Serving Tamiami, FL and surrounding areas. (786) 687-0296
Your patio slab is already there. We add the frame, roof, and panels - screen or glass - so you get a protected room that works year-round in South Florida weather, without the cost of a full addition.
Patio enclosures in Tamiami turn your existing outdoor slab into a protected, covered room by adding aluminum framing and screen or glass panels - most installations take one to three days of active work, with a total timeline of six to ten weeks once Miami-Dade County permit review is included.
A patio enclosure is not the same as a full home addition. It uses the slab you already have and does not require the same level of structural work. The result is a room that keeps bugs, rain, and direct sun out - so you can actually use your backyard space instead of just looking at it through the window.
If you are deciding between a screen room and a more fully enclosed space, our custom sunrooms and enclosed patio rooms pages will give you more detail on the options that include full weather sealing and climate control.
If your outdoor furniture gets used a few times a year because mosquitoes and afternoon heat make the space miserable, an enclosure changes that. In Tamiami, where the canal systems and proximity to the Everglades mean mosquito pressure is constant, a screened or glass enclosure is not a luxury - it is what makes the patio actually usable.
If you are repainting, resealing, or replacing patio furniture every season because South Florida's UV and rain destroy everything left outside, an enclosure protects what is underneath it. The cost of constant replacement adds up faster than most homeowners realize.
If you already have an older screen room and the panels are torn, the frame has pulled away from the slab, or bugs are getting through gaps, that structure is at the end of its life. Screen mesh in this climate typically lasts 7 to 10 years before UV degradation makes it brittle. Replacing the whole enclosure is usually more cost-effective than ongoing patch repairs.
If your family has outgrown your home's interior but a full room addition feels too expensive or disruptive, a patio enclosure on your existing slab is often the most practical way to add functional square footage without a major construction project.
The two most common choices for Tamiami patios are screen enclosures and glass enclosures. Screen rooms use fine mesh panels that let air flow freely while keeping insects and rain out - they are the most popular and affordable option in South Florida, and they work beautifully for evening use when the temperature drops. Glass enclosures use actual panels that fully seal the space, which means you can connect cooling and use the room comfortably even on hot afternoons.
For homeowners who want even more from their outdoor space, we also build custom sunrooms and enclosed patio rooms that include full weather sealing, upgraded flooring, and options for ceiling fans and lighting. Both links will walk you through what is included and who each option suits best.
The most cost-effective option for bug and rain protection - ideal for homeowners who want maximum airflow and an affordable starting point.
Best for homeowners who want to use the space comfortably year-round and do not mind the additional investment for a fully sealed room.
For older screen rooms that are past their useful life - we remove the failing structure and install a new enclosure on the same slab.
Some enclosures use screen panels on the sides and a solid roof with optional glass inserts - a popular middle ground for South Florida patios.
Tamiami is classified as a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone by Miami-Dade County - the most demanding wind-resistance designation in the country. That means every component of your enclosure, from the frame anchors to the screen panels, has to meet stricter standards than almost anywhere else in the U.S. The upside is real: a properly permitted enclosure here is built to survive serious storms, not just light rain. South Florida's average of over 250 sunny days per year and summer heat indices regularly exceeding 100 degrees also mean that shade and ventilation are not optional - they are what make your backyard livable.
We build enclosures across western Miami-Dade, and homeowners in Westchester and Sweetwater face the same wind requirements and HOA review processes that apply in Tamiami. Local knowledge of the permit timeline and the HOA landscape in these neighborhoods makes the process faster and less stressful for everyone.

Many Tamiami neighborhoods require HOA architectural review before a permit can be submitted. We know to ask about your HOA upfront and can help you understand what designs are most likely to be approved before any plans are drawn.
Every enclosure we build goes through Miami-Dade's permit and inspection process, which means an independent county inspector - not just us - verifies the work meets local standards. For more on what those standards require, the Miami-Dade County Building Department has full details online. The Florida Home Builders Association also maintains resources on contractor licensing and building standards statewide.
If you want a fully designed, climate-controlled room rather than a patio conversion, a custom sunroom gives you more control over layout, materials, and finishes.
