Screen Enclosures & Pool Cages in Cape Coral, FL
Cape Coral has more than 400 miles of canals, and most of the homes on them have a pool cage taking the full brunt of salt spray, afternoon storms and summer sun. McGowan Screen & Aluminum Specialist builds and repairs screen enclosures across the Cape — from the older ranch homes in the Southeast near Del Prado to the newer construction in the Northwest Cape, Cape Harbour, Tarpon Point and Pelican — working from our Bonita Springs location about 40 minutes down US-41 and Burnt Store Road.
Whether you need a couple of panels rescreened, a full cage refurbish after years of neglect, or a brand-new custom pool cage to replace one Ian took down, our licensed and insured crew (SCC131153839) handles the City of Cape Coral permit, the engineering and the install with our own people.
Built for Cape Coral Wind and Salt
Cape Coral sits in a high wind-speed design zone under the Florida Building Code, and every new enclosure we build there is engineered to the current Florida Building Code for that zone — not to what the old cage happened to be. That means correctly sized footers on the Cape’s sandy fill, wall posts anchored to the slab, cable or knee bracing where spans require it and stainless or Nylo-Tech fasteners that won’t rust out in the canal air.
Frames are extruded aluminum with a powder-coat finish (white or bronze), screened with Phifer 18/14, No-See-Um or Super Screen mesh. For waterfront views we recommend picture-window panels on the canal side and standard bays elsewhere to keep the cost down.

Cape Coral Screen Enclosure FAQs
Do you really service Cape Coral from Naples?
Yes. Our Bonita Springs location is about 40 minutes from the Cape via US-41 or I-75 and Burnt Store Road, and crews are in Lee County most weeks for Fort Myers, Estero and Cape Coral jobs. We group Cape Coral visits so travel never shows up on your quote.
Do I need a permit for a pool cage in Cape Coral?
A new pool enclosure, a full structural replacement or a cage extension requires a City of Cape Coral building permit with engineered drawings. Rescreening, single-panel repairs and like-for-like door or hardware replacement do not. We prepare and submit the permit package and meet the inspector.
How long does a rescreen take in Cape Coral?
A full rescreen of a typical single-family pool cage is typically a one-day job once we’re on site. New builds typically run three to seven working days after the permit is issued.
Can you repair a cage damaged in a hurricane?
Often, yes. If the frame is straight and the footers haven’t moved we can replace bent members, re-tension and rescreen. If posts are buckled or the cage was under-engineered, we’ll recommend a replacement built to current code and give you both prices so you can decide with your insurer.
