About Lanai Guy: A Family-Owned Screen Company in Brandon, FL

Todd and Tammy Weir, screen experts serving Brandon, Riverview, and East Hillsborough County. In the trade since 1986.

About / Our Story
01

Lanai Guy is a family-owned screen enclosure and lanai company based in Brandon, Florida. Todd Weir has been in the trade since 1986, building, rescreening, and repairing screen enclosures throughout the area, and he and his wife, Tammy, run the business together: Todd in the field, Tammy in the office. We do one thing: screens, and we do it right, with USA-made Phifer screen, a state license, and a promise to tell you the honest truth about what your enclosure actually needs.

02

We are not a national franchise or a general contractor who screens on the side. We are the people who answer the phone, measure your lanai, and stand behind the work. That is the whole point of calling a specialist.

The Team

Todd is the face you meet at the estimate and the one supervising your install. Tammy runs the office and keeps you in the loop from quote to completion. Behind them is a crew that has been with us for years and knows screen work inside out, including Zach, Mike, Jason, Wilson, and Mike R. Our technicians live right here in the community, in Plant City, Brandon, Riverview, and Land O'Lakes, so when we say we are local, we mean it.

Why local roots matter

Those local roots matter more than they might sound. A crew that lives in Plant City, Brandon, and Riverview knows what the summer sun and the salt air off the bay do to a screen, knows which neighborhoods have the older cages that need a structural look, and can be at your door quickly when a storm rolls through. Todd is often only about thirty minutes out.

Outside of work, Todd and Tammy are a Brandon family through and through. They have three young grandchildren they love to take camping, to the beach, or for a pool day at home. As a company, we are proud to support the local Police and Fire Benevolence and school programs in our area.

Our Story

Todd was born and raised right here in Brandon and went to East Bay High School. He started in the trade as a teenager building swimming pools, then moved into screen work, and he took to it. He spent years traveling with a Brandon screen company into hurricane-hit areas across the state, handling sales, design, permitting, and the heavy screen and pool-cage rebuilds that follow a storm. He worked Hurricanes Andrew, Jeanne, Frances, and Charley, and he still repairs storm damage in our area today. Between those years, Todd also spent time as a merchant mariner, but screens were where he kept coming back, so he came home to Brandon and built Lanai Guy around what he knows best. Tammy grew up in Branson, Missouri, earned a degree in business and computers, and worked in the corporate world before settling in Brandon in 1998. She runs the office, and when you call, she is the voice on the other end: “Lanai Guy, Tammy speaking.” No call center, no answering service, no phone tree. That combination, Todd's decades of hands-on screen experience and Tammy's steady communication, is why customers keep calling us the King of Communication.

Our Process

How We Work

4 Promises We Keep

1

We tell you the honest truth

Sometimes a repair is all you need, and sometimes a full rescreen saves you money over patching tear after tear. We will tell you which, even when the smaller job is the honest answer. We would rather earn the next job than oversell you on this one.

2

USA-made Phifer screen, every time

We install only genuine Phifer screen, made in the USA in Alabama. We do not use imported mesh. The right screen for your yard, whether standard 18/14, 20/20 No-See-Um near the water, or a heavier Super Screen or TuffScreen, lasts longer and looks better, and we help you pick it without upselling.

3

We leave your yard cleaner than we found it

Our crew picks up every spline scrap, screen offcut, and piece of material trash, and we never leave debris in your pool. A clean job site is not a bonus; it is part of the job.

4

A real person, start to finish

You reach Tammy on the phone, Todd meets you for the estimate, and our own crew does the work. Nothing gets handed off to a stranger, and communication is the thing we are known for.

Why the license matters

The most important line is the first one. An unlicensed screener can leave you holding the bill for a failed permit or a cage that will not pass inspection, and verifying a Florida license takes about thirty seconds on the state’s website.
