Built for Florida pools

A pool cage does three jobs: it keeps insects and yard debris out of the water, it cuts the harsh midday sun, and it turns the pool deck into usable space you can actually sit in during summer. We build ours with heavy-gauge aluminum framing and tight-weave screening, engineered to the wind-load requirements for your exact address.

Every enclosure starts with an on-site measure. We draw the structure, pull the county permit, and install with corrosion-resistant fasteners rated for coastal air. When the last panel is splined in, we walk the whole cage with you before we call it done.

Repairs, rescreens, and replacements

We also take care of existing cages: pool cage repair after storms, pool screen replacement panel by panel, and full rescreens when the mesh has gone brittle. If the frame is sound we will tell you a rescreen is all you need. If it is not, we will show you why.

Common questions

How long does a pool enclosure installation take?

Most residential pool cages go up within days once permits are approved and materials arrive. The permit itself is usually the longest part of the timeline, and we handle that paperwork for you.

Do I need a permit for a pool cage in Florida?

Yes. Screen enclosures are engineered structures and every county in our service area requires a permit with wind-load calculations. We pull the permit and schedule the inspections as part of the job.

How long does pool cage screening last?

Quality screen mesh typically lasts 10 to 15 years in Florida sun before it gets brittle. Coastal homes see shorter life on the ocean side. We rescreen with UV-rated mesh that holds up.

Can you repair just one damaged panel?

Yes. Single-panel pool screen replacement is one of our most common service calls. We match the existing mesh so the repair does not stand out.

Does a pool enclosure add value to my home?

In Florida it is one of the improvements buyers actively look for. A screened pool reads as less maintenance and more usable space, and appraisers treat a permitted enclosure as real square footage of outdoor living.
