Lanai & Screen Enclosures Tampa

Make more of the space just outside your door.

Morning coffee, a relaxed dinner, or a comfortable place to unwind—a thoughtfully planned lanai or screened outdoor area can help you enjoy more of your home.

Mr Home Guy helps Tampa homeowners take the next step on lanai and screen enclosure projects by coordinating with our specialty partner. Share your space, your ideas, and what you want to improve. Let’s talk about an outdoor area that fits the way you live.

Request Your Free Lanai & Screen Quote

No payment required to submit your request. Specialty enclosure work is reviewed, quoted, and performed by the appropriate provider identified in your proposal.

Start with how you want to use your outdoor space

You may already have a covered lanai that feels unfinished, an open patio you would like screened, or an existing enclosure you want to update. Start with the experience you want: room for dining, a quiet seating area, or a more useful connection between the house and backyard.

We can discuss your goals and coordinate the next step with our screen enclosure partner. Existing structures, dimensions, access, and the proposed type of work help determine the appropriate project review.

Lanai and enclosure projects to discuss

Screening an existing covered lanai

Explore whether your covered outdoor area is suitable for a screened enclosure. The specialty provider will review the openings, existing structure, attachment conditions, and access needs.

Patio screen enclosures

Tell us about the patio you want to enclose and how you plan to use it. The proposed design depends on the site, supporting surfaces, dimensions, and project requirements.

Existing enclosure updates

Share photos of your current enclosure and describe what you want to change. The partner’s review will help establish whether the project involves screen replacement, selected components, or a broader structural update.

Screen doors & everyday access

Consider how you move between the house, lanai, and yard. Door placement, furniture arrangement, and access for routine maintenance should be discussed during planning.

Pool-area enclosure projects

Planning changes around a pool? Share the full outdoor layout so enclosure work can be reviewed alongside the pool, deck, access points, and other planned improvements.

A coordinated outdoor refresh

Bring enclosure plans together with suitable patio, paver, and finishing projects. Identify the providers responsible for each part of the work and review the sequence before installation begins.

Screening, a new enclosure, or a larger renovation?

Different outdoor projects can look similar in a photograph but involve very different work. Adding screens within an existing covered opening is different from building a new structural enclosure or changing an existing roof arrangement.

When requesting a quote, explain what already exists and what you want to add. Include wide views showing the house, roofline, patio surface, and surrounding yard.

The specialty provider’s review should establish the proposed system, structural work, supporting surfaces, and any additional design or approval needs. Your proposal should identify those responsibilities clearly.

Plan the details that make the space comfortable

Think beyond the outline of the enclosure. A useful outdoor space needs to accommodate furniture, circulation, views, and the way you enter and leave the area.

Furniture layout: Consider the space needed around tables, chairs, and seating groups.
Door locations: Discuss access to the yard, pool area, and other outdoor features.
Screen preferences: Ask the provider about suitable screen options and their effect on views, airflow, and maintenance.
Existing conditions: Share concerns about the patio surface, drainage, nearby landscaping, or current enclosure.
Future improvements: Mention planned pavers, pool work, lighting, or other changes before the enclosure scope is finalized.

Any electrical additions or other regulated specialty work should be identified separately and assigned to appropriately licensed providers.

What affects the cost of a lanai or screen enclosure project?

The quote depends on what is already in place, what you want to build or change, and the requirements of the proposed enclosure.

Project type: Screening existing openings differs from a new enclosure or structural replacement.
Dimensions and design: The size, height, configuration, and door arrangement influence the scope.
Existing structure and surfaces: Attachment conditions and supporting areas need to be reviewed.
Materials and components: Frame, screen, door, and finish selections affect the proposal.
Removal and access: Existing enclosure removal, property access, and nearby features can affect logistics.
Design and approvals: Applicable engineering, permits, and association requirements should be addressed in the project plan.

Send approximate dimensions if available, along with photos and a description of your priorities. Final measurements and project requirements are confirmed by the responsible provider.

Know who is responsible for each part of the work

Our role begins with understanding your request and coordinating the appropriate next step. Specialty enclosure work is quoted and performed under the applicable provider’s credentials.

Before proceeding, your proposal should identify the contracting company, included work, materials, exclusions, payment terms, and responsibilities for any required design, permits, or inspections.

If the project involves multiple providers—for example, enclosure work and paver installation—confirm the order of work and how the separate scopes meet. Timing depends on the agreed design, selections, site conditions, availability, and applicable approvals.

Requesting your outdoor project quote is simple

Show us the space. Send wide photos of the lanai or patio and close-ups of the areas you want to change.
Describe your goals. Include your address, approximate dimensions if known, preferred timing, and any related outdoor projects.
Review the next step. We’ll discuss your request and coordinate an appropriate project review with our specialty partner.

Standard quote requests are free. Any preferred appointment time submitted online is subject to confirmation.

Lanai and screen enclosure questions

Can my existing covered lanai be screened?

It may be suitable. The specialty provider needs to review the existing structure, openings, supporting surfaces, and proposed design before confirming the approach.

Do you review existing enclosures as well as new projects?

Yes. Share photos of the current enclosure and describe the changes you want. We can coordinate a review to establish the appropriate scope and provider.

Who performs the screen enclosure work?

Specialty enclosure work is quoted and performed by the applicable provider under that provider’s credentials. Your proposal should identify the company responsible for the work.

Will my project need permits or engineering?

That depends on the project type, design, existing structure, and property jurisdiction. The responsible specialty provider should confirm applicable requirements and identify those responsibilities in the proposal.

Should I contact my homeowners association first?

Check whether your community requires approval for exterior changes. Share any design restrictions or application requirements with the provider before the project is finalized.

Can enclosure work be coordinated with pavers or pool improvements?

Yes. Tell us about all planned work at the beginning. The providers need to review their separate scopes, the sequence, and any shared design or access requirements.

Is the initial quote request free?

Yes. Standard quote requests are free. Submit your photos and project details, and we’ll contact you about the next step. The request does not establish a final price or confirm a project start date.

Let’s make more of your outdoor space.

Share your lanai, patio, or enclosure photos and tell us how you want to enjoy the space. We’ll help coordinate the next step.
