Screen repair and re-screening in SW Florida.

Torn lanai panels, a sagging pool cage, a screen door that will not latch. We put the barrier back between you and the no-see-ums, one panel or one whole enclosure at a time.

One panel or the whole enclosure

Screen does not fail all at once. A branch takes out one panel, the sun works on the south side for a few seasons, a dog leans on the lower run, and one day the whole enclosure looks tired. We handle it at whatever stage you have caught it.

If two panels are torn and the rest of the mesh still has life in it, we will tell you that and charge you for two panels. If the screen has gone brittle and grey across the whole structure, patching it is throwing money away, and we will say that too. You get the honest read either way.

Choosing the right mesh

Most enclosures in Lee, Charlotte and Collier counties are screened with standard 18x14 fiberglass mesh, which handles mosquitoes and keeps the leaves out. It is the right call for a lot of homes and the most affordable option.

It is not the only option, though, and the difference matters if you live near water or have pets. We carry tighter no-see-um mesh for coastal properties where the standard weave lets the tiny biters straight through, heavier pet-grade mesh for the lower panels a dog actually pushes against, and solar screen that cuts the afternoon heat on a west-facing lanai.

  • Standard 18x14 fiberglass: the everyday choice, best visibility for the price
  • No-see-um 20x20: tighter weave for coastal and canal-front homes
  • Pet-grade: heavy vinyl-coated polyester for the lower run
  • Solar screen: knocks down glare and heat on sun-exposed sides

Why screens fail early in Florida

Ultraviolet light is what actually kills screen down here. The mesh goes chalky, loses its flex, and then a windy afternoon finishes it. Salt air accelerates the same process and goes to work on the fasteners and the frame behind the mesh.

The other quiet killer is spline that was installed dry or reused. Spline is the rubber cord that wedges the mesh into the frame channel, and when it hardens it stops gripping. The screen starts to ripple, then it pops a corner, then the whole panel goes. We install fresh spline on every panel we touch, which is why our panels stay tight instead of billowing a year later.

Good to know

Screens questions.

It depends on panel count, mesh type and how high the crew has to work, which is why we quote on site rather than over the phone. What we can tell you up front is that the estimate is free, there is no deposit, and if you have a written quote from another company we will beat it on the same scope.

Yes, and often that is the right answer. A single-panel repair is a normal call for us. The one thing to know is that brand-new mesh next to ten-year-old mesh will look slightly different in colour, because the old screen has faded in the sun.

Standard mesh will not reliably stop them. For that you want the tighter 20x20 no-see-um weave, which we install regularly on canal-front and coastal properties. It cuts airflow and visibility a little, so many homeowners use it on the water-facing side only.

Most single lanais are a one-day job. A large pool cage, especially a two-story one, can run into a second day. We will give you the realistic timeline with the written estimate rather than a hopeful one.

Both. Bent members, corroded fasteners, pulled anchors and loose kickplates all get handled. There is no point stretching new mesh onto a frame that is coming apart, so we look at the structure before we quote the screen.

Not necessarily, as long as the crew has access to the enclosure and the water is on if we need it. Plenty of our re-screens happen while the homeowner is at work. We will confirm access arrangements when we schedule.
