Mainly because knowledge is power. It's very helpful to have a good idea of what the price should be before you start asking contractors. It also helps you make up your mind if you even want to get a quote based on what others have paid. I find the advice and experiences shared by other Villagers to very beneficial to my decisions, and very much thank everyone who shared their experience, along with an estimate.
Thanks to all who responded, your input is greatly appreciated!!!

Anyone add a golf cart garage to existing home. Cost? Fearful of getting ripped off or bad construction. Looking for feedback

$38,000 includes leveling of Lanai floor.

[Nevinmann]

There are several levels of enclosures. I think it would be best to put an enclosure in that matches the relative value of your property. e.g. a $30k lanai would be inappropriate in a manufactured home. We had D&C do our lanai. They were very competitive with price. Remember there is probably one factory in FL that produces most of the enclosure material. So, what you shop for is quality of the installer and price.

Beautiful Job!!





I like the illusion of real transom windows above the lanai entrance with those framed windows. Where did you find those?

[RMarkland]

Our cost was in the $11,000 range for a low fixted glass wall, and sliders above with screens, the end wall was floor to ceiling sliders. Make sure that you have drainage out side the new walls. Also the floor treatment can run you another 1-2 thousand if you want other than present concrete. Insulatoin of ceiling is a must another $450, and then climate control. You should be able to get a package unit for $4,000 if you show around. Getting cooling or heating air from the home is not going to do the job you want.

Thank you all so much. I did want an idea before I shopped. I am trating husband from an inheritance so no heart attacks forth coming. Its his man cave, not living space. I just want to block out dust and cold/heat. Fine with cement floors but want to be able to open windows. I am sure I will get an estimator who will insist I don't know what I want as I am a woman. Again thank you for the ideas and estimates, I don't like sticker shock

For sure, single pane does not give you much insulating value if any at all, does not do much for ultraviolet rays that can damage your furniture and they do not hold up well in hurricane winds. If you have a hinged door with full length glass they also tend to shatter. But on the brighter side you don't have to worry about the seals leaking and getting fogged on the inside. If you think about it, when is the last time you saw a single pane window in a house, there is a reason for that.

Custom Windows of Leesburg has been recommended on TOTV for many years for their work. I believe they have about 20 crews working at anyone time. The Sunflower is a designer home, I just looked up the floorplan and for reference the lanai is 19 x 14, that's good size, so $7900 was an excellent price.

To answer the off topic question about adding a golf cart garage. We have an Amarillo and put a 2 car golf cart garage where the planting area in front of the house was. Done by Demetri in 2016 for about 18000

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.

Shocked at some of the prices I see. Within the last year 9x23 was $7,500. Single pane with a swinging door and new screen. Keep in mind you will want A/C for the summertime. Very happy.

Our glass came from Texas.

Ours is on the smaller size, a triple on the end, 2 doubles on the back and a new, real nice door. We used Cook Aluminum and it was about $5400.
