I had one minor issue which was taken care of immediately to my satisfaction. Definitely insulate the lanai. It really does make a big difference.

You have to be careful when you compare prices among different installers. I got estimates from Custom Windows and T&D and yes, Custom Windows had a lower price, but they did not include the leveling of the entire lanai floor like T&D did. Custom Windows was not able to add electrical outlets to the outside wall. T&D inset the sliding doors in a new poured concrete lanai floor and did not rely on a wedge of cement on the sides of lanai and caulking as Custom Windows was going to do. If you don't level the lanai floor you then have to have a wedge of cement placed under the doors to level them. Sometimes comparing just price is not the best idea.
