Prism Parkland Lanai Sunrooms and Patios handles sunroom remodeling, screen room upgrades, and new patio enclosures for North Lauderdale homeowners - including the city's many 1970s-era concrete block homes that are due for a real exterior refresh. We have served Broward County since 2015 and respond to new inquiries within 1 business day.
North Lauderdale has a large number of older screen enclosures and screened patios from the 1970s and 1980s that are past their useful life - faded frames, torn screens, and structures that were never built to current wind standards. A proper sunroom remodel replaces worn components with code-compliant materials and, where the homeowner wants it, upgrades the space from a basic screen room to a fully enclosed, climate-controlled room.
North Lauderdale's compact neighborhoods sit in the middle of Broward County, far enough inland to avoid the most intense salt air but still firmly in South Florida mosquito territory. A new screen room gives you a usable outdoor space with protection from insects and afternoon rain - built with corrosion-resistant frames that hold up better than the original aluminum that came standard in 1970s-era homes.
Most North Lauderdale single-family homes have modest backyards with a concrete slab patio that spends half the year collecting rain and the other half baking in the sun. Enclosing that slab with solid walls and a proper roof turns it into a room you can actually use, and it adds square footage to your home with a lower cost-per-foot than a full room addition from scratch.
North Lauderdale's summer heat and humidity from May through October make an un-air-conditioned room genuinely unusable at peak temperatures. A four season sunroom with insulated panels and a dedicated mini-split gives you a light-filled space that works year-round in this climate, not just during the dry season.
In North Lauderdale's humid, high-UV environment, vinyl sunroom framing holds up better than painted wood over the long term - it does not rot, does not need repainting, and resists the moisture that works its way into exposed wood joints in South Florida's wet season. For homeowners looking for lower long-term maintenance, vinyl is a practical choice in this climate.
For North Lauderdale homeowners who want more usable outdoor space without committing to a full enclosure, a solid patio cover provides shading, weather protection, and a finished look at a lower total cost. We anchor covers to meet Broward County wind requirements, so they stay in place when summer thunderstorms blow through.
North Lauderdale was built out almost entirely during the 1970s development boom, and that timing is now very visible across the city. Most single-family homes are 40 to 50 years old - concrete block construction, low-pitched roofs, and the screen enclosures and patio structures that came with them. South Florida's intense UV exposure, humidity, and hurricane-season wind gusts have been working on those structures for decades. Many of the aluminum screen frames and patio enclosures installed in that era were built to standards that are no longer code-compliant for wind-load resistance, and they show the wear of living through multiple named storms. The question most homeowners in North Lauderdale are asking is not whether their patio structure needs attention - it is whether to repair it again or replace it properly this time.
The city's flat, low-lying terrain adds another consideration that is specific to North Lauderdale and the surrounding communities in north-central Broward County. The area was originally farmland and sits at very low elevation, with a high water table and a local water control district managing drainage. After heavy summer rain, water moves slowly across the flat landscape and can pool against slabs, fence lines, and the base of exterior walls. Any contractor building or remodeling a sunroom or enclosure here needs to account for that drainage environment at the design stage - not after water intrusion problems show up. Sandy soil with moisture also affects how post footings and anchor points behave over time.
Our crew works throughout North Lauderdale regularly, pulling permits through the City of North Lauderdale building department and working with its inspectors on enclosed structure and patio addition permits. North Lauderdale handles its own permits locally rather than through the county, so familiarity with the city's specific review process and timeline matters when you are planning a project here.
State Road 7 (US 441) and the Florida Turnpike access points are the main corridors we use when traveling to North Lauderdale job sites. The city is compact - at just 4.6 square miles - and we know every part of it, from the residential blocks near Boulevard of Champions to the neighborhoods closer to the SR-7 corridor and out toward the city's borders with Margate and Coconut Creek. We also work regularly at rental properties and owner-managed units, and we understand that landlords and property managers here need reliable turnaround on repair and remodel work.
Because North Lauderdale borders several other communities we serve, it is easy for us to move between them. Homeowners in neighboring Tamarac - which shares North Lauderdale's mid-century housing stock and Broward County permit environment - call on us regularly for the same type of enclosure and remodel work. We serve Margate homeowners as well, where similar building ages and property types mean the same practical knowledge applies.
Call us or submit our contact form. We respond within 1 business day and set up a time to visit your property at no cost. North Lauderdale is a compact city and we can usually schedule a visit quickly.
We visit the property, assess the existing structure or build area, and look at drainage and grading around the slab. You receive a detailed written quote covering materials, labor, and the permit timeline - so you understand the full scope before signing anything.
We submit the permit application to the City of North Lauderdale and manage the review process. Once the permit is approved, construction begins. The physical work on most North Lauderdale remodels and enclosures takes a few weeks once we are on site.
The city's building inspector reviews the completed work. When the final inspection passes, we walk you through the finished space, hand over the permit paperwork, and review any maintenance considerations specific to your new structure. The permit record stays with your home.
We work throughout North Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward County communities. No obligation - just a free on-site estimate.
(754) 320-5727North Lauderdale covers about 4.6 square miles in north-central Broward County, with roughly 44,000 residents packed into a compact, densely populated footprint. The city developed rapidly during the late 1960s and through the 1970s, when affordable single-family homes on modest lots drew working families from across the country. That development era left North Lauderdale with a distinctive and now-aging housing stock - mostly single-story, concrete block homes with small yards, carports or detached garages, and the kind of exterior structures that were built to the standards of that time. Boulevard of Champions, the distinctive curved road designed by architect Morris Lapidus as part of the original city plan, is one of the most recognizable local landmarks. Hampton Pines Park hosts community events including the city's annual Haunted Hamptons Halloween gathering and serves as a gathering point for the city's family-oriented population.
The city is bordered by Margate to the west, Coconut Creek to the north, Lauderhill to the south, and Tamarac to the northwest, all of which share similar housing ages and building conditions. State Road 7 (US 441) runs along the western edge and is the main commercial corridor for the area. North Lauderdale has a young median age and a large share of households with children, giving it a community character that is notably active and neighborhood-oriented. Homeowners here include longtime residents whose homes are now well past their 40-year mark, as well as newer arrivals who may not yet know how much exterior maintenance a South Florida home of this age typically requires. Our neighbors in Tamarac and Margate face the same conditions and can count on us for the same quality of work.
