Fort Myers pool cages age under palms and beside the river. The royal palms along McGregor Boulevard and the oaks of the older neighborhoods drop litter and shade the frame; the Caloosahatchee keeps the air damp; and in Gateway and the newer communities the sun does the rest. When the finish chalks and streaks, a proper repaint is the least expensive way to make the lanai look new again.

ABC Pool Cage Painting repaints aluminum pool enclosures across Fort Myers, from McGregor, Whiskey Creek and Iona to Gateway, San Carlos Park and Fort Myers Shores. This page covers painting; the Fort Myers restoration page covers repairs and the Fort Myers rescreening page covers screen.

Cleaning Before Painting

Paint will not bond to mildew or to the tannin film that drips from tree canopy. Our preparation begins with a chemical wash that dissolves both and treats the mildew, then clears the roof channels of fronds and litter. Oxidation is removed mechanically, rust at fastener heads is treated and corroded screws are replaced with stainless steel before primer.

River Humidity and the Bottom Rail

Homes along the river and in the Shores show pitting at the bottom rail and corrosion at the hardware. Those frames get full oxidation removal and rust sealed at every penetration before coating, and we recommend rinsing the frame with fresh water after windy weather once the new finish is on.

Gateway and the Newer Communities

Bronze and black frames on open lots chalk into a grey haze; reclaimed-water irrigation spots the lower rail. Both are removed during preparation and the coating is matched to the community reference, with product information provided for architectural review.

Colors and Finishes

• White on the mid-century homes near McGregor and in Whiskey Creek.
• Bronze and dark bronze in Gateway and along Daniels Parkway.
• Black on renovated homes and where picture-window screen is planned.
• Custom colors matched to new trim or roofing.

Timeline

Two to four working days for most single-family cages in Fort Myers, with tree trimming arranged before the work where branches touch the cage, and summer coating scheduled for dry mornings.

Fort Myers Pool Cage Painting FAQ

Will the palms stain the new finish?

Fronds and litter wash off a sound finish; keeping the roof channels clear and rinsing after pollen season keeps it clean.

Can you paint a cage that was patched after Ian?

Yes. Mismatched hardware is replaced, failed coating is removed to a sound edge and the frame is prepared properly before the new system goes on.

Do you serve Fort Myers Shores and Alva?

Yes, along with the rest of Lee County.

How long does a repaint last?

With full preparation and an aluminum-specific coating, many years; riverfront homes benefit from periodic rinsing.
