Advanced Kendall Deck & Fence serves Tamiami homeowners with screened-in porches, screen enclosures, covered patios, and fencing - all permitted through Miami-Dade County and built to HVHZ wind standards. We have been working throughout West Miami-Dade since 2018 and respond to every inquiry within one business day.
Tamiami sits on the edge of the Everglades, which means mosquito and no-see-um pressure here is among the highest in Miami-Dade County. A screened-in porch or screen deck enclosure gives Tamiami families a protected outdoor space that is genuinely usable all year - not just tolerable. Our screened-in porches and screened decks are engineered and permitted to Miami-Dade HVHZ standards so they hold up through storm season, not just fair weather.
Tamiami gets afternoon thunderstorms nearly every day from May through October, and an uncovered backyard patio becomes unusable the moment the sky opens up. A covered deck or patio cover turns that space into something you can actually use during storm season - the outdoor kitchen, the seating area, the kids' play space - protected from direct rain while keeping the air moving.
Most Tamiami homes sit on modest lots where privacy and security fencing are practical necessities rather than extras. Vinyl fencing is one of the most popular choices we install here because it does not rot, does not rust, and holds its look through years of South Florida humidity and UV exposure without requiring repainting or refinishing after every storm season.
Tamiami homeowners who have added pools to their properties deal with pool deck surfaces that face intense sun, chlorine, and foot traffic year-round. We build slip-resistant pool decks that stay comfortable underfoot in the South Florida heat and hold up against the water table issues common on Tamiami's flat, limestone-based terrain.
On properties near the Tamiami Trail corridor, where backyards often open onto fenced-in yards with little natural shade, a pergola provides the overhead relief that makes outdoor time comfortable. We build pergolas using materials suited to Tamiami's constant humidity and UV, anchored to meet Miami-Dade County wind requirements.
Homes built from the 1960s through the 1990s - which cover most of Tamiami's housing stock - often have outdoor wood structures that have been through decades of storm seasons. Flat or low-slope surfaces near Tamiami's high water table trap moisture underneath decking and speed up rot. We identify the full scope of damage before any work starts and give you an honest assessment of what needs fixing and what does not.
Tamiami is an unincorporated community in Miami-Dade County with a population of roughly 55,000 people. The housing stock runs mostly from the 1960s through the 1990s - concrete block construction, one and two stories, with small to medium fenced lots. Because Tamiami has no city government of its own, all permits, inspections, and code enforcement run through Miami-Dade County. That means any deck, screen enclosure, or covered patio project here must meet Miami-Dade's High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, which are stricter than what many other Florida counties require. A contractor who does not know those specific county standards can produce permitted drawings that fail inspection, which delays the project for weeks.
The location itself creates conditions that affect outdoor structures in ways that are specific to this end of Miami-Dade. Tamiami borders Everglades National Park to the west, and the proximity to that wetland environment means consistently higher humidity levels and insect pressure than neighborhoods farther east. The terrain is extremely flat, with a water table that sits close to the surface, and after a heavy rain - which happens almost daily from May through October - water can pool around footings and under decking for hours. Structures that are not designed and drained properly for that environment develop problems that compound over time.
Our crew works throughout Tamiami regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck and outdoor structure work here. The properties we see most often are owner-occupied concrete block homes on modest lots, many of which have had screened patios or Florida rooms added on at some point over the years - sometimes with permits, sometimes without. When an existing unpermitted structure is part of a new project scope, we work through the process with Miami-Dade County Building and Permitting to get the situation resolved correctly rather than building over it.
The Tamiami Trail - US-41 - runs straight through the middle of the community and is the main reference point locals use for the whole area. Residential streets branch off on both sides of the trail, ranging from the properties near Tamiami Executive Airport to the neighborhoods closer to the Everglades boundary. We know this stretch of the county well, including how afternoon traffic on the trail affects delivery and staging on busy construction days.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Westchester to the east and Kendall to the southeast - both communities where the property types and Miami-Dade permit requirements are very similar to what we work with throughout Tamiami.
Call us or submit your project details through our contact form. We respond to every inquiry within one business day and schedule an on-site visit at a time that works with your schedule.
We visit your property, look at the site and any existing structures, and discuss your goals. You receive a detailed written estimate that separates materials, labor, and permit fees - so cost is clear from the start, with no surprises after you sign.
We submit all Miami-Dade County permit applications and track the approval process. Most residential permits for screened enclosures and covered patios in Tamiami take two to five weeks for county approval. We keep you updated at each stage.
Our crew completes the work according to the approved plans. We schedule the Miami-Dade County final inspection and do a walkthrough with you afterward to confirm everything is right before we close out the job.
We serve Tamiami and the surrounding West Miami-Dade communities. Free estimates, written quotes, and all permits handled for you.
(645) 300-7598Tamiami is an unincorporated community in the western portion of Miami-Dade County, taking its name from the historic Tamiami Trail (US-41) that runs through its center. The trail was built in the 1920s to connect Tampa to Miami across the Everglades, and today it remains the main commercial and geographic spine of the neighborhood. With a population of roughly 55,000 people, Tamiami is a sizable residential community made up primarily of Cuban and Latin American families, many of whom have owned their homes for two decades or more. The housing stock spans the 1960s through the 1990s, with a mix of one-story and two-story concrete block homes on modest fenced lots. The neighborhood's western edge borders Everglades National Park, giving Tamiami a geographic character that is unlike any other Miami-Dade community - and a moisture and humidity environment that affects outdoor home improvements in very specific ways.
Tamiami Executive Airport is a well-known local landmark in the southeast part of the community, and the streets around it represent a mix of residential and light commercial uses that are typical of this part of the county. Most residential blocks branch off the Tamiami Trail and are made up of quiet, owner-occupied streets. We also serve homeowners in nearby Homestead to the south and Westchester to the east, both communities with similar Miami-Dade County permit requirements and comparable housing stock.
