Could someone give me an estimate of what it costs to glass enclose a screened in lanai? I want to have it done for my husband for his birthday.
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.

We just had it done but our lanai is 30 ft long and did get double pained glass.

We used Custom Windows and happy with the job.

You are best to get estimates from the companies that do the enclosures but my guess for a 9 x 15 with quality double pane windows would be $11,000 to $14,000 depending on who you use and how good their product is.

There are two who do it. I highly recommend the insulated glass.

We chose Elite Lifestyles.

It cost $30,000. They also insulated the ceiling above it and painted the entire interior of the room. The ceilings are 12 foot tall and the glass is oversized. 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.

Congratulations - You are one the the few that actually answered the question when someone asks "can you give me an estimate". 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 ?

I recently had my 8 x 15 foot lanai enclosed with double pane glass sliders. I used Custom Vinyl Systems (352-237-3088) and am extremely happy. Cost was just shy of $10,000.

Sorry did not think it was anyone's business than ours what we paid for it. Not to mention it had some custom features that drove up the price.

Thought I was being helpful by giving you a good company to get an estimate on.

Sorry you do not feel that way.

I'm surprised how much prices have jumped in the last five years. The owner of CVS (Custom Vinyl Systems) lived in our villas until about five years ago. He did about 25 of the 80 villas in our community and that time a 8'X14' lanai enclosed with double pane sliders was $5700 to $6200.

If you double it up less than 15%

Does any rain water come in at all?

Do you have screens somewhere?

[biker1]

Three years ago, our price was $11K. This was for a 30x15 lanai with double pane windows with screens, door, concrete block knee wall on one side with outlets, and insulation above the ceiling. I believe, based on friends who have done similar things recently, that you will find that prices have increased significantly.

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 was comparing the price to the poster who had also used CVS and had a similar size lanai, $5700 vs $10,000.

I want an estimate which was why I asked. Thank you to those who answered but appreciate the recommendation

Probably about $10,000
