New Pool Cage Installation Tampa Bay

Planning a brand-new pool cage? Screen Team leads scoping and the customer relationship. For permit-heavy engineering and structural builds, Chris Westcott coordinates licensed contractor partners so you are not left guessing who owns which step.

How Screen Team handles new cages — partner-honest

New pool cage installation in Florida is not the same service as a rescreen. Wind-load engineering, footings, aluminum design, and city or county permits sit in a different lane than mesh and spline work. Chris Westcott is clear about that from the first call: The Screen Team LLC leads your scoping conversation, walks the property goals, and stays your point of contact — while permit-heavy structural engineering and erection go through licensed partners when required.

That model protects homeowners. You get one relationship that explains options in plain language, plus the right credentials on the stamped drawings and inspections. No pretending a rescreen crew can stamp a new cage without partners.

What Chris helps you define before partners engage

  • Cage footprint relative to pool, spa, and house connection
  • Height goals, including two-story looks where lots allow
  • Door placements, spa wings, and future super gutter needs
  • Mesh preferences — standard, pet, or no-see-um
  • Timeline expectations around permitting and inspections
New-build tip: Bring HOA guidelines and any survey quirks early. Setbacks and easements delay cages more often than mesh choices do.

Rescreen vs new cage — choosing honestly

If you already have a square, permitted frame, a full pool cage rescreen is usually the value play. Bent posts, failed footings, or cages that never met current expectations may point to replacement. Chris says which path fits before you spend on engineering. Related: screen enclosure installation, custom enclosures, pricing.
