Outdoor Living for New Homes in Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach

New homes in Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach 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.

A roof overhead blocks direct sun, but some UV still bounces in from bright surfaces like dry sand or concrete, the Skin Cancer Foundation notes.

Nassau County Notes

Unincorporated Nassau County has tree protection rules, and Fernandina Beach permits homes inside city limits. We confirm your jurisdiction first.

Keeping mosquitoes out starts with intact screens: the CDC recommends using screens and repairing any holes in them.

Built for Florida. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
A Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite.

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. We work with new homes in neighborhoods all over Northeast Florida, and we're an independent builder, not affiliated with any home builder.
