Coral Springs Lanai Sunrooms & Patios builds enclosed patio rooms, screen rooms, and sunroom additions for Lauderdale Lakes homeowners. We know the mid-century CBS homes in this city, the conditions they face, and the City of Lauderdale Lakes permitting process.
Lauderdale Lakes has a large number of mid-century homes with rear patios that were built open and have never been properly enclosed. Turning that existing slab into a finished, weathertight room adds usable square footage and gives the rear wall of your home a shade buffer from afternoon sun. Our enclosed patio rooms are built to Broward County wind-load standards and designed to last on the CBS construction that is common throughout this city.
Lauderdale Lakes sits alongside several small lakes and water bodies that keep the mosquito population active through most of the year. A properly built screen room gives you a usable outdoor space in the evenings without the bug pressure, and the open design stays naturally cooler than a fully glazed enclosure during the afternoon hours when the heat is most intense.
Lauderdale Lakes homes on flat, low-lying lots near the city's namesake water bodies are especially vulnerable to standing water after summer thunderstorms. A patio enclosure slab that is not properly elevated and drained will show water intrusion quickly in this environment, which is why we pay close attention to slab height and drainage design on every job in this city.
Adding a sunroom onto a 1960s or 1970s CBS home in Lauderdale Lakes requires anchoring into older block construction and meeting current Broward County wind-resistance standards - which are more demanding than what the original structure was built to. We design sunroom additions specifically for the construction methods and conditions common in Lauderdale Lakes older neighborhoods.
Many Lauderdale Lakes homes have an existing concrete slab in good condition that was simply never enclosed. If the slab is properly sized and at the right elevation, converting it into a climate-controlled sunroom costs less and takes less time than building from scratch - making it a practical option for homeowners who want more out of a space they already have.
In Lauderdale Lakes, where winters are mild and the dry season runs from roughly November through April, a three season sunroom with ceiling fans and good cross-ventilation is genuinely usable for most of the year. It offers more protection from rain and bugs than a screen room while keeping the open, airy feel that makes South Florida outdoor living appealing.
Lauderdale Lakes was incorporated in 1961 and grew quickly through the 1960s and 1970s, which means the majority of the city's residential housing stock is now 50 to 60 years old. One-story CBS homes on modest lots, built with flat or low-slope roofs and short concrete driveways, make up most of the single-family neighborhoods here. After five or six decades of South Florida heat, UV exposure, and hurricane seasons, the outdoor features on these homes - screen enclosures, patios, carport roofs - are often well past their useful life. At the same time, the city's flat, low-lying terrain alongside its lakes and drainage channels means that standing water after heavy rain is a routine condition rather than an exception. Any slab or frame set at grade level without adequate drainage detail will absorb that moisture over time, especially when the concrete block and stucco construction underneath it is already showing age.
Lauderdale Lakes is also a denser city than many Broward suburbs, with small lots, narrow side yards, and homes that sit close to the street. That affects what is practical for a sunroom or enclosure project - footprint, setbacks, and vehicle access for the crew all need to be thought through before a design is finalized. Contractors who work here need to be comfortable with the logistics of tighter residential lots in addition to knowing the local building code. The City of Lauderdale Lakes operates its own building department, and permits here are a requirement - not something to skip.
Our crew works throughout Lauderdale Lakes regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. State Road 7 and Oakland Park Boulevard are the main corridors we use to get to jobs in the city, and the residential streets branching off those corridors are where most of our Lauderdale Lakes projects happen. The city is compact - just over four square miles - so we know it well, including the lower-lying blocks closest to the lakes where drainage considerations are most significant.
Working on mid-century CBS homes is routine for our crew. We know how to anchor into 60-year-old block construction properly, and we know which parts of an older exterior wall need inspection before new frame connections go in. The combination of age, salt-tinged humidity, and UV exposure common in this city means the existing structure sometimes needs attention before a new enclosure goes up - and we account for that in the estimate rather than discovering it mid-job. Vincent Torres Memorial Park is a neighborhood landmark that many of our Lauderdale Lakes customers reference when describing where they live, and it gives you a sense of the community feel that defines the city.

(754) 318-0068Lauderdale Lakes is a small, dense city in central Broward County covering roughly four square miles. It sits at the intersection of State Road 7 (US 441) and Oakland Park Boulevard, two of the most-traveled corridors in the county. The city was incorporated in 1961 and developed quickly over the following two decades, which gives it one of the older housing stocks in Broward. The residential neighborhoods are made up primarily of one-story CBS homes on modest lots, many built in the 1960s and early 1970s. Those homes are now between 50 and 60 years old, and outdoor features - original screen enclosures, carport roofs, concrete patios - are routinely at the point where replacement or enclosure makes practical sense. The city is named for the small lakes and water bodies scattered throughout it, which give the city its character but also contribute to the drainage dynamics that contractors need to factor in when doing any ground-level work.
Lauderdale Lakes has a diverse, close-knit community with a strong Caribbean-American presence, and community gathering places like Vincent Torres Memorial Park serve as anchors for neighborhood life. The city has a mix of owner-occupied single-family homes and rental properties, and both homeowners and property managers regularly hire contractors for enclosure and sunroom work here. Neighboring Sunrise to the west has a similar vintage of CBS residential construction, and we work there often. Homeowners in Lauderhill to the south also reach out to us for the same types of projects that are common in Lauderdale Lakes.
