This week, we completed an enclosure restoration project for a client in Cape Coral. Mr. Kaus found our website when he was looking for a company to restore his pool cage. He called and availed our Lifetime Restoration Package, which includes re-screening, repainting, and replacing the fasteners with better materials that have a longer warranty.

Here is what his old pool cage looks like. The screen is covered with algae, making the enclosure look like an eyesore. To make it look like new again, we did our restoration process. The first thing we did was to cover his pool and deck with plastic. Next, we replaced all the fasteners with the Nylotec model, which is a durable fastener with a 10-year warranty.

After, we painted the structure with bronze Hi-solid Polyurethane with an electrostatic charge. This is an efficient paint to use on metal surfaces. Once it dried up, we rescreened all the panels with a Superscreen 17/20 or No-See-Um. It looks dark because it’s thicker and tighter than a standard screen, but no need to worry since it doesn’t change the outward visibility.

We also added Florida glass on the return walls for more privacy. This screen is water-resistant and vinyl-laminated which gives our client a little more privacy and helps keep out dirt and debris. Our efficient crew took one week to get this job done. This pool cage now looks brand new and will surely keep the bugs away!
