Investing in a pool cage or screen enclosure for your home is a significant decision that requires careful consideration of quality and durability, especially when it comes to screen enclosure beams. At Commercial Residential Aluminum (CRA), we prioritize selecting the right materials and design to safeguard and elevate your outdoor living areas. Here’s why our solutions stand out:
Customized Excellence
Unlike many aluminum specialty companies that use stock materials, CRA takes a different approach. Each enclosure we create is site-specific and engineered to meet the stringent guidelines of the Florida Building Code. This ensures your enclosure is tailored to withstand the specific environmental challenges of your location.
Streamlined Process
Once you’ve selected your design, CRA manages all engineering and permitting as required by the State of Florida and your local county regulations. Our production facility operates under controlled conditions, allowing us to prefabricate your custom enclosure with meticulous attention to detail. This approach expedites the installation process and minimizes disruption to your property.
