This week, we completed an enclosure restoration project for a client from Bonita Springs. After Ms. Einer saw that her pool cage had rusty fasteners and faded paint, she called us to make her enclosure look new again.

Here’s what her old pool cage looks like. Most of the fasteners were rusty and the white paint is starting to fade. To make it look new again, she availed our Lifetime Restoration Package which includes replacing the fasteners, repainting, and rescreening the entire structure with better materials that come with a longer warranty.

On the day of the project schedule, we head on to her home and first covered the pool and deck area with plastic to prevent getting any paint or debris on it. After, we remove the screens so it will be easier to replace the fasteners and repaint the entire structure. For the fasteners, we used Nylotec, which is the durable kind that comes with a 10-year warranty.

After replacing the fasteners, we repainted the old structure with white Hi-solid Polyurethane with an electrostatic charge. It’s more efficient to use this paint for metal surfaces, making sure that a white pool cage will look great for a long time. For the screens, we installed Superscreen 14/16. This is a durable mesh that can be installed on large openings while being able to withstand strong gusts of wind without tearing. It’s also 3x stronger than the standard screen!

Check out the results of our restoration process! It took us less than two weeks to get this job done. Our client can now enjoy her brand new-looking pool cage, and not have to worry about bugs or upgrades for a long time.
