This week, a client from Naples hired us to maximize the view and make their pool cage look new again. After Mr. Green saw our enclosure restoration and picture window conversion projects on Facebook, he called us to do his project. 

Here is what his old pool cage looks like. The fasteners were rusty, there were stains, and the paint was fading. For his project, he availed our Value Restoration Package, so we re-screened, replaced the fasteners, and repainted the entire cage using different materials which lowered the cost of the project. He also added our Bronze Picture Window Conversion Package, which includes re-engineering a part of the front wall for maximum view.

Before we could work on-site, we first had to prepare the necessary permits, engineering, and site plans. We’ve done more than a hundred of pool enclosure projects, so we can efficiently get this process done, allowing us to get permits faster than anyone else. We mostly prefabricate the frames in our shop, and once everything is settled, we head to the client’s home.

The first step is covering the deck and pool with plastic to prevent getting paint or debris on it. After finishing the picture window conversion project, we move on to the restoration. Next, we remove the screens so we can easily replace the fasteners with the durable 4000hr ceramic-coated steel. We then painted the entire structure with acrylic paint, which is water-based and corrosion-resistant. Lastly, we screened all the panels with Standard Phifer 18/14. 

Our efficient crew was able to complete this project in two weeks. Mr. Green can now enjoy his brand new-looking pool cage without having to worry about orange stains, bugs, or upgrades for a long time.
