Lanai Extension in RiverTown

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

If your lanai is a hallway instead of a room, it's time to extend it. AY Luxury Designs designs and builds lanai extensions, serving homeowners in RiverTown, with the roof attached to the house and the old and new floor paved as one.

Designing a lanai extension for RiverTown

RiverTown's amenities include the riverfront RiverClub with a kayak launch, boardwalk and amphitheater, plus RiverHouse, RiverLodge, pools, trails and dog parks. Some RiverTown lots slope toward a pond or preserve, so raised patios on a wall base are a common solution. Facing water, the roof edge is set so the view starts right at the seating.

Paving over the original slab and the new area together removes the seam where old meets new. Before we draw a lanai extension in RiverTown, we check how deep the extension can go, whether the ceiling can carry through and how much light the family room keeps.

The EPA's UV Index guidance recommends seeking shade during late morning through mid-afternoon whenever the UV Index is moderate or higher.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a lanai extension cost in RiverTown?It depends on the design, so there's no standard price. The main cost drivers are roof style and tie-in; ceiling; screens; the floor; and engineering and permits. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum, and you get a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation.

What roof styles work for a lanai extension?Single-slope, gable and flat roofs can all work. Amany picks the one that ties into your roofline best.

Can you remove my old screen to extend the lanai?Yes. We can take down the old screen, extend the roof and screen the whole new space.

Have you built in RiverTown?Yes. We've completed many RiverTown projects, including a cedar pergola over a raised paver patio with a fire pit, a gazebo with a lanai extension and screen enclosure, and several projects in Watersong.

Will my RiverTown HOA review a lanai extension?Plan on it. RiverTown reviews backyard structures and hardscape, so even a paver extension usually needs approval. We prepare what the board asks for, and the decision is the board's, so confirm current guidelines with your association.

Who permits a lanai extension in RiverTown?A lanai extension is a permitted roof structure. In RiverTown, permits come from St. Johns County. We file the clearance sheet and the permit application, record the Notice of Commencement the county requires for most permitted projects, and schedule the inspections. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
