St. Cloud Screen Enclosures Trusted Installation, Repair & Rescreening Company

Why St. Cloud Chooses Us

St. Cloud Screen Enclosures builds, repairs, and rescreens pool cages, patio enclosures, lanais, screen rooms, and entry enclosures all over St. Cloud and Osceola County. As a locally owned, family-operated business since 2009, we've completed over 1,200 screen enclosure and repair jobs for homeowners in Central Florida. Your outdoor area in St. Cloud should be comfortable, not just another maintenance task. Mosquitoes, leaves, pollen, UV rays, humidity, heavy rain, and storm-season winds can quickly damage screens and other components. When installing and repairing enclosures, we use aluminum framing, corrosion-resistant screws, durable screen mesh, reinforced doors, and pet-friendly screen options suited to Florida's conditions. Whether you need a single panel replaced, a full rescreening, or a new lanai enclosure, we handle measurements, permitting, material selection, and installation.

Our Mission

We help homeowners in St. Cloud get the most out of the space they already have. We keep the process simple, clarify the differences between screen materials, and suggest the option that fits the home, budget, pets, and lifestyle. Whether we're repairing a single torn panel or building a new screened enclosure, our goal is to create an outdoor area that feels cleaner, more comfortable, and easier to enjoy year-round.

Recent project: A 760 square foot patio enclosure with a pet door and a privacy screen

A homeowner in St. Cloud wanted to enclose the covered patio so the family could use it more often while still giving their dog easy access to the backyard. We enclosed 760 square feet, added a privacy screen on one side, installed a pet door, replaced the hardware on the existing patio door, and used heavier-duty mesh in the lower sections since that's where the pets were most likely to come into contact. The job took two working days and cost $6,280, including materials, labor, installation, and cleanup.

Screen Enclosure Installation

We provide construction and installation services for screen enclosures in St. Cloud, Kissimmee, and the surrounding Osceola County area, including full pool cages and individual door replacements. Each project begins with a site measurement, an inspection of your existing slab or footer, and framing specifications that meet local wind load requirements.

Pool Screen Enclosure Installation

A pool cage keeps leaves, frogs, mosquitoes, and other debris out of the water while reducing the need for skimming and maintenance. Our pool screen enclosures can be built in mansard, gable, or dome styles and use extruded aluminum framing that is either 2x2 or 2x3, with more substantial 2x5 or 2x7 beams used for greater span and higher loads. The enclosures are secured to the existing pool deck or a new footer using fastener spacing based on engineering principles. Available options include 18x14 fiberglass mesh or a tighter no-see-um screen, with finishes in white, bronze, or satin, pool-safe door positioning, and aluminum kick plates that protect the lower sections from damage by feet, hoses, pets, and equipment.

Patio & Porch Screen Enclosure Installation

Screening a patio or front porch is generally quicker than building a full pool cage, but it is still important to get the framing and anchoring right. Where possible, we fix the screening to the home's existing wall and roof structures in order to minimize the need for slab posts and maintain clear lines of sight. If the slab edge is cracked or too thin, we can suggest installing a new footer or extending the slab before installation. Front porch enclosures generally use low-profile aluminum framing to match the appearance of the house, while rear patio enclosures can have larger screen panels and wider door openings. Panel sizes are planned to be evenly spaced, so the final enclosure looks neat and well balanced.

Lanai Screen Enclosure Installation

In St. Cloud, the lanais are usually hidden by the house's existing roof, so the installation involves fitting custom-framed screen panels to each opening. We measure each bay, consider the slab slope, and size the aluminum framing accurately so the mesh stays taut and the final enclosure looks neat. Common upgrades are kick plates to protect the lower panels, pet-resistant screening, privacy mesh, and wider screen doors for the grills and furniture. When the existing lanai framing is still structurally sound, rescreening the lanai is often the more cost-effective choice than a full rebuild.

Aluminum Screen Enclosure Installation

Extruded aluminum framing is used for screen enclosures because it resists corrosion, humidity, and rot in the Florida climate. Frame sizes are determined by span and load, with 2x2 for screen panels and door frames, 2x3 for standard uprights and headers, and 2x5 or 2x7 for longer spans and roof-supporting beams. When possible, we choose durable powder-coated finishes to match the existing framing. We use fastener spacing as specified by engineering standards, and in areas exposed to pool chemicals and moisture, we use stainless or coated hardware for extra corrosion resistance.

