This week, we completed a pool cage restoration and picture window conversion project for a client in Naples. Mr. Macdonald wanted to make his enclosure look brand new again, so he called us to get the job done.

He availed the Lifetime Restoration Package, which includes re-screening, replacing the fasteners with lifetime warranty stainless steel tapcons with finish, and repainting using High solids Polyurethane 2 part epoxy far better than any factory – which are all top of the line material industry. For the picture window conversion, he chose the Gold Clearview Conversion, so all sides of his enclosure were re-engineered.

Before we started with the conversion and restoration process, we first needed to prepare the permits and work on the engineering and site plans. After doing more than a hundred pool enclosure projects, we can efficiently get this process done and get permits faster than anyone else.

We headed on-site after acquiring the permits. We were able to convert all walls of the existing pool cage to clear view using new vertical posts, dramatically increasing the structural integrity. We also upgraded all the doors into phat frame clear view ones for a seamless look and the ultimate view.

Next, we continued with the restoration process. We got rid of the old and rusty fasteners and replaced them with Blue-tap Nylotech and Stainless Pro-Tect Tapcons. For the paint, we used bronze Sherwin Williams Hi-Solids Polyurethane, which was sprayed on electrostatically and meticulously to withstand the harsh Florida sun and other outdoor elements. We then re-screened the entire enclosure with Superscreen. This is three times stronger than the standard screen and can withstand strong gusts of wind even when installed in large openings. This is suitable for this enclosure which has fewer frames blocking the view.

It took us less than two weeks to complete this job. Now, our client can enjoy the view without frames blocking it. He also won’t have to worry about pesky bugs, rusty fasteners, damaged screens, chipped paint, or moldy frames anymore.
