Screen enclosures and pool cages in Cape Coral, FL.

New pool cages, screened lanais and full enclosure replacements for Cape Coral homes, from the southeast Cape to the newer streets out toward Burnt Store Road.

In Cape Coral, the pool cage is part of the house

Drive almost any street in the southeast Cape and the back of nearly every house looks the same: a pool, a deck and an aluminum screen enclosure over both. Cape Coral was built around canals and backyard pools, and the screen enclosure is what makes that pool usable when the mosquitoes and no-see-ums come off the water at dusk.

That also means a lot of Cape Coral cages are old. The aluminum on enclosures in the established parts of the city has spent decades in sun, salt and humidity, and the fasteners and the bases of the uprights show it first. Then Hurricane Ian came through in 2022 and hit the Cape as hard as anywhere. Plenty of homeowners lost a cage outright, and many more have one that is still standing but moved.

We build new enclosures for new pools in the north and west Cape, and we replace tired or storm-damaged cages across the city, frame and all. It is the same crew, the same no-deposit terms and the same lifetime workmanship guarantee we bring to every Cape Coral job.

Canal-front enclosures take more wind

With more than 400 miles of canals, a large share of Cape Coral homes back onto open water. Wind comes across a canal or the river with nothing to slow it down, and a pool cage on a waterfront lot catches the full force of every summer squall and tropical storm.

That exposure is accounted for in the engineering: the size of the aluminum members, the spacing between them and how the uprights are anchored to the deck. It is also why the connection to the house matters. Most Cape cages fasten to the fascia and carry roof water through a super gutter, so we check that the fascia is sound before the new enclosure hangs from it. If it has rotted, we handle the fascia repair in the same job.

  • Frame sizing and anchoring per the engineered drawings
  • Fascia checked and repaired before the cage attaches
  • Super gutter tied in so roof water clears the cage
  • Kick plates on the lower run of waterfront decks

Replacing a cage that came through Ian

A cage that survived the storm is not always a cage that came through it. The signs that the structure has moved are easy to read as small annoyances: a screen door that will not latch any more, panels that keep popping out of their channels, an upright with a visible bow, or a gap opening where the enclosure meets the house.

Some of that is repairable. Bent members can be replaced and anchors can be reset, and if that is all your enclosure needs we will quote it as screen enclosure repair. When the whole frame is racked out of square or corroded at the base, patching it costs more over time than starting again, and a new enclosure built to the current code is the better use of your money.

Permits and HOA approval in Cape Coral

Cape Coral runs its own building department, so a new or replacement screen enclosure inside the city is permitted through the City of Cape Coral rather than Lee County. The permit is tied to engineered drawings that show the enclosure meets the Florida Building Code’s wind requirements for the site.

If your street is in a deed-restricted community, check the association’s rules on frame color, height and roof style before you sign anything. When you compare quotes, make sure each one says whether the permit and engineering are included, because that is where low numbers often hide the difference.

How it works

From a measured deck to a finished cage.

Measure the deck

We measure the pool deck and the house wall, look at the fascia and super gutter, and talk through roof style and screen.

Written Cape Coral price

You get a written price for your cage before any work starts, and you can hold other Cape Coral quotes up against it.

Cage built, no deposit

Our crew builds and screens the cage. You pay nothing until it is finished, and the workmanship is guaranteed for life.

Good to know

Cape Coral pool cage and enclosure questions.

It depends on the size of the pool deck, the wall height, the roof style and the number of doors, so the range is wide. A mansard cage over a typical single-story pool deck is a very different job from a two-story dome. We measure on site, give you a free written price, and beat any written quote for the same scope.

Yes. New and replacement enclosures inside city limits need a building permit from the City of Cape Coral, backed by engineered drawings that meet the Florida Building Code wind requirements. Many deed-restricted neighborhoods also need association approval.

Not always. A door that stopped latching after a storm usually means part of the frame has shifted. Sometimes that is a few members and anchors we can repair. If the whole structure is out of square or the base of the uprights is corroded, replacing the cage is the better value.

On the water, go with 20x20 no-see-um mesh. Standard 18x14 screen stops mosquitoes but lets no-see-ums through, and they are worst near the water around sunrise and sunset. Many Cape homeowners use no-see-um screen on the walls and standard mesh on the roof panels.

Yes. On a new build, the enclosure goes up once the pool deck is finished, and we can plan the cage around the house roofline and any gutters that still need to go on.

Yes. Most Cape Coral cages tie into a super gutter at the house, and we install seamless gutters as well, so the enclosure and the roof drainage can be planned and built by one crew.

I called several local gutter companies, and WWJD Gutters was the only one to get back to me promptly — same day. They showed up at 8:30 AM and in three hours ripped off old gutters, installed new gutters all the way around the house, repaired soffit, and even removed a satellite dish. They cleaned up the workspace before leaving. I have absolutely no complaints.

I reached out to several companies and he was the first to actually come out and give me a quote when he said he would. Great fair price. Russell even took care of some minor soffit issues for me while doing the gutter estimate.

Thanks to the owner Russell and his crew for going the extra mile to find a gutter metal supplier to match my new standing-seam metal roof color. Great job and price — both my wife and myself are very satisfied. From the Isles of Capri, Naples FL.

Russ and his crew were top notch all the way. Awesome seamless gutters and they couldn't have been nicer. Don't be afraid to use them for any gutters, re-screening of lanais, etc. Pursue with confidence!

Russell is a top-notch guy and a man of his word. Does excellent work and great service after the sale. He came to the estates from the cape in no time. He knows his work — trust his judgement. Give this company your business. You will not be disappointed.
