Lanai Expansion
 

I am considering adding an 8' x 12' addition to my lanai. Has anyone used Precision Aluminum or Kilcrease Construction for this type of project, or can you reccommend other contractors?

I just send you a PM with the name of a General Contractor who was a former Village Construction Supervisor who has done outstanding work in our neighborhood. He is licended, deals with village approvals daily, knowledgeable with county codes. He has built in our immediate village everything from Custom entertainment centers (wall to wall in a Lantana..OUTSTANDING), Custom shelves and cabinet in laundry areas, crown moulding, and lanai extensions (including engineered roof extensions) and enclosures.

A big difference between him and the big boys is he is on-site everyday and you deal with him directly. He will know what you want so there is no middle man to deal with while construction is underway. His overhead is much lower and thus he can price his produt cometitively.

Just let me know if you need any additional information.

I've heard god things about T&D

784Caroline,
Can you send me the reference also. I have also heard good things about T&D, but would love to get some bids from several. Thanks

Could you send along the reference as well . We will be building next Nov

what is the company name?

Caroline, please send this person's name and #. He sounds like just who we are looking for.
Thanks

Me too, please?

Me too, please?

we used T&D, very pleased. Plus, If it isnt right they will fix it!!!

I really like Jerome's Masonry. He has done two wonderful additions for us and is starting the third next week.
T and D is finishing up a project for us also. I like T and D but their job has taken a long time to complete. Like Jerome, they also stand behind their product. They built a large concrete courtyard with knee walls then installed pavers over the entire area down to the street.
I am impressed with both companies.

Check out the testimonials on his site.

Sam, the latest job sounds beautiful. Can you post some pictures?? I love your house and I bet this is gorgeous. Thanks,

Jerome's Masonry
 

Kathie..stop by and take a look. I think Jerome will be doing pictures when the job is complete. He will post them inside the banner ad he has on totv. He runs a very good company.

Since you last stopped by with Nonie, we have decided on and started our big project. Expanding the family room by knocking out the sliding glass doors, raisng the lanai floor 4 inches, fully enclosing the lanai with all glass including extending the heat/ac with diagonal tile laid throughout. Then we are knocking out a window in the master bedroom making it into a doorway leading into a NEW block hexagonal "Hobby" room that also has access to the expanded family room (formerly the lanai), and finally adding a patio entrance to the new family room.

Concrete is laid, block walls are up, expect to have the framing up this week followed by the roof and windows.

Always something to do!!

Can you give me the name of this contractor? Thanks.

Can you just post the recommendation so we can all have it?

Lanai extention
 

We received several quotes for our project and we picked T&D. We are very pleased with the job they provided. The attention to detail and customer service was excellent.

Can you please sent the info along to me as well. With such a good review he will be to busy to keep up with all of us who want his info.

D&D did. A great job!
 

W extended and enclosed our lanai complete with air conditioning. THe finished project is awesome!

When choosing any company...do not give money up front. If you check with Seniors against Crime they will tell you an honorable company will not ask for any up front money. Ask if they have any claims against them and also settled claims. A settle claim does not mean a happy customer..just one that was tired of the fight. This goes for all types of work in The Villages..electricians, additions, and brick pavers. Buyer beware.

can you pm me with this info also

this sounds good to me for future reference

workmanship and customer service
 

Look at tomdice (1/25/2012) and olemon (1/29/2012)

Please send me his name also-very interested!

Caroline, please send me also!

Only suggestion I would make is....
 

to eliminate a leaf catch-all (not sure if you have trees on your lot).....Our lot has booo-koooo trees and LEAVES that land in a crack that collects LEAVES.....But the trees are great for many reasons, so will take the inconvenience

Angiefox et al,
 

The builder we used, Brian Freitag of B&J Builders, was discussed in the link about enclosing a lanai.

https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...closure-46892/

He is highly recommended and does really good quality work keeping in mind budget, use and Florida weather.
