Dunedin faces St. Joseph Sound and Caladesi Island, and its pool cages know the wind. The waterfront streets north and south of downtown see salt on every onshore breeze, while the neighborhoods east toward US 19 sit under oaks and pines. Many homes are mid-century and many cages are original; the finish is what has given up, not the frame.

ABC Pool Cage Painting repaints aluminum pool enclosures across Dunedin, from the sound-front homes and the streets around the Causeway to the neighborhoods along Main Street, Bayshore Boulevard and the Pinellas Trail. We prepare the frame completely, replace the hardware that stains and spray a coating designed for exterior aluminum.

Sound-Front and Causeway Homes

Salt pits the bottom rail, blooms corrosion at the fasteners and streaks rust from cables and door frames. Those cages get full mechanical oxidation removal, rust neutralized and sealed at every penetration and stainless screws throughout before primer and coating. Rinsing the frame with fresh water after windy weather keeps the new finish clean.

Tree-Covered Neighborhoods

East of the waterfront, oaks and pines stain the beams with tannin, feed mildew on the shaded sides and fill the roof channels. Preparation there begins with cleaning and mildew treatment, channels are cleared and branches touching the cage are trimmed back where the homeowner allows.

Older Cages, Earlier Paint

Many Dunedin frames have been repainted before with products not meant for aluminum and are peeling on the sunny side. Failed coating is removed to a sound edge and the surface is profiled so the new system bonds. Original frames from the 1960s and 1970s are frequently heavier than modern replacements and repaint very well.

Process

• Chemical wash for salt residue, chalk, mildew and tannin; channel clearing.
• Removal of failed coating, mechanical oxidation removal, rust treatment and stainless hardware.
• Adhesion primer and exterior aluminum coating sprayed with the pool, deck, house and plantings masked.
• Screen replaced after cure when included; doors and chair-rail caps renewed.

Two to four working days for most single-family enclosures in Dunedin, planned around wind on the waterfront.
