Q: If I have a lot of trees around will I be able to have a pool enclosure?
A: Yes, we can build a gable or gable/hip style to limit the leaves from accumulating on top. If you have pine trees nearby we can install 20/20 mesh screen on top to limit the needles from poking through.
Q: We have a screen room, but cannot use it when the rain is blowing in or when it’s windy. What can we do?
A: We offer a vinyl glaze window unit that can be installed inside the framing of the screen room. It comes in a vertical 4 track 4 vent unit or a 2 track 2 vent side slider unit. Use the room as a screen room the majority of the time but when the weather gets bad just close the windows.
