Sunhaven Miramar Lanai Sunrooms & Patios builds screen rooms, patio enclosures, and sunroom additions throughout Sunrise, FL - permitted to Florida wind code and designed for the 1970s and 1980s CBS homes that make up most of the city. We reply within one business day.
Most homes in Sunrise were built between the 1960s and the early 1990s on flat, formerly low-lying land. The combination of aging concrete slabs, South Florida humidity, and a long wet season means outdoor structures here need to be built thoughtfully - not just bolted on and forgotten.
Sunrise gets a heavy dose of afternoon thunderstorms from June through September, and insects are a year-round issue - a properly built screen room solves both without requiring a full glass enclosure. Our screen room installation uses frames and panels rated for South Florida wind loads, anchored to the existing slab with hardware designed to hold through a hurricane-season storm. For many Sunrise homeowners, this is the right first step toward making the backyard truly usable.
Many Sunrise homes have a concrete rear slab that has sat open since the home was built in the 1970s or 1980s. A patio enclosure turns that neglected space into something useful - a room that keeps rain, insects, and debris out while staying connected to the backyard. We build enclosures that meet Broward County wind code requirements and keep the project on the right side of city permitting.
Homes in Sunrise are largely built out, so adding living space typically means building off the existing footprint rather than starting fresh. A sunroom addition built off the rear slab adds conditioned, usable square footage without a full structural tear-out - and without the permit complexity of a conventional room addition. This is one of the more cost-effective ways to expand what a Sunrise home can do.
For Sunrise homeowners who want a fully finished, climate-controlled room rather than a screened space, a four season sunroom with impact-rated glazing delivers interior-grade comfort year-round. The glass keeps the summer heat out while bringing in natural light - the kind of space that works as a dining room, home office, or lounge in any month. It is particularly well-suited to homes near Sawgrass Mills or along the West Oakland Park Boulevard corridor where lot sizes allow a rear addition.
An enclosed patio room is a step up from a screen enclosure - it uses solid panels or glass walls rather than screen, which means it provides real protection from South Florida rain and keeps the space usable even during heavy summer storms. For Sunrise homeowners who spend time outside but find themselves driven in by afternoon showers every day from June through October, this is the upgrade that changes the routine.
Sunrise receives intense UV year-round, and an uncovered rear slab or deck gets hot enough to be unusable during the summer months. A patio cover provides shade and rain protection that extends how long the space is comfortable each day. We build covers that are anchored and sized to handle South Florida wind exposure rather than the lighter-duty versions sold at home improvement stores.
Sunrise was developed starting in the early 1960s, with the bulk of its housing stock built through the 1970s and 1980s. That means most homes in the city are now 40 to 60 years old - old enough that driveways and slabs have cycled through many seasons of heat, rain, and occasional freeze, and concrete block structures have settled into their footings in ways that newer construction has not. Before framing any outdoor addition, an experienced contractor checks the condition of the existing slab and assesses how the lot drains. On a flat, formerly wetland parcel, this step matters more than it would on a sloped lot with good natural drainage.
South Florida's hurricane season runs from June through November, and Sunrise is well within the wind zone that requires structures to meet Broward County's current wind-load requirements. A screen room or sunroom addition built to those standards will hold through a typical tropical storm. One built to a lesser specification is a liability when the season gets active. The Florida Building Code requires permits and inspections for attached outdoor structures for exactly this reason - and working with a contractor who understands how to build to that standard from the start is the difference between a room that survives and one that becomes a repair bill.
Our crew works throughout Sunrise regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and screen room work here. The city is predominantly made up of concrete block homes built before 1990, and the majority of rear slabs we work from are original pours - good bones, but worth a thorough inspection before framing. The flat terrain and former wetland drainage conditions mean water does not always move away from slabs quickly after heavy rain, which affects both footing stability and long-term frame corrosion if drainage is not addressed.
West Oakland Park Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard are the main east-west routes through the city, and University Drive connects the neighborhoods running north to south. Sawgrass Mills - one of the largest retail centers in the country - sits on the western edge of the city near the Sawgrass Expressway, and Amerant Bank Arena is nearby along that same corridor. The City of Sunrise Building Division handles all permit applications and inspections for attached outdoor structures, and we coordinate with that office on every permitted project in the city.
Sunrise sits between Plantation to the south and Lauderhill to the east - two cities where we also work regularly. If you are in any of these connected communities and want to know what a screen room or sunroom addition would look like for your specific home, we are the local contractor covering this part of Broward County.
Call us or fill out the contact form and we will respond within one business day. We schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you - no commitment required.
We visit your home, assess the existing slab condition, and measure the space. The estimate you receive covers the full project scope - no add-ons discovered after you sign. Cost questions are answered here, not later.
We submit the permit application to the City of Sunrise Building Division and schedule your job once approval is confirmed. You do not need to be home for every day of construction, though we keep you updated as each phase wraps up.
After construction wraps up, the city inspection is scheduled. Once that passes, we do a final walkthrough with you to confirm everything is right before we close out the project.

(754) 812-0382Sunrise is a city of close to 100,000 people in central-western Broward County, developed starting in the early 1960s and largely built out by the mid-1990s. The residential landscape is a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and low-rise condominiums - most built in the 1970s and 1980s with concrete block construction. The city stretches from the eastern neighborhoods near Lauderhill to the western commercial corridor near the Sawgrass Expressway. According to the city's history on Wikipedia, Sunrise was originally planned as a small development and grew into one of the larger cities in the county over the following decades.
The city is anchored by major destinations including Sawgrass Mills mall on the western edge and Amerant Bank Arena near the Sawgrass Expressway corridor. West Oakland Park Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard are the primary east-west routes, with University Drive and Flamingo Road providing north-south connections through the residential neighborhoods. Sunrise borders Davie to the south and Lauderhill to the east - two communities we also serve. The combination of established neighborhoods, aging housing stock, and year-round South Florida climate makes this one of the more active markets in the county for screen rooms and sunroom additions.
