Sunhaven Miramar Lanai Sunrooms & Patios builds four season sunrooms, patio enclosures, and screen rooms throughout Plantation, FL - fully permitted through the City of Plantation and built for the concrete block homes, flat drainage conditions, and active code enforcement that define this community. We reply within one business day.
Plantation was master-planned starting in the 1940s and built out primarily through the 1960s and 1980s. Nearly every home is concrete block with a stucco exterior - solid construction that handles outdoor additions well, but requires a contractor who knows how to anchor and seal into CBS walls correctly. The city also has active code enforcement, so every project we build here is properly permitted and inspected.
Plantation homeowners who want a room that works in July just as well as in January need more than a screened space - the summer heat requires real insulation and climate control. Our four season sunrooms use impact-rated glazing, insulated panels, and HVAC connections designed for South Florida's long, hot summers. For established Plantation homes in the Jacaranda area or near the Broward Boulevard corridor, this is the addition that turns an open rear slab into genuinely livable space every month of the year.
Plantation gets heavy afternoon rain from May through October, and an open rear slab becomes a wet, unusable space for much of the year. A patio enclosure keeps the rain and insects out while maintaining a connection to the backyard. We permit every enclosure through the City of Plantation Building Department - important in a city where unpermitted exterior work can trigger code enforcement issues.
For Plantation homeowners who want to keep insects and afternoon rain out without a full enclosure, a properly built screen room is the right starting point. We frame and anchor screen rooms to meet Broward County wind-load requirements, which matters during a hurricane-season storm - a screen room built to code has a much better chance of surviving intact than one framed to a lesser standard.
Plantation is a built-out city, which means most homeowners looking to add space are working off what they already have. A sunroom addition off the existing rear slab adds conditioned square footage that counts toward the home's appraised value without the disruption or cost of a full structural addition. The concrete block homes in Plantation handle sunroom attachment well - this is a natural project for the housing stock here.
Homes in Plantation's Jacaranda community and other established neighborhoods often have specific setback, height, and finish requirements that a standard catalog design will not satisfy. A custom sunroom allows the layout, materials, and finishes to be matched to what the property needs - and to the architectural character of the neighborhood - rather than forcing a generic design onto a home that deserves something specific.
Plantation's year-round sun and summer rain make an uncovered rear patio uncomfortable for most of the day during peak months. A patio cover provides shade and rain protection that extends usable hours significantly. For properties near the canals that run through the city, we size and anchor covers to account for the open wind exposure that comes with a waterside lot.
Plantation was built on land that was originally Everglades wetland, drained and developed starting in the mid-20th century. The terrain is completely flat and the water table is shallow - two conditions that matter a great deal for any work involving footings, post installation, or new concrete. Many lots in the city back up to drainage canals, and the soil near those canals stays saturated through the wet season and beyond. Before anchoring a sunroom or screen enclosure frame, a contractor who knows Plantation will assess how the lot drains and whether any portion of the slab shows movement from soil conditions below. Getting that assessment right at the start is far less expensive than addressing it after framing is complete.
The City of Plantation has a reputation for active code enforcement on exterior alterations. Unpermitted fences, roofing, and outdoor structures regularly generate violations here, and those violations complicate resale and insurance claims. Every project we complete in Plantation goes through the city's permitting process - we submit the application, manage the review, and schedule the required inspections. A homeowner should never have to wonder whether the sunroom addition on their property is properly documented with the city.
Our crew works throughout Plantation regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and patio enclosure work here. The concrete block homes that make up most of the city require specific anchoring and sealing techniques at the wall connection - the right approach for CBS construction in South Florida is different from what works on wood-frame homes. We work with this construction type on the majority of our Broward County projects, so it is not a learning curve for our crew.
Broward Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard are the main east-west travel routes through the city, and University Drive is the primary north-south corridor. The Jacaranda neighborhood in western Plantation - with its winding streets and mature landscaping - is one of the more distinctive residential areas in the city, and we have worked in those neighborhoods alongside the Broward Boulevard corridor homes closer to the eastern edge. The City of Plantation Building Department processes our permit applications for every project here, and we have a working familiarity with their review timeline and documentation requirements.
Plantation borders Davie to the west and Sunrise to the north - two communities where we also work frequently. If your neighbors in either city have worked with us, you are likely seeing similar homes with similar conditions.
Call or submit the contact form and we will get back to you within one business day. We schedule a free on-site visit - no deposit, no commitment.
We visit, check the slab condition and drainage, measure the space, and give you a written estimate that covers everything. Cost questions are answered at this visit - no unknowns waiting until after you sign.
We submit to the City of Plantation Building Department and begin work after permit approval. You do not need to manage the permit process - we handle all submissions, responses, and inspection scheduling.
Once construction is complete, we schedule the city inspection. After it passes, we do a final walkthrough together. The project is not closed until you have confirmed everything meets your expectations.

(754) 812-0382Plantation is a city of roughly 90,000 people in Broward County, situated just west of Fort Lauderdale. It was built according to a master plan starting in the mid-20th century, and that organized origin shows in its layout - distinct residential districts, clear commercial corridors along Broward Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard, and large planned neighborhoods like Jacaranda in the western part of the city. According to the city profile on Wikipedia, Plantation was conceived as a planned agricultural and residential community in the 1940s before becoming a full city. Most of the housing stock was built between the 1960s and the 1980s - single-story concrete block homes on modest lots, often with attached garages and fenced rear yards.
The city is largely owner-occupied and has a reputation as a stable, established residential community. Home values here tend to run above the Florida average, and homeowners generally invest in maintaining and improving their properties. The drainage canals that run through and around Plantation are a defining feature of the landscape - many lots back directly up to these canals, and the South New River Canal along the southern edge of the city borders Plantation Preserve, a city-owned golf course and nature area. Plantation sits between Davie to the west and Fort Lauderdale to the east, with Sunrise directly to the north - a well-connected location in the center of western Broward County.
