    Thank you Custom Windows for doing a wonderful job with helping with the design, installation and cleaning the windows. The sales personal, installers and window cleaning crew were friendly and professional. Having the lanai enclosed is giving us the extra space to entertain any time of the year. I love that I still have the ability to have open the windows and enjoy the fresh cool air. No more bringing in the cushions every time it rains, which is often in FL. No more pollen covering all of the floors and furniture during pollen season. I wish I had done this sooner. Thank you to the entire staff at Custom Windows.

    Custom Windows did a great job enclosing my lanai. I went with screens and sliding glass doors. The installers worked so hard in the brutal heat. I love that my lanai stays cleaner. Couldn't be happier!
    Response from the owner:Thank you so much for posting your satisfaction with all your experience throughout our Lanai enclosure process. We value your opinion.

    Very friendly staff, showroom, professionally done. All questions were answered thoroughly. Our cabana series glass is just what we wanted to enclose our screened lanai, love the extra room. The finished product was fairly priced and very well done. Only issue we had was all dates estimated were very low, four visits to office to encourage appointments and procedure to keep going. Mistakes, during ordering, turned our 7 to 8 week estimate into 11 then 15 weeks.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience and are saddened by the challenges experienced during your installation. Although this isn't typical, human mistakes can be made but we always strive to resolve all issues in the timeliness manner we have available through manufacturing and material availability.

    The thing we didn’t care for was our old enclosed porch was torn down for 5 weeks before the installation could take place. We had a tv, mini split and a fan that all had to be covered by 2 old ladies up on ladders. Two suggestions- either help cover those items but then also figure out a better plan than 5 weeks before installation takes place. Not happy and slightly agitated. Also this is our 2nd porch enclosure with your company.
    Response from the owner:We appreciate your feedback and understand it's not desired to have a already enclosed lanai open while custom sized new products are manufactured to fit your newly designed layout. Using our many years of experience, we assess each project to determine the best steps to provide each customer the best finished results. These expected processes are discussed upfront and openly during the designers consult and at time of initial measurements. We truly want the best outcome for each customer. We even offer draping screens around all openings to help limit wildlife from entering the area during the product manufacturing and delivery times. We are sincerely sorry you feel we missed the mark for your specific situation as most customers don't cover ceiling and high mounted fixture and items.

    We called Custom Windows to have our lanai windows and screens cleaned. Each time they have cleaned our windows, they have been extremely good, very professional and friendly. We love the work they do…especially that we don’t have to do it.

    Custom Windows and exterior design is one of the best businesses we have dealt with while living here in The Villages. Added glass sliding doors to lanai, They show up when they say they will finish the job when they say they will and give you quality products. we couldn’t be happier with our choice in using this company. Two of our neighbors recommended them and they hit the nail on the head. We also highly recommend them.
    Response from the owner:We are proud of our staff and our products. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Remodel of lanai was excellent. Kyle and crew did an awesome job with impeccable attention to detail. Window cleaners excellent as well. I only wish the storm door opened the way the previous one did. This one opens the opposite way but it usable as is.

    We were thrilled to work with Custom Windows and Exterior Design! From designing what our lanai would look like when enclosed to all the measurements to the windows and door, and the knee walls and the etc. and more. They were fun to work with, answered our questions, made wonderful suggestions and got it done. We are so happy with the result. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Highly recommend!

    I had the most satisfying experience from a window and door company that I have ever had. From the time that I visited the place of business. Custom Windows and Doors were so eager to help with my project. Custom Windows and Doors did an outstanding job and I will be doing more business with them in the near future. Custom Windows and Doors are a definite asset to the community of THE VILLAGES. Mike Culpepper

    We started this process in June of 2025. It has just been completed this month FEBRUARY OF 2026 so approximately 8 months. This company has been very responsive to issues with quality fixes. These issues were primarily due to supplier quality problems. Hopefully these issues will not be persistent for Custom in the future. Thanks to Custom’s team in working through the problems.

    Response from the owner:Thank you for the feedback and we appreciate you still giving us a relatively High star count. Unfortunately some of the situations with the manufacturer can sometimes prolong job timelines and isn't what we desire with our reputation. We continue to stand behind the product to provide quality and we sincerely hope that you're now able to fully enjoy your Lanai and relax with a "good life" feeling.

    Questions The Villages Homeowners Often Ask About Lanai Enclosures

    Choosing the right lanai enclosure begins with understanding your options. Here are a few questions The Villages homeowners often ask before starting their project.

    Yes. Custom Windows and Exterior Design helps The Villages homeowners create custom glass lanai enclosures that make outdoor spaces more comfortable, polished, and usable while preserving natural light and views.

    Many homeowners choose glass lanai enclosures, custom windows, or sliding glass doors to help reduce rain, dirt, pollen, insects, and harsh weather while keeping the space bright and connected to the outdoors.

    It depends on how you want to use the space. A screen lanai is helpful for airflow and insect control. A glass enclosed lanai can feel more finished and may offer added comfort, protection, and year-round usability.

    Many lanai enclosure projects may require permits or approvals depending on the scope of work. Custom Windows and Exterior Design helps manage permits and approvals as part of the process.

    The right choice depends on your priorities. Some homeowners want maximum airflow, while others prefer low-e glass, insulated glass, sliding glass doors, or select wind-rated options for added peace of mind.

    Yes. Custom Windows and Exterior Design offers energy-conscious options such as insulated glass and low-e glass depending on the selected product series.