Screen Room Installation

A screen room is a fully enclosed outdoor building with its own roof, usually built onto the back or side of the house. We use insulated aluminum roof panels or pan roofs, depending on the span and insulation requirements, and offer either fully screened walls or screening above a knee wall for a more polished look. When there is no existing slab, we arrange for the concrete foundation or slab to be poured and allow it to cure properly before starting the framing. Screen room installations in Osceola County generally require engineered drawings, permits, and inspections, which we handle as part of the installation process.

Custom Screen Enclosure Installation

When the backyard has curved decks, multi-level slabs, an outdoor kitchen, an irregular roofline, or a very narrow space used for equipment, we build custom screen enclosures to fit the site's real conditions. We measure the area on-site, draw up a layout, and place posts to clear obstacles like planters, downspouts, and pool equipment. We can also arrange custom designs to include taller entrances, allow for diving board clearance, provide connections to the second floor, and accommodate different roof heights. The panel size, beam depth, span, and post spacing are designed specifically for your property's exact dimensions rather than a standard enclosure template.

Clear View Pool Enclosure Installation

Clear-view screen enclosures, commonly called panoramic or picture-window pool cages, have fewer horizontal cross members and therefore produce larger screen panels with more open views of the yard, the lake, or the surrounding landscape. Because these longer spans must carry greater wind loads, we use deeper aluminum beams, reinforced framing, and site-specific engineering to prevent excessive deflection and ensure the structure remains strong. Although clear-view enclosures are generally more expensive than standard pool cages, they provide a cleaner, less obstructed view. Before we fabricate the panels, we review the layout so you know exactly where the other posts and beams will be placed.

Pool Fence Installation

A removable mesh fence for the pool provides a distinct safety barrier between the pool and the rest of the yard, separate from the screening enclosure. The fence sections fit into the deck sleeves and can be removed whenever you want the space completely open. Most such systems are four feet high and may have self-closing, self-latching gates. Since Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act requires an approved barrier for most residential pools, an approved removable pool fence can be a suitable choice. We measure the pool's perimeter, inspect the deck surface, set the correct sleeve spacing, and stretch the mesh to prevent sagging. You can also choose the mesh and post colors to match the surrounding deck and pool cage framing.

Motorized Patio Screen Installation

Motorized retractable screens offer flexible shade, insect protection, and privacy for covered patios and lanais while still allowing an open view when retracted. The systems can be mounted in the header or fitted into the soffit, with tensioned side tracks to improve wind resistance and controls that can be operated with a wall switch, a remote control, or smart-home integration. Available screen types include insect mesh, solar screen fabric, and clear vinyl for extra weather protection. Individual units usually cover openings up to about 20 feet wide; larger openings are generally split into two retractable screens using a central post or a shared header.

Screen Enclosure Repair Services

The most common issues we see with St. Cloud enclosures are torn panels, rusted fasteners, bent framing, and sagging doors, each requiring a separate fix. We repair individual panels, rebuild damaged sections, and completely rescreen the cages with Phifer screen and matching aluminum components.

Pool Screen Repair & Rescreening

A pool cage screen in Central Florida generally lasts 7 to 12 years before UV exposure makes it brittle, faded, and more prone to tearing. By that point, patching repairs stop being effective because the weakened mesh tends to crack at the sites of previous repairs. We offer both repairs to individual damaged panels and full rescreening of the pool cage when the mesh has degraded throughout. For a complete rescreen, we use American-made Phifer screen, clean the frame channels, and replace the spline in each section. It is also possible to combine different types of mesh, for example, using 18/14 fiberglass screen on the upper panels and pet-resistant mesh near the doors, walkways, and other high-traffic areas.

Patio and Porch Screen Enclosure Repair

Patio and porch screen enclosures are often damaged by furniture, grills, lawn equipment, and foot traffic, and the lower panels tend to wear out first. If the upper screen is still in good condition, we will replace only the damaged lower sections so that the repair costs are limited to the actual issue. We also repair the framework in cases of repeated screen failures, including tightening loose chair rails, rejoining separated corner joints, and securing wall fasteners that have worked themselves loose. On porches that see heavy use, you can install a mid-height chair rail to make future screen panel replacements easier and more affordable.

Aluminum Frame Repair

Since bent uprights, separated corners, and sagging beams can weaken the entire screen enclosure frame, these repairs are structural rather than merely cosmetic. For each damaged component, we check whether it can be straightened or must be replaced; if aluminum is creased or kinked, we usually cut it out and replace it with a matching extrusion. Our screen enclosure frame repairs include replacing bent uprights, re-securing header beams, fitting new corner brackets and gussets, splicing damaged sections, and re-anchoring posts to the deck. We use aluminum with the same profile, gauge, and finish as the original so that the repair fits properly with the original hardware and screen channels.

