A client from Cape Coral called us this week to restore their pool cage.

When Ms. Corridori saw that her enclosure had rusty fasteners and chipped paint, she knew it was time to get it restored. She called us and availed our Value Restoration Package, which includes a repaint, re-screen, and fastener replacement using different materials to lower the project cost.

After covering the pool and deck area, we got started on the project. First, we replaced the rusty fasteners with 4000hr ceramic-coated steel. Our client wanted to change the color of their pool cage from white to bronze, and the paint we used was bronze acrylic paint, which is water-based and corrosion-resistant.

Lastly, we replaced the screen with Standard Phifer 18/14 throughout the enclosure. This mesh can withstand thunderstorm force winds for 3 years. All screens are durable when it’s newly installed, but this screen will only be easily tearable from a regular storm after 7 years.

Our client was very happy with her brand-new looking pool cage! She can now enjoy the area without seeing orange spots or dirty white beams.
