You know the drill. March hits and the mosquitoes show up. By May, it’s too hot to sit outside past 9 a.m. Summer storms roll through and drench your patio furniture. You’ve got this outdoor space you’re barely using eight months out of the year.
A properly built lanai enclosure changes that. You get the breeze, the natural light, and the view without the bugs, the brutal sun, or the constant cleanup after every storm. It’s not about adding square footage for the sake of it—it’s about reclaiming space you already have but can’t enjoy.
Houston’s climate doesn’t let up. The humidity sticks around year-round, and mosquitoes breed in standing water from April through November. A screened lanai keeps them out while letting air flow through. You’re not sealed in a box, and you’re not getting eaten alive every time you step outside.
And if you’re thinking about resale value, outdoor living space that actually works in this climate is something buyers notice. It’s functional square footage that doesn’t require a full HVAC overhaul or a five-figure room addition.
We’ve been building outdoor living spaces since the 1970s. We’re not new to this, and we’re not figuring it out as we go. We’ve seen what works in Houston’s climate and what doesn’t.
Sharpstown homeowners deal with the same issues across the board: heat, humidity, bugs, and unpredictable weather. You need an outdoor structure that holds up to all of it without constant maintenance or repairs. That’s what we build.
We’re a family-owned operation, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time. No shortcuts, no cheap materials, and no surprises halfway through the project. You’ll work with people who know what they’re talking about because we’ve done it thousands of times before.
First, we come out to your property and take a look at what you’re working with. We measure the space, talk through what you’re trying to accomplish, and go over the options that make sense for your home and your budget. No pressure, no upselling—just a straightforward conversation about what’s possible.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we design the lanai enclosure to fit your space. That includes choosing materials, screen type, roof style, and any add-ons like ceiling fans or lighting. We handle the permits and make sure everything meets local building codes in Sharpstown.
Installation typically takes a few weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project. Our crew shows up on time, does the work, and cleans up at the end of each day. You’re not dealing with a construction zone that drags on for months.
When it’s done, you’ve got a finished outdoor living space that’s ready to use. We walk you through everything, answer any questions, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we consider the job finished. That’s it—no lingering punch lists or callbacks to fix things that should’ve been done right the first time.

A custom lanai isn’t one-size-fits-all. You’re choosing the frame material—aluminum, vinyl, or wood depending on your home’s style and your maintenance preferences. You’re picking the screening that works for your needs, whether that’s standard insect mesh or something heavier-duty for storm protection.
The roof matters too. Some homeowners want a solid roof for full shade and rain protection. Others prefer a screen roof to keep the open-air feel while still blocking bugs. We’ll talk through what makes sense based on how you plan to use the space and what kind of weather exposure your property gets.
In Sharpstown, most homeowners are dealing with mosquitoes, heat, and afternoon storms. That means you want good airflow, solid screening, and a structure that doesn’t turn into a sauna by noon. We use materials that reflect heat and allow ventilation, so you’re not just moving the problem indoors.
If you want to add ceiling fans, recessed lighting, or electrical outlets, we handle that during the build. Same goes for integrating the lanai with your existing patio or deck. The goal is a finished space that looks like it was always part of your home, not an afterthought tacked on later.
It depends on size, materials, and what features you want included. A basic screen enclosure for a standard patio runs differently than a fully custom lanai with a solid roof, electrical, and premium materials.
We offer free consultations and estimates, so you’ll know exactly what you’re looking at before any work starts. We also have financing options up to $125,000 with competitive rates if you’d rather spread the cost out over time instead of paying everything upfront.
The bigger question is what you’re getting for that investment. A well-built lanai adds usable square footage to your home, increases property value, and gives you outdoor space you’ll actually use year-round. Compare that to the cost of a full room addition or the ongoing expense of replacing patio furniture that gets destroyed by weather and sun exposure every few years.
Most lanai installations take two to four weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity of the project. That includes permitting, site prep, construction, and final walkthrough.
We’re not going to leave your backyard torn up for months. Our crews work efficiently, show up when they say they will, and keep the job site clean. You’ll have a clear timeline before we start, and we stick to it unless weather or something outside our control causes a delay.
If you’re planning around a specific event or season, let us know upfront. We’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule, but the reality is that Houston weather can occasionally slow things down. That said, we’ve been doing this long enough to build in buffer time and keep projects moving even when conditions aren’t perfect.
Yes, if it’s built correctly. The screening needs to be tight, properly installed, and free of gaps where bugs can get through. That’s where experience matters—cheap installations often have gaps around doors, corners, or where the screen meets the frame.
We use high-quality screening materials and install them the right way. That means no loose edges, no gaps, and doors that seal properly when closed. You’ll still need to be smart about keeping doors closed and not leaving standing water around your property, but the structure itself will keep mosquitoes and other insects out.
Houston’s mosquito season runs nearly year-round thanks to the heat and humidity. A screened lanai gives you a space where you can sit outside in the evening without getting swarmed. It’s one of the main reasons Sharpstown homeowners add these enclosures in the first place—you get the outdoor experience without the constant battle against bugs.
Yes. Any permanent structure attached to your home requires a permit in Sharpstown and throughout the Houston area. That includes lanais, screen enclosures, patio covers, and similar outdoor additions.
We handle the permitting process for you. That means pulling the necessary permits, making sure the design meets local building codes, and coordinating inspections. You don’t have to deal with the paperwork or figure out what’s required—we’ve done this enough times to know exactly what the city needs.
Skipping permits might seem like a way to save money or speed things up, but it creates problems down the road. Unpermitted work can cause issues when you sell your home, and it leaves you liable if something goes wrong. It’s not worth the risk, and it’s not how we operate.
A lanai is typically a screened outdoor structure that’s open to the elements but protected from bugs and debris. A sunroom is a fully enclosed, climate-controlled space with windows and insulation that functions more like an indoor room.
Lanais are better for Houston’s climate if you want airflow and an outdoor feel without the cost of adding HVAC. They’re less expensive to build, faster to install, and don’t require the same level of insulation or climate control. You’re still outside, just protected.
Sunrooms make sense if you want year-round temperature control and a space that feels like an extension of your indoor living area. They cost more and take longer to build, but they give you a fully conditioned room with glass walls. Both have their place—it just depends on how you want to use the space and what your budget looks like.
Yes. We’re building a custom structure, so it’s designed to fit your home’s architecture and your preferences. That includes frame materials, roof style, color, and how it integrates with your existing patio or deck.
If your home has a specific look—whether that’s traditional, modern, or something in between—we’ll design the lanai to complement it. The goal is a finished product that looks like it was always part of the house, not something that was added later and doesn’t quite match.
We’ll go over all the options during the consultation. You’ll see material samples, discuss design choices, and get a clear picture of what the finished lanai will look like before we start building. No guessing, no surprises—just a straightforward process that results in an outdoor space that fits your home and works the way you need it to.
