When he did they quoted $5300 and would simply replace the upper screen, add some additional structural components, and the roof would be three inch SIP (structural insulated panel). Further, the company said that engineering would ensure that their work met all codes, including hurricane winds, and that they would pull all necessary permits. We are exceptionally happy. The house is much cooler, the roof does not leak, and we can sit outside whenever we want even in the rain - unless it is blowing sideways. They request who referred you, so tell them Buck Williams gave you the referral. You can Google for their phone # or get back to me.

Can you explain a little more. I absolutely dislike our bird cage and would love to have a roof put on and make 1 big lanai. My husband doesn't think it can be done because of roof lines. (I think that is what it was but I'm not sure it's above my paygrade LOL), but I would really like to have this done if it can be without costing an arm and a leg. If anyone know's anything or have done this I would appreciate any input as we will be fulltimer's soon not soon enough though. But I will take being a part timer than not having the wonderful Villages experience at all. TYIA