Rusted or Corroded Frame Repair

The aluminum screen enclosure framing does not rust, but the steel screws and anchors are prone to corrosion, especially at the base plates where the walls connect and in areas exposed to standing water or pool chemicals. Rust on an upright indicates failing hardware, not damaged aluminum. We substitute the corroded fasteners with stainless steel hardware, retighten any loose base plates, and insert new aluminum where pitting has weakened the frame. Addressing corrosion early helps prevent the uprights from shifting under wind load and may keep the repair to a single post rather than requiring a larger section of the structure.

Lanai Screen Repair

The lanai screen enclosures are attached directly to the house, so the joint where the wall meets the header is a common area that needs repair. When we check the fasteners where the aluminum frame meets the block or stucco, it is because water intrusion can loosen the anchors and cause hidden corrosion. Typical lanai screen repairs include rescreening sagging panels, replacing the spline, installing new Tapcon anchors with polyurethane sealant, resetting sliding door frames with new gaskets, and straightening or replacing bowed uprights. We also ensure that the finish of the frame matches the existing one—this is generally white, bronze or bare aluminium—so that the repairs look as if they have always been part of the original enclosure.

Screen Panel Replacement

Replacing a single screen panel is one of the most common repairs for screen enclosures and suits cases where the damage is confined to one section. To carry out the repair, we remove the damaged mesh and old spline, clean the frame channel, fit the new screen, and then roll in new spline to ensure the correct tension. Available mesh types include 18/14 fiberglass for airflow and visibility, 20/20 no-see-um mesh to keep gnats and midges out, pet-resistant mesh for high-traffic areas, and Florida Glass privacy screen for lower panels and equipment areas. Nearly all single-panel repairs can be completed in a single visit, with the mesh type and color matched to the surrounding enclosure for a neat finish.

Screen Door Repair & Replacement

Screen enclosure doors are used every day, making them one of the most common types of repairs needed. We repair doors that drag, have failed latches, worn rollers, or damaged hinges and closers; we also repair torn screens and address pet damage, including upgrading to pet-resistant mesh or fitting additional pet doors. With sliding screen doors, we replace the worn rollers and wheels; with swing doors, we look after the hinges, closers, handles, latches and strikes. If the door frame is bent or the corners have separated, a complete screen door replacement is usually more reliable than further repairs, and we fit a new door sized to the existing opening.

Storm-Damaged Screen Enclosure Repair

Strong winds can blow out screen panels, bend uprights, and, in some cases, cause parts of a pool cage or screen enclosure to collapse. After a storm, we fully inspect the entire structure—not just the obvious damage—and document each panel, beam, upright, and anchor to provide the documentation needed for insurance claims. Our storm-damage repairs for screen enclosures include replacing blown-out panels and rebuilding collapsed sections with new aluminum beams, uprights, and anchors. First, we secure the frame and anchors before rescreening, ensuring the enclosure is structurally sound before fitting the new mesh.

Screen Roof Repair

The roof panels of the screen enclosure take the most sunlight, debris, and storm damage, so they tend to fail before the wall screens. Branches from oak trees, palm fronds, leaves, and trapped moisture can pierce the mesh and speed up deterioration. We repair the pool cage roof by replacing torn roof panels, straightening bent purlins, and resecuring loose cross members without adding load to the existing frame. If the roof mesh is brittle throughout, a complete rescreening is usually more practical than repeated patching. You can also fit a more robust screen underneath any overhanging trees to increase durability.

Why We're the Best Screen Enclosure

Company in St Cloud

We build screen enclosures in St. Cloud with a measured process: an on-site evaluation, engineered drawings, permitting through Osceola County, and installation by our own crews. The materials we use — aluminum framing, fasteners, and screen mesh — are selected to handle Florida humidity, UV exposure, and wind loads.

What Does Our Expert Screen Enclosure Process Involve?

We begin with a free measurement of your pool deck, patio, or lanai. The slab's condition matters at this stage because anchor placement depends on concrete thickness and distance from the edge. Next, we produce a layout showing panel spacing, door locations, and the roof type—mansard, gable, or flat. Next, we complete the engineering and obtain the necessary permits; since St. Cloud requires sealed plans and inspections, we prepare and submit the plans ourselves and arrange the inspections. The installation itself usually takes two to five days for a standard pool enclosure, depending on its size and the weather conditions. Finally, we do a walkthrough to check the door closers, screen tension, gutter alignment, and self-closing latches required by Florida pool barrier regulations.

