Lanai Extension in SilverLeaf

Bigger lanais for SilverLeaf families, screened or open, designed in AutoCAD.

The goal of a lanai extension is simple: nobody should be able to tell where the old lanai ends. We design extensions for SilverLeaf homes that match the roof, the ceiling and the trim, then pave the whole floor as one.

Lanai Extension Options in SilverLeaf

Fans and lights. Wired into the new ceiling.
TV wall. Power and mounting planned for an outdoor TV.
Single-slope or gable. Roof style chosen to suit your roofline.
Roof attached to the house. The new roof meets the old one cleanly.

Ceiling fans make a covered lanai more comfortable through a wind-chill effect, and ENERGY STAR notes they cool people, not rooms, so they're best switched off when no one is outside.

Designing a lanai extension for SilverLeaf

Village-level guidelines can apply in SilverLeaf on top of the master guidelines. Bare new backyards in SilverLeaf make it easy to plan the whole space at once and build it in phases. Close neighbors make roof height and placement matter, so we check sightlines from next door as well as from your house.

Paving over the original slab and the new area together removes the seam where old meets new. Before we draw a lanai extension in SilverLeaf, we check whether the ceiling can carry through, what happens to the existing screen and where the floor seam would fall.

The CDC recommends screens on windows and doors and repairing any holes to keep mosquitoes outdoors, which is one reason screened lanais are so popular in Florida.

Approvals and Permits in SilverLeaf

SilverLeaf reviews additions for placement, materials and colors, and village rules can add to that. For a lanai extension, review boards commonly ask for the new footprint, the roofing and how it meets the house. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

SilverLeaf homes are permitted by St. Johns County. The County requires a building permit for most improvements and, in most cases, a clearance sheet before it accepts the application, and registered architectural review associations are notified automatically when exterior work is filed. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
