Does your pool cage have rusty fasteners, damaged screens, chipped paint, or frames obstructing the view?

Check out this pool cage we restored and re-engineered in Estero. Mr. Kasper wanted to make his enclosure look brand new again and get rid of the flames blocking the view, so he called us to get the job done.

He availed of the Value Restoration Package, which includes replacing the fasteners, repainting the entire enclosure, and re-screening using standard industry materials to lower the cost of the project. For the picture window, he availed of the Gold Clearview Conversion, so we re-engineered all sides of the structure.

Before we started with either 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.

After acquiring the permits, we headed on-site. For this picture window, we converted all walls of the existing screen enclosure to clear view by using new vertical posts, dramatically increasing the structural integrity. We also upgraded the doors into phat frame clear view doors for a seamless look.

We then continued with the restoration process. After removing and disposing of the rest of the mesh, we replaced all old and rusty fasteners with ceramic coated steel. Next, we repainted the entire with Sherwin Williams DTM Tough Trim, which was meticulously applied to withstand the harsh Florida sun and other outdoor elements. Lastly, we screened it in with Standard Phifer 18/14, a mesh that 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.

It took us less than two weeks to complete this project. Now, our client can enjoy his brand new-looking and insect-free pool cage while looking at an unobstructed view.
