The weather is cooling off and now is a great time to open the front door and let the breeze flow. But to do that you must have a screened front entryway and Absolute Aluminum has installed 1000's of them of all sizes and styles. Let me show you just a few below.

 

So here is a before and after shot of one of our typical screened front entryways. As you can see we are able to follow the contour of the above arch to give a very clean and finished look.

This is a custom Suntech Screen Door with a insert that our client picked out. It also has a full piano hinge on one side that is fully adjustable and also has a tasman locking system that works extremely well.

The bug sweep on the bottom of the door is fully adjustable so if your existing concrete is not level no problem because we can adjust as needed to keep out the bugs.

Take a look at the above photos and notice the foam gingerbread at the top and bottom on the side walls of your home. Notice how our expert installer notched the aluminum around the foam for a very clean and finished look.

Our screened front entryways also give great curb appeal to the front of your home also. You will be the envy of the neighborhood after they see our expert installation.

Now, here is the best part. On average our standard screened entryways cost less then $1000 installed. Yes, you can spend more pending on your entryway size and your choice of over 50 custom screened door choices.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at our photos and now it's all up to you. But wait since you took the time to read my blog post I have a reward for you.  Just fill out the 'Request a Quote' and Mention that you saw that we are offering $100 Off and that you'd like to Claim it for your new Entryway"

Thank you,

New Pool Cage? Now is The Time!
Yes, there has never been a better time to build a new pool cage then ever before. Let me explain. So our summer season is here and this is when most customers use there pool the most. But, stop and take a look at your existing pool cage. What do you see?

Torn screens or you see a silver tint over the screen as you look at the over all pool cage? This is caused by the fiberglass yarn coming off the wire that is used to make screen. Do you have rusted screws everywhere? Yes, our industry and products have been improved over the past few years and now we handle stainless white or bronze screws.

Take a look at your anchors along the bottom of your pool cage and see if they are still in good shape? Most of the time when we service pool cages this is the area that we find where the anchors are all ate up or rusted off and really do not have your cage anchored down at all. Again our new fastener system that we use stops all of the rust and will last a lot longer.

Maybe All You Need Is A Pool Cage Service
We have our service department come out and inspect your existing pool cage and make sure the screws and anchors are in good shape. If not we can just replace all of them.

But if the pool cage is over 10 years old we find it best to get a price and replace your old pool cage. The main reason for this is our building codes have changed and your old cage does not meet the new code. Plus it's not cost affective to repair an old out dated pool cage.

New 10 Year Warranty Super Screen
Yes, we now have new screen that will almost last a lifetime. Sure it has a 10 year written warranty but it will last much longer and this means more dollar savings for you. Just think about how many times you have had to replace a screen panel here and there? No more with Super Screen!

Free Estimates and $500 Summer Discount From Our Web Site
WOW, yes here is our money saving deal for you. Just fill out the "Free Quote" on our web site and ask for the $500 pool cage summer deal. This $500 deal is for the whole month of JUNE only. So take advantage of this super savings today. You can also call Elisha at 941-497-7777 and she will set you an appointment.

Enjoy your new pool cage.

Outdoor Kitchens Are a Must

Once you have a steak cooked on our Solaire infrared grills you will be able to see why so many of our satisfied clients love there outdoor kitchen.

Pavers Give a New Look on Your Pool Deck
Yes, if your pool deck has old un-slighty cracks and has outlasted it's use then pavers is the only way to go to make your pool deck look brand new again. We have completed  jobs using our thin set pavers and our color selection will meet all your design needs.

Another cool thing about pavers is that you can have it your way when it comes to design. Yes, just by turning the pavers a different direction it gives you a whole new look. Mixing and matching colors is an awesome way to add in your design flair.
