Fort Myers Elite Patio Covers provides professional lanai lighting & ceiling fans in Fort Myers, FL for residential and commercial properties across Southwest Florida. Tight mesh is the trade nobody warns you about. The 20x20 that keeps no-see-ums out also cuts the breeze coming off the water, so on a screened lanai a ceiling fan stops being decoration and becomes the reason the room works at all.
Coverage beats horsepower. Two fans spaced down a long lanai move more air where people actually sit than one big one in the middle, and mounting height matters more than blade span does. Under a screen roof rather than a solid one, a fan is working on air that has been heating all afternoon, so expect less from it and plan the seating around that.
Rating is the thing that gets skipped and the thing that fails. Damp-rated suits a solid roof with walls around it. A screened lanai takes rain driven through the mesh in every summer storm, so wet-rated is the only honest specification, motor included. An indoor fan hung in a cage corrodes from the inside and is finished in two seasons.
Near the Gulf the specification tightens again. On Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva and Pine Island it is motor housings, downrods and canopy screws that go first, so we fit sealed housings and stainless fixings and say plainly that a cheap fan there is a two-year fan. Out at Gateway or Alva that same cheap fan runs for years.
Wire it while the roof is open. Conduit inside a beam disappears. Conduit surface-clipped to a finished insulated panel two years later is the first thing every visitor notices. Even with no fixture budget yet we run the legs and cap the boxes, because it costs very little now and a great deal later.
Two local habits worth building in. Separate the fans from the lights so you are not running four motors to read outside, and put the lanai lights on a timer if the house sits empty from June. Blades left turning unattended all summer is how a bearing gives out while you are a thousand miles away.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — powder-coated extruded aluminum framing, 20x20 no-see-um screen mesh, 18x14 standard insect screening, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, engineered footings and anchor embedment, hurricane uplift straps and tie-down connections — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Myers and nearby communities including Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Bonita Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do lanai lighting & ceiling fans
The difference between lanai lighting & ceiling fans that lasts and lanai lighting & ceiling fans that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with powder-coated extruded aluminum framing, 20x20 no-see-um screen mesh, 18x14 standard insect screening, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Myers job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in Southwest Florida means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
