Outdoor Living
Screen rooms, lanais and outdoor kitchens
Florida living happens out back. Make it a room you use all year.
Most homes here have a lanai or a slab out back that never gets used because it is too hot, too buggy or too dated. A screen room, a solid roof or a simple outdoor kitchen changes that.
We plan around sun direction, drainage and wind exposure, which matters more near the Gulf in Hudson and Hernando Beach.

FAQ
Outdoor Living questions
Do I need a permit for a screen room?+
Usually, since it is a structure attached to the home. Wind load requirements apply in Florida, and we pull permits where they are required.
What is the best countertop for an outdoor kitchen in Florida?+
Materials that handle UV and heat. We go through options at the estimate based on sun exposure.
How does a screen room handle Florida storms?+
It has to be engineered for local wind loads, and the permit drawings show how it attaches to your house and slab. We build to the approved plans.
Can you build an outdoor kitchen under an existing lanai?+
Usually. We check ventilation, gas or electric runs and the roof structure overhead before placing a grill or cooktop there.
Do outdoor projects need HOA approval?+
In most deed-restricted communities, yes, because they change how the home looks from outside. We provide the drawings and material specs your board asks for.
What happens to my yard during construction?+
We plan an access path, protect what we can and clean up as we go. Any landscaping repair outside the work area is discussed in the estimate.
