Canal-front cages pick up salt air and moisture off the water. Ask whether the quote replaces corroded screws and hardware, not just the screen.

What the job usually includes

  • Pressure washing and surface prep
  • Treating oxidation and corrosion
  • Coating the frame (ask which coating system)
  • Often combined with hardware replacement and a rescreen

How to choose a Cape Coral contractor

  1. Ask what coating system they use and how it is applied
  2. Ask whether screws and hardware are replaced as part of the job
  3. Get a fixed-price written estimate that lists prep, masking and cleanup
  4. If you are also rescreening, ask for a combined price
  5. Verify the license on the Florida DBPR site and ask for proof of insurance
