"The Story Behind Every Screen We Build"

I've worked construction my whole adult life, focusing on aluminum pool screen enclosures from early in my career. After working as an installer for years, I decided to get my State of Florida License in 2002. This meant I could finally pull my own permits and run my own screen enclosure business in Central Florida.

Hurricane Charlie hit in 2004, and it taught us some hard but valuable lessons. Seeing how different enclosures held up during the storm showed us exactly what worked and what didn't.

We learned the importance of using high-grade aluminum and engineering beyond minimum standards. It became clear that proper installation and never cutting corners weren't just good business practices - they were essential for building structures that last.

The housing market crash hit a few years later. While other companies were cutting corners to stay afloat, we stuck to our standards. Those were tough times, but we managed to stay in business because we wouldn't compromise on quality.

What's kept us going is pretty simple - we build quality screen enclosures and make sure our customers are satisfied. That's been our foundation from the start, and it's worked well for us.
