We want it look like it is part of the original house and not a "Florida" room or porch that has been enclosed. We have nothing against a glassed-in Lanai. We drive around and saw many we liked, but we are not "outdoor" people and plan to use the room as a game/tv room.
So, my questions:
1. Could anyone that has a finished to match the house lanai post some photos so we can see how others have.
2. Ballpark estimates. I have no idea, I expect it is roughly the same price. My guess is, and it is a guess for a two wall with split air would be about $15,000? Less would be better  |
Our neighbor has the same size lanai- 14 x 9. She installed floor to ceiling, single pane sliders and did not have to add air. Her current system takes care of cooling the lanai with the sliders open from the house. She did not raise the floor and had no trouble with furniture placement due to the slight slope. It is not noticeable. Also, another neighbor got an estimate to enclose their 9 foot long wall on their lanai. The estimate for a solid wall on that side was 3000.00. I have seen positive reviews for Harbortown Homes on this site, certainly a possibility for at least one estimate.
