There’s roughly 2 months before the summer… That means it’s almost time for family lunches and bonding time by the pool at home.

At least for our client’s family in Bonita Springs, their pool area is ready for endless hangout time, family barbecues, and just for daily outdoor lounging. They had a good view on the front of their pool enclosure, but the vertical members are sometimes distracting.

Not to mention, the pool enclosure wasn’t the most visually appealing… The fasteners were rusting, the white paint was oxidized from the brutal sun’s rays over the years, and the screens weren’t the cleanest nor the sturdiest either.

With this restoration, we upgraded the materials of the pool enclosure, converted one wall into a picture window, and changed the color from white to bronze. It looked like we took out the entire enclosure and placed a completely new one in its place.

But of course, we did it more practically and for less than the actual price of a completely brand new enclosure.

We first processed the permit for this project. We made sure the main load bearing wall is updated to the current building code. We also took care of engineering the new picture window wall to be installed.

We used bigger fasteners for better strength and connection of the aluminum members, repainted the rest of the structure that we didn’t replace into bronze, and re-screened with Superscreen 17/14.

Our clients were happy with the end result. It may take a while to get used to, since the entire appearance of the enclosure changed, but that means our clients get to wake up to something exciting in their home everyday.

Now they’re ready to host their kids and grandkids during the summer and enjoy the outdoors without leaving the safety of their home.
