Default Lanai enclosure

Has anyone used Custom Windows and exterior design? I am looking for a reputable service to enclose my Lanai.

you will not find better people to deal with. Just had our lanai enclosed in January with Cabana sliding windows and couldn't be happier with everything.

They just completed our installation of sliding windows. Everyone from our salesperson (Mary) to the installers did a great job. We are extremely satisfied with the service. They also handled the HOA approval and the county permit. PM me if you would like to come and see our lanai. We live in Charlotte.

What ever you do or whoever you use, make sure you get all the information they TELL you, put in WRITING. Tell them you are getting several quotes and ask them to give you there best quote. All in writing, with what they are doing and material supplied, If they used subs.

We used Martin to enclose our lanai when we had a patio villa, and it was awesome. We miss the long windows now that we are in a different home.

Yes. We used this company last winter to enclose our lanai. Quality work and good follow up with a minor issue.

Default Lanai enclosure

I went to Custom windows showroom to see if they had the type of product I wanted. We were not enclosing a lanai, but wanted to remove an eight foot livingroom window and replace it with 12 ft. center opening sliding glass doors. They told me in the showroom they didn't do that, but had a contractor contact us to see the project. After receiving a few estimates, we contracted with their contractor (Randa Services). He did a great job. Based upon the service we received from Randy Davison I would imagine Custom Windows does an equally good job. If you need a good contractor contact him.

Custom Windows now offers a darker heavier screen for reducing heat/sun's rays.... instead of the regular screening. Has anyone used this screening ? Does it make the lanai too dark if you use it with tinted windows.

{We've had several friends who have used CustomWindows and were happy with results, but they just got the regular screening.}

Does anyone know the average price of enclosing a Lanai with either plexiglass vs. glass on Lantana? Not sure what to expect??

Full low-e glass sliders on a Lantana...approx 10K.

Less for windows, less for acrylic.
