Screenco Inc, an aluminum framing and screen enclosure contractor based in Sarasota County, today announced an operational expansion to offer custom installations of lanai enclosures in Lakewood Ranch, FL. The service rollout includes site evaluations, extruded aluminum frame fabrication, screen mesh selection, structural engineering reviews, and field assembly for residential outdoor living spaces.

The expanded offering incorporates heavy-gauge extruded aluminum alloy framing (6005-T5 and 6063-T6 temper specifications) engineered to comply with Florida Building Code (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone and inland wind load) standards. System designs feature powder-coated finishes formulated for salt-air exposure, humidity, and UV resistance. Homeowners can select from multiple screening materials based on site conditions, including standard 18×14 fiberglass mesh, fine-mesh 20×20 “no-see-um” screening for small pest exclusion, heavy-duty pet-resistant polyester screening, and solar-blocking fabrics designed to reduce thermal heat transfer on south- and west-facing exposures.

The decision to introduce custom lanai configurations responds to steady residential development and home renovation activity throughout Manatee and Sarasota counties. Lanai enclosures provide a physical barrier against regional insect activity—such as biting midges, gnats, and mosquitoes—while preserving ambient airflow and natural light without requiring fully enclosed climate control. Furthermore, framed enclosures reduce organic debris collection, such as falling leaves, pollen, and pine needles, which helps lower ongoing maintenance requirements for outdoor patios and tiled decking surfaces.

In addition to aluminum frame erection and screen installation, Screenco Inc offers custom door assemblies, heavy-duty kick-plate reinforcements, integrated continuous gutter systems, and stainless-steel fastener packages designed to prevent rust staining over time. For homes featuring existing covered patios, clear-span aluminum framing options can be integrated directly under the existing roofline to maximize open sightlines into surrounding yard spaces. Project teams coordinate structural engineering submittals, wind load calculations, and municipal permitting through local building departments in Manatee and Sarasota counties prior to field construction.

To maintain structural integrity under high-wind conditions, the firm utilizes specialized concrete anchoring systems, including Tapcon masonry fasteners and expansion anchors rated for poured concrete slabs and stem walls. Structural connections are designed to withstand coastal storm patterns and localized turbulence without compromising frame stability. Additionally, custom frame bracing options allow for large-panel screen installations that preserve panoramic views of golf courses, lakes, and nature preserves common throughout the Lakewood Ranch master-planned community. Engineered diagonal corner bracing and gusset plate assemblies are also incorporated into wide-span spans to distribute wind loads evenly across the perimeter frame.

To assist property owners during the planning phase, Screenco Inc provides on-site structural assessments, physical material samples, elevation drawings, and direct design guidance. The installation process begins with an on-site consultation to measure perimeter dimensions, evaluate existing concrete pad conditions, and identify structural connection points along the host building’s fascia or soffit. The contractor maintains local trade licensing and carries general liability and workers’ compensation coverage for all residential projects. This pre-construction assessment ensures that every enclosure design accommodates existing drainage pathways, lighting fixtures, and architectural trim without compromising the structural seal against the home.
