You didn’t buy a home on Galveston Bay to spend half the year trapped indoors. But Houston’s mosquitoes make evenings outside miserable from May through October. The humidity turns your patio furniture into a science experiment. And every time the forecast shows storms rolling in from the Gulf, you’re scrambling to move everything under cover.
A properly built lanai enclosure changes that. You get the breeze, the view, and the space—without the bugs chewing on you or the weather dictating your plans. Your outdoor furniture stays clean. Your family actually uses the space. And when you’re ready to sell, buyers see finished square footage that works year-round, not a seasonal patio that sits empty most months.
This isn’t about adding decoration to your house. It’s about reclaiming space you’re already paying property taxes on and turning it into something you’ll actually use.
We’ve spent nearly 50 years figuring out how to build outdoor rooms that hold up in climates like Houston’s. We’re not experimenting with your project. We know what materials work when you’re dealing with 90% humidity, what kind of screening keeps out mosquitoes without blocking airflow, and how to engineer structures that won’t rattle apart during storm season.
Morgan’s Point homeowners have specific needs—waterfront views worth protecting, high-value properties that demand quality work, and weather conditions that destroy anything built cheaply. We handle the permits, work with your HOA if needed, and install everything ourselves. No subcontractors showing up who’ve never built a lanai before.
You’re making a significant investment in your home. We treat it that way.
We start with a consultation at your property. You show us the space, we talk about how you want to use it, and we take measurements. No pressure, no sales games—just a real conversation about whether a lanai enclosure makes sense for your situation and what it’ll cost.
If you decide to move forward, our design team creates plans specific to your home. We handle the permit applications and any HOA approvals you need. Once everything’s approved, we schedule installation around your timeline. Our crew shows up when we say we will, builds the structure according to the plans, and cleans up the site when we’re done.
After installation, you get warranty documentation and our contact information. If something needs attention down the road, you call us directly. We’ve been serving the Houston area long enough that we’ll still be here when you need us.

Every lanai we build in Morgan’s Point gets engineered for Gulf Coast conditions. That means screening systems designed to handle Houston’s wind without tearing, framing that won’t warp in the humidity, and materials rated for the temperature swings you get living this close to the water.
You’ll choose from aluminum, vinyl, or natural wood framing depending on your home’s architecture and your maintenance preferences. The screening itself blocks mosquitoes and other insects while maintaining visibility and airflow—you’re not sitting in a cave. We incorporate CONSERVAGLASS™ technology in roof panels where it makes sense, giving you energy efficiency and protection from UV damage without losing natural light.
For Morgan’s Point specifically, we pay attention to hurricane-grade construction standards. Your lanai enclosure needs to survive more than just regular use—it needs to hold up when severe weather moves through. We also account for the salt air coming off Galveston Bay, using materials and finishes that resist corrosion better than standard options.
The goal is creating outdoor living space that functions like an actual room, not a screened porch that’s only comfortable three months a year.
Pricing depends on the size of your space, the materials you select, and how much structural work is needed. A basic screen enclosure for an existing patio runs differently than a full custom lanai with climate control and premium finishes. Most Morgan’s Point projects fall somewhere in the middle—homeowners here typically want quality materials and thoughtful design, not the cheapest option available.
We provide detailed estimates after seeing your property and understanding what you’re trying to accomplish. That estimate includes materials, labor, permits, and warranty coverage. No hidden fees or surprise charges later.
The return on investment matters too. Outdoor living spaces in the Houston area typically return 70-80% of their cost when you sell, and in waterfront communities like Morgan’s Point, well-executed projects can return even more. You’re not just spending money—you’re adding functional square footage that buyers will pay for.
Yes, if it’s built correctly. The screening we use has a tight enough mesh to block mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and other small insects that make Houston summers miserable. But the screening alone isn’t enough—the entire enclosure needs to seal properly at every connection point, door, and threshold.
