Tampa Screen Repair

Most single-story pool cage rescreens in the Tampa area land between $1,100 and $2,000, and two-story enclosures run $1,900 to $3,400. The spread comes down to panel count, whether the roof screens are included, mesh grade, and how much ladder or staging work the height requires. We quote a flat written price on site so the number does not move.

A standard single-story cage is usually a one-day job. Two-story enclosures and cages needing frame repair typically run two days. Small lanais and patios are often done in a few hours. We give you a realistic window at the estimate rather than promising same-day on everything.

Yes, and we do not inflate the price to make the trip worthwhile. Single panels typically run $35 to $65 for lanai and patio openings. One thing to know: if the surrounding mesh is more than five or six years old, a brand-new panel will visibly stand out against the faded ones. We tell you that up front so you can decide whether to do a section instead.

For most Tampa homes, charcoal 18x14 fiberglass is the right balance of visibility, airflow and cost, and it lasts five to eight years here. Upgrade selectively rather than everywhere: 20x20 no-see-um mesh if sand gnats get through, pet-resistant polyester on the lower panels and door zones if you have dogs, and Florida Glass on kick plates where splash and scuffing do the damage.

We repair the frame. Corroded uprights, pulled anchors, loose fasteners and sagging beams all get inspected during the estimate, because new mesh stretched onto a frame that cannot hold tension will sag within a season. If we find frame issues, they are itemized on your quote before any work starts.

Plan on every five to eight years for standard fiberglass in the Tampa climate. UV exposure and humidity age the mesh faster here than in most of the country. Signs it is time: mesh that has gone gray or chalky, panels that sag when you press them, brittle screen that tears at a touch, or spline working its way out of the channel.

Yes. No-see-um mesh is a tighter 20x20 weave that blocks the midges and sand gnats standard 18x14 lets through. It is worth knowing the trade-off: the tighter weave cuts airflow and visibility somewhat, so many homeowners install it only on the sides where the problem is worst rather than the whole enclosure.

Pet mesh is vinyl-coated polyester rated at roughly seven times the tear strength of standard fiberglass, and it holds up to normal scratching, leaning and paw pressure. A determined large dog running at full speed can still get through it. The most cost-effective approach is pet mesh on the lower panels and around doors, standard mesh above, since that is where nearly all pet damage happens.

Only for the estimate and the final walkthrough. Once the price is approved, most customers hand off access to the enclosure and go about their day. We text you when we arrive, when we finish, and if anything unexpected turns up in the frame.

Yes, and we run priority scheduling for it. We photograph and document all damage before touching anything so you have what you need for an insurance claim, then handle blown-out panels, torn roof screens and bent framing. After named storms our lead time stretches, so call as early as you can.
