Pool Cage & Pool Deck Cleaning in Pinellas County, FL
Pool cage cleaning is a low-pressure wash of your screen enclosure: the mesh, framing, kick plates, and deck that collect pollen, love bugs, and mildew film in Pinellas County's humid air. The method is proposed for the documented screen mesh, spline, painted aluminum, coating, and condition, never one pressure for everything. Cool Breeze has cleaned Tampa Bay enclosures since 1999.

Why pool cages turn green so fast in Florida
Screen mesh, shaded framing, and deck surfaces can collect pollen, dirt, and visible organic buildup in Florida's humid climate. What appears on a particular enclosure depends on its material, coating, tree cover, shade, drainage, salt exposure, and maintenance. Cleaning addresses visible buildup; questions about structural condition, paint, fasteners, or screen life require a separate qualified inspection.
How we clean pool enclosures
Screen panels: pressure, product, dwell time, and rinsing are selected for the documented mesh, spline, age, and condition. Brittle or damaged components may be excluded pending repair.
Aluminum framing and kick plates: the proposed method accounts for paint or powder coating, oxidation, damaged finishes, and visible buildup.
Pool decks: concrete or paver cleaning is proposed according to material, coating, joint condition, drainage, and the stains or buildup observed.
Pool and landscape precautions: the scope should document overspray and runoff controls, landscape rinsing, product directions, and customer preparation.
What pool cage and deck cleaning costs
Cool Breeze's starting estimates begin at $185 for a small lanai cage and $165 for a small pool deck. The written quote controls and varies with size, height, access, material, condition, treatment, and included cage, screen, deck, or furniture surfaces. These are not Tampa Bay market averages. See our pricing methodology or call 727-584-6622.
Request one scope for multiple exterior surfaces
Customers can ask to include the cage, pool deck, house wash, or roof cleaning in one quote. The proposal should list every included surface, method, exclusion, schedule, and price. Gutter work, recurring visits, or any combined-service saving applies only when it appears in the accepted written quote.

What limits the method on a screen enclosure
| Enclosure component | Application usually proposed | What limits the method |
|---|---|---|
| Screen mesh | Low pressure, under 100 PSI, applied as a solution rather than a jet | Mesh age and brittleness; existing tears are recorded before work, not corrected by it |
| Spline and channel | Solution and rinse only | Dried or shrunken spline can release mesh under any pressure |
| Aluminum framing | Low pressure with products chosen for the finish | Powder-coat condition, oxidation, and fastener corrosion |
| Pool deck inside the cage | Surface cleaner where the deck material allows | Deck material, coatings, and drainage back toward the pool |
| Pool water and equipment | Covered or diverted per the product label | Label directions for runoff near pool water, plantings, and equipment |
On setting pressure for a cage
On an enclosure the screen is always the weakest thing on the property. I set pressure for the spline and the mesh, not for the dirt, and I write down the tears I find before I start so nobody wonders afterwards.
Pool cage cleaning FAQs
How much does pool cage cleaning cost in Pinellas County?
Cool Breeze's starting estimates begin at $185 for a small lanai cage and $165 for a small pool deck. The written quote controls and varies with size, height, access, material, condition, treatment, and included cage, screen, deck, or furniture surfaces. These are not Tampa Bay market averages. See our pricing methodology or call 727-584-6622.
Will pressure washing tear my pool screens?
Excessive pressure can tear mesh, loosen spline, or affect coatings. Cool Breeze reviews the material and visible condition, then documents proposed pressure, products, test areas, precautions, and exclusions; damaged or brittle components may require repair evaluation instead of cleaning.
How often should a pool cage be cleaned in Florida?
There is no universal interval. Schedule cleaning based on visible buildup and the enclosure's screen, frame, coating, shade, tree cover, salt exposure, drainage, and manufacturer care guidance.
Is the cleaning solution safe for my pool and plants?
The written scope should identify product-label directions, dilution, overspray and runoff controls, landscape rinsing, and precautions for pool water, people, pets, and plants.
Customers should disclose sensitive landscaping and pool-system requirements before accepting the quote; no cleaning process can promise zero exposure or risk.
Can you clean the pool deck at the same time?
Customers can request cage and deck cleaning in the same quote. The written scope should list every included surface, the proposed method, exclusions, and one combined price; no bundle saving is assumed unless the accepted quote states one.
Do you clean cool decks and Kool Deck surfaces?
Yes. Cool deck, the textured acrylic coating found on many Florida pool decks, is cleaned at low pressure with a product chosen for the coating rather than with a high-pressure surface cleaner, which can lift and pit the texture.
The written scope identifies the coating as documented on site, the proposed pressure, and the exclusions. Coatings that are already worn, chalking, or previously patched can shed during any cleaning, so those areas are noted before work is accepted.
