I had mine 10 x 17 finished up last month by Custom Windows of Leesburg. The cost of Windows and Doors for 3 "walls" (including installation and permitting) was $14,500. I had tile floor ($2300), mini-split AC ($3000) , exterior Coolaroo Shades ($450). I used Custom Windows of Leesburg based on all the highly favorable comments I've seen on this site. However, based on my experience using them I can not recommend them whatsoever. I had to get them to come back multiple times to correct a combination of poor installation practices and defective manufacture items. They finally got it done to satisfaction, but getting to that point took more persistence on my side than anyone would think should be necessary.

Yes prices way up . I did mine single pain 34 ft of glass for 5,000 10 years ago my neighbor did his last year for 10,000. Keep in mind you may have to also paint your walls or raise your floor for a few thousand more. I used single pain. Yes it's a little cooler or hotter in the Summers and I now wish I used double but it's really not a big deal

We used Custom Windows about 5 years ago. Our lanai is larger and single pane windows cost about $8500. Very happy with them.
Beware - our friends used another company snd their windows cannot pivot to wash the outside. They have to use a chemical bottle attached to a hose to try to clean the outside through the screens. They were never told this when they got their sales pitch. Nit a good option!

I understand its double for double pane vs single. I understand the.benefits of double vs single pane. Its about a 9 by 15, a typical size in the villages.
Got 3 estimates......from $6800-$9500. We have an Iris....not extended or anything. Single pane. We were told we really didn’t need the double pane because we weren’t going to turn it into additional living space, we just wanted to use it as a lanai. If we wanted to put the mini split dehumidifier/air conditioner out there it would be cheaper to just buy that as opposed to putting in double pane glass.

We just had our 10x15 done with Simonton double pane windows from First Choice, in the $10,000 range but well worth it.

Just had our done $13,995. Double pane, insulated ceiling and we didn't want glass all the way to the ground, so we have beadboard for bottom 24 inches. Glass door and light sensor for outside.

Just be sure to do your homework to determine the need for double VS single pane as there is a significant difference in pricing. It is a unique decision to your use and expectations.

We do not need any additional air conditioning. It is a little cool in there now for me, but the rest of the year even with sun setting in the west which is the main section, it is quite comfortable.
Looks fabulous Gracie. You know how to live!

we had an estimate to redo our lanai from push up vinyl windows to sliders and it came in at $15,000!! Just had the vinyl replaced - sold the house - then bought one with existing sliders that is heated and cooled. Good luck it is not cheap
