LibertyMark Fort Lauderdale Sunrooms serves Sunrise with all season rooms, screen enclosures, and patio enclosures designed for the area's CBS ranch homes and western Broward County climate. We know the Sawgrass corridor, the neighborhoods near Markham Park, and the inland heat conditions that demand more from every sunroom we build here.
Sunrise sits inland without an ocean breeze, which means summer temperatures in the mid-90s with high humidity that makes an unshaded screened space genuinely uncomfortable. Our all season rooms use insulated panels and connected climate control so the space is comfortable in July, not just in December.
Sunrise has a large number of single-family homes with pools and covered patios that are exposed to the afternoon storms that roll off the Everglades almost daily in summer. A properly framed screen enclosure keeps the rain, mosquitoes, and debris out while keeping the open feel that most homeowners here want around their pool or patio area.
Most of Sunrise's ranch-style homes were built with a covered but open back patio, and those spaces take a beating from UV exposure and summer rain when left unenclosed. Enclosing the patio creates a protected transition space that extends the home's usable area without the cost or complexity of a full room addition.
The ranch homes that make up most of Sunrise's housing stock were built on modest lots, and many are on the smaller side by today's standards. A sunroom addition is a practical way to add square footage to a concrete block home where a full room addition would require more excavation and structural work than the project justifies.
Homes near the western edge of Sunrise closer to the Everglades deal with stronger afternoon heat than eastern parts of the city, and a four season sunroom with full HVAC integration is the only option that stays genuinely comfortable year-round under those conditions. Insulated low-E glass keeps the solar heat gain manageable so the room does not overheat on a clear summer afternoon.
Sunrise's combination of high humidity, intense sun, and frequent afternoon rain is hard on any exterior material, and vinyl sunroom systems hold up better than wood or bare aluminum in this environment because they do not rot, corrode, or require repainting. For homeowners who want a low-maintenance addition that stays looking clean with minimal upkeep, vinyl framing is a strong choice in this climate.
Sunrise is a fully built-out western Broward County city where the housing stock dates mostly from the 1970s through the early 1990s. That means the vast majority of homes are now 30 to 50 years old, built with concrete block and stucco exteriors, low-pitched roofs, and modest lot sizes. At that age, existing patio covers, screen enclosures, and any prior sunroom additions are commonly at the end of their lifespan and need replacement rather than repair. The flat terrain here means that drainage planning around any new foundation is important - Broward County's high water table and the proximity of Sunrise's western neighborhoods to Everglades-adjacent drainage areas makes standing water after heavy rain a realistic concern if a sunroom slab is not graded correctly.
The code environment also requires specific knowledge. All work in Broward County falls under the Florida Building Code with High-Velocity Hurricane Zone wind-load requirements, and anchoring a sunroom to a CBS wall correctly requires fasteners and flashing details that differ from wood-frame construction. The City of Sunrise Building and Permitting Division runs its own plan review and inspection process, and a contractor who does not regularly pull permits here will encounter delays. Homeowners in Sunrise's condo and townhome communities face an additional step - HOA approval for exterior modifications is typically required before a permit application is even submitted.
Our crew works throughout Sunrise regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. We pull permits through the City of Sunrise Building and Permitting Division and are familiar with their plan review timelines and inspection requirements. The homes we work on most often here are single-story CBS ranches with tile or shingle roofs, covered back patios, and in many cases a pool - the standard Sunrise build from the city's primary growth years.
Sunrise is well-known for Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet malls in the country, and Amerant Bank Arena where the Florida Panthers play - both of which sit near the center of the city and serve as reference points most residents use. The neighborhoods north of Sunrise Boulevard and those near Markham Park tend to be quieter and more residential, while the Sawgrass Expressway corridor on the western side includes newer townhome and condo developments from the 1990s and 2000s. Homes closer to the Everglades edge of the city can sit near natural drainage areas, which affects our site planning.
We also regularly serve neighboring Lauderhill, FL to the east, where the CBS construction types and Broward County code environment are the same. Homeowners on the shared border between these two cities can expect the same crew, the same permit process, and the same quality regardless of which side of the line their home sits on.

(754) 243-8239Sunrise is a city of roughly 100,000 people in western Broward County, incorporated in 1961 and built out rapidly during the 1970s and 1980s as developers laid out large planned subdivisions across what had been flat agricultural land. The result is a fully built-out suburb of single-family concrete block ranch homes, townhomes, and condo communities, most dating from the city's primary growth decades. The city is bordered to the west by Everglades conservation land, giving it a distinct edge that no other Broward County city shares - homes near the western boundary sit closer to natural drainage and open land than most South Florida residents are used to. The city is also home to Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet and retail malls in the United States, and Amerant Bank Arena, where the Florida Panthers NHL team has played since 1998.
The housing stock in Sunrise reflects its growth era - low-pitched roofs, CBS construction, attached garages, and covered back patios are the norm throughout most neighborhoods. Approximately 60 percent of units are owner-occupied, making it a homeowner-majority city where property upkeep and improvement are common priorities. The neighborhoods near Markham Park in the north and those along Sunrise Boulevard tend to be quieter and more suburban in character, while areas near the Sawgrass Expressway include newer townhome and mixed-use developments. Neighboring Plantation, FL to the south has a similar housing mix and shares the same inland climate dynamics that drive demand for all season room additions in this part of Broward County.
