existing house is 1850 sq ft.......what kind of prices have you experienced for this size job.....thanks for the input
We enclosed our lanai (about 150 sq ft) but we went with First Choice Windows out of Ocala. Our neighbors used them, too. They were fantastic!!! They were also half the price of Custom Windows for better quality. We got double paned windows and a custom doggie door for around 7k last year. We had a company come out and shoot some insulation over the lanai (and garage while we were at it) for just a couple hundred dollars. That and double pane was the trick to not having to use a separate a/c! We keep sliders open and the lanai stays within 2 degrees of the house temp. No impact on electric bill that we saw. We were super pleased with the company and results.
