Most Naples pool cages are aluminum with a factory baked-on coating, usually bronze or white. Years of Florida sun break down that coating at the surface. The result is a dull, chalky layer. Bronze frames start to look faded or gray, and white frames turn flat and dusty. Run your hand along a beam and it comes away with white powder.
Salt air speeds this up near the Gulf and the bay. Pool chemicals off-gassing inside the cage, sprinkler water and the constant wet-dry cycle of summer rain all add to it. The south and west sides of a cage, which take the most afternoon sun, usually chalk first.
A standard pool cage cleaning removes dirt, mildew, algae and spider droppings. It does not remove oxidation. Chalking is the coating itself breaking down, so it needs a dedicated aluminum treatment and hand work on every beam.
Removing the oxidation brings back much of the original color and stops the powder from washing onto your pool deck, furniture and screens every time it rains. It also lets you see the true condition of the frame.
If the coating has worn through to bare aluminum, or the metal is pitted, cleaning cannot put the finish back. In that case the frame needs repainting or recoating, and we will tell you before you pay for removal.
We start with a normal low-pressure wash of the cage to remove dirt and mildew. That way the oxidation treatment works on the frame, not on surface grime.
Then each beam gets an aluminum oxidation remover applied by hand with non-scratch pads. We work in short sections so the product does not dry on the frame, and we rinse each section before moving on. Screens, the pool and plants are kept wet and shielded during the work.
It is slow work, done beam by beam, which is why it is priced separately from a standard cleaning.
| Frame condition | What you see | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Light chalking | Slight dullness, little powder | Standard cleaning, watch for change |
| Moderate chalking | Faded color, powder on your hand | Oxidation removal treatment |
| Heavy chalking | Thick powder, streaks on deck after rain | Oxidation removal, possibly two passes |
| Coating worn through | Bare silver metal showing | Repaint or recoat, not cleaning |
| Pitted or corroded metal | Rough white crust, pinholes | Enclosure contractor inspection |
White Powder on Your Hand
Wipe a beam with your palm. If it comes away white, the coating is chalking.
Bronze Turning Gray
Dark bronze frames that look washed out or uneven from side to side.
Milky Streaks After Rain
Chalk washes down the frame and leaves light streaks on pavers and screens.
Still Dull After a Wash
The cage was just cleaned and still looks flat and faded.
Oxidation removal depends on cage size, frame height and how far the chalking has gone. We inspect the frame first, then give you a written quote. Standard cage cleaning prices below are for reference.
Oxidation removal is always done with a full cage cleaning first, so the treatment works on the coating and your enclosure is clean top to bottom.
Frame inspection
We check how deep the chalking goes and look for bare or pitted metal.
