Do you suddenly find bugs in your pool area? Or are there leaves and other debris getting inside? You probably have damaged screens! When screens are over 10 years old, the mesh can easily get damaged even during a normal windy day. That’s why this week, a client from Naples called us to re-screen their entire enclosure.

Ms. Moda noticed that several screens of her pool cage had holes and tears in it, so she called us to replace them. But instead of changing a few panels, she opted to get all the screens replaced. This was also going to be less expensive than replacing per panel for one project and in the long run.

Our client chose Standard Phifer 18/14, a mesh that can withstand strong thunderstorm force winds for some time over 10 years. All screens are durable when it’s newly installed, but this screen will only be easily tearable from a regular storm after 7 to 15 years.

We completed this project in less than two days. Now, our client won’t have to worry about bugs invading her pool area nor getting an upgrade for a long time.
