If you have been following our featured projects for the past couple of months, you can see how many people are having their screen enclosures converted into picture windows. This is because of a number of reasons, but one that you can tell straight ahead is that it looks amazing.

For this particular clear view conversion of a screen enclosure for a homeowner in Naples, we first removed the existing one and built a new structure to the original blueprint. Here is how it looked like before the new structure was installed...

 After building the structure, we did a couple more things. For the roof, we installed a Half Mansard roof-type and then added a 7” super gutter. The whole structure was in bronze, which made the enclosure look real classy.

For the picture window conversion, we configured the panels and removed the horizontal ones. Then, we used 17/20 Tiny Insect Mesh (with 10 year warranty), which helped to maintain the wide view display of the picture window and at the same time, kept tiny bugs from pestering the homeowners when relaxing in their pool area. For a comprehensive picture window design, we also installed 3 36” x 80” clear view doors.

One of the important things that sets our service apart from other screen enclosure companies is that we always have the best people for the job, including this project. We have a dedicated project manager that will take care of everything that goes into completing the project. We also have the most hardworking and nicest crew that always bring professionalism to every project that we get.
