Was that recent?

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.

I don't know how you would expect to get any kind of relevant numbers for enclosing your lanai by anyone other than the vendor. There are so many options and installers out there to contact and share your wants and needs. About the only take away from these posts are a few vendors to contact.

I knew my only want for my enclosure was to keep out the dirt, rain and wind. Single pane glass was what I used since I wasn't heating and cooling. The sliders are easy to remove if needed for a good cleaning. The lanai is 9x20 and was approximately $6200 and gives so much more flexibility....very happy with my decision. So here's another name to pursue. John Hill Aluminum (352)753-1701

I asked to get an idea of cost. Could have been $2,000 or $30,000. How would I know if a bid was reasonable or not? Kelly Blue Book? Yes. The answers with cost are really helpful in pursuing this idea. If you don't like the question and are looking for an argument, look elsewhere. Thank you to the reply that asked why people reply but don't answer the question. Smart person and the rest, thank you so much for your help.

Don't understand the responses that answer with use this outfit or here is pictures of mine but never disclose the dollar amount they paid. Was that not the primary question ?

You are welcome. Looks to me by the abundance of responses here you are in the $6K - $9K range for the plain vanilla job. Good Luck.
