1) Install gutters
2) Extend concrete on side of house
3) Build birdcage to side on house
4) Re-route sprinkler lines to accommodate extension of concrete / birdcage
5) Landscape side and front of house, including building small retention wall for plants/palms
6) Putting in pavers in driveway
7) Apoxy both interior garage as well as lanai/birdcage
8) Upgrade front door (glass inserts)
9) ** Maybe raise flooring height in lanai, to make even with interior of house**

I will be working with multiple contractors, so need advice where to start first.

Thanks as usual for any help provided.
too easy, we have been there done that on 7 houses so far....

Gutters #1 - NOTE - when doing this get rid of any downspout on concrete, also bury the others.

Lanscaping

reroute sprinklers - suggestion tuck them close to the house so that no mower can touch them if you need methods just ask

DO NOT expoxy the Lanai, just do the paint/sealer otherwise raise your insurance.

Front door

concrete pad

"bird cage" (down here it's called a screen in)

pavers
