Before you schedule anything, run this quick checklist so the project matches how you actually use your lanai in St Augustine FL. Start with your top pain point: mosquitoes, blowing sand, leaf debris, or harsh afternoon sun. Then note where airflow matters most, like near the grill or seating area, so the design protects without turning your space into a hot box.
Next, walk the perimeter and look for the usual trouble spots: loose spline, sagging corners, rust at fasteners, torn mesh, or gaps where the screen meets stucco. If you see repeated patching, it is often a sign the system needs rescreening or frame attention, not just a quick patch. Bring photos to your consultation so we can price the right scope from the start.
Finally, confirm practical details that affect timing. Ask about access around the lanai, where materials can be staged, and whether your structure needs permit coordination under local requirements.
