Default Whole house mfg. home window replacement??

Criteria:
Screened-in lanai, no AC/heat access.
Manufactured home, 16 windows total (including lanai)
Want INSURED/Licensed installers - no side-job handymen
Andersen Windows said our home can't accommodate their windows and recommends updated newer model aluminum frames (ours are the original aluminum frames and windows).

Andersen recommended Superior Aluminum, or possibly some of the sun-room builders in the area, but they didn't have any company names to give us for those.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Window World only does vinyl, which definitely comes with problems in Florida climate.

I would check with your local utility. Our Public Utility District has incentives for upgrading manufactured home windows. They also provide a list of approved windows and contactors. Worth a call.
