Pool cages and rebuilds

Excellent customer service and product. We upgraded our lanai framing and screens from the original 1980s to panoramic and it is amazing. Austin took the time to talk through options, what materials they would use, length of time to install and cost. His employees are also kind quiet efficient and courteous . Absolutely would recommend.

We worked with Austin, Stacy, and crew to repair damage from Hurricane Milton to our pool cage. We lost many screens and had some frame damage as well. They got back with us and let us know they were very busy, and we were on their list. I know every contractor was inundated after the storm, but I really appreciated that they at least let us know they wanted our business. Austin came out and gave us an estimate and explained the work. They came out and started the work when they said and were finished exactly when they said. Everyone was friendly and professional. Most of all, we love the work they did. I will not hesitate in recommending them to our friends and neighbors.

Backwater Aluminum repaired our super gutter on the lanai, replaced the screen on the pool cage and repaired the cage following Hurricane Ian damage. The crew was professional, on time and completed the work in a timely manner. All the work was completed as expected without any problems or issues. The cost of the work was reasonable unlike many other contractors that we had bids from! There were no unexpected surprises or issues that were suggested to add to the expense! Super work! Thank you Backwater!

Austin and his crew were extremely professional and timely. They removed and installed a new patio roof for us. We were amazed at their team work and the quickness with which they completed the project. Exceeded our expectations. Customer satisfaction was a top priority for them. Definitely recommend.

Blackwater Aluminum is an excellent choice on any lanai project. Austin and his team are honest, clean, hard working and professional. Blackwater Aluminum works hard to get the best possible result, and communicate with the customers. We would highly recommend Blackwater Aluminum for any screening or lanai projects you may need.

You will not get better quality than Backwater Aluminum. When contractors are asking you who did you use! You know the quality is good. I did a full undercover lanai. The cement is beautiful and the structure is solid! Couldn't be happier. Austin is wonderful to work with.

We had the screen roof taken off our Lani and a solid roof put in. What a difference. Austin and his crew went above and beyond. Great professional work. So good that we then had them screen in our entry way. Complete with a 4' custom screen door. I would recommend them to anyone.

Rescreens and repairs

Fantastic 5-star service from Back Water Aluminum! Austin repaired torn screens on our pool cage; he reattached and straightened wind-damaged framing, and fixed our loose gutter guards. Austin also adjusted our front screen door, which was scraping along the concrete (no more scratching). Punctual, skilled, and honest work from start to finish. We are happy and definitely recommend Austin from Back Water Aluminum!

JamesGoogle review

Austin and his helper did an excellent job repairing my screen door, I highly recomend backwater alum

Robert FarmanianGoogle review

Austin is a great guy. So very helpful and came out days b4 the original date. Even gave us a stronger screen, but most of all he went above and beyond on his own and fixed another screen without having to ask him too. I will definitely use him again. The price was very reasonable too.

Terry BarrettGoogle review

Austin was amazing. From the very 1st moment we spoke about the project until after we received the final inspection approval, he was right there. On time, on budget, incredibly polite, customer focused and skilled. Backwater Aluminum was the light at the end of a very dark tunnel with other contractors we had used due to damage from Hurricane Ian. I highly recommend them; call me if you’d like a referral because Austin will NOT disappoint.

Cassie SillettiGoogle review

Backwater Aluminum did a fantastic job on home. Thanks to them I can finally enjoy my lanai without being eaten alive. The quality of work matched their efforts for transparency with their customers, breaking down every cost that goes into the job to simply answering any of my questions. Highly recommend to anyone looking for screening.

Vic CatellaGoogle review

We were very pleased with our new door and rescreening. The work was completed quickly and efficiently. This is the second job they have completed for us and we would recommend them without hesitation.

Yvonne SprungerGoogle review

Excellent service. Quick response even with all the people needing service due to the recent hurricane damages. You can never fault a company for having excellent communication skills along with great service and reasonable prices.

Rick PeleskeGoogle review

They showed up on time to my house they were very professional and got the job done quick and still providing top notch quality. I’ll use them again in the future for all my screening needs

Karlin JefferyGoogle review

Out of several companies I contacted and tried to contract, Backwater Aluminum was the only one that showed up to give me an estimate and follow through. They were punctual and completed the work on schedule and on budget as promised. They did the aluminum repairs and screening on both my lanais and the work was quality. Finding reliable and quality contractors is very difficult these days so I’m grateful I found Backwater Aluminum and highly recommend them, a pleasure to do business with.

Austin kept us notified of service scheduling and completion including photos. Reasonable pricing as well. 5 stars!

Robert ArlowGoogle review

The workmanship was beautiful. Went above all I expected. Austin's personality, cleanliness on the job. I was extremely happy. He did Xtra without me asking. His price was literally half of two of my other estimates. Anything I asked was never a question of being done perfectly. If you don't call him for an estimate, your making a mistake. He's the company shows up when he says.

RobertGoogle review

Pleasantly surprised at the very affordable price. Less than the three other estimates I received. Premier products used and completely customized. Friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful of my property. Extremely responsive with any and all questions. !!VERY HAPPY!!

Justin RyanGoogle review

Austin and the crew performed a great job on my handrails off my pool deck. Austin was one of the few that actually showed up to even give me a quote and listen to my request. Austin provided me with a reasonable quote and was great on scheduling. I can say the integrity, punctuality, and professionalism was well appreciated.
