s through 1980s were designed with smaller windows and less open floor plans than homeowners want today - a solarium addition brings in the light and outdoor connection that the original design lacked.
If your family has grown, you are working from home, or you need a dedicated space for a hobby or entertaining, a solarium adds a real room without the disruption of a full interior renovation. It is one of the few additions that genuinely feels like new space rather than just a rearrangement of what you already have.
If the screening is torn, the frame is corroding - which happens quickly in the salt air near the coast - or the structure no longer feels solid, it may make more sense to replace it with a permanent glass enclosure than to keep patching it. A solarium built to current hurricane standards will outlast a screened enclosure by decades in the coastal climate of North Miami Beach.
Our solarium projects range from straightforward rectangular additions to multi-angle designs that wrap around an existing corner of the home. Every build starts with a site visit to understand your yard layout, your existing roof line, and your HOA requirements - before we put anything on paper. We also help you think through cooling from the start, whether that means extending your central air system into the new room, adding a dedicated mini-split unit, or building in operable glass panels for natural ventilation.
Homeowners who want maximum glass coverage and a bright, airy feel tend to choose a solarium over a standard sunroom addition. Those who want something more like a traditional room with fewer glass surfaces often prefer our patio cover installation as a starting point, then add enclosure over time. If you want full creative input on materials, layout, and size, take a look at our custom sunrooms service for a side-by-side comparison.

Miami-Dade County has some of the most demanding building requirements in the entire country when it comes to glass room additions. Every piece of glass in a permanent addition must meet hurricane-impact resistance standards - this is state law and county code combined, and it applies to every solarium we install in North Miami Beach. That requirement pushes the cost of materials higher than national pricing guides suggest, but it also means your new room is engineered to survive storm season, not just look good on a calm day. Homeowners near the Intracoastal Waterway or in the Keystone Islands neighborhood face an additional factor: salt air from the water accelerates corrosion on any exposed metal framing, which is why we use aluminum systems with marine-grade coatings on waterfront properties.
The flat terrain and high water table in North Miami Beach also shape how foundation work gets done. Before we finalize any design, we assess the drainage around your property to make sure the new concrete slab or footing extension sheds water properly. Homeowners in Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach face similar coastal conditions, and we carry that same attention to drainage and salt-air materials across every project we do in this part of South Florida. A well-designed foundation here is not optional - it is the difference between a room that lasts thirty years and one that develops moisture problems in year three.
Reach out by phone or the contact form and we will schedule a visit to your home, usually within a few days. We reply to all inquiries within 1 business day. The visit is where we measure your space, look at your roof line, and talk through what you want the room to do.
After the visit, we put together a written estimate and a design proposal. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we identify the approval requirements upfront so there are no surprises later. Changes are easy to make on paper - much harder once framing has started.
Once you sign a contract, we submit the permit application to Miami-Dade County's Building Department and order materials. Permit review typically takes two to six weeks. You do not need to manage any of this - we handle the drawings, the application, and all follow-up communication with the county.
Construction begins with foundation work, then framing, then glass installation and interior finishing. A county inspector visits after construction is complete to verify the work meets all requirements. Once the inspection passes, we walk you through the finished room and hand you the permit documentation.
We handle everything - design, permits, HOA approval, and construction. No pressure, just answers. Reach out for a free estimate.
(786) 905-1487Every solarium we build in North Miami Beach is fully permitted through Miami-Dade County before a single shovel goes in. That means your addition is legal, documented, and protected - and you will never face a problem at closing because of unpermitted work.
We do not offer non-impact glass as a cheaper option. Every solarium we install uses glass that meets Miami-Dade County's hurricane standards - because that is what the law requires here and because it is what actually protects your home when a storm arrives. Learn more about impact glazing requirements at the Florida Building Commission.
A significant portion of homes in North Miami Beach fall within homeowners associations, particularly those built in the 1970s through 1990s. We know how to prepare and submit HOA design review packages so that approval is in hand before construction begins - not discovered as a problem mid-project.
A glass room in South Florida that was not designed with cooling in mind will be unusable in summer. We size and plan the cooling solution - central air extension, mini-split, or ventilation panels - during the design phase, not as an afterthought. Your room will be comfortable in July, not just in January.
Our track record in North Miami Beach comes down to two things: we do the work correctly the first time, and we do not cut corners on permits, glass specifications, or foundation work. Those are the three areas where solarium projects most often go wrong in South Florida, and they are the three areas we are most deliberate about getting right.
A permanent shading structure that can serve as the foundation for a future enclosure or stand alone as outdoor coverage.
