Because screen enclosures are exposed to natural elements like the heat of the sunlight and moisture from the rain, there will come a time that it will need to be restored or even replaced. Moreover, sometimes pressure washing the dirt accumulated or even the mildew in your enclosures will not be enough to maintain it. That is why we have our re-screening service.

For this client from Naples, that time has come for their pool enclosure. They requested for us to replaced the screens for the whole structure. For this project, we did not just focus our attention on the screens. We also replaced some parts of the enclosure which needed replacement for it to last longer. Specifically, we replaced the fasteners with blue-tap stainless fasteners and the tapcons. 

The doors also needed replacement because it has been worn out over time. For the re-screen of the enclosure we used the Super screen 17/20. This screen is able to keep out the tiniest of insects such as the no-see-ums. Also, it is designed for strength and durability and unlike other regular screens, this screen does not break down or become brittle when exposed to the sun’s heat.

This project gave the screen enclosure a better overall appearance. More importantly, it provided durability to the enclosure and a better protection against dirt, debris, and insects because of the newly installed screens.
