Solid As A Rock

Solid As A Rock

SW Florida took a major hit with Hurricane Ian. Just about every home here in Cape Coral needs screening, pool cages, and fencing replaced. As we start to mend it is the best time to bring everything else up to date. We do have the blessing of glorious sunshine almost 365 days out of the year. But that has a price to it. Outdoor finishes came become faded. This is the perfect time to refresh your outdoor living space. Here’s a great example:

Hurricane Ian crumbled the homeowners lanai cage and brought in debris literally flying through the air and causing cracks in the faux rock water features of the pool. The first step was to clean off the surface and repair the cracks. Next step was to bring the mold faux rock back to the glory of looking like Pennsylvania flagstone.


To create the look here’s a lis of the colors used:

Valspar Porch paint light grey ( reduced by half tone)

Valspar Duramax Flat finish :

Curio Gray HGSW0024

Software HGSW7074

Falcon taupe HGSW2493

Otter HGSW6041

Faux Effects Red Oxide

Outdoor Acrylic Raw Sienna

The results are realistic. Here’s a look at various angles and closeups around the waterfall, hot tub, and step into the pool:
