I've used Lightning Aluminum for several projects on the patio, installing dog doors, installing kick plates around the bottom of the entire enclosure and doing a rescreen from a termite tenting job. I usually have the same tech come out, he was quick and professional. He had the job done right the first time and even was careful about watching out for my dogs while there. These guys are my go to for the patio enclosure.

They did what they said they would do for a very fair price. I had quotes up to $20000.00 for the same job. I was very satisfied.

Lightning was hired as a sub contractor by Larsons Pool and Spa. They were the first on the job removing my old pool enclosure. They arrived on the day requested, and within 6 hours had the entire enclosure taken apart, loaded up and removed from the site. The day after the pool was completed, they came to begin constructing the new enclosure. All materials were delivered and construction began the following day. The guys were very pleasant, and answered our many questions. The entire job took three full days as there were only two men working. We were told the entire job would take 1 1/2 days.

The insulated roof was installed the first day. They cut and assembled all the aluminum on site and built the roof beams on the ground. The side walls were put up and screened first, the roof beams were put up the next day and screened. All the finishing touches and caulking was completed.

I was told everything would be cleaned up and we would never know they had been there. When everything was done, they used a high powered leaf blower to blow all the debris and all the scraps of aluminum and screening material was picked up.

The problem I had with this was 3 fold. I had a new deck built with concrete pavers. The pavers were just installed and sanded. The blower used to clean up removed a great deal of sand, and also left plenty of gaps between the pavers for tiny aluminum shavings to become embedded. I spent several evenings with a tiny pick and a little trash can picking hundreds of very sharp curled up coils of aluminum shavings that could have worked like splinters in bare feet around the pool. While I got most of them, I am still finding bits of aluminum in the sand. I'm not sure if there is any way to prevent this issue with pavers, but a tarp or plastic sheet may have helped in the drilling and cutting process. I have also heard this is not an uncommon issue in drilling screws into aluminum. It was not a huge problem, just more of an inconvenience in the cleanup for me and concern for young toes. I am writing this here, but did not really make a big issue of it to the company.

There was a small leak in the end of one of the gutters that are attached to the downspout. We did not see it, but heard it dripping after the first heavy rain. I called John, the owner and explained the issue. He sent someone out the following day and they caulked around the entire gutter end cap. It rained again that evening, and the leak did not occur again, so hopefully that will not be a problem again.

While all these issues seem very minor, mentioning them may help prevent them on the next job.

Overall, I am more than happy with my new screen enclosure. It looks beautiful, it is very well built and I am sure it will withstand the test of time and weather for many years to come.
