The weather finally begins to cool off as we transition to the fall season. Unlike other states, we don’t experience the same cooled-off fall, but we do get some nice breeze.

That’s why more clients want to get their front entryway screened-in. They want to let the wind go in without worrying about insects following inside their homes.

But it also feels like it’s still summer in our sunshine state. Homeowners can still have fun in their pools, so we also got calls to re-screen their damaged mesh. The days would probably get shorter but you will still be able to enjoy swimming under the Florida sun.

Check out our featured projects this week to learn more about what we did for our clients in Southwest Florida.

Replacing Aged Screen on a Condominium in Naples

For our first project in Naples this week, a client called us to fix a screen problem.

Check out the photo on the left. Sometimes this happens because of heavy impact, sometimes the screen is too old. The screen becomes brittle after a long time that wind pressure is enough to tear it at the seam. It looks like it was pulled out, but it’s just the aged screen.

So our efficient crew went to the site and replace it in a couple of hours. Our client doesn’t have to worry about bugs invading their home anymore.

Rescreening a Pool Enclosure in Naples

As we transition to fall, a lot of our clients this week asked us to re-screen their pool enclosures.

Mr. Meyers saw our website when he was looking for a pool cage screen replacement. He called us and we scheduled his project. Instead of replacing panel by panel, he had us replace all the screens. It was actually going to be more expensive to replace per panel for one project as well as in the long run. We went to the site and replaced all the screens of his enclosure with Standard Phifer 18/14. 

He also asked us to screen-in this area. Here’s a before and after photo of this newly screened-in structure. We were able to complete these in less than two days. Our client won’t have to worry about the wind pressure damaging his screens and he has a new insect-free area that he can relax in.

Installing a Front Entryway in Estero

Now that fall is here, clients call us to get their front entryway screened-on.

Our client from Estero, Ms. Goss, wanted to leave the door open to let the wind go in. But since she didn’t have screens, insects kept entering her home. After she saw our front entryway installation projects on Facebook, she called us about the designs. She opted for a simple and functional design with upgraded Phat Frame Door. This door has a heavy-duty frame so it doesn’t need a middle horizontal member. For the screens, we used Superscreen 14/16.

Our efficient crew finished this project in less than a day. Ms. Goss can now enjoy a nice breeze without worrying about insects.

Quick Service Call in Fort Myers

We headed to Fort Myers this week to respond to a service call.

Ms. Wherry called us because she needed to repair her pool enclosure’s screens. Check out the damages on the left side of the photo. It’s possible the tear happened due to heavy impact. Someone might have accidentally pushed the chair too far back.

Our client was glad that we were able to quickly replace the screens is less than a day. She can now go back to enjoying her pool without worrying about insects (or even animals!) entering her pool area.
