Lanais

Pombo's designs and builds custom lanais across Tampa Bay and surrounding communities, delivering comfort, protection, and year-round usability for Florida living.

A screened home extension

Lanais are a roofed, open-air space

When it comes to creating a breezy, shaded, and bug-free place to relax, a screened lanai always delivers.

At Pombo's we build and install custom lanai enclosures that let homeowners in Tampa Bay enjoy their backyards without the hassle of insects or the intense sun. Our family-run business has been designing and installing lanais since 2006, and every project is handled by a skilled in-house team. We use materials like Super Screen mesh, rust-resistant anchors, and durable aluminum frames that will last for many years.

What is a
screened lanai?

Your outdoor room for
relaxing, dining, or entertaining.

A lanai typically refers to a covered outdoor area, often attached to the back of a house, that offers shelter and shade. When screened, this space becomes an extension of your home, and it brings the outdoors in without the heat, bugs, or leaf litter.

A screened lanai might connect to your pool, border a patio, or wrap around the side of your house. Some are completely new builds with foundations and roofing, while others convert an existing covered patio or carport into a protected retreat. We design each project based on your house and what kind of lanai you want to create.

Lanai screening and design options

From framing to finishing, we build for you.

We start every lanai project with a walkthrough and consultation. Sometimes we'll start with sketches or inspiration photos, but other potential clients prefer to talk it through onsite. Either way, we work closely with you to choose the right layout, roof style, mesh material, and ceiling finish.

Most of our screened lanais are constructed using powder-coated aluminum frames. This allows for almost zero maintenance and better long-term durability in Florida's humidity. For the screening, we recommend Super Screen mesh, which holds up well in the sun and resists tears from pets, branches, and daily wear.

You can choose between several roof options, including insulated aluminum panels or traditional shingle-style roofs. We also offer wood grain aluminum ceilings. If your lanai needs a concrete slab, we can pour and finish that as part of your project. Every enclosure is drawn in 2D and 3D before construction begins, so you can approve the design and feel confident in the final result.

Benefits of a screened
lanai in Florida

Protection and shade year-round.

A properly designed lanai creates a functional outdoor space that you'll use all year, without battling the dreaded heat, humidity, or mosquitoes. Whether you want a simple 10×12 screen room or a full wraparound lanai with upgraded finishes, we'll build it on-site with care and attention.

Here's what you can expect with a screened lanai:

  • A comfortable spot for lounging or having friends over
  • A shaded place to grill, dine, or watch kids in the pool
  • An increase in usable sqft without the cost of a room addition
  • Fewer bugs, leaves, and pine needles collecting on your patio
  • A more private backyard with airflow and natural light
  • Better resale appeal and curb presence

Where can I
build a lanai?

Attached, freestanding,
and fully customized layouts.

We can build your lanai in several different places, depending on your home's layout. Whether you want a simple 10×12 screen room or a full wraparound lanai with upgraded finishes, we'll build it on-site with care and attention.

Some popular choices include:

  • Rear patios that need shelter from sun and bugs
  • Side yards where extra privacy is needed
  • Pool areas that require barrier enclosures
  • Entryways that benefit from shade and screening
  • Carports or breezeways converted into livable space

What Our Clients Say

Testimonials

Hurricane Milton left its mark on our lanai. Not only was Pombo's the best because of the price, but also because of the materials and workmanship. Josh, who designed the project, was so professional and explained everything thoroughly. Within a week of signing, three skilled gentlemen completed the beautiful transformation!

I just had my lanai built by Pombo's. They were a fantastic company to deal with. There was no pressure to sign up in the beginning. They gave updates throughout the process, so I was never left wondering where we were in the process. The crew that completed the installation was professional and did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier with the final product.

Frequently
asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our lanai services.

Most lanai projects take about 2 to 4 weeks, depending on size and complexity. This includes permitting, material delivery, and installation. If your project involves a new concrete slab, roof extension, or other structural additions, it may take a few extra days.
Screened lanais are generally low-maintenance. We recommend rinsing the screens and aluminum frame every few months to remove dirt, pollen, and dust. If your lanai is near trees, occasional screen repair may be needed due to storm debris or branches.
Yes. If you already have a covered patio or lanai, we can usually retrofit it with screens. Our team will inspect the structure to ensure it's sound, then recommend framing and mesh options that fit your setup.
Most new lanais or structural modifications require a building permit. Pombos Contracting handles the entire permitting process for you, working directly with local building departments to keep things simple.
Yes. We offer financing options to help make your lanai project more affordable. Ask us during your consultation, and we'll review the available plans.
Yes. Lanais can be customized with different frame colors, roof styles, screen types, and door placements. We'll work with you to design a space that complements your home.
A screened lanai can add value and curb appeal to your home, especially in Florida where outdoor living is highly desirable. It also increases usable space, which many buyers consider a plus.
Our lanais are engineered and installed to meet local building codes and wind load requirements. While no screen enclosure can withstand severe hurricane-force winds, our structures are built for durability and safety in Florida's weather conditions.
If you notice tears, sagging screens, or rusted framing, it may be time to repair or replace. We offer both full rescreening services and single-panel replacements.
