Do you want an enclosure that complements your patio area? Check out this enclosure we restored for a client in Cape Coral. Ms. Lundt wanted to make her pool cage look brand new again, so she hired us for an enclosure restoration project.

Take a look at her old pool enclosure. She availed our Value Restoration Package, so we replaced the fasteners, repainted, and rescreened the entire structure with different materials to lower the cost of the project.

Before we started, we first covered the pool and deck area with plastic. We then removed the screens so we can efficiently change the fasteners and paint the frames. Check out the photo above. In the after photo, you’ll see the new fasteners, which are 10,000 hr ceramic-coated steel, that we installed. Next, we repainted the entire structure with Sherwin Williams DTM Tough Trim. This made the enclosure look brand new again, and we used extra paint for protection. Lastly, we installed Standard Phifer 18/14 throughout the cage. All screens are durable when they are newly installed, but this mesh can withstand thunderstorm force winds for around 10 years. It will only be easily tearable from a regular storm after 7 to 15 years.

We completed this project in less than a week. Our client is glad that their pool enclosure looks brand new again and looks great with their patio. With the materials we used, they also won’t have to worry about upgrading for a long time.
