At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help Florida homeowners create outdoor spaces that are beautiful, durable, and made for year-round living. Serving Brevard and Indian River Counties, our team delivers expert craftsmanship on every project, from pool enclosures to hurricane protection.

Living along Florida's Space Coast means having some of the most beautiful views in the state. Whether your home overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian River Lagoon, or one of the many canals throughout Brevard and Indian River County, your outdoor living space should be somewhere you can truly enjoy—not somewhere you're constantly sweeping sand, chasing mosquitoes, or retreating from the afternoon sun.
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we design and install custom beachside lanai screen enclosures that help homeowners make the most of coastal living. Every enclosure is engineered specifically for Florida's demanding coastal environment, combining durable aluminum construction with premium screening materials that allow you to enjoy the ocean breeze while minimizing insects, airborne debris, and everyday maintenance.
Whether you live in Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Sebastian Inlet, Aquarina, South Patrick Shores, or Indian River Shores, our team designs outdoor spaces that complement your home while standing up to Florida's unique coastal conditions.
Installing a screen enclosure just a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean is different than building one farther inland.
Beachside properties experience:
These conditions affect everything from the fasteners used during installation to the engineering of the structure itself.
That's why every lanai enclosure we build is custom designed—not only for your home—but also for its location along Florida's coastline.
Many homeowners already have a beautiful patio or covered lanai but find themselves avoiding it because of insects or weather.
A custom screen enclosure transforms that underused area into a comfortable extension of your home.
Imagine enjoying:
Instead of waiting for "perfect weather," you'll have an outdoor space that's enjoyable during much more of the year.
One of the biggest concerns homeowners have is whether a screen enclosure will block their view.
Our goal is the opposite.
We carefully design each enclosure to preserve sightlines whenever possible. Whether your property overlooks the ocean, the Banana River, the Indian River Lagoon, or a protected preserve, we'll recommend framing layouts that maximize visibility while maintaining structural integrity.
Large picture openings, thoughtful beam placement, and premium screen materials help keep your outdoor space feeling open instead of enclosed.
Every family uses their outdoor space differently.
Some homeowners want a quiet place to relax after work. Others envision a space for entertaining, outdoor dining, or spending time with grandchildren.
We design lanais around how you actually live.
Popular additions include:
Enjoy dinner outside without constantly swatting insects or worrying about falling leaves.
Create a comfortable seating area where friends and family naturally gather.
Protect grills and outdoor cooking areas while maintaining excellent ventilation.
Create a seamless transition between your pool deck and covered living space.
Give dogs a protected area to enjoy fresh air without constantly tracking sand or debris indoors.
Not every screen performs the same, especially near the ocean.
During your consultation, we'll help you choose the material that best fits your priorities.
An excellent everyday option that provides airflow, visibility, and affordability.
Ideal for homeowners who frequently deal with tiny biting insects, especially during the warmer months or near marshes and waterways.
Designed for homes with active dogs or cats that spend time outdoors.
Reduce glare and help make your lanai more comfortable during hot summer afternoons while maintaining outward visibility.
Rather than recommending the most expensive option, we focus on selecting the screen that fits your home, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
Not every contractor understands what beachside homes require.
Even communities only a few miles apart can have different permitting requirements, wind exposure, and environmental considerations.
Our experience working throughout Brevard and Indian River County allows us to understand many of the factors that influence successful coastal projects, including:
Attention to these details helps your enclosure perform better over time.
One of the most common requests we hear from homeowners is:
"We don't want our enclosure to look like it was added later."
That's exactly how we approach every project.
Instead of designing a structure that simply covers your patio, we consider rooflines, architectural style, color matching, door placement, traffic flow, and how the enclosure will look from both inside and outside your home.
A well-designed lanai should feel like it was always part of the house—not an afterthought.
Taking extra time during the planning stage often produces a cleaner finished appearance and a more functional outdoor space.
Our beachside service area includes homeowners throughout Florida's barrier islands, including:
If your home is located anywhere along the Space Coast's barrier islands, we'd be happy to discuss your project.
Choosing a contractor is about more than finding the lowest price.
Homeowners throughout Brevard and Indian River County choose Lafferty Aluminum & Screening because we offer:
From your initial consultation to the final walkthrough, our goal is to deliver a finished enclosure you'll enjoy for years to come.
Salt air can accelerate corrosion on inferior materials, which is why quality construction and proper materials matter. Professionally built aluminum screen enclosures designed for Florida's coastal environment are intended to withstand everyday exposure with routine maintenance.
Many homeowners find that enclosing an existing covered patio dramatically increases how often they use the space by reducing insects, debris, and exposure to the elements while still enjoying fresh air.
There isn't one universal answer. The best enclosure depends on your home's exposure to wind, your desired level of visibility, and whether your priority is insect protection, pet resistance, or reducing afternoon sun.
Our goal is always to preserve your views as much as possible. During the design process, we carefully consider framing layout, screen selection, and structural requirements to maximize visibility while maintaining safety and code compliance.
Most homeowners benefit from occasionally rinsing the aluminum frame and screens with fresh water to remove salt residue and keeping the enclosure free of accumulated debris. Maintenance frequency depends on how close the home is to the shoreline.
In many cases, yes. If your existing patio or covered lanai meets structural requirements, it can often be enclosed with a custom-designed screen system. We'll evaluate your home during your free estimate.
Homes closer to the ocean experience different environmental conditions, including higher salt exposure, stronger winds, and increased UV radiation. These factors influence engineering, material selection, fastening systems, and long-term maintenance considerations.
The lifespan depends on material quality, environmental exposure, routine maintenance, and weather events. A professionally installed enclosure built with quality materials generally provides many years of dependable performance.
Yes. While no enclosure completely eliminates airborne debris, screening significantly reduces the amount of sand, leaves, and yard debris that accumulates on your outdoor living space.
Many buyers appreciate functional outdoor living spaces, especially in Florida. While market conditions vary, a professionally installed lanai enclosure can improve both usability and curb appeal.
