Porcelain 2CM
Thin enough for the door
About ¾ in thick, so it usually fits under the sliding-door track. Non-porous: pool chemicals, salt and spills rinse off, and it never needs sealing. Slip-rated finishes for wet areas.

Lanai Pavers in Lakewood Ranch, FL
Upgrade the builder lanai to porcelain or travertine — HOA submission done first, installed inside your screen at the right height at the door.
Certified Installer builder lanais and pool cages
A lanai floor built for Lakewood Ranch
Almost every Lakewood Ranch home has a screened lanai, often with the pool inside, finished in a builder coating or basic pavers. Upgrading it means working with the slab the builder poured, the cage that is already there and the community rules.
The detail that changes here: We check the builder slope toward the screen and the height at the sliding door, remove the builder coating, and mortar-set over the slab — no demolition.
We upgrade lanais throughout Lakewood Ranch:
- Esplanade
- Lorraine Lakes
- Del Webb
- Waterside
- Azario
- Country Club East

Materials
Lanai paver options for Lakewood Ranch homes
On a lanai, the height at the door decides as much as the look.
Travertine
Cool, natural stone
The coolest surface barefoot and a classic Florida lanai look. Thicker than porcelain, so we confirm door clearance first. Needs periodic sealing.

Lanai and pool deck as one floor
Run the same porcelain from the living room door to the pool coping for one continuous surface — inside the screen and out to the deck.

Questions
Lanai pavers in Lakewood Ranch, answered
Can I put pavers over my builder lanai in Lakewood Ranch?+
In most cases, yes. If the builder slab is sound, slopes toward the screen and leaves enough height at the door, we mortar-set pavers directly on it.
Does my Lakewood Ranch HOA need to approve a lanai upgrade?+
Many communities review exterior finishes, including lanais and pool decks. We prepare what the committee needs and start only after approval.
What is the best paver for a Lakewood Ranch lanai with a pool?+
Slip-rated porcelain is the most common choice: thin, non-porous and unaffected by pool chemicals. Travertine is the alternative when you want the coolest surface barefoot.
How long does a lanai upgrade take?+
Two to four working days for most lanais, including coating removal and slab prep. HOA approval comes before that and depends on when your committee meets.

Rated 5 out of 5Diogo and his team replaced our horrible travertine pavers with large porcelain pavers in a light cream. They are incredible! The entire team did such a great job and we’re very happy with the outcome! We highly recommend EC Paver Solutions!

Rated 5 out of 5I just have installed the "Da Vinci" Italian Porcelain tiles by EC Paver Solutions in my driveway, and I could not be happier with the results. Diego and his team did fantastic job. They finished the project on time we agreed on and they clean after the work was done. Great job done!

Rated 5 out of 5Highly recommend EC Pavers. Diogo is great to work with and his crew is fast and very detailed. They completed a large project around our pool using 3cm ceramic pavers and mosaic tiles wrapping the spa and waterline of the pool. A few months later, they came back to do the driveway also in the same ceramic pavers. The work was done promptly and everything was handled in a professional and efficient manner. Diogo has come back a few times to take care of minor items and is always available to address any concerns. I’m very happy with the work and highly recommend them to anyone.
