We clean screens, frames and floors without tearing mesh, and treat the mineral staining that a plain rinse leaves behind. Whether you own a carriage home with a compact lanai or an estate home with a full pool enclosure, the visit is sized to what you have. $249Small Cage Starting PriceAnnualRecommended Cycle300 PSIMax on Screens ## 🏊 What Builds Up on a Pelican Preserve Lanai Pollen · Algae · Overspray A screened lanai facing a pond or fairway collects pollen, spider webs and green algae on the shaded frame members, especially on the side that gets the least sun. Over a year the screens dull and the corners turn green. Pelican Preserve listings frequently show reclaimed water for irrigation. Communities on reclaimed irrigation often see sprinkler overspray leave orange or brown marks on lower screen panels, kick plates and lanai floors. Those marks are minerals and need rust chemistry, not more pressure. Cage sizes vary a lot here: a carriage home might have a compact screened lanai under 800 square feet, while a single-family pool home has a full enclosure. We quote the size you actually have. **Twenty years of building, twenty years of cages.** WCI built Pelican Preserve in stages from 2001 to 2020, so the age of your enclosure depends on your neighborhood. On the earliest homes, a cage may be on its original framing with screens replaced once or twice, and the powder coat on the frame has had two decades of Fort Myers sun. On the homes finished in the final years, the aluminum is still bright and the job is mostly pollen, webs and a light film. We look at your cage before we pick the method, not after. **The preserve side of the community.** Pelican Preserve sets aside a 38-acre nature preserve with a butterfly garden and a fishing pier, and ponds run between many of the neighborhoods. Lanais backing onto that greenery see more insects, more webs and more wet mornings than street-facing ones. Spiders build in the upper corners where the screen meets the roof beams, and the webs trap pollen that holds moisture against the mesh. Clearing those corners is the first thing we do on a preserve-side cage. **Golf lots on a 27-hole course.** Homes along the fairways get a different kind of dirt: mower clippings and fertilized irrigation mist on the lower third of the screen and the kick plate. That band of green-brown at knee height is typical of a course lot. A plain hose rinse moves it around without lifting it, so we pre-treat it and brush it by hand. **Carriage homes and cottage homes.** Pelican Preserve’s carriage homes are four-unit, two-level buildings, and its cottage homes are attached duplex pairs. On a carriage building the upstairs lanai sits above the downstairs one, so the order matters: we clean the upper unit first when both owners book, and keep rinse water off the neighbor below when only one does. Cottage-home pairs share a wall, and owners sometimes book both lanais on one visit so the pair looks matched. **Chalky frames.** When the coating on aluminum framing breaks down, the bare metal oxidizes into a white chalk that comes off on hands, towels and pool furniture. Cleaning alone will not bring it back to an even color. A heavy oxidation treatment, priced as an add-on of $75 to $150, restores a uniform finish on frames that have gone chalky. If only a few beams are affected, we tell you, and you can decide whether it is worth adding. **Floors and pool decks.** Lanai floors here range from coated concrete to pavers and tile, and each needs a different pressure and cleaner. Orange irrigation marks get a separate rust treatment, and we note which sprinkler heads are reaching the cage so they can be adjusted. If you want the deck sealed afterward, that is a separate paver job, which we can quote on the same visit. **Part-time residents.** Plenty of Pelican Preserve owners spend summers up north. You do not have to be here: give us gate registration and access to the lanai, and we send before-and-after photos and a written record the same day. Many owners book a cleaning in the fall, so the cage is ready when they arrive for the season. **Getting the lanai ready.** The night before, bring cushions, rugs and pool toys inside and move potted plants away from the screen walls if you can. Turn off the irrigation zone nearest the cage that morning so we are not rinsing against a sprinkler. If a panel has been patched with tape or a screen door sticks, tell us when you book and we will treat that spot gently. **Pricing in plain terms.** Small lanais under 800 square feet, common on carriage and cottage homes, start from $249. A standard pool cage on a single-family home starts from $299, a large cage of 1,500 to 2,500 square feet from $399, and a pool cage plus deck floor package from $399. We confirm the price before we start, so there are no surprises. Smaller LanaisCarriage-home and cottage-home lanais are often small. **Small cages under 800 sq ft start at $249**, screens, frames and floor included.

Pond-side cages also get their outside frame bases checked for algae, and we photograph anything worth a record. Step 2 ### Soft Wash the Aluminum Beams, gutters, kick plates and door hardware are treated with an aluminum-safe cleaner at low pressure. It loosens algae, pollen film and grime so the finish is not scratched by brushing. Step 3 ### Low-Pressure Screen Rinse The mesh is rinsed from the inside of the cage outward at 100 to 300 PSI with a wide fan tip. Panels stay tight and the spline stays seated, and heavy corners get brush work instead of more pressure. Step 4 ### Floor, Rust & Final Look We clean the lanai floor or pool deck at a pressure matched to its surface and treat orange irrigation marks with rust chemistry. A fresh-water rinse follows, then a walk-through with you or your manager, and photos for owners who are away. Pool ProtectionWe keep cleaning solution out of the pool and away from the equipment pad. **Runoff is directed to the lawn side, not into the water.** ## 💰 Lanai & Pool Cage Cleaning Pricing in Pelican Preserve Typical ranges · Free written quote | Service | Typical Price | Notes | | ------- | ------------- | ----- | | Small cage under 800 sq ft | From $249 | Carriage and cottage-home lanais | | Standard pool cage | From $299 | Most single-family pool homes | | Large cage 1,500–2,500 sq ft | From $399 | Larger pool enclosures | | Heavy oxidation treatment | Add $75–$150 | Chalky aluminum frames | | Pool cage + deck package | From $399 | Enclosure plus deck floor | Final pricing depends on size, access and condition.

Once a year for most homes. Cages facing a pond or heavy landscaping may benefit from every 8 to 10 months. ### Can you remove orange marks on my lanai floor? Usually, yes. Mineral staining from irrigation overspray responds to rust-removal chemistry. Sealing the floor afterward helps slow it coming back. See [paver sealing in Pelican Preserve](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/paver-sealing-sanding-pelican-preserve-fort-myers/). ### Do you clean small screened lanais on carriage homes? Yes. Small enclosures under 800 square feet start at $249, and we can do several units in the same building on one visit. ### Is the cleaning safe for my pool water? Yes. We protect the pool and equipment and control runoff, so the cleaning solution does not end up in the water. ### What is the white chalky film on my cage frame? Aluminum oxidation. It doesn’t rinse off; it needs an aluminum brightener, which we add for $75–$150 depending on how far it has gone. ### Do I need to be home? Not if the lanai is reachable. We coordinate gate access in Pelican Preserve with you or your manager and send before-and-after photos when we finish. ### Do you clean tile roofs in Pelican Preserve too? Yes.
