This week, we did another full re-screen and it was for a client in Naples.

Mr. Gandolfo noticed that his screens were getting tears. It’s probably old, that’s why he hired us to replace the screen throughout his enclosure. If you want to see what an old screen looks like, check it out here.

We head on to his home and got to work. We re-screened all panels and used Standard Phifer 18/14. This mesh is durable and can withstand strong gusts of wind for 3 years. Similar to all screens, it gets weaker with age. After 7 years, this screen will be easily tearable from a regular storm. So make sure to get a full re-screen when the time comes!

We also used Florida Glass to replace the screen below the chair-rail. This screen is water-resistant and vinyl-laminated, which gives our client a little more privacy while keeping out dirt and debris.

Our client is glad that we completed his project in less than two days. Here he is with his pool cage with new and durable screens!
