Absolutely. We manage the entire permitting process for you, including structural engineering plans, county permit applications, and all required inspections. Our experience with Southwest Florida building codes ensures a smooth approval process.

A new installation involves building the complete aluminum framework and screen system from the ground up, requiring permits and engineering. Rescreening replaces just the screen material on an existing, structurally sound frame. We can assess your current enclosure and recommend whether repair, rescreening, or new installation is the best solution.

We provide a 1-year workmanship warranty on all new pool cage installations, covering our installation workmanship, structural integrity, and proper screen installation. Screen materials are additionally covered by the manufacturer's warranty. This gives you complete peace of mind on your investment.

Whether you need to work around existing landscaping, accommodate unusual dimensions, or integrate with existing structures, our design team creates solutions tailored to your property.

Pool cage installation costs typically range from $15,000 to $50,000+ depending on size, screen type, and design complexity. Our Build & Price tool provides instant ballpark estimates, and we offer free on-site consultations for detailed quotes. Financing options are available upon request in some cases.

Individual panel repairs range from $75-$150 per panel depending on size and screen type. Full rescreening projects are priced by square footage, typically $1.75-$2.70 per sq ft. We offer free estimates for all repair work, and bundle discounts are available when replacing multiple panels.

18/14 mesh is our standard option providing good visibility and insect protection. 20/20 mesh offers finer weave for better small insect protection. Glas-Shield provides enhanced privacy and PetScreen is stronger than standard screen, ideal for homes with pets. We help you choose based on your priorities for visibility, durability, and budget.

Regular maintenance includes: rinsing screens with a garden hose quarterly to remove pollen and debris, checking for loose screws annually, inspecting screens for small tears before they expand, and scheduling professional pressure washing every 2-3 years. Proper maintenance can extend your screen life from 10-15 years to 15-20 years.

Quality aluminum framing can last 30-50+ years in Florida's humid, salt-air environment when properly maintained. Our aluminum is specifically engineered for coastal conditions with corrosion-resistant finishes. The screens typically need replacement every 10-20 years, but the structural aluminum framework is built to last decades.

A pool cage specifically encloses a swimming pool area with screening on all sides and roof. A lanai typically refers to a covered porch or patio area, which may be fully screened, partially screened, or just covered. Both use similar aluminum framing systems, but pool cages have specific engineering requirements due to the pool proximity.

We're experienced working with HOA regulations throughout Southwest Florida. We'll review your HOA's architectural guidelines and ensure our design meets all requirements before starting.
