Good morning all,
I tried to search for comments about changing the rear double slider to a larger opening 3 panel patio door. The few posts I found were from way back. Just got some quotes for enclosing my small CYV lanai , over 17K, and think spending money on the sliders would be money better spent. We fortunately have a nice golf course view and this would enhance the view nicely. Any recommendations? Thanks, Marty |

As for recommendations, neighbors have used T&D for this type of work with very nice results, but I understand you will wait weeks to months just for the initial meeting.

Look at the option to have the new sliders be stackable.
Requires a slightly different track configuration but easy while your at some amount of re-construction anyway. Gives a much more expansive view when open. |

Thanks Tinker, You have been a trusted source for my past questions. I was trying to avoid T&D for the reasons you stated.

We used Blackburn construction. In addition, we raised the height of the sliders and the height of the lanai ceiling as well as removing the center post on the lanai to give a great, unobstructed view.

They do a lot of work in the Villages. Much smaller thanT&D. PM me if you want additional information.

Having recently had a 3 panel added as part of an addition to our block/stucco CYV, it's somewhat of a big deal. The current lintel is poured and supported by poured columns on either side of the door. I'm not sure what the code was, but now the rebar has to run through both poured columns and be anchored in the footer, which means that the footers would probably have to be re-poured too. Maybe it can be bored out and epoxied in. Anyway, my point is, it's some jackhammering and concrete re-pouring. Our slider took well over 4 months to arrive. Not sure how they are doing now, expect the worst as far as materials though. |

Difference of our view of the golf course. There was no structural change needed. They did use a subcontractor for the addition of the larger opening and I don’t remember who it was. We did just use T&D again to replace our 12 year old lanai screen. Waited A littlle over a month. Worth wait with them as we have always trusted them to Do everything required. |

Kevin Blackburn is awesome! He changed a window for a door for us last year. We were very happy
