Ocala is inland, hilly and full of trees, which makes it one of the gentler places in Florida for a pool cage finish. Even so, the cages in the large 55-plus communities on the southwest side, on the horse-country acreage and in the older neighborhoods near downtown have had decades of sun, pollen and well water, and their finish shows it. Repainting brings them back without a permit and without replacing a frame that is usually sound.

ABC Pool Cage Painting repaints aluminum pool enclosures across Ocala and Marion County, including the communities along SR 200, the Silver Springs Shores area and the acreage neighborhoods toward Dunnellon and Belleview. We prepare the frame completely, replace the hardware that stains and spray a coating designed for exterior aluminum.

The 55-Plus Communities

Large communities along SR 200 and on the southwest side manage exteriors through associations with color standards and contractor rules. Same-color repainting is generally treated as maintenance; a color change needs product information, which we provide with a matched reference. We confirm gate access and contractor hours and group neighbors on the same street when they coordinate.

Acreage, Pines and Well Water

Horse-country lots and the wooded neighborhoods deliver pine litter and pollen onto the cage and iron-rich well water onto the lower frame. Preparation begins with cleaning and channel clearing, iron deposits are stripped, and we point out sprinkler heads hitting the cage so they can be adjusted.

Older Neighborhoods

Cages on the mid-century homes near downtown and along the older corridors have often been repainted before with the wrong product. Failed coating is removed to a sound edge, oxidation is removed mechanically and rust is treated at every fastener before primer. Original frames are frequently heavier than modern replacements and repaint very well.

Process and Timeline

• Chemical wash for chalk, pollen, mildew and iron or mineral deposits; 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 cages in Ocala.
