This week, we restored a pool enclosure in Bonita Springs. After Mr. Mohan saw our enclosure restoration projects online, he called us to make his pool cage look brand new again. This is what his old pool cage looked like:

It had rusty fasteners, chipped paint, moldy frames, and looked like an eyesore. He availed of our Value Restoration Package, which includes rescreening, repainting, and replacing the fasteners using different materials to lower the cost of the project.

We headed on-site and the first thing we did was to cover the pool and deck with plastic to avoid getting debris or paint on it. Next, we stripped and disposed of the old mesh and replaced all the fasteners with ceramic coated steel. 

Before we started repainting, we first thoroughly cleaned and intricately prepped the enclosure for a lasting finish and to avoid overspray. We repainted using the same color, meticulously applying Sherwin Williams DTM Tough Trim, which can withstand the harsh Florida sun and other outdoor elements. Lastly, we screened the entire structure with Standard Phifer 18/14. This mesh can withstand strong thunderstorm force winds for some time over 10 years. All screens are durable when it’s newly installed, but this mesh will only be easily tearable from a regular storm after 7 to 15 years.

We completed this project in one week. Our client is glad that his pool cage looks brand new again and he doesn’t have to look at rusty fasteners, moldy frames, and chipped paint anymore.
