North Lauderdale Deck & Fence has been building outdoor kitchen decks, pool decks, pergolas, composite decks, screened enclosures, and fences for Sunrise homeowners since 2018. Every project is fully permitted through the City of Sunrise Building Division and built to Broward County wind-load requirements. We reply to every estimate request within one business day.
Sunrise has about 100,000 residents living in neighborhoods where single-family homes with rear yards are the norm, and many of those yards sit on larger lots than what you find closer to the coast - that extra space is ideal for an outdoor kitchen deck that functions as a genuine second cooking and entertaining area. See how we design and build outdoor kitchen decks for South Florida homes.
Screen enclosures and in-ground pools are extremely common in Sunrise's single-family neighborhoods, and many of the original pool decks from the 1970s and 1980s are now cracked, settled, and showing the wear that comes from decades of South Florida sun and summer rain. We build replacement pool decks with slip-resistant finishes and drainage slopes designed for Sunrise's flat lots, where standing water after a storm is a genuine concern.
The western edge of Sunrise borders the Everglades, and mosquito pressure in this part of Broward County is real, particularly in the months after summer rains leave standing water in yards. A screened enclosure makes an outdoor porch or deck genuinely usable through the hottest and most insect-heavy months and is one of the most practical upgrades for a Sunrise home with rear outdoor space.
Many Sunrise homes from the 1970s and 1980s have large rear yards that were left as open grass with no shade structure - which makes them nearly unusable in the afternoon from May through October. A pergola creates a defined shaded area without fully enclosing the space, and when paired with a ceiling fan and weather-resistant shade cloth, it dramatically extends the hours a Sunrise backyard can be used comfortably.
Sunrise receives heavy afternoon thunderstorms from June through September, and the high humidity between storms keeps wood decking wet long enough to accelerate rot and splitting at fastener points. Composite decking does not absorb moisture, holds up under the UV intensity common in western Broward County, and requires significantly less maintenance than pressure-treated wood through a full South Florida hurricane season.
Sunrise homeowners in HOA communities frequently need fence replacements that match existing neighborhood standards. Vinyl fencing is one of the most commonly approved materials in Broward County HOA communities because it holds its appearance without periodic painting, does not rust at fastener points, and withstands the wind loads associated with tropical storms when installed with the correct post depth and concrete footing.
Most homes in Sunrise were built between the early 1970s and the early 1990s, which puts the majority of the housing stock at 30 to 55 years old today. Ranch-style CBS (concrete block and stucco) construction is the standard - single-story homes with attached garages, covered patios, and private yards on lots that are modest but functional for outdoor living. At this age, original pool decks, screen enclosures, and wood fencing are commonly at or past their expected service life. A contractor who works regularly in Sunrise understands both the construction methods used in these homes and what current Broward County code requires for new or replacement outdoor structures.
Sunrise sits on exceptionally flat, low-lying land - the city borders the Everglades on its western edge and sits just a few feet above sea level across most of its footprint. The water table is high, drainage is slow after heavy rain, and standing water in yards after a summer storm is common. These soil and drainage conditions affect footing placement for decks, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas - structures placed on this kind of ground need footings engineered for local soil bearing capacity, not just standard depth. Sunrise also sits in a high-wind-speed design zone under Broward County building code, meaning every outdoor structure must be built to handle hurricane-force wind exposure. For information on permit requirements, the City of Sunrise Building Division handles residential construction permits.
Our crew works throughout Sunrise regularly and pulls permits directly through the City of Sunrise Building Division for every residential project we take on in the city. We are familiar with the permit review process here and the documentation requirements for outdoor structures in a high-wind design zone - including the wind-load calculations that the city requires for pergolas, shade structures, and larger decks. Homeowners do not need to hire a separate engineer for a typical residential project; we prepare the required engineering documentation as part of our standard permit package.
Sunrise is laid out along several major corridors - Sunrise Boulevard, Commercial Boulevard, and Oakland Park Boulevard cut across the city from east to west, while University Drive and Nob Hill Road run north to south. Most of the residential neighborhoods are built into the blocks between those roads. Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet malls in the country, sits in the eastern part of the city and is the landmark most people outside Sunrise use to place it on a map. Amerant Bank Arena, where the Florida Panthers play, is another major reference point near the center of the city. Markham Park, a large Broward County park with camping and trails, sits along the western edge near the Everglades boundary. We have worked on homes in neighborhoods throughout all of these areas.
We also serve neighboring Plantation to the southeast and Tamarac to the north, so if your property straddles a city boundary or you have family in an adjacent neighborhood, we can handle projects on both sides.
Reach us by phone at (754) 294-8977 or submit a request through our contact form. We reply to every inquiry from Sunrise homeowners within one business day and can usually schedule an on-site visit within the same week.
We visit the property to measure the space, assess site conditions - including lot drainage and soil type, which affect footing design on Sunrise lots - and review any HOA or permit requirements. You receive a written quote with a full cost and material breakdown before we ask you to commit to anything.
We handle the full permit application through the City of Sunrise Building Division. Once the permit is approved - typically within one to two weeks for standard residential work - our crew begins construction. You do not need to be present for every day of work, though we keep you updated throughout the build.
After construction is complete, we schedule the city inspection and walk you through the finished project. We do not consider the job done until the permit is closed and you are satisfied with the work.
We serve Sunrise homeowners with free on-site estimates, full permit handling through the City of Sunrise, and no-pressure quotes. Call or submit a request today.
(754) 294-8977Sunrise is a city of roughly 100,000 people in western Broward County, incorporated in 1961 and built out quickly through the 1970s and 1980s as developers constructed large planned subdivisions across the flat terrain between Fort Lauderdale and the Everglades. Today it is a fully built-out suburb with a mix of single-family ranch-style homes, condo communities, and townhome developments - most of them built on concrete block with stucco exteriors and modest private yards. The housing stock is predominantly owner-occupied, with median home values in the $340,000-$360,000 range. For more on the history and character of Sunrise, its Wikipedia article covers the city's development in detail.
The most recognizable landmark in Sunrise is Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet and retail malls in the United States, with more than 350 stores drawing millions of visitors annually. Amerant Bank Arena - where the Florida Panthers NHL team plays - sits near the intersection of Sunrise Boulevard and the western residential neighborhoods and has been a fixture of the city since 1998. Markham Park, on the western edge near the Everglades boundary, is one of the most popular outdoor spaces for residents. Nearby Plantation borders Sunrise to the south, and Lauderhill sits to the east - we serve homeowners across all three cities.
