Pool cage restoration is a comprehensive process designed to renew an existing enclosure's structural integrity and aesthetics without the cost of a full replacement. It typically involves replacing old screens, upgrading rusted fasteners, and repainting the aluminum frame.
KEY BENEFITS & COST
- Significant Savings: Restoration typically costs 40% to 70% less than a full replacement.
- Average Cost: Most standard projects range from $5,000 to $10,000.
- Extended Lifespan: A well-restored cage can last another 25 years, matching the lifespan of a new enclosure.
- Improved Safety: Replacing rusted fasteners with marine-grade stainless steel or nylon-headed screws (like Nylo-tech) restores the structure's original wind capacity
Restoration Process Steps
- Preparation: The old screen and spline are removed, and the pool and deck are covered with protective plastic.
- Hardware Upgrade: Rusted screws are replaced with new 304 marine-grade stainless steel or Nylo-tech fasteners to prevent future corrosion.
- Surface Cleaning & Sanding: The aluminum frame is power washed and sanded to remove oxidation and ensure paint adhesion.
- Painting: Specialized paints, such as
Sherwin-Williams DTM
(Direct-To-Metal) or marine-grade coatings, are applied in two coats.
- Rescreening: New mesh is installed using new spline. Options include standard
Phifer 18/14
mesh, heavy-duty Tuff-screen, or Florida Glass for privacy.
