Windows Metal & Pool Cage Refinishing
The original finish on older metal windows and pool cages throughout florida can sustain sun and water damage over the course of time that can be quite severe in some of the worst cases. these surfaces can be refinished with very pleasing results through proper preparation and the use of quality materials.
4 square windows at garage
these windows trace back to the original build date of this home circa the mid 1980's and have certainly seen better days. the surrounding wood siding and several soffit mounted accent light housings were also addressed during this particular project. the light housings had become home to quite a few generations of mud daubers in addition to the trim rings being rusted from old age. the sheets seen in the photos were "installed" temporarily to create shade while the work was being done.

this is a west facing aspect on this particular cage and has endured a lot of afternoon sun. a decision was also made to eliminate the small light colored accent rectangle during this work and go with the more traditional look of a single color in a dark brown.

the metal framing here is in very poor condition in several areas. the original material has delaminated entirely in spots. in the second photo below, someone has clearly brushed the metal work without doing any sanding or prep. both photos at the bottom of this post are after all the refinishing work was completed and the surrounding stucco sills were also repainted.
