You stop planning your evenings around mosquito activity. Your kids can swim without you constantly spraying them down with repellent. Your pool stays cleaner because leaves, dirt, and debris aren’t blowing in every afternoon.
A lanai enclosure doesn’t just screen in your patio. It turns your outdoor space into a room you can actually use when you want to use it, not just when the weather cooperates and the bugs take a night off.
You’re not giving up sunlight or airflow. You’re getting rid of the things that make your backyard frustrating to enjoy. That means fewer chemicals in your pool, less time skimming and vacuuming, and no more running inside because something bit you. It also means your outdoor furniture lasts longer because it’s not taking the full beating from Houston sun and storms.
Four Seasons Sunrooms has been in the outdoor living business for over 50 years. We’re not new to Houston’s climate, and we’re not guessing about what holds up here. We know what works in Golfcrest and Bellfort because we’ve built hundreds of enclosures in neighborhoods just like yours.
Most homes in this area were built between the 1930s and 1970s. They’re single-story, ranch-style layouts with yards that were made for outdoor living. We design every lanai enclosure to fit your home’s architecture, not the other way around. That means custom measurements, materials that match your exterior, and installation that doesn’t leave you wondering if it was done right.
We’re locally operated, fully licensed, and we back our work with a lifetime limited warranty that covers peeling, cracking, and structural failure. You’re not dealing with a national call center or waiting weeks for a response. You’re working with a Houston-based team that shows up when we say we will.
We start with a free consultation at your home. You show us the space, tell us how you want to use it, and we take measurements. We’ll talk about screen types, roof options, and whether you want things like ceiling fans, lighting, or insulated panels for year-round comfort.
Once you approve the design, we pull permits and schedule installation. Most porch screening projects in the Golfcrest area take one to two weeks depending on size and complexity. We handle the framing, roofing, screening, and any electrical work if you’re adding lights or outlets.
During installation, you’ll have a dedicated project lead. They’ll walk you through what’s happening each day and address any concerns on the spot. When we’re done, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything works the way it should. Then we clean up, haul off materials, and leave you with a space that’s ready to use that same day.

Every lanai enclosure we build includes engineered aluminum framing that won’t rust, rot, or need painting. The screening is heavy-duty mesh designed to handle Houston wind and keep out even small insects. Your roof can be insulated panels, screen, or a combination depending on how much sun protection you want.
We integrate your enclosure with your existing patio or pool deck. That means matching the roofline, coordinating with gutters, and making sure water drains away from your foundation. If you’re enclosing a pool, we meet all local safety codes and can include self-closing gates if required.
You can add extras like recessed lighting, ceiling fans, or CONSERVAGLASS™ panels that block UV rays while keeping the space bright. We also offer sliding or hinged doors, removable screen panels for flexibility, and built-in gutters that tie into your home’s drainage system. Everything is custom-measured for your property, so you’re not dealing with gaps, sagging screens, or parts that don’t fit right. Homes in Golfcrest and Bellfort typically have larger lots with mature landscaping, which means we often work around trees, gardens, and existing hardscaping to preserve what you’ve already invested in your yard.
Most lanai projects in Golfcrest and Bellfort run between $15,000 and $40,000 depending on size, materials, and features. A basic screen enclosure for a standard patio starts around $15,000. If you’re enclosing a pool, adding insulated roof panels, or including electrical work, you’ll be closer to $25,000 to $40,000.
The price depends on square footage, the type of screening you choose, roof style, and whether you want things like ceiling fans, lighting, or glass panels. We give you a fixed-price quote after the consultation so there’s no guessing. That quote includes permits, materials, labor, and cleanup.
We offer financing up to $125,000 with competitive rates if you’d rather spread out payments. Most customers finance because it lets them get the full setup they want without waiting or compromising on features.
Yes, if it’s built right. We use fine-mesh screening that blocks mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and other small insects. The key is making sure there are no gaps where the screen meets the frame, roof, or foundation. That’s why custom measurement matters.
Houston mosquitoes are aggressive, especially near Sims Bayou and the greenbelt areas around Golfcrest. A properly installed lanai enclosure creates a sealed barrier that stops them from getting in while still allowing airflow. You’ll notice the difference immediately, especially in the evenings when mosquito activity peaks.
The screening also keeps out wasps, flies, and palmetto bugs without making the space feel closed in. You still get breeze and visibility. You just don’t get the bugs. If you have dogs or cats, they can be outside with you without getting eaten alive or bringing pests inside when they come back in.
A well-built lanai enclosure lasts 20 to 30 years or more in Houston. The aluminum framing we use is engineered to handle heat, humidity, and storms without corroding or warping. It won’t rot like wood, and it doesn’t need to be painted or sealed.
The screening itself typically lasts 10 to 15 years before it needs replacement, depending on sun exposure and wear. Replacing screens is straightforward and costs a fraction of the original installation. Roof panels, gutters, and structural components are built to last the life of the enclosure.
Houston weather is tough on outdoor structures. We design every enclosure specifically for this climate, which means proper drainage, wind-rated materials, and UV-resistant finishes. You’re not going to see peeling, flaking, or structural issues if it’s installed correctly. That’s why we back everything with a lifetime limited warranty that transfers if you sell your home.
Yes. Most of our projects in Golfcrest and Bellfort are enclosing existing patios and pool decks. We attach the new structure to your home’s exterior and build around your current concrete, pavers, or decking.
We’ll assess your existing setup during the consultation to make sure the foundation is solid and properly graded for drainage. If there are issues, we’ll tell you upfront. In most cases, we can work with what’s already there and tie the new enclosure into your roofline and gutters without major modifications.
If you have an older patio that’s cracked or uneven, we can discuss options for resurfacing or reinforcing it before we build. The goal is to give you a finished space that looks intentional and integrated, not like an add-on. We also coordinate with your landscaping so we’re not tearing up plants or disrupting drainage patterns in your yard.
Yes. Any permanent structure attached to your home requires a permit in Houston. That includes screen enclosures, patio covers, and lanai additions. We handle the permit process for you as part of the project.
We submit the plans, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets local building codes. That includes setback requirements, wind load ratings, and electrical codes if you’re adding lighting or outlets. You don’t have to deal with the city or worry about whether the work is compliant.
Skipping permits might seem like a shortcut, but it creates problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. Unpermitted work can also lead to fines and forced removal. We do it right from the start so you don’t have issues down the road.
The terms are mostly interchangeable, but a lanai typically refers to a covered outdoor space attached to the back of your home, often enclosing a patio or pool area. A screened porch usually describes an enclosed front or side porch.
Functionally, they’re the same thing: a structure with a roof, screening, and open airflow that keeps bugs out while letting you enjoy the outdoors. In Houston, most people use “lanai” when they’re talking about pool enclosures or large patio spaces in the backyard.
What matters more than the name is how the space is designed. You want proper ventilation, durable materials, and a layout that makes sense for how you’ll actually use it. Whether you call it a lanai, screen room, or patio enclosure, the goal is the same: a comfortable outdoor living space you can use year-round without fighting insects or weather.