Once the permit is issued, we schedule installation in a set sequence:

Anchoring: base plates and columns secured to the slab
Framing: beams, purlins, and chair rails assembled
Screening: spline-installed panels, door hardware set
Inspection: final county sign-off

Most residential lanai enclosures take two to four days of on-site labor. Pool cages with mansard roofs generally require longer.

Which Materials Do We Provide for Screen Enclosures?

The frames are made from extruded 6063-T6 aluminum profiles, available in sizes from 2 inches by 2 inches to 2 inches by 9 inches, with sizes determined by span and wind load. Powder-coated finished surfaces are available in white, bronze, and satin black.

We also install insulated aluminum roof panels on covered patios, including kickplates on the lower sections, since that is where damage is most likely. We use stainless steel or coated fasteners to prevent corrosion, and structural screws rated for the uplift values shown on the engineered plans.

Planning & Timeline

In St. Cloud, most screen enclosure projects move from the first site visit to the final inspection in four to eight weeks, with permitting taking up a major part of that time. The following explains what happens at each stage, how we measure your space, and how we determine the layout before we erect any posts.

How Long Does Screen Enclosure Installation Take?

The physical build is usually the shortest part of the project. A standard patio rescreen takes one day. A new patio or porch enclosure of 200 - 400 square feet typically takes 2 - 4 days of on-site work. Full pool cages with mansard or gable roofs generally run four to seven days, depending on height and span.

The full calendar timeline looks different because of permitting through Osceola County or the City of St. Cloud:

Phase	Typical Duration
Site visit and quote	1-3 Days
Design and engineering drawings	3-10 Days
Permit review and approval	2 - 4 Weeks
Material fabrication and delivery	1 - 2 Weeks
Installation	1 - 7 Days
Final Inspection	3 - 7 Days

Weather and county review backlogs are the two variables that shift these numbers most often.

Custom Screen Enclosure Installation Timeline

Custom structures add steps that stock designs skip. When your enclosure requires an engineered wind load calculation, a new concrete footer, or a non-standard roof pitch, we build in additional time for drawings and review

Here is how a custom pool cage typically progresses:

Week 1: Site Measurement & Consultation

Field measurements, design review, material options, and written estimate.

Weeks 1–2: Custom Design & Engineering

Final layout, roof configuration, structural calculations, and engineered drawings.

Weeks 2–3: Permit Submission

Plans are submitted for local permitting and required review.

Weeks 4–6: Permit Approval & Site Preparation

Permit approval, material ordering, and any required concrete footer or slab work.

Week 7: Frame & Screen Installation

Aluminum framing is assembled, anchored, and screened.

Week 8 — Final Inspection & Walkthrough

Final county inspection, punch-list review, and homeowner walkthrough.

Projects requiring a new slab add roughly seven to ten days for pouring and cure time. We confirm all dates in writing before work begins.

Screen Enclosure Design Process

How you intend to use the space is the starting point. For example, the requirements for a screened lanai for morning coffee differ from those for a pool cage, which must clear a diving board and comply with setback rules.

We discuss four decisions with every client:

Structural Type

Flat pan, mansard, gable, or hip roof

Framing Size

2x2 for small patios, up to 2x9 for wide-span pool cages

Screen Mesh

18/14 standard, 20/20 no-see-um, or pet-resistant panels

Openings

Door placement, kickplate height, and window panel layout

Frame color is usually bronze or white in St. Cloud neighborhoods. We also check HOA guidelines early, since some communities in the area restrict color and roof style.

Measuring Your Space for Screen Enclosures

Accurate field measurements prevent the two most common problems: panels that do not seat properly and structures that violate setback requirements.

Our measurement visit covers:

Measure the Slab: Slab dimensions, including any slope or drainage pitch

Check Existing Footers: Verify footer depth, width, and condition to determine whether the structure can be properly anchored.

Inspect Attachment Points: Measure and evaluate fascia, block walls, truss lines, and other areas where the screen enclosure will connect to the home..

Confirm Height & Clearance: Check soffit, eave, roofline, and door clearances to ensure the framing and screen panels fit correctly.

Verify Setbacks & Easements: Measure property-line distances and identify easements or restricted areas that could affect permitting or screen enclosure placement.

