It doesn’t take an interior design expert to figure out that making your space look bigger makes a difference in making it look nicer. That’s why mirrors and windows are ideal to add to any room. They widen and brighten up the space, which helps in making it feel less shabby.

The thing is, the same goes for your pool enclosure… You might not notice but a traditional pool cage can make you feel cramped. If you’ve had it for years, it also probably doesn’t help that you’re seeing rusted fasteners, damaged paint, and dirty screens on it.

We were just in Naples restoring and transforming an old pool enclosure that was having all the signs of wear and tear. Our client wanted us to perform our restoration service along with a picture window conversion.

We replaced the entire front wall of their enclosure into a clearview picture window. Much like the effect of a mirror, this type of screen wall makes any pool enclosure look bigger.

We made sure that the new wall adheres to the current building code. We secured the permits needed for it and also took care of engineering the new vertical posts that would be used. They’re made of solid material, which means they’ll stand sturdy against extreme weather conditions.

The restoration is a 3-step process of replacing the fasteners, repainting the structure, and re-screening the entire enclosure with Superscreen.

We’d been doing this combo service for several homeowners in the Southwest Florida area for years now, and we were able to finish this without much challenge at this point. We can give you a seamless journey to having a better pool enclosure.
