02 — What Matters
What Titan brings to Sanibel Island homeowners.
Every project is engineered for Southwest Florida — coastal exposure, code, and the standard our clients hold us to.
Screened lanai → year-round living room
Convert your existing Sanibel Island lanai into a fully enclosed, air-conditioned, hurricane-rated space you can use in July heat and January cold snaps alike.
Impact-rated glass — no shutters needed
Laminated impact glass sliders and picture windows engineered for Florida wind-borne debris standards. No plywood, no shutters, no pre-storm prep.

HVAC + electrical extended properly
Mini-split or ducted HVAC extension, GFCI circuits, lighting, and outlets planned into the enclosure at design stage — not retrofit later.
Existing roof + structure reinforced
Lanai roof, columns, and tie-downs upgraded to current Florida Building Code wind loads for Sanibel Island's exposure category.
HOA-approvable, coastal-grade finishes
Frame colors, glass tint, and slider profiles matched to your community's architectural review requirements.

08 — Common Questions
Questions Sanibel Island homeowners ask us.
What is involved in replacing lanai screens with impact windows in Sanibel Island, FL?
+
We assess the existing lanai structure, specify impact-rated sliders and windows, handle permits and engineering, and provide wind mitigation documentation. Adding a kneewall, HVAC, and electrical turns the lanai into a fully conditioned room.
How long does a lanai enclosure with impact windows take in Sanibel Island, FL?
+
Most Sanibel Island lanai enclosures run 6–14 weeks including permitting, depending on square footage, glass package, HVAC extension, and structural upgrades. Slider-only impact replacements are considerably faster.
Do I need a permit to enclose a screened lanai in Florida?
+
Yes. Converting a screened lanai to enclosed conditioned space is a structural and mechanical alteration that requires Lee County permits, wind-load engineering, and inspections. Titan handles all of it.
Will impact windows on my lanai lower my Florida insurance premium?
+
Yes — impact-rated openings typically reduce the wind portion of your homeowners premium by 20–45% once documented on an OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation form. Titan delivers the report to your carrier at close-out.
Which impact glass brands do you install on Sanibel Island lanais?
+
We spec PGT WinGuard, CGI Sentinel, and ES Windows for most Southwest Florida lanais — brand selection depends on Design Pressure requirements, HOA architectural rules, and finish preferences, not a preferred-vendor list.
How long does a Sanibel Island lanai enclosure take?
+
Design, engineering, HOA review, and Lee County permitting typically run 6–12 weeks. Construction runs 3–6 weeks depending on structural scope and glass lead times.
Can you add HVAC and electrical to the enclosed lanai?
+
Yes. A ductless mini-split or ducted extension of your existing system, plus GFCI circuits, lighting, ceiling fans, and outlets are all designed in at planning stage — not retrofit after the glass goes in.
Do you handle HOA approvals for lanai enclosures?
+
Yes. We prepare the architectural review package — drawings, glass and frame specifications, exterior finish samples — and manage submittal and revisions until approved by your Sanibel Island association.
