Fort Myers runs from the Caloosahatchee riverfront along McGregor Boulevard, through the mid-century neighborhoods of Whiskey Creek and Iona, out to the newer communities of Gateway and the river lots of Fort Myers Shores. Each of those places puts a different kind of wear on a pool cage, and each one has plenty of enclosures worth saving instead of replacing.

ABC Pool Cage Painting restores aluminum pool cages across Fort Myers and Lee County. Restoration keeps the structure you have, replaces the hardware that fails, treats the corrosion, applies a professional coating and renews the screen, all without the permitting timeline of a new enclosure.

Fort Myers Wear Patterns

• River humidity along McGregor and the Shores feeds mildew on the frame and keeps moisture at the bottom rail, where pitting starts.
• Mature royal palms and oaks in the older neighborhoods drop fronds and litter onto roof panels, stretching screen and holding debris in the channels.
• Full-sun lots in Gateway and the newer subdivisions chalk dark bronze and black finishes early.
• Post-Ian repairs done in a hurry left mismatched screws, bent bars and screen stretched over damage across much of the city.

What Restoration Fixes

Structure and hardware

We check every member and connection, correct or replace bent sections where the frame allows, and swap every corroded screw for stainless steel. Cable braces and door frames are tested and replaced where needed.

Surface preparation

Mildew and chalk are chemically washed off, oxidation is removed mechanically, rust at fastener points is neutralized and failed coating is taken back to a sound edge. This is the stage that decides how long the new finish lasts, and it is never skipped.

Coating

Primer and an exterior coating designed for aluminum are sprayed with the pool, deck, house and landscaping masked. White remains common in the older neighborhoods; bronze and black dominate in Gateway and the newer communities.

Screen

After cure, aged or damaged panels are replaced with fresh spline. River and preserve lots often choose no-see-um mesh on the walls; households with dogs choose pet screen on the lower panels.

Restoration After Ian

Hurricane Ian left Fort Myers with thousands of cages that were closed up quickly and never finished. A restoration is the way to correct that work: undo the rushed hardware, straighten what can be straightened, and give the enclosure a consistent finish again. We tell you honestly if a frame has damage that restoration cannot solve.

Scheduling in Lee County

Most single-family restorations take three to five working days. Summer projects are planned around afternoon storms with coating on dry mornings; the dry season is the easiest time to schedule. Gated communities in Gateway and along Daniels Parkway are coordinated with the association for access and contractor hours.

Fort Myers Restoration FAQ

Is restoration cheaper than replacing the cage?

When the structure is sound it is usually a fraction of the replacement cost and avoids permitting and lead times. We confirm which case you are in during the photo review.

Can you restore a cage that has some bent bars?

Often yes. Minor bends are corrected and individual members can be replaced. Buckled main beams or pulled anchors are a different conversation and we will say so.

Do you work on riverfront homes with limited access?

Yes. We plan equipment and protection around seawalls, docks and lifts.

Can I change the cage color?

Yes, once the frame is stripped and primed, any exterior color is possible, subject to your community rules.
