I would have settled for paint on my lanai but I expanded it and was left with an ugly expansion joint. I also lucked out on the tile as I was on sale and just what we wanted. Paint is less expensive but looks good. Tile looks much better in my opinion.
You might check with Home Warranty for acceptable contractors.

I very much like the look of tiles, and I know if you purchase the correct kind there isn't a problem with them being slippery when wet. I do have a concern - only because friends of ours are experiencing this right now - during the heat of this summer their lanai tiles buckled and several of them cracked. Most likely this is a result of improper installation. Our lanai will be getting very hot during the summer months and we will not be here to monitor - has anyone else had or seen this problem?
