Screening East Hillsborough since 1986

Todd Weir has been building and rescreening enclosures across this area since 1986, back when much of Brandon was still dairy farms and citrus groves, and he started Lanai Guy with his wife Tammy in 2014 to give homeowners a licensed, done-right alternative to the cheapest-bid crews.

Every enclosure is custom stick-built, measured, and cut on-site for the tightest, longest-lasting screen, using only USA-made Phifer screen produced in Alabama, never imported mesh. It is the kind of workmanship customers notice. “The quality of work was outstanding, and the attention to detail really showed,” one recent Google reviewer wrote. Lanai Guy is a state-licensed Specialty Structure Contractor, fully insured, and backs every job with a one-year material and workmanship warranty.

Whatever your project, a torn lanai screen, an aging pool cage, or a brand-new screen room you can actually live in, one call gets you a real person. Tammy answers the phone herself, with no call center and no answering service, and walks you through your options from the very first conversation.

About the Owner

40 Years of Florida Screen Experience, One Family

Todd Weir is a Brandon original. He grew up here when the roads were still dirt and the land was dairy farms, citrus groves, and tomato fields; he graduated from East Bay High and started in the trade as a teenager building swimming pools. He moved into screen work as a young man, spent several years as a merchant mariner traveling the world on oil tankers and cargo ships, then came back to his roots doing what he knows best: building screen enclosures that let Florida families enjoy the outdoors without the bugs, sun, and weather.

Todd founded Lanai Guy in 2014 with his wife, Tammy, who moved to Brandon in 1998 and brought a business and computer background to the company she has built alongside him. Tammy is the voice on the other end of the line; she answers every call herself, and Todd runs every estimate and supervises every build. Their everyday crew, Zach, Mike, Jason, Wilson, and Mike R., has been rescreening lanais, building screen rooms, and rebuilding storm-damaged pool cages across East Hillsborough for years.

From Your First Call to a Finished Enclosure

5 Steps

01

You reach a real person

Tammy answers the phone herself. If she is on another line, she sends a callback text right away. She can answer questions on pricing, products, scheduling, and what your project involves, all in the first call.

02

Free in-home estimate

Todd comes out, measures, and talks through what you want, how big you can go within county setbacks, what needs to change on any existing structure, and any concrete or footer work involved. Estimates are free, and there is never any pressure to buy.

03

A plain-language plan and written quote

You get a clear, itemized quote we honor until our material suppliers raise their prices. A $100 minimum applies, and we do not do pressure sales; we would rather earn your business.

04

Permitting and engineering, handled

For a new enclosure or screen room, we provide engineering, pull permits, and schedule inspections. We do not submit to your HOA on your behalf, but we provide you with all the documents your HOA requires for approval.

05

Custom stick-built by our own crew

Everything is measured and cut on site for the tightest fit, installed by Todd’s own team, not subcontractors, and we leave the job site spotless, right down to picking every spline scrap out of the pool.

“I called just to ask a few questions because I was reluctant to have them come out because of my budget, and they told me not to worry. They were out the following week and changed the top of my screened lanai to panels. Now Yoshi my puppy can stay outside when he wants, and even if it rains he won’t get wet.”

— Robin Pope, Google review (lanai roof panels, East Hillsborough)

Why Choose Us

Seven Reasons Homeowners Pick Lanai Guy

1

We are a state-licensed contractor

Todd holds Florida Specialty Structure Contractor license SCC131152382, and he tells every customer the same thing he puts on his estimates: protect yourself, only do business with a state-licensed contractor.

Not every rescreen crew in Tampa Bay holds a contractor’s license. If something goes wrong, or the work fails inspection, you have no recourse. A licensed contractor is accountable to the state, not just to a phone number.

2

Honest recommendations, not pressure sales

We tell you the truth about what your enclosure needs. If a full rescreen is smarter than chasing one panel, we say so. If your screen has years left on it, we say that too.

We do not run door-to-door sales or upsell at the point of sale. Customers call Todd the King of Communication for a reason, and “easy, honest, and informative” is the phrase that shows up again and again in our reviews.

3

Owner-led and family-owned

Todd runs every appointment, and Tammy answers every call. You are working directly with the people whose name is on the company.

We have no plans to sell to a national rollup or hand your job to a call center. When you call Lanai Guy, you get Todd and Tammy, the same as customers have since 2014.

4.7 stars across 245+ reviews

Real customers, real names, real projects, on Google, Facebook, and Yelp.

Reviews repeatedly thank us for the same things: showing up when we said we would, coordinating installs while owners were traveling, and leaving the job cleaner than we found it.

5

USA-made screen, custom stick-built

We install only Phifer screen made in Alabama, and we stick-build every enclosure, measuring and cutting on-site for the tightest possible fit.

We do not install imported mesh, and we are not pre-fab assemblers. Custom fabrication is how we keep screens from stretching, sagging, or popping out in Florida wind and heat.

6

Quality over the cheapest price

We are not the lowest bidder, and we are honest about that. Our price reflects 40 years of experience, the right screen for the Florida sun, and work that lasts.

The cheapest quote often uses a dark-shade fabric that blocks airflow and fails early, so the homeowner pays a second time to have it done right. We would rather do it right the first time.

7

40 years and every major storm

Todd has been in this trade since 1986 and has worked hurricanes from Andrew through Idalia. That experience shows up in how we build for wind.

We know which panels blow out first, how to pull a cage back to plumb after a storm, and when hurricane cables actually earn their keep, knowledge a two-year-old crew simply does not have.

“The property backs up to a pond, which was causing a swarm of no-see-ums in our lanai and pool every night. We had an entire rescreen with the 20/20. Their crew did an amazing job (finished in one day too), and their pricing was incredibly fair.”

— Paige Fournier, Google review (pool enclosure rescreen)

“Todd and Tammy were great from start to finish. They were informative, responsive, patient, and professional. They coordinated with other workers and built the lanai while we were away. We were excited to see how it turned out once we returned, and it looks fantastic.”

— Suzanne Budd, Google review (lanai build)

Todd will answer every one of these before you ever commit, and he would rather you ask them of every company you call.

Lanai & Screen Enclosure FAQs

A standard lanai rescreen starts around $400, and a full pool cage rescreen starts around $2,500. Specialty screen such as 20/20 No-See-Um, Super Screen, or Florida Glass adds to that. Every price is a ballpark until we measure, and your exact number comes with your free in-home estimate. A $100 minimum applies.

We are usually scheduling about one to two weeks out, and we can often get you a quote the same week you call. A simple screen-in of an existing lanai can be a one- to two-week job; a new build with permitting typically runs four to eight weeks.

Yes. A new screen room or pool enclosure requires a county permit, and we handle the engineering, permitting, and scheduling of all inspections. Screening in an existing lanai under your home’s roof usually does not require a permit.

We do not submit to your HOA on your behalf, but we provide all the documents your HOA requires so you can obtain approval. Checking with your HOA before you start is the single most important step; requirements are getting stricter, especially on roof color and panel type.
