WaveVista Weston Sunrooms & Patios builds patio enclosures, screen rooms, and sunroom additions for Sunrise homeowners - starting with the concrete block ranch homes that fill this city's neighborhoods and extending to newer condo and townhome communities. Broward County permits handled on every project. We respond within one business day.
Sunrise is a city of single-story ranch homes from the 1970s through 1990s, with a large share of condo and townhome communities layered in. Each of the services below is matched to what these properties actually need.
Sunrise gets heavy afternoon thunderstorms nearly every day from June through September, and an open patio takes the full force of that rain. A properly built patio enclosure seals out the rain and humidity without giving up natural light, turning a patio that floods every summer into a space you actually use during South Florida's stormiest months.
Screen enclosures are the most common outdoor upgrade in Sunrise's single-family neighborhoods, and for good reason - they are well-suited to the ranch-style homes that dominate the city. A screen room keeps insects out during Sunrise's long mosquito season, protects pool decks from debris after a storm, and costs considerably less than a fully enclosed room.
Air conditioning runs year-round in Sunrise - there is no real off-season for cooling in South Florida. If you want an enclosed addition you can use comfortably in July, it needs to connect to your home's HVAC system with proper insulation. An all season room gives you that, functioning as genuine livable square footage rather than a space that sits empty during the nine months of the year when heat and humidity dominate.
Many Sunrise ranch homes sit on lots under a quarter acre, which limits how far you can extend into the yard. A sunroom addition built tight against the existing roofline maximizes usable indoor space without eating into the limited yard area, and it can be designed to match the low-profile roofline that defines most homes in this city.
Sunrise has one of the highest concentrations of screened-in patios in Broward County, many of them original to homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. When those enclosures wear out - frames corroding, screens separating, roofs no longer meeting wind load requirements - converting them into a fully enclosed patio room gives you a much more durable and functional result than replacing the screen enclosure in kind.
For Sunrise homeowners who want shade and rain protection without committing to a full enclosure, a patio cover is the right first step. Sunrise's western neighborhoods sit close to the Everglades, and the afternoon sun hits the west and southwest exposures hard from April through October - a properly designed cover blocks that heat before it reaches your patio surface.
The bulk of Sunrise's housing was built between the early 1970s and early 1990s, which puts most homes at 30 to 50 years old today. Screen enclosures and patio structures installed during that era are almost universally past their useful life. Aluminum frames from that period corrode heavily in South Florida's coastal air, screen mesh separates from tracks, and the roof connections on older enclosures commonly fail the wind load ratings required under current Broward County code. When a storm inspector or insurance adjuster looks at a structure that does not meet today's requirements, they will note it - and that can affect your coverage. Replacing an aging enclosure with a properly permitted, wind-rated structure is the only way to address both the structural and insurance concerns at the same time.
Sunrise also has a geography-specific drainage issue that affects sunroom and enclosure work. The city's western edge runs against the Everglades conservation area, and the entire city sits on extremely flat terrain with a high water table. After heavy summer rain, water pools in yards and near foundations in ways that do not happen in cities with natural grade changes. Any new concrete slab, patio addition, or enclosure project in Sunrise needs a drainage assessment as part of the design - not as an afterthought. Getting it wrong means standing water under or around a new structure within the first rainy season.
Our crew works throughout Sunrise regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. Sunrise is a fully built-out city - there are no undeveloped subdivisions being carved out at the edges. The homes we work on here are established properties with mature landscaping, pool decks that have been in place for decades, and screen enclosures that are often original to the home. That context matters when we assess a project, because the existing conditions shape what is possible and what the permit scope will look like.
We know the landmarks. Sawgrass Mills sits at the heart of the city, and the street grid around it is familiar territory for our crew. Amerant Bank Arena, where the Florida Panthers play, anchors the western part of the city near NW 136th Avenue, and the neighborhoods around it include some of Sunrise's older ranch-home subdivisions that we work in frequently. Markham Park to the south is a reference point for the western edge of our service area in this part of Broward County.
We also serve homeowners in Lauderhill, which borders Sunrise to the east, and in Plantation. If your home sits near the border between Sunrise and either of those cities, reach out - we work in all three areas and pull permits through the same Broward County offices regardless of which address is on the application.
Call us at (786) 957-5827 or submit a request through our online form. Every Sunrise inquiry gets a response within one business day - usually the same day if you contact us during regular business hours.
We come to your Sunrise property, assess the existing patio structure, check slab condition and drainage, and measure the space. The written estimate we provide itemizes materials, labor, and permit fees separately - you should be able to compare it directly against any other quote you receive.
We prepare and submit the Broward County building permit application, including structural drawings and wind load documentation. County review typically runs two to four weeks for a complete first submission - we have done this enough times to know what a clean application looks like and how to avoid revision requests that delay the process.
Construction runs three to five weeks after permit approval, depending on the scope of the project. We schedule and coordinate all required Broward County inspections. When the final inspection passes, we provide the certificate of completion - the document your insurance carrier and future buyers will want to see.

(786) 957-5827Sunrise is a city of about 100,000 residents in western Broward County, incorporated in 1961 and built out largely through the 1970s and 1980s. Its most recognizable landmark is Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet malls in the United States and a point of reference that most Broward County residents know by name. The city's western boundary runs against the Everglades - there is nothing beyond the city's edge except one of the largest wetland systems in North America. That geography shapes both the character of the neighborhoods and the practical conditions homeowners deal with, including drainage, moisture, and wildlife near the western subdivisions.
The housing stock in Sunrise is dominated by single-story concrete block ranch homes built between the 1970s and early 1990s, with a significant layer of condo buildings and townhome complexes built through the 1980s and 1990s. Homeownership rates are around 60%, and median home values sit in the $340,000 to $360,000 range - a solidly middle-income homeowner market where people take care of their properties and stay for the long term. We work in Sunrise alongside our regular jobs in nearby Tamarac and Coral Springs, and the permitting and construction conditions in this part of western Broward are consistent across all three cities.
