The things homeowners ask us most.
If your question isn't here, call us — a real person picks up and we're happy to talk through it before you commit to anything.
Do I have to rescreen the whole cage, or can you just fix the torn panels?
Either. If a few panels tore in a storm and the rest of the mesh still has life in it, we replace just those — it's far cheaper and we'll tell you when that's the smart call. But if the screen is brittle, faded and tearing in multiple spots, spot repairs become a treadmill; at that point a full rescreen costs less over five years. We'll give you both numbers and let you decide.
How long does a full pool cage rescreen take?
Most residential cages are a one- to two-day job depending on size, height and how much framing or hardware needs attention. We give you the timeline in the written quote, and we don't start a job we can't finish on schedule.
Can you help with an insurance claim after storm damage?
Yes. We document the damage with photos and measurements, itemize the scope in writing, and provide the paperwork your adjuster needs. We're not public adjusters and we don't handle the claim itself — but we make sure the contractor's side of the file is complete and defensible.
Is pressure washing safe on my roof and pavers?
Not the way most people mean it. Roofs get a low-pressure soft wash with a cleaning solution — high pressure strips granules off shingles and can crack tile. Pavers can take more pressure, but too much blasts out the joint sand, which is why we always re-sand afterward. Matching the method to the surface is most of the job.
How often should pavers be sealed in Florida?
Generally every two to three years, sooner on a pool deck that gets constant sun and chlorine. Sealing locks the joint sand, keeps weeds and ants out of the seams, and holds the color. If yours have never been sealed, we clean, re-sand and seal as one job.
How often do gutters need cleaning here?
Twice a year for most Florida homes — once before rainy season so the system is clear when it matters, once after so wet debris isn't sitting in the trough all winter. Under heavy tree cover, quarterly is more realistic.
Which screen mesh should I choose?
It depends on the lot and how long you plan to stay. Standard 18/14 fiberglass is the Florida default and the best value. Near water or woods, 20/20 no-see-um is worth it. With pets, use pet-resistant at least on the doors. If you're staying put, heavy-duty mesh outlives two standard rescreens. We go through it on site — there's a full comparison on our screen enclosure page.
Do you bundle services into one visit?
That's the whole point of GTO. Rescreening the cage, cleaning the roof, washing the deck and sealing the pavers get scheduled in the right order — clean before seal, roof before deck — so nothing gets done twice. One crew, one schedule, one invoice.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — fully licensed and carrying general liability and workers' comp. We're glad to send certificates before we start, and many HOAs and gated communities require them on file. Just ask.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes, and it's in writing. We come out, measure, look at the actual condition of the frame and mesh, and give you an itemized fixed price. There's no charge for the visit and no obligation to book.
Still Deciding?
Let us come look at it. It's free.
We'll tell you honestly what needs doing now and what can wait a season. If the answer is "leave it another year," that's what we'll tell you — we would rather earn the call when it does need doing.
