North Miami Beach Lanai Sunrooms & Patios builds patio enclosures, sunroom additions, and screen rooms for homeowners throughout Miami Gardens, FL. We specialize in the concrete block construction common throughout this city, and every project we complete is built to Miami-Dade County hurricane standards and fully permitted from start to finish.

Most Miami Gardens homes have a concrete patio slab out back that sits empty for months because of the heat and afternoon rain. A properly built patio enclosure turns that slab into a room you can actually use in July. See everything that goes into our patio enclosures service.
Miami Gardens homes from the 1950s and 1960s have slab foundations that provide a solid starting point for a new sunroom, but they need to be assessed before framing begins. We check the slab condition during every estimate visit so there are no surprises once work is underway.
Miami Gardens gets about 60 inches of rain a year, and the mosquitoes are relentless in the wet months. A marine-grade aluminum screen room keeps both out while leaving the airflow in - and it is the most affordable way to make your backyard usable for most of the year.
Many Miami Gardens homeowners have a bare concrete slab they stopped using years ago. Converting that existing footprint into a fully enclosed sunroom adds real living space without the disruption of breaking new ground, and it is one of the most efficient upgrades you can make on a home this age.
An enclosed patio room sits between a screen room and a full sunroom - solid walls on two or three sides, a roof that sheds rain, and a way to control airflow on the remaining sides. For Miami Gardens homes with modest-sized backyards, this is often the right fit between cost and comfort.
Every home in Miami Gardens has a slightly different footprint, lot size, and backyard layout. A custom sunroom is designed around what you actually have to work with, not a catalog kit that may not fit your property or pass Miami-Dade County inspection requirements.
Miami Gardens is a large, densely residential city where nearly every home was built using concrete block construction during the 1950s and 1960s. That building method is durable for South Florida's climate, but it does create specific conditions for any outdoor addition. Concrete block homes sit on slab foundations - there are no basements or raised crawl spaces - and those slabs can shift, crack, or develop moisture issues over 60 or 70 years. A contractor who has not worked extensively on this type of housing stock may skip the slab assessment entirely, which means problems get discovered after framing has already started.
Miami-Dade County's wind-resistance requirements apply equally in Miami Gardens, and they are not optional. Every patio enclosure, screen room, or sunroom addition must be designed to handle the wind loads that come with a serious hurricane. The county enforces this through inspections, and a project that does not meet the standard will not get a final sign-off. Beyond code, the city gets roughly 60 inches of rain per year, most of it hitting in the summer afternoon thunderstorms that are common from May through October. Waterproofing details that hold up in drier climates simply are not enough here - seals, flashing, and roof drainage all need to be designed for this level of regular soaking.
Our crew works throughout Miami Gardens regularly, and we are familiar with the permit process through Miami-Dade County Building and Permitting for projects in this city. Miami Gardens is the third-largest city in Miami-Dade County by population, which means the building department sees a high volume of permit applications - getting paperwork in correctly the first time matters more here than in smaller municipalities.
The housing stock here is consistent throughout most of the city - block after block of postwar concrete block homes with modest backyards and slab foundations. The old Carol City neighborhoods near Florida Memorial University and the blocks closer to Hard Rock Stadium share the same basic building profile. We serve the whole city, and we also work regularly in nearby Opa-locka, FL, which sits just to the east and has a very similar mix of older concrete block homes and slab foundations. Whether your home is on the west side of the city near the county line or closer to the stadium area, we know the territory.
Reach out by phone or through the contact form. We respond within 1 business day to schedule an on-site visit. You do not need a design picked out - just tell us what you want to do with the space.
We come to your property, measure the space, and check the condition of your existing slab or foundation. Any concerns about the foundation are flagged during this visit - not mid-project. You leave with a written estimate and a clear price before anything moves forward.
We handle the permit application with Miami-Dade County on your behalf. Review typically takes three to six weeks in this jurisdiction. We manage the process and notify you when approval comes through and construction can be scheduled.
Construction runs one to three weeks for a screen room, or two to five weeks for a full sunroom. Miami-Dade County requires a final inspection before the permit closes - we schedule it and attend it. Once signed off, we walk you through the finished space and hand over all permit paperwork.

(786) 905-1487Miami Gardens is a city of about 115,000 people spread across roughly 20 square miles in northern Miami-Dade County, making it the third-largest city in the county. It was incorporated in 2003, but most of its homes date back to the 1950s and 1960s, when the area was being built out as part of South Florida's postwar suburban expansion. Long-time residents still refer to many of the neighborhoods as Carol City, the name the community carried before incorporation. The city is home to Hard Rock Stadium, where the Miami Dolphins play and which also hosts the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix - a landmark that nearly every resident uses to orient themselves within the city. More context on the city's history and layout is available on the Miami Gardens Wikipedia page.
The residential character of Miami Gardens is consistent throughout - block after block of single-story concrete block homes with stucco exteriors, slab foundations, and modest backyards. These are working-class homeowner neighborhoods where many families have lived for years and maintain their properties carefully. The housing stock is aging, and outdoor living upgrades like patio enclosures and screen rooms are common projects here because the existing slabs are already in place. We also work frequently in nearby North Miami, FL, which shares a similar mix of postwar concrete block homes and the same Miami-Dade County permit requirements that govern work throughout this part of the county.
