Hear From Our Clients
You’ve got the yard. You’ve got the patio furniture. What you don’t have is a way to enjoy either without getting eaten alive or melting in the heat.
Houston summers last basically all year. And when you do get a break from the heat, the mosquitoes show up. Your outdoor space sits empty most of the time, which means you’re not getting much return on that investment.
A properly built lanai enclosure changes that. You get screened porch screening that keeps 85-90% of pests out for weeks at a time. You get shade from UV rays that won’t fade your furniture or burn your skin. And you get a space that’s comfortable enough to use in May, July, and October—not just the two weeks in spring when the weather cooperates.
The best part? It doesn’t require you to rebuild your entire patio. Most lanai construction works with what you already have. We’re talking about adding a structure that makes your outdoor living space functional, not starting from scratch.
We bring nearly five decades of experience to every custom lanai project in Jersey Village, TX. We’re not a general contractor trying to figure out porch screening on the fly—we manufacture the materials, design the structure, and install it ourselves.
That matters in a place like Jersey Village, where homes average over 2,600 square feet and homeowners expect quality work that lasts. You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for someone who understands how to build outdoor structures that hold up to Gulf Coast humidity, summer storms, and the occasional hurricane.
We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve completed thousands of lanai enclosures across the Houston area. Our team knows what works in this climate and what doesn’t. And because we handle everything in-house, you’re not dealing with a middleman who disappears after the deposit clears.
First, we come to your property in Jersey Village and look at what you’re working with. We measure the space, check the foundation, and talk through what you actually want to use this lanai for. Some people want a screened dining area. Others want a second living room that doesn’t require air conditioning.
Once we know what you need, we design a custom lanai enclosure that fits your home’s layout and your budget. We’re not pulling a design off the shelf—we’re building something that works with your existing patio, roof line, and outdoor living space.
Then we handle the permits, order the materials, and schedule the installation. Most lanai projects take a few weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. We use modular components that keep construction time short and costs predictable.
During installation, you’ll see the frame go up first, followed by the screening, roof panels, and any additional features like ceiling fans or lighting. We clean up as we go, and we don’t leave until the job’s done right. You get a final walkthrough to make sure everything works the way it should.

Every lanai enclosure we build in Jersey Village includes materials designed specifically for the Gulf Coast climate. That means aluminum or vinyl framing that won’t rot in humidity, screening that blocks pests without blocking airflow, and roof panels that provide shade while standing up to wind and rain.
We use CONSERVAGLASS™ NXT on projects that need extra protection—it’s 5/8 inch thick and rated for Category 5 hurricanes. It also blocks harmful UV rays and reduces heat transfer, which keeps your lanai cooler without running up your energy bill. The glass has a stay-clean coating, so you’re not out there scrubbing it down every month.
You also get options. Want a fully enclosed patio construction with insulated walls for year-round use? We can do that. Prefer a simple screened structure that lets the breeze through? That works too. Need ceiling fans, recessed lighting, or electrical outlets? All available.
Jersey Village homeowners are investing in outdoor living spaces that actually add value to their property. According to the National Association of Realtors, landscaping and outdoor upgrades can return 100% of your investment. And 98% of real estate experts agree that an updated outdoor space has a big impact on home value. You’re not just building a lanai—you’re making your home more livable and more valuable at the same time.
Most custom lanai projects in Jersey Village run between $15,000 and $40,000, depending on size, materials, and features. A basic screened enclosure on an existing patio will cost less than a fully insulated four-season room with hurricane-rated glass.
The price depends on what you’re starting with and what you want to end up with. If you’ve already got a covered patio with a solid foundation, you’re mostly paying for framing and screening. If you need a new roof structure, electrical work, or premium materials like CONSERVAGLASS™ NXT, the cost goes up.
