Q: What’s the difference between a lanai and a Florida room?

• <div><p>A lanai is a covered patio with open walls, while a Florida room has sides made of mesh screens or windows, with or without partial low walls. In addition, lanais often use concrete or other patio flooring, while Florida rooms may have more indoor-style flooring like tile or wood. Both allow you to enjoy the outdoors without being in the direct sun, but a lanai doesn&rsquo;t offer any barrier against insects or debris. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to build a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>In most parts of the U.S., adding a screened-in porch requires a building permit. Since this type of project often involves structural work and changes to your home&rsquo;s footprint, homeowners should adhere to local guidelines. That said, permit rules can vary widely depending on where you live and how extensive the project is. Before you start sketching out plans or ordering materials, check in with your city or county&rsquo;s building department to avoid headaches, fines, and potential structural issues down the line.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of adding an enclosure to a property?

• <div><p>Increases living space and adds value to the home through enhanced utility.</p></div>

Q: Can a deck support a sunroom, and what are the foundation requirements?

• <div><p>Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.</p></div>

Q: Can a Florida room be used year-round?

• <div><p>A Florida room doesn&rsquo;t have insulation, nor is the space heated, so in most cases, the room won&rsquo;t be comfortable enough to use during the winter months. A four-season room, which is like a Florida room that&rsquo;s insulated, heated, and cooled, is a better option if you&rsquo;re looking to enjoy your sunroom all year long. </p></div>

"This is a terrific landscaping company. Work included removal of huge ice-damaged shrub, transplanting of an 8-foot tall Burning Bush, total refurbishing of two flower beds and construction of flower bed wood boxes and installation of a split-rail fence. All well-done. Great job with cleanup and disposal of removed shrubs. Bob and his team are very knowledgeable, skilled and easy to work with. They accomplished the Burning Bush transplantation when I wondered if or how it could be done. A top-notch outfit."
