Lanai Extension in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Lanai extensions for Ponte Vedra Beach homes: more covered living space that looks original to the house.

The classic builder lanai fits two chairs and no table. A lanai extension pushes the covered living space out into the yard, with a roof tied into the house, a matching ceiling and a new floor. AY Luxury Designs designs and builds lanai extensions for homeowners in Ponte Vedra Beach, screened or open, with fans, lights and a kitchen or fireplace if you want them.

Lanai is a Hawaiian word for a roofed porch or veranda, and Merriam-Webster dates its first known use in English to 1823.

Lanai Extensions in Ponte Vedra Beach: What's Different

Lanai extensions in Ponte Vedra Beach. Many Ponte Vedra Beach homes have a lanai that's too small for how the family actually lives. Extending it, with a roof that matches the house and the floor carried out in stone or pavers, is one of the most common ways to add usable space without changing the look of the home.

Your neighborhood's architectural review comes first. In Ponte Vedra Beach, the review board will want to see how the lanai extension ties into the house, the roof material and color, and where it sits relative to the setbacks. We show all of it in the AutoCAD design and on a scaled site plan on your survey. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

St. Johns County permits. Ponte Vedra Beach is in St. Johns County, which issues the building permit, usually after a clearance sheet, and automatically notifies registered architectural review associations. A recorded Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our St. Johns County permit guide.

In Hawaii, a covered porch is simply called a lanai, Merriam-Webster notes, and the word has become a common term for covered outdoor living spaces.
