Our first project in Naples this week is a screen enclosure replacement.

Mr. Simone saw that we replace under-truss lanai screen enclosures on our Facebook page. He called us to fix the screen and change the framing of his enclosure. The photo on the left shows the old structure – with the damaged screen and framing obstructing his view.

The first thing we did was to replace the old framing and vertical supports that were structural members of the roof. Since this under-truss lanai was structural, we had to use a jack (similar to what is used for cars) and a long piece of metal to support the roof while we slide in the new member. After, we replaced the screens with Superscreen. Our client’s enclosure looks brand new and we removed the frames to maximize his view.
