This is not the case for porch enclosures. There are many contractors in business around the Villages where you can solicit bids.

Not really the case as a contractor lets say U know the cost of a job is $5000 and you would be satisfied with a margin of profit of 30%, so U quote the job at $6500, but you find all the other contractors are charging and getting orders at $10,000 for the same work laughing all the way to bank.
So getting competitive bids within TV is difficult.
It's almost like price fixing

Custom windows made with high quality double paned glass properly installed are not cheap.

What do you consider high quality glass?
What type is it?

Putting up a bunch of 6 foot sliders from Home Depot or Lowes with aluminum filler panels to fill in the gaps will look pretty cheap and not be very well insulated.

Hate to tell you this look in the parking lot at HD & Lowes U will see these contractors picking up those windows not per se off the shelf but custom ordered thru HD & Lowes.
As far as enclosed lanais looking cheap or not insulated correctly that is exactly the case in all the sub par installs I see here.
contractors (that I've talked to) do lack of knowledge about glass and insulating factors of the framing & overall design and building codes.
