For the second week of September, we went all over southwest Florida for multiple rescreening projects.

Homeowners either hired us to repair damages or re-screen some panels of their pool enclosure. For the repairs, clients usually have aged mesh that’s why they needed us to replace their screens. But this time, most of our clients had an incident – specifically, with a pool skimmer, hedge trimmer, and a rat.

Aside from our re-screen service, some of our clients also called us for a pool enclosure restoration and picture window conversion project.

Continue reading to find out more about our restoration and picture window projects and how we fixed the screens of our clients.

Quick Re-screen after an Incident in Estero

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.

Service Call to Replace a Panel of Screen

Another project we completed in Estero is replacing a section of a client’s pool cage.

Mr. Letson called us to replace a panel of screen on the high sidewall of his pool enclosure. See that tool? That’s a drill with a screwdriver on it. We used this to remove the hurricane cable running across the panel. You can also see the cable in the photo on the left.

Our client called us since he saw that we can get the job done in less than a day – and we did!

Fixing a Rat-Damaged Screen in Bonita Springs

Isn’t it annoying when you find a hole in your screen? Not just a small tear from the wind, but a large one.

A client in Bonita Springs was surprised when they saw this large hole at the corner of their screen panel. A rat was able to chew through their mesh and now, other pests can enter their home. Upon discovering, they called us to fix it since they saw we did screen panel replacement on our Facebook page. They were glad that they did since we were able to re-screen it in less than a day.

Pool Enclosure Restoration and Picture Window Conversion

When a client in Bonita Springs noticed that their enclosure’s frames were mossy, the paint was chipped, and the fasteners were rusty, they knew it was time for an upgrade.

This is the state of Mr. Longfield’s enclosure. That’s why after he saw our pool cage restoration projects on Facebook, he immediately called us to get it done on his. He also noticed that we had clients who got a restoration service along with a picture window conversion.

So he availed the conversion and our Lifetime Restoration package, which includes better materials that come with a longer warranty.

When we get on-site, we first cover the pool and deck with plastic to avoid getting debris and paint on it. We then remove the screens so it’s easier to replace the fasteners and paint the frames. The old fasteners were replaced with the Nylo-tec model that comes with a 10-year warranty. After, we used white electrostatic paint all over the enclosure. Once the paint dries, we re-screened all the panels with Superscreen 14/16 mesh.

It took our efficient crew less than a week to complete the job. We also re-engineered it to maximize the view. Doesn’t it look better without the frames?

Panel Re-screen in Naples

Even if it’s just one small tear, it’s still better to get it fixed. Otherwise, you’d see bugs flying around while you’re lounging or swimming.

Mr. Twigger hired us to re-screen one panel of his pool cage. The photo above shows the tear. It was damaged because the rod of a pool net poked it when someone was using it to clean his pool.

We quickly re-screened it in a few hours. To avoid getting small tears, you or someone you hired should be wary of the surroundings. Screens are also easily damaged if a patio furniture is leaning up against it. Check your enclosure now for any tears before bugs invade your pool area.

Rescreening a Section with Florida Glass and Standard Phifer

This week, a client called us to re-screen a section of his pool enclosure.

A client hired us to replace the screens below the chair rail and as well as the top. We used Florida Glass for the bottom area while we applied Standard Phifer 18/13 mesh for the panel above. Florida Glass is water-resistant and vinyl-laminated which gives our client a little more privacy and helps keep out dirt and debris.

Our client was glad that we completed this whole section in less than a day. We make sure to do it quickly and efficiently as not to disrupt our client’s lifestyle.

Pool Cage Restoration with Picture Window in Punta Gorda

A client in Punta Gorda was tired of frames obstructing his view.

Mr. Gray was browsing through Facebook when he saw our picture window conversion projects. He was surprised that the pool enclosure still had a screen since there were no more frames. He hired us to apply this design to his existing pool cage as well as a restoration project while we’re at it.

He availed our Lifetime Restoration package which includes materials that are better and have a longer warranty. We repainted his entire enclosure with Hi-solid Polyurethane with an electrostatic charge. For the fasteners, we replaced it with Nylo-tec, a fastener that comes with a 10-year warranty. Then we re-screened his entire pool cage with Superscreen 14/16.

We also re-engineered his pool cage to maximize the view. Here is what his enclosure looks like from the outside. At certain angles, it looks like it doesn’t have a screen.

Now here’s the view from the inside. It also features Mr. Gray with his brand-new looking pool cage. Wouldn’t you also enjoy a view like this better with a picture window?
