Default Advanced Construction
We had the lanai of our first home expanded and enclosed with full length 3/8 acrylic sliding windows/doors; contractor was Advanced Construction. When the job was finished there were large spaces below and above the sliding panels. Advanced claimed Custom Windows mismeasured. Custom Windows claimed Advanced didn't build proper opening. After many "discussion" the issue was resolved mostly. However, I would not use Advanced again for my present home. Also, after enclosing the first lanai, it became much too hot to use May - Sept. Even with windows opened it cut down on the breeze and was suffocatingly hot. Do not plan to enclose current lanai. BTW-I have heard positive recommendations on Express Windows, no first hand experience.
