Whether you need extra space for entertaining guests or a private paradise to relax, lanais can be an excellent addition to the home. These covered, open-air patios allow you to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian climate from the comfort of your backyard. Here are some of the many advantages of having a general contractor build a lanai.

Why Your Home Should Have a Lanai

1. Temperature Coolness & Shelter 

Lanais provide adequate shelter and shade for protection against the elements, so you can make use of your outside space at all times regardless of the forecast. This extra protection will also extend to the home, shielding it from the sun and keeping the house cooler. 

2. Creates an Entertainment Area or Extension of Living Space

Having an additional entertainment space is always appealing for people who like to invite friends and family over. Perhaps the space inside your house is limited, or you frequently have get-togethers that you want to spread out. A lanai is also an extension of your living room or home office in many respects.  No matter what way you choose to use it, the lanai gives you or your guests flexibility to move about in a sheltered area where they can get some light and air and capitalize on Hawaii’s notorious indoor/outdoor living style. 

4. Adds a Layer of Home Security

Lanais’ could keep people from your entry as it is an added layer of protection to your home before the front door. If you have little ones in the house or pets, you can give them a safe place to play.  Also, a lanai with railings and gates will give you have a buffer between an unexpected guest and the interior of your home.  Keeping visitors at a safe distance while you gather yourself for a conversation can make a big difference in your ability to receive guests politely.
