Screen enclosures protect your pool from dirt, leaves, and debris, but it also needs its own maintenance for it to last longer. Over time the screen enclosure will develop mildew and it needs to be pressure washed for it to be clean again.

We cannot also disregard the fact that after being exposed to heat and rain for a long time, it will soon tear out. It may need to be repaired or replaced for it to do its job which is to protect the pool. However, sometimes a little cleaning might not do the job. 

RESTORATION PROCESS

In this project we made a complete restoration for the screen enclosure in Fort Myers. We wanted to refurbish it to restore its appearance as if it was brand new. We did a couple of adjustments on the screen enclosure. For starters, we included repainting the aluminum structure.

For the paint, we used Sherwin Williams Hi-Solids Polyurethane which made the old enclosure look new. To make the structure stronger, we also replaced all fasteners with stainless steel fasteners and stainless Pro-Tect Tapcons. We also repainted the soffit but we did not change the old color of it, it remained bronze. Lastly, two new doors were also installed to finish the restoration. 

AFTER

The restoration surely gave the screen enclosure a brand new look. We can assure that every penny spent on this project will be worth it . We are confident that it will last for a long time especially if it is well maintained by the owner.
