Serving Cutler Bay, FL and surrounding areas. (786) 434-0332
Cutler Bay Lanai Sunrooms & Patios is your local sunroom contractor in Kendall, serving homeowners in this large Miami-Dade community with four season sunrooms, patio enclosures, and screen rooms. We have responded to project inquiries within one business day and pull all permits through Miami-Dade County Building Department.
Kendall summers are long and brutal, and a room you can only use eight months of the year loses its appeal fast. Our four season sunrooms are built with insulated, low-e glass and tied into your home's HVAC so the space stays comfortable even in July.
Many Kendall homes from the 1970s and 1980s have flat concrete slabs behind the house that go unused because there is no protection from sun, rain, or insects. A permitted patio enclosure converts that slab into livable square footage without a full addition permit.
Mosquitoes are a year-round reality in Kendall, sitting this close to the Everglades. A properly framed screen room with tight aluminum framing lets you enjoy the outdoors without dealing with bugs or afternoon rain coming straight in.
Kendall's single-family ranch homes often have side yards or rear slabs that are underused. Adding a permitted sunroom addition is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase livable square footage on a property in this area without disturbing the existing footprint.
Kendall homeowners who entertain regularly need a space that works in December and in August. All season rooms are climate-controlled and sealed against humidity, making them suitable for use as dining areas, offices, or family rooms throughout the year.
Many Kendall homes built in the 1980s have older screen rooms or Florida rooms that were never insulated or climate-controlled. We remodel these spaces with modern insulated glass, updated framing, and proper HVAC connections so they become rooms people actually use.
Kendall is an unincorporated part of Miami-Dade County, which means permits go through the county rather than a local city building department. That distinction matters for sunroom projects because Miami-Dade has its own product approval lists, wind-load requirements, and inspection protocols. Contractors who work primarily in Broward or other counties sometimes underestimate what Miami-Dade requires, which can delay or derail a project. Our team pulls permits through Miami-Dade County Building Department regularly and knows the process well.
The housing stock in Kendall adds another layer of complexity. Most homes here were built between the 1970s and 1990s on concrete slabs. Older slabs sometimes have drainage issues or minor settlement that has to be addressed before a new enclosure goes up. The proximity to the Everglades also means the water table is high and rain events are intense - proper flashing, drainage design, and sealed framing are not optional here. We assess all of these factors before finalizing any project scope.
Our crew works throughout Kendall regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. Kendall sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, and all permits route through the county rather than any local city hall. We know the Miami-Dade County Building Department process and what the plans reviewers look for, which keeps projects moving.
Kendall is a large area. Homes near Dadeland Mall at the northern end sit in a denser part of the community, while homes in The Hammocks or further south near the Everglades boundary tend to be newer and sit on larger lots. Whether you are off Kendall Drive, near the Hammocks lakes, or closer to Kendale Lakes, we cover the whole area. We also regularly serve homeowners in Kendale Lakes, just north of Kendall, where the housing stock and permit requirements are nearly identical.
Hurricane Andrew in 1992 made landfall just south of Kendall and reshaped how every contractor in this area approaches structural work. We build to Miami-Dade's current high-velocity hurricane zone standards because that is what your home and your neighbors' homes require - not just what the code minimums allow.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and describe your project. We respond to all Kendall inquiries within one business day and schedule an on-site visit at a time that works for you.
We come to your Kendall property, review the slab or foundation area, check drainage and existing structures, and give you a written estimate with no hidden fees. We explain what Miami-Dade County will require before you commit to anything.
We handle the Miami-Dade County permit application, including structural drawings and product approvals. Once approved, our crew builds on schedule - most Kendall projects run four to eight weeks from permit approval to completion.
After the county inspection passes, we do a final walkthrough with you to confirm everything meets your expectations. You receive the certificate of completion for your records and for your homeowners insurance file.
We serve homeowners throughout Kendall and respond to all inquiries within one business day. No obligation to move forward after your free estimate.
(786) 434-0332Kendall is an unincorporated community in southwestern Miami-Dade County with a population of roughly 75,000 to 80,000 people. It is not its own municipality - county services handle everything from roads to building permits. The area developed rapidly from the 1970s through the early 1990s, and most of the housing stock reflects that era: single-story CBS ranch homes on concrete slabs, with stucco exteriors, tile roofs, and attached garages. Neighborhoods like The Hammocks and Kendale Trace are well known to residents throughout the area, and Dadeland Mall at the northern end of Kendall has been a landmark since the 1960s.
Kendall sits just a few miles east of Everglades National Park, and the flat, low-lying terrain means drainage is a real concern after heavy rain. The area is heavily owner-occupied, with a high rate of long-term residents who take pride in maintaining their homes. Nearby communities include Coral Gables to the north and Kendale Lakes to the northwest, both of which we also serve regularly.
