Old Enclosures will only last you for so long, especially if to start with, the materials used building it were low or mid-grade. If you notice that the screws or the aluminum panels of your enclosure are getting rusty, it may be time to have yours restored or else it’ll just get worse.

This homeowner from Bonita Springs had their enclosure for quite a while. And because of the usual wear and tear as well as the inevitable damages caused by Florida weather they had us repair and restore theirs.

So for this restoration, our client availed the lifetime restoration (which we highly recommend). This package includes repainting of the aluminum structure in bronze. This step makes the old enclosure appear new and polished. Specifically, we used Sherwin Williams Hi-Solids Polyurethane which was sprayed on electrostatically.

We also re-screened the whole structure with Superscreen 17/14. Now this is a very important step in restoring the enclosure. You might think that a little tear in your screen mesh is insignificant but rest assured, that’ll swiftly turn into a big one. Having it replaced even when the problem doesn’t seem like a big deal will save you from that headache in the future.

Moreover, we replaced all the fasteners with Blu-tap Stainless and Pro-Tec Tapcons. This made sure that the integrity of the structure was restored. It’s very important to tend not only to the appearance of the enclosure but most especially to its sturdiness. 

If you are seeking to have yours done, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We have our professional and friendly staff members to assist you with your inquiries. We will also give you a free quote to help you make a sound decision with regards to your project.
