Sometimes pool enclosure screens get damaged accidentally. For our client in Estero, it wasn’t just their screen that had a tear but their steel cable was damaged as well.

Mr. and ms. Bradberry hired us to repair their steel cable that was accidentally cut by a hedge trimmer. Check out the damage in the photo above. This is the cable you see that runs diagonally in some pool enclosures and its purpose is for cross bracing.

Aside from fixing the steel cable, they also asked us to re-screen some of their panels with Standard Phifer 18/14 mesh while we were there. They’re happy that we were able to get all of this done in less than a day.
