Screened Lanai & Pool Cage Cleaning
Verona Walk

Verona Walk is a gated DiVosta community in South Naples, built in phases from 2004 to 2015, with nearly 2,000 homes across villas, townhomes and single-family plans. Lakes run through much of the property, crossed by the arched footbridges residents walk to the Town Center. That layout puts a large share of lanais on the water, and it shapes almost everything about how they get dirty.

With lakes threading through the community, many lanais look straight out over water. Mist and humidity keep the screens damp, pollen sticks to them and green algae grows on the shaded frame. Lakefront lanais get there fastest.

Most single-family homes here sit on compact lots, often around an eighth of an acre, so the pool cage takes up much of the back yard. That means the cage is close to the neighbors’ landscaping, close to the sprinkler heads and close to the lake bank. Each of those adds its own load of soil, mineral spray and moisture to the lower panels.

Lanai floors in Verona Walk are often light pavers or coated concrete, and they show iron staining from reclaimed irrigation where sprinklers reach. That orange staining needs rust chemistry, not more pressure.

Irrigation water is part of the HOA fee, and the association’s crews run the system. Owners can’t easily change the spray patterns, but a yearly cleaning keeps the rust from building into a deep stain. We treat iron marks with a rust remover made for pavers and aluminum, rinse fully and note the heads that are hitting your cage so you can pass it to the landscaper.

Villa and townhome lanais are close to neighbors, so we keep overspray and rinse water contained to your lanai and yard.

Villa and townhome lanais are usually under 800 square feet and share a wall or a screen line with the next unit. We cover the shared side where needed, keep the rinse low-volume and squeegee water toward your own yard. Neighbors who book together can be cleaned the same morning, which saves a second gate entry and keeps the whole row looking the same.

The homes themselves are solid poured concrete, which holds up well, but the screen enclosures and frames are aluminum like anywhere else. On the earliest phases, now about twenty years old, frames can show a white chalk that comes off on your hand. A brightener during cleaning removes it and evens out the color, adding $75 to $150 depending on size, after a test patch you can approve.

Pool homes carry the most surface. We clean the screen roof first, by hand from ladders without stepping on the panels, then the walls and frame from the top down. The pool deck is cleaned last with a rotary surface cleaner so runoff from above is washed away with it. Our standard cage price begins at $299. For the bigger Verona Walk enclosures, between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet, plan on $399 and up. The cage plus deck package is also priced from $399.

With so many walking trails, bridges and a Town Center to stroll to, residents here spend a lot of time outside, and the lanai is where shoes, bikes and beach gear land. Furniture and stored items left in one spot leave dark squares and rust rings on light floors. We move everything aside, clean underneath and put each piece back where it was.

Lake edges attract wildlife, and lanais show it. Spiders, wasps, lizards and tree frogs leave webs, nests and small dark spots on frames and screens, especially on lights by the door. We clear those by hand before the wash so they are lifted instead of smeared. Bird droppings get a pre-treatment so they rinse off without scrubbing the paint.

Light-colored lanai floors are common here, and they show everything: iron, algae, tire marks from bikes and the gray shadow of dirty runoff. We clean the whole floor evenly instead of spot-cleaning, so you do not end up with bright patches next to dull ones. If the floor is pavers, sealing afterward helps it resist the next round of staining.

Storm season adds its own mess. After a strong summer storm or a passing tropical system, lake-facing cages collect leaves, palm debris and a layer of muddy splash along the bottom rail. We can schedule a post-storm visit once the community reopens, starting with the gutters and screen roof so water can drain before we wash the rest.

A once-a-year cleaning keeps most lanais in good shape; lakefront homes often prefer a light clean every 8 to 10 months.

We are pre-registered at the Verona Walk gate and can work while you are out or away for the season. All we need is the lanai door unlocked and an outdoor spigot. When we finish, you receive before-and-after photos plus a brief written service record, including any torn panels, loose spline or failing door closers we noticed during the visit.
