Outdoor Living for New Homes in Northeast Florida

New homes in Northeast Florida usually come with a small covered lanai and a slab. We're an independent builder, not affiliated with any home builder. Here's what our clients most often add:

Lanai extensions and covered patio extensions that look original to the house.
Screen enclosures for bug-free evenings.
Gazebos and A-frames tied into the roofline.
Outdoor kitchens and fire features.
Pavers to extend the patio.

In NAHB's study of home buyers, 86% rated a patio essential or desirable, making it one of the two most-wanted features.

What We Look At

How the new roof meets the existing lanai roof, matching the home's finishes, the ceiling for fans and lights, and your community's guidelines. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

The EPA reports that shaded surfaces can be 20 to 45°F cooler than the peak temperatures of unshaded materials.

Our Design-Build Process

Design session with Amany. Your project starts at our Jacksonville design studio, where you sit down with founder Amany Youssef and watch your project take shape live on screen in AutoCAD.
Free AutoCAD design and a custom quote. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation, so you know exactly what you're getting.
In-home design visit. Amany comes to your home for an in-person walkthrough, so we look at the project together where you're most comfortable, finalize the details and choose your colors and finishes.
Engineering, HOA and permits handled. We get the necessary engineered documents for every permitted structure, prepare your HOA/ARB package and pull the permits.
Build. We can start most projects within two to four weeks. Our crews follow a build process we've refined over many projects, and you get daily updates.
The AY Advantage. You hold back the final 5% for seven days after completion, so we can take care of any touch-ups before you sign off.

Financing is available through Synchrony Bank, including 18 months of no-interest financing, and we have other financing options as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I add the patio cover through my builder or after closing? Builder options are convenient but limited. Working with a custom builder after closing gives you more design freedom and a structure that fits how you live.
