Pool Cage Restoration in Melbourne, FL

Pool cages in Brevard County age fast. Salt air oxidizes aluminum frames. Screen panels tear, sag, or blow out in storms. After a tough hurricane season, hundreds of cages across Melbourne and the barrier island communities need repair or full restoration. If the cage is structurally sound, a full teardown is rarely necessary — restoration brings it back to better-than-original condition.

What Restoration Includes

A full restoration starts with a frame inspection. The contractor checks for bent or damaged uprights, cracked welds, and corrosion throughout the structure. Minor frame damage is repaired in place. Screen panels are removed and replaced with new material — either standard fiberglass or upgraded solar mesh.

Hardware inspection covers all screen splines, door hinges, latches, and retainer clips. Corroded or broken hardware is replaced. The goal is a cage that looks new and performs the way it should for another decade of Space Coast weather.

Solar Mesh Upgrades

Standard pool cage screening filters some light but very little heat. Solar mesh panels significantly reduce heat gain inside the enclosure. On a pool, that also reduces evaporation and helps keep pool chemistry more stable across the season — a practical upgrade beyond aesthetics.

Storm Damage Repair

After a storm event, contractors in the Melbourne Shades network prioritize cage assessments across Brevard County. Torn screening and bent frames are the most common post-storm issues. Targeted repairs restore the cage quickly without requiring full replacement in most cases. If a storm has just passed, get on the schedule early — demand spikes fast once every homeowner calls at once.

When Replacement Makes More Sense

If more than 40 to 50 percent of the frame has structural damage, or if the cage is 15+ years old and heavily corroded throughout, a full replacement conversation with a licensed aluminum contractor may make more financial sense. The contractor will tell you honestly which path applies to the specific cage — restoration is not recommended when it will not hold up.