We offer financing up to $125,000 with competitive rates, so you’re not stuck paying everything upfront. And because we manufacture our own materials, we can keep costs lower than custom-built alternatives that rely on third-party suppliers. You’re getting a better product for less money, and you’re not waiting months for materials to show up.
Yes, if it’s built right. A properly installed lanai with quality screening blocks 85-90% of mosquitoes and other pests for 14-21 days at a time. That’s a huge difference compared to sitting on an open patio where you’re swatting bugs every five minutes.
Houston’s heat and humidity create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, which is why they’re such a problem here. Diseases from mosquitoes are never more than 24 hours away, and professional mosquito control services can only do so much. A screened lanai gives you a physical barrier that works around the clock without chemicals or constant maintenance.
The key is using the right screening material and making sure there are no gaps in the installation. We use commercial-grade screening that’s designed for Gulf Coast climates—it won’t tear in the wind, sag in the heat, or let pests squeeze through. And because we handle the installation ourselves, we make sure every seam is sealed and every frame is tight.
Most lanai construction projects take between two and four weeks from the day we start to the day you can use it. That includes permitting, material delivery, and installation. Larger or more complex projects might take a bit longer, but we’re not talking about months of construction.
We use modular components that are pre-manufactured to your specifications, which cuts down on build time significantly. Instead of custom-building every piece on site, we’re assembling high-quality materials that fit together efficiently. That means less time with construction crews in your yard and less disruption to your daily routine.
Weather can affect the timeline—if we get a week of heavy rain, we’re not going to rush through the roof installation just to meet a deadline. But we communicate clearly throughout the process, so you always know where things stand. And we don’t leave your backyard half-finished for weeks while we wait on materials or move to another job.
If you use the right materials, absolutely. Our CONSERVAGLASS™ NXT panels are rated for Category 5 hurricanes, which means they’re tested to withstand winds over 157 mph. That’s more than enough for anything Jersey Village is likely to see.
Standard screening won’t hold up to hurricane conditions—it’s designed for everyday use, not extreme weather. But if you’re building a lanai in the Houston area, you need to plan for the possibility of serious storms. That’s why we offer options that go beyond basic screening, including impact-resistant glass and reinforced aluminum framing.
The structure itself also matters. A lanai that’s properly anchored to your home’s foundation and built with wind load calculations in mind will perform much better than something slapped together without engineering. We pull permits, follow local building codes, and design every project to meet or exceed Texas wind requirements. You’re not just getting a screened porch—you’re getting a structure that’s built to last.
Yes, most lanai construction projects in Jersey Village require a building permit, especially if you’re adding a roof structure or making changes to your home’s exterior. The permitting process ensures that your lanai meets local building codes and safety standards.
We handle the permits as part of our service, so you’re not stuck navigating city requirements on your own. That includes submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and making sure everything is approved before we start construction. It adds a little time to the front end of the project, but it protects you from code violations or issues when you go to sell your home.
Some homeowners try to skip the permit process to save money or time, but that’s a mistake. An unpermitted structure can cause problems with insurance claims, property taxes, and resale value. And if the city finds out, you could be forced to tear it down or pay fines. It’s not worth the risk, especially when working with a contractor who handles permits as part of the job.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but a lanai typically refers to a covered outdoor living space that’s attached to the house and partially or fully enclosed with screens or glass. A screened porch is usually just a porch with screening added—it might not have a solid roof or walls.
In practice, the difference doesn’t matter much. What matters is how you’re going to use the space. If you want a room that feels like an extension of your home and can be used year-round, you’re looking at a more enclosed lanai with insulated walls and glass panels. If you just want to keep bugs out while you’re grilling or reading on a nice day, a simple screened porch works fine.
We build both, and we help you figure out which option makes sense for your property and budget. Some Jersey Village homeowners start with a basic screened enclosure and upgrade to a four-season room later. Others go all-in from the start because they know they’ll use it constantly. There’s no wrong answer—it just depends on what you need and how much you want to invest in your outdoor living space.
