Lanais & Pool Enclosures Built for Florida Evenings and Florida Storms
The screened, shaded, bug-free outdoor room where Southwest Florida life actually happens: wind-load engineered, permitted, and built to take the weather.

The best room in a Florida house isn't inside it
Morning coffee over the pool. Dinner outside in February while the rest of the country scrapes ice. That's what you moved here for, and it's exactly what a properly built lanai or pool enclosure delivers. The catch: "properly built" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. A screen cage is a wind-load structure, and after every hurricane, Southwest Florida is littered with the ones that weren't engineered like it.
Sosnin Builders has completed 24+ lanai builds and dozens of pool cages and screen enclosures across Sarasota and Charlotte counties. Each one is engineered to Florida wind-load code, permitted with the county, and anchored the way the calculations say, not the way that's fastest. When your lanai & pool enclosure builder treats the structure as seriously as the view, you get both: the evenings outside, and a cage built to ride out storm season.
What we design and build
Screened lanais & covered outdoor rooms
True outdoor living space: roofed, screened, fan-ready, and tied into your home's structure and drainage correctly.
Pool cages & screen enclosures
Full-height enclosures that keep the bugs and debris out and the breeze in, engineered panel by panel for your wind zone.
Wind-load engineering & permits
Every enclosure is calculated, permitted, and inspected. The paperwork is our job, and it's exactly what your insurance company will ask for after a storm.
Hurricane rebuilds & upgrades
Cage destroyed or damaged in a storm? We've rebuilt them across Charlotte County since Hurricane Ian: stronger anchoring, current code, clean insurance documentation.
Coastal-grade materials
Aluminum framing, fasteners, and screening specified for salt air and UV, so the enclosure looks right in year ten, not just year one.
The difference an actual builder makes
Plenty of crews can screw aluminum together. The failures start where the structure meets reality: attachment points into fascia and slab, wind-load anchoring, drainage, and permits. Sosnin Builders is a licensed residential contractor (CRC1333975). Your enclosure is designed and inspected as a structure, because that's what it is.
It's also some of our most-praised work. The Hurricane Ian carport and lanai rebuilds in our Angi reviews, the ones quoted as "detailed down to the caulking," are this exact service. One builder, a clear written scope, and a structure that's still standing after the next storm warning.
Asked before every project like yours.
Yes. Screen enclosures and lanais are wind-load structures and require engineering, permits, and inspection in every Southwest Florida county. Unpermitted enclosures create real problems at insurance-claim time and at resale. We handle the engineering and permitting start to finish.
