This week, we made a pool cage in Estero look brand new again. After Mr. Alves saw our enclosure restoration project online, he called us to restore his pool cage. This is what his old enclosure looked like:

It had rusty fasteners, chipped paint, damaged screens, and discolored frames. He didn’t want it to look like an eyesore anymore, so he availed of 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. 

We headed on-site, and before we started working, we converted the pool and deck area with plastic to prevent getting any paint or debris on it. We removed and disposed of old mesh, and then replaced the fasteners. To ensure the structural longevity and integrity of the enclosure, we upgraded old and rusty fasteners to Blue-tap Nylotech and Stainless Pro-Tect Tapcons. Next, we meticulously applied bronze Sherwin Williams Hi-Solids Polyurethane by spraying it on electrostatically, allowing it to withstand the harsh Florida sun and other outdoor elements. Lastly, we re-screened all panels with Superscreen. This mesh is three times stronger than the standard screen and can withstand strong wind pressure for a long time. 

It took us one week to complete this project. After our restoration process, this enclosure now looks brand new again. Our client is glad that he won’t have to look at rusty fasteners, damaged screens, or discolored frames anymore.
