Most of my work is pool enclosures, screened patios and lanais, and repairs after storms. A new enclosure starts with measuring the area, checking the slab or footing it will attach to, and drawing the design with the right beam sizes for the span, because in hurricane regions the structure has to be engineered and permitted for wind loads. Aluminium framing is cut and assembled on site: beams, columns and purlins fastened to the slab and the house, set plumb and square so the doors close properly and the screen panels fit. Then screening, stretching each panel tight in its channel with spline, choosing standard or heavier pet-resistant or no-see-um screen depending on what the customer needs. Rescreening older enclosures is a big part of my business, replacing torn or sun-rotted screen across a whole enclosure in a day or two. Storm damage brings a rush of calls for bent beams and blown-out panels. Permits and inspections apply to new structures. I quote by the enclosure with the engineering and permit fees listed, and take a deposit to order materials.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a screen enclosure installer's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a screen enclosure installer — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
