Our first birdcage was done by Brian Terry Vinyl (BTV), and I wish I had gone with them on our 2nd. They were fantastic - no subs, they do all the work themselves. They put you in a queue, so you may have to wait, but once they started they were done in a week including concrete and cage.

Our 2nd one I went with Kilcrease construction because BTV had a 1 year wait list and I couldn't wait that long. Kilcrease used all subs, the concrete was the worst I've ever seen, and it took forever. Luckily, his cage guy was extremely good, and we decided to install a pool the next year, so we covered up all the crappy 1,300 sq ft of concrete with a pool and pavers.

Even if BTV has a wait list, I would get an estimate. They were considerably lower than all the other companies I got an estimate from (T&D, Whites, and another I can't remember), and the work was fantastic!

The pet screen is worth every penny. We have 2 Maine Coons, 22 lbs each. They tear up regular screen chasing lizards and birds... the pet screen has yet to tear in the last 3 years.

For what it's worth, we added the Sunshine Screens canvas top to 3/4 of our 1,300 sq ft birdcage. It's fantastic. Keeps us shaded and out of the rain during the summer and inclement weather - we can use the cage year round... and we do!
