We just had ours done by AlumiTech. Not quite finished yet, waiting on one replacement for a window that broke in transit, and they have to replace the awning they took down to put up the ones in the lanai.

Great job so far, VERY expensive, but they were custom built for the house since it's a double-wide and not standard sizes. The best part about it is, the windows are all up to code now. They were the single-pane, single-hungs that would shatter if you breathed on them too hard. Now we have super-thick light filtering acrylic on the lanai sliders, a real actual door (instead of our old screen door) so we can use that as a front door from now on if we want, and double-pane double-hung insulated windows all around. Like those Andersen windows that tilt out so you can clean them without having to go outside, remove a screen, and climb a ladder.

SUCH a huge difference! Plus we got kick plates on the lanai, adding more insulation for longer yearly use of the room, and pet screen on the lanai so the cat can hang out there at night without shredding the screen when the ferals wander by.
