How We Work

The Tetra-Shield Protocol

Four non-negotiable steps, executed in sequence, every time. No shortcuts, no skipped stages, no subcontractors making judgment calls without Fabian on site.

01
Cleanse Bio-Wash Surface Preparation

Pressure-wash and bio-detergent treatment to strip salt deposits, mold spore colonies, and oxidation residue from every aluminum extrusion, joint, and fastener pocket. The frame must be chemically neutral before any coating bonds.

No coating — DTM or otherwise — bonds correctly to a contaminated surface. This step is non-negotiable.

02
Fortify Nylo-Tec Fastener Replacement

Every corroded carbon steel screw is extracted and replaced with a ceramic-coated Nylo-Tec fastener capped with glass-reinforced nylon. This physically isolates the dissimilar metals and eliminates the galvanic corrosion pathway that destroys frames within 3–5 years.

Galvanic corrosion reduces screw shear strength by up to 50% in the first year. Nylo-Tec stops it entirely.

03
Fuse Sherwin-Williams DTM Coating

Dual-coat Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial direct-to-metal spray application, bonded directly to the treated aluminum surface. The coating encapsulates the frame in a chemically-resistant barrier rated for Florida salt-air, UV, and storm exposure.

DTM means no primer layer — the coating bonds directly to bare metal for maximum adhesion and longevity.

04
Tension Phifer Spline-Lock Rescreening

Phifer fiberglass mesh — 18×14 standard or 20×20 no-see-um density — is installed under full tension and locked into the aluminum channel with a precision spline tool. Proper tension is what separates a screen that sags in six months from one that holds through storm season.

Under-tensioned mesh is the most common rescreening failure. Every panel is checked with a deflection test.

Client Outcomes

Port St. Lucie Homeowners.
Real Results.

Storm prep, HOA compliance, and structural restoration — these are the outcomes our clients actually needed.

Storm Prep Restoration

"We were heading into hurricane season with visible rust spots where the screws meet the frame. I was bracing for a full rebuild quote. Fabian walked the cage with me and explained exactly why the structure was still sound — galvanic corrosion at the fasteners, not the frame itself. They replaced every screw with Nylo-Tec hardware, applied the DTM coating, and retensioned all the mesh panels. Our insurance inspector passed it on the first visit. That hasn't happened in three years."

HOA Compliance

"I got a certified letter from the HOA with a 30-day cure window before daily fines started. The cage had visible oxidation on the frame rails and two panels of sagging screen. I called We Paint We Screen on a Tuesday — Fabian was at my house Thursday morning with a written scope of work the same day. The HOA reinspection passed with 11 days to spare. I've already referred two neighbors on my street."

Cost Savings vs. Full Replacement

"Three other contractors told us to rip it down and start over — quotes from $28,000 to $41,000. Fabian was the only one who put hands on the aluminum and told us the frame is structurally intact. What it needed was new fasteners, a DTM coat, and fresh Phifer mesh. Total came to $7,400. Same cage, completely restored. It looks better than the day we bought the house."

Full Tetra-Shield Restoration

"What separates We Paint We Screen from every other contractor I've dealt with is that Fabian knows the technical side cold. He explained galvanic isolation, why DTM coatings bond differently than standard paint, and what the Phifer 20x20 no-see-um density actually means for protection. He follows a documented process. The cage came out looking factory-new and he left the yard cleaner than when he arrived."

Service Coverage Map

Built for Hurricane Season

Florida pool cage structures are load-bearing elements in a wind-rated system. A corroded fastener or under-tensioned mesh panel doesn't just look bad — it's a structural failure point when a named storm makes landfall on the Treasure Coast.

  • Nylo-Tec fasteners maintain rated shear strength under wind-load conditions
  • Phifer mesh tensioned to spec holds profile under sustained wind — sagging mesh tears out the spline channel
  • DTM-coated frames pass insurance inspection — oxidized frames often don't
  • St. Lucie County code compliance documented on every completed job
Request a Storm-Prep Evaluation

Most Treasure Coast homeowners schedule restoration 6–8 weeks before hurricane season opens June 1.

The Owner

One Owner. One Standard. Every Job.

Fabian built We Paint We Screen LLC on one documented process: bio-wash cleaning, Nylo-Tec ceramic fastener replacement, dual-coat Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial DTM spray application, and Phifer mesh tensioned under full load. Not because it's the easiest way to run a job — because it's the only approach that eliminates the failure points that bring homeowners back to their rusted, sagging enclosures three seasons after someone else "fixed" it.

Fabian is a licensed and insured contractor operating across St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River, and Brevard counties. Every job he accepts, he works. There are no subcontractors, no temporary labor, and no project managers standing between a homeowner and the person holding the spray gun. The crew Fabian brings has worked alongside him on every job in his portfolio.

The no-subcontractor commitment isn't a marketing position — it's a business model decision. When the owner is physically on site for every job, quality control isn't a department. It's automatic. Every Nylo-Tec fastener, every DTM coat, and every Phifer panel is installed under Fabian's direct supervision or by Fabian himself.

No-Subcontractor Guarantee

We Paint We Screen LLC does not use subcontractors on any job, ever. The person you meet on site is the same person installing your Nylo-Tec hardware, applying your DTM coating, and tensioning your Phifer mesh.

"The face you meet is the face on your roof."

Common Questions

Questions We Hear Before Every Evaluation

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask before they commit. If your question isn't here, call Fabian directly at (772) 267-1926.

Is my pool cage too far gone to restore?

In most cases — no. The most common restoration candidate is a cage where the aluminum frame profile is still structurally intact, but the fasteners show galvanic corrosion, the coating has oxidized and chalked, and the mesh has lost tension or torn. Fabian inspects for the three failure modes that make a cage un-restorable: severe section deflection (the extrusion itself is bent or buckled under load), compromised corner joints where the spigot connection has pulled out, and evidence of previous flood damage to the foundation anchors. If none of those three conditions are present, a Tetra-Shield restoration is almost certainly the right call — typically delivering a like-new structural result for 60–75% less than a full demolition-and-rebuild quote. A free structural evaluation from Fabian takes 20–30 minutes on site and gives you a definitive answer, not a sales pitch.

Request a free structural evaluation

Because a standard painter is applying paint. Fabian is replacing your fastener system, applying a direct-to-metal industrial coating engineered for Florida salt-air corrosion resistance, and retensioning your Phifer mesh to the manufacturer's spline specification. The material difference alone is significant: Nylo-Tec ceramic-coated fasteners cost more per unit than the carbon steel screws they replace, and Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial DTM is a commercial-grade coating — not a residential exterior paint. The other factor is the no-subcontractor model. Every hour billed on a We Paint We Screen job is an hour Fabian or his direct crew worked on your structure. There is no markup on subcontracted labor. The cost reflects the actual scope of the work, applied correctly, using the right materials, by the person whose name is on the warranty.

Request a free structural evaluation

The Tetra-Shield Protocol directly addresses the three failure modes that doom pool cages in a Florida named storm: fastener shear failure at the joint (eliminated by Nylo-Tec hardware rated to Florida Building Code wind-load requirements), mesh blow-out from under-tensioned panels (prevented by spline-lock tensioning verified by a panel deflection test on every completed bay), and frame oxidation compromising the structural coating bond (prevented by bio-wash surface preparation followed by DTM application to bare, chemically neutral metal). Every completed Tetra-Shield restoration comes with a 5-year written warranty. If any element of the restoration fails within that window, Fabian comes back and fixes it. No call centers, no warranty claim number — you call the number on the contract, and you get Fabian.