That’s where experience matters. We’ve built enough lanai enclosures in the Houston area to know where mosquitoes find their way in on poorly constructed projects. Every door gets weatherstripping. Every panel connection gets sealed. We don’t leave gaps at the roofline or foundation where insects can slip through.
You’ll still need to be smart about opening and closing doors—standing there with the door wide open defeats the purpose. But once you’re inside the enclosed space with everything sealed, the mosquitoes stay outside. That means you can actually enjoy your outdoor space during dawn and dusk when the bugs are worst, instead of being driven indoors.
Plan on 6-10 weeks total, though that varies based on permit timing and project complexity. The actual construction usually takes 1-2 weeks once we start. The rest of the timeline is design, permits, HOA approvals if applicable, and scheduling.
Morgan’s Point has specific permitting requirements, and if you’re in a neighborhood with an HOA, they’ll need to approve the plans too. We handle those submissions, but we can’t control how quickly the approvals come back. Most of the time everything moves smoothly, but occasionally there are delays on the administrative side.
Once permits are in hand and materials are staged, our installation crew works efficiently. We’re not bouncing between multiple job sites—when we start your project, we finish it. You’ll have some disruption to your outdoor space during construction, but we minimize the mess and clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly the actual build goes once we break ground.
Absolutely, and in Houston’s climate, it’s worth considering. A basic screen enclosure blocks bugs and provides some shade, but it doesn’t do much about the temperature. When it’s 95 degrees outside, it’s 95 degrees in your screened porch. That limits how much you’ll actually use the space during summer months.
Adding climate control means incorporating insulated roof panels, energy-efficient glass sections, and HVAC connections. This transforms your lanai from a three-season space into a true four-season room you can use year-round. You can run the AC in July and heat in January, making the space as comfortable as any room inside your house.
The cost difference is significant—climate-controlled enclosures run higher than basic screening. But for Morgan’s Point homeowners who want to maximize their waterfront property, it’s often the right call. You’re not just adding a bug-free porch, you’re adding legitimate living space that functions every single day of the year. That changes how you use your home and how buyers will value it when you eventually sell.
Less than you’d think, especially if you choose the right materials upfront. Aluminum and vinyl framing require almost no maintenance—occasional washing to remove salt residue and pollen is about it. Wood framing looks beautiful but needs periodic staining or sealing to protect against moisture and salt air, especially this close to Galveston Bay.
The screening itself is durable, but it’s not indestructible. You might need to patch or replace panels if something punctures them, though quality screening holds up well for years under normal use. We use materials specifically rated for coastal environments, which resist corrosion and UV damage better than standard options.
Your biggest maintenance task is keeping the space clean. Sweep regularly, hose down the screening a few times a year, and wipe down any glass panels. Check door seals and weatherstripping annually and replace them if they’re worn. Most Morgan’s Point homeowners find that a well-built lanai requires far less upkeep than maintaining an open patio—no constant furniture cleaning, no dealing with leaves and debris everywhere, and no repainting outdoor pieces that get destroyed by the elements.
Yes, and we handle that process for you. Any permanent structure addition to your home requires building permits in Morgan’s Point, and the requirements get more specific when you’re in a waterfront location. The permitting office wants to see engineered plans, verify that the structure meets wind load requirements for coastal areas, and confirm that everything complies with setback regulations.
If your property is part of an HOA, you’ll need their architectural approval before applying for permits. Some HOAs have strict guidelines about materials, colors, and design aesthetics. We’ve worked with most of the HOAs in the Morgan’s Point area and know what they typically require.
The permit and approval process adds time to your project timeline, but it protects you. Those requirements exist to ensure your lanai enclosure is built safely and won’t become a liability during severe weather. We submit complete, professional plans that meet all the technical requirements, which speeds up approvals and prevents the back-and-forth that happens when contractors submit incomplete applications. You’ll get copies of all approved permits, and inspections happen at the appropriate construction phases to keep everything legitimate and up to code.
