Two kinds of Miramar homes
Miramar grew from east to west. The eastern part of the city, closer to Hollywood and State Road 7, has older single-family homes on traditional lots, many built in the 1960s and 1970s. West of I-75 you find planned communities from the 1990s and 2000s, such as Silver Shores, Monarch Lakes and Sunset Lakes, where most homes belong to an HOA.
That split shapes every project. On older lots, the questions are usually about the existing structure: roof connections for an attached pergola, old drainage, and whether the electrical panel can take an outdoor kitchen or an ADU. In the HOA communities, the first step is often the architectural review: many associations set rules on pergola colors and materials, fence lines, and what can be seen from the street.
ADUs in Miramar
Families in Miramar often want space for parents or adult children close by. Whether a detached ADU is allowed, how large it can be, and whether it can be rented depends on your zoning district and the City of Miramar's current code, so we confirm that before design. Where a detached unit is not allowed, an attached addition or a garage conversion is often the alternative.
Pergolas, kitchens and pool decks
Western Miramar lots tend to have screened pools and compact backyards, so the work is about using the space well: a freestanding aluminum pergola beside the pool, a compact grill island, a pool deck resurfaced in pavers. Like all of Broward County, Miramar is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so pergolas and roofs need engineered footings and approved products.
