Right now, your outdoor space probably sits empty most of the year. Too hot in summer. Mosquitoes in spring and fall. Debris in your pool after every storm.
A lanai enclosure changes that. You get a screened outdoor living space that keeps bugs out, filters harsh sun, and protects your patio or pool area from leaves and wind-blown trash. No more choosing between sweating outside or staying inside.
Houston doesn’t have four seasons—it has hot summer, hotter summer, still summer, and Christmas. Your outdoor space should be built for that reality. When we design a custom lanai for your Brays Oaks home, we’re thinking about July afternoons and January evenings. Insulated options keep you cool when it matters. Screens let the breeze through without the bugs.
This isn’t about adding square footage. It’s about reclaiming the investment you’ve already made in your backyard.
We’ve been building outdoor living spaces since the 1970s. We’re one of the largest sunroom and screen enclosure manufacturers in the world, but you’ll work with a local Houston team that knows Brays Oaks.
We know what works here. The materials that hold up in Gulf Coast humidity. The screen types that handle our wind. The designs that make sense for homes built in the 70s and 80s—which describes most of your neighborhood.
You’re 15 minutes from downtown and 11 miles from Sugar Land. Your home is in one of Houston’s best-kept secrets—42 middle-income subdivisions with active HOAs and well-maintained properties. When we build a lanai enclosure for you, it’s going to match that standard. We’re licensed, insured, and we guarantee our work.
We start with a free in-home consultation. You’ll get a detailed estimate that includes all costs—no surprises later. Our design team looks at your existing space, talks through how you want to use it, and shows you material options that fit your home’s style.
Once you approve the design, we handle permits and scheduling. Our installation crews are trained specifically on Four Seasons products. They’re not general contractors trying to figure it out—they do this every day.
Most lanai projects take one to two weeks depending on size and complexity. We protect your landscaping during the build, clean up daily, and keep you updated on progress. When we’re done, you’ll have a screened outdoor room with proper drainage, integrated lighting if you want it, and a structure that’s built to last decades.
We don’t disappear after installation. If something needs adjustment or you have questions six months later, you call the same local team. That’s the difference between working with a national brand that has local accountability and hiring someone off Nextdoor.
Ready to get started?
Every lanai we build in Brays Oaks starts with your specific needs. Pool enclosure? Patio screening? Full outdoor living space with ceiling fans and electrical? We customize the design, but the quality stays consistent.
You’re getting commercial-grade aluminum framing that won’t rust or rot. Screen options range from standard insect mesh to heavy-duty pet-resistant material. If you want year-round climate control, we can integrate CONSERVAGLASS™ NXT—advanced glass with stay-clean technology and energy efficiency that actually makes a difference in July.
Here’s what matters for your neighborhood specifically: Brays Oaks residents care about home improvement and outdoor living. You’re already investing in landscaping, grilling setups, and pool maintenance. A lanai enclosure protects all of that while cutting down on the time you spend cleaning debris out of your pool or sweeping your patio after every windstorm.
We offer financing up to $125,000 with competitive rates. Most homeowners in your area are looking at projects between $15,000 and $40,000 depending on size and features. That’s a real number based on real projects we’ve completed in Southwest Houston.
The outdoor living market is growing because people finally figured out that adding usable space beats adding unused space. You don’t need another formal living room. You need a place where your family actually wants to hang out.
Most lanai projects in Brays Oaks run between $15,000 and $40,000. The range depends on size, materials, and features like electrical, lighting, or climate control glass.
A basic porch screening for a 12×16 patio might start around $12,000. A full pool enclosure with premium screens and integrated roof system could run $35,000 or more. If you want a year-round sunroom with insulated glass and HVAC connections, you’re looking at the higher end of that range.
We give you an upfront estimate during the free consultation. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when the project’s halfway done. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start. We also offer financing up to $125,000, so you’re not stuck waiting years to make this happen.
Yes, if it’s built right. Our screen enclosures use tight-weave mesh specifically designed to block mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and other insects that make Houston summers miserable.
The key is proper installation. Screens need to be tensioned correctly and sealed at every edge. Doors need to close flush with no gaps. We’ve been doing this for 50 years—we know where bugs find their way in, and we design around it.
You’ll still want to use your regular mosquito control methods for your yard, but inside your lanai enclosure, you’re protected. That means you can actually enjoy evenings outside without coating yourself in repellent or running inside every ten minutes. For families with kids or anyone who’s sensitive to bites, that’s a massive quality-of-life upgrade.
Most lanai projects take one to two weeks from start to finish. Smaller porch screening jobs might wrap up in a week. Larger pool enclosures or custom outdoor living spaces with electrical and specialty features can take closer to two weeks.
Weather can add a day or two—we’re not working in heavy rain or high wind. Permit approval times vary by jurisdiction, but we handle that process for you before installation starts.
During the build, our crew shows up on schedule, works a full day, and cleans up before they leave. We’re not bouncing between three other jobs. When we start your project, we finish it. You won’t be left with a half-built structure sitting in your backyard for weeks while we’re off doing something else.
Yes, most lanai enclosures and patio construction projects in Houston require a permit. The exact requirements depend on the size and type of structure, but anything attached to your home or covering a significant area typically needs approval.
We handle the permit process as part of our service. You’re not filling out forms or making trips to the permit office. We submit the plans, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets local building codes.
This matters more than people realize. An unpermitted structure can cause problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. Inspectors know what to look for, and buyers’ agents will ask questions. Working with a licensed contractor who pulls proper permits protects your investment and keeps you out of trouble down the road.
Yes. Outdoor living space is one of the top features buyers look for, especially in Houston where you can use it year-round. A well-built lanai enclosure adds functional square footage without the cost of a full room addition.
In Brays Oaks specifically, where the median home price is around $225,000, a $20,000 to $30,000 lanai project can return 60% to 80% of its cost at resale. But the real value is in how it makes your home more livable right now. You’re not just adding resale appeal—you’re creating a space your family will actually use.
Buyers also see lower maintenance costs. A pool enclosure means less cleaning, fewer chemicals, and less wear on equipment. A screened patio means less outdoor furniture replacement. These aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re practical upgrades that make homeownership easier.
The terms get used interchangeably, but technically a lanai is a covered outdoor space, usually attached to the back of a house, that’s partially or fully screened. A screened porch is similar but typically refers to a front porch enclosure.
In practice, when you’re talking to a contractor in Houston, both terms usually mean the same thing: a screened outdoor living area that keeps bugs out while letting air flow through. Some lanais include solid roofs. Others use screen roof panels. Some have concrete floors, others use existing patio pavers or decking.
What matters more than the name is how you’re going to use the space. If you want to screen in an existing covered patio, that’s straightforward. If you’re building from scratch and need a roof structure, electrical, and finished flooring, that’s a bigger project. During your free consultation, we’ll talk through exactly what you’re looking for and design the right solution—whatever you want to call it.
