Sunhaven Miramar Lanai Sunrooms & Patios handles sunroom remodeling, patio enclosures, and screen rooms throughout Lauderhill, FL - permitted through the City of Lauderhill and built to current Broward County wind-load codes for the concrete block homes, flat terrain, and salt-air conditions that define this community. We reply within one business day.
Lauderhill is a compact, densely built Broward County city where most single-family homes were constructed between the 1960s and 1980s. Concrete block construction is nearly universal here, and a large share of these homes already have rear slabs, older screen enclosures, or aging sunrooms that were built before current wind-load codes went into effect. That means a significant portion of our Lauderhill work involves remodeling and upgrading existing structures - not just building from scratch.
Many Lauderhill sunrooms were built in the 1980s and 1990s and now have corroded aluminum frames, failing glazing seals, and panel systems that predate modern wind-load requirements. Our sunroom remodeling service replaces the components that have worn out and brings the structure up to current Broward County code - so you end up with a room that functions well, holds up to hurricane-season storms, and adds real value to the property.
Lauderhill gets heavy afternoon rain from May through October, and South Florida's mosquito season runs nearly year-round. A patio enclosure keeps the rain and insects out of a rear slab that would otherwise sit unused for most of the wet season. Every enclosure we build in Lauderhill is permitted through the city and framed to Broward County wind-load standards.
For Lauderhill homeowners who want insect and rain protection without a full enclosure, a well-anchored screen room is a practical first step. The salt air that carries in from the Atlantic coast - even at this distance inland - corrodes standard aluminum screen frames over time. We use materials rated for coastal-proximity environments on every Lauderhill installation.
Lauderhill homeowners who want to convert an older screen room or open patio into a room that functions in July heat will need insulation, impact-rated glazing, and a connection to conditioned air. The 1960s-1980s CBS homes in neighborhoods like Inverrary have rear slab areas that are well-suited to this conversion - the wall attachment is straightforward and the existing footprint gives a good starting size.
Lauderhill is a fully built-out city with limited room to expand footprints, so adding a sunroom off the existing rear slab is the most practical way to gain conditioned living space. The flat terrain and consistent concrete block construction throughout the city make sunroom additions relatively predictable in terms of scope - the main variable is the condition of the existing slab and rear wall connection.
Lauderhill's long summer sun combined with frequent afternoon thunderstorms makes an uncovered rear slab difficult to use through most of the wet season. A properly anchored patio cover - sized and fastened to current Broward County wind requirements - provides rain protection and meaningful shade that extends how many hours per day the outdoor space is usable.
Lauderhill sits on completely flat terrain in the middle of Broward County, with a shallow water table that affects how well lots drain after heavy rain. The city is only 8.5 square miles but densely built, which means most properties have modest rear yard space and an existing concrete slab. That slab is often the foundation for any outdoor living project - and in Lauderhill, a slab that was poured in the 1970s may have decades of heat cycling, seasonal flooding, and root intrusion behind it. A contractor who works regularly in this city knows to inspect the slab carefully before framing over it, because a problem discovered after the structure is up is far more expensive to fix than one caught during a pre-construction assessment.
The salt air carried inland from the Atlantic coast - Lauderhill sits roughly 10 to 15 miles from the ocean - reaches this far and accelerates corrosion on aluminum framing, metal fasteners, and screen hardware. Older sunrooms and screen enclosures in Lauderhill show this wear clearly: corroded sill extrusions, rust-stained concrete, and fasteners that have lost their grip over time. Building with materials suited to coastal-proximity conditions and replacing worn hardware correctly is what separates a remodel that lasts another 20 years from one that starts showing the same problems within five.
Our crew works throughout Lauderhill regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. The concrete block homes that make up nearly all of Lauderhill's residential stock require specific anchoring techniques at the wall connection - CBS walls in this part of Broward County are typically 8-inch block, and the fastener pattern and embedment depth for a sunroom attachment must account for that. Getting the wall connection right is more consequential here than in wood-frame markets, because a CBS home does not flex the way framed construction does.
State Road 7 (US 441) runs north-south through Lauderhill as the city's main commercial spine, and Oakland Park Boulevard crosses east-west, with City Hall sitting on that corridor. Inverrary - a large master-planned neighborhood developed starting in the late 1960s - is one of the city's most recognizable communities, with distinct sections built around a golf course. Central Broward Regional Park, which hosts cricket matches and community events, anchors the western part of the city. We pull permits for Lauderhill projects through the City of Lauderhill Building Department and have a working familiarity with their process and timelines.
Lauderhill sits between Weston to the southwest and Sunrise to the west, and our crew moves between all three cities regularly. If your property is in any of these communities, we are not traveling in from another county to get to you.
Call or submit the form on this page and we will respond within one business day. We schedule on-site visits at a time that works for you - you do not need to take time off work to meet us.
We inspect the existing slab, the rear wall connection point, and the lot drainage at no charge. This is where we give you a specific cost estimate for your property - not a range pulled from a brochure. If the slab or an existing structure has issues that need to be addressed first, we tell you upfront.
We submit the permit application to the City of Lauderhill Building Department and begin construction once the permit is approved. You do not need to manage the permit process. Most Lauderhill projects take six to ten weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on scope.
We schedule the final city inspection and walk the completed project with you before we consider the job done. Any punch-list items are handled before we close out - not left for you to follow up on.

(754) 812-0382Lauderhill covers about 8.5 square miles in the middle of Broward County and is home to roughly 70,000 to 75,000 residents, making it one of the denser cities in the region. It is one of the most diverse communities in South Florida, with a large Caribbean-American population - particularly Jamaican and Haitian communities - that has given the city a distinctive character distinct from the more homogenous suburbs to the north and south. Inverrary, a large master-planned neighborhood built starting in the late 1960s, is the most recognized community within the city. The city of Lauderhill has a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, and apartment complexes across its compact footprint.
Most of Lauderhill's single-family homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s on flat, modest lots - the kind of CBS homes common throughout mid-century Broward County development. Central Broward Regional Park, which includes a stadium used for cricket and soccer, is one of the city's most prominent public spaces. The commercial life of the city runs along State Road 7 and Oakland Park Boulevard, while interior streets are quiet and residential. Neighbors to the east include Plantation - a similar-era suburban city where we also work regularly.
