Pool Deck, Screen Enclosure & Lanai Cleaning Jacksonville, FL
Pool cages and screen enclosures collect a film of algae and pollen that regular pressure won’t touch without tearing the screen. We clean at a pressure that gets them clean without putting a hole in your screen.
Screen enclosures are one of the most common features on Jacksonville homes with pools, and they’re also one of the easiest things to damage with the wrong cleaning approach. The fine aluminum mesh that makes up a pool cage screen simply can’t handle the pressure levels that work fine on concrete or even siding — too much pressure, or the wrong nozzle angle, will tear right through it, turning a cleaning job into a screen replacement job. At the same time, that mesh collects a surprising amount of algae film, pollen, and general grime, especially in shaded or humid conditions, which is why enclosures often look far dirtier than homeowners expect when they finally take a close look. The pool deck underneath deals with its own version of the same problem — algae growth made worse by constant moisture, pool chemical splash-out, and shade from the enclosure itself.
Signs You Need Pool Deck & Screen Enclosure Cleaning
- A visible green or gray film coating the screen mesh, especially in shaded sections
- Pool deck surface that feels slippery even when it looks relatively clean
- Reduced visibility looking out through the screen compared to when it was new
- Black mold spots on the enclosure frame or deck grout lines
- A general dulling of the pool area’s appearance despite regular pool maintenance
Our Process
1. Screen Assessment
We check the condition and type of screen mesh to determine the appropriate pressure level and technique — different mesh grades tolerate different amounts of pressure.
2. Frame and Screen Cleaning
Low pressure combined with the right nozzle angle removes algae film and grime from the screen without tearing the mesh or bending the frame.
3. Pool Deck Cleaning
The deck surface, whether pavers, concrete, or another material, is cleaned separately with a pressure level appropriate to that specific material.
4. Final Rinse and Check
We do a full rinse and visual check of both the enclosure and deck to confirm no missed spots and no screen damage before finishing.
Why This Matters in Jacksonville’s Climate
The combination of shade from the enclosure structure itself, constant humidity, and pool splash-out creates an especially favorable environment for algae growth on both the screen and the deck below it. Homes in more open, sun-exposed yards tend to see slower buildup than those under additional tree canopy, which is common in established neighborhoods throughout Mandarin and Ortega.
What’s Included
- Screen enclosure frame and mesh cleaning without tearing
- Pool deck surface cleaning matched to the deck material
- Furniture-safe technique that avoids damaging deck furniture left in place
- Removal of the green algae film common on Florida screen enclosures
- Attention to grout lines and detail areas on paver or tile decks
What Affects Your Price
- Total enclosure size and screen condition
- Pool deck square footage and material type
- Height of the enclosure, since taller cages require different equipment
- Whether pavers on the deck also need sealing as a separate service

Frequently Asked Questions
Will pressure washing tear my screen enclosure?
Not with the correct technique — we use low pressure and the right nozzle angle specifically to avoid damaging screen mesh.
Why does my screen enclosure turn green so fast?
Florida’s humidity and shade from surrounding trees and the enclosure structure itself create ideal conditions for algae growth on screen mesh and frames.
Can you clean the pool deck at the same time?
Yes, pool deck and screen enclosure cleaning are usually done together in the same visit since they’re both affected by the same conditions.
Is the cleaning solution safe near my pool water?
We take care to avoid runoff into the pool itself and use appropriate technique near water features.
Can you clean enclosures with pets or furniture still inside?
Yes, we work carefully around furniture and can coordinate scheduling if pets need to be inside during the cleaning.
Do you offer recurring pool area cleaning?
Yes, many homeowners set up a recurring schedule for pool deck and enclosure cleaning given how quickly algae returns in a shaded, humid pool area.