We check the slab for levelness along its entire length, and if it drops more than an inch over 20 feet, the posts must be cut and anchored accordingly. We take measurements on site, not just from the plat drawing. Since Osceola County requires a survey for most new enclosure permits, we use it along with our field measurements.

Screen Enclosure Layout and Planning

Layout determines where uprights land, how panels are divided, and where you walk through. Post spacing is driven by wind load. In St. Cloud, enclosures are engineered for the local design wind speed, which generally means uprights every 5 to 8 feet depending on frame size and screen height.

A few planning points worth settling early:

Door swing — outward-opening doors are standard, but confirm clearance from pool coping and walkways
Panel width — narrower panels resist wind better; wider panels give clearer views
Kickplate placement — helpful at high-traffic doors and along pet paths
Gutter and downspout routing — downspouts often need rerouting around new posts

We mark post locations on the slab with chalk before installation so you can see the layout in place and request changes at no cost.

Cost & Budget

Screen enclosure pricing in St. Cloud depends on square footage, frame gauge, mesh type, and the wind-load engineering required by Osceola County. Below we break down current price ranges, what drives them, and how we structure payments so you can plan realistically before signing anything.

Screen Enclosure Pricing Guide

Most contractors in our area price enclosures by the square foot of screened area, then adjust for height, roof style, and structural requirements.

Project Type	Typical Range
Rescreening an existing enclosure	$1,200 – $4,500
Patio or lanai screen enclosure	$4,000 – $12,000
Pool cage (new build, standard size)	$12,000 – $30,000
Screen room with insulated roof	$3,000 – $10,000
Single-panel replacement	$50–$250+

In St. Cloud the price of new aluminium screen enclosures generally varies between about $10 and $30 or more per square foot, the exact amount depending on the type of enclosure, its height, the roof design, the engineering involved and the wind-load requirements; standard patio enclosures are usually at the lower end of the scale whereas taller pool cages, gable roofs and picture-window designs are more expensive.

How Much Do Screen Enclosures Cost?

Several specific variables move your number within those ranges.

Frame Size

2x2 framing works for smaller patios. Pool cages over 10 feet tall typically require 2x3 or 2x5 super gutter beams, adding material cost.

Mesh Selection

Standard 18x14 fiberglass is the baseline. No-See-Um 20x20 mesh runs about 15–25% more. Pet-resistant screen and Florida Glass panels cost more still.

Wind Rating

Osceola County sits in a 130–140 mph design wind zone. Engineering, anchor spacing, and heavier extrusions are code requirements here, not upgrades.

Site Conditions

Existing footers, deck condition, and slab thickness affect prep. Concrete work adds $2,000–$6,000 when a new footer is needed.

Screen Enclosure Budget Planning

Receive a FREE Quote

We recommend building your budget in 3 parts: structure, permitting, and finishing details.

Base structure — framing, mesh, hardware, and labor. This is usually 70–80% of total cost.
Permits and engineering — sealed drawings and Osceola County permit fees typically run $500–$1,500.
Contingency — set aside 10% for slab repair, drainage corrections, or fascia replacement discovered during installation.

If the pool project you're working on isn't complete yet, arrange the enclosure early. It is cheaper to pour a deck once the cage footprint is decided than to cut and retrofit the footers later. For rescreens, base your budget on the number of panels. Measure the cage and count the panels before asking for quotes since this makes it much easier to compare the options.

Screen Enclosure Cost vs. Stock Alternatives

Homeowners often compare a custom enclosure against prefabricated or temporary options.

Stock Alternatives

Although prefabricated screen enclosure kits may have a lower initial cost and are suitable for simple rectangular patios situated on flat slabs, the standard sizes usually mean that adjustments are needed for pools, roof lines, and the position of doors, and many of the kits fail to provide the sealed engineering required by Florida's wind-load regulations. Moreover, lighter aluminum extrusions, non-structural fasteners, and limited warranties can also reduce their long-term value.

Screen Enclosures

A bespoke screen enclosure generally costs about 20 to 35 percent more than a standard kit because it is tailored to your property, designed to meet local wind loads, and approved to comply with relevant Florida code requirements. Moreover, custom framing eliminates fitting problems and the associated correction expenses that can occur when a prefabricated enclosure fails inspection or doesn't properly match the existing slab and roofline.

Our custom enclosures are measured to your slab, tied into your existing structure, and specified to pass inspection. The material cost is higher, but total installed cost is frequently comparable — and the fit is exact.

Hidden Screen Enclosure Costs

These items surprise homeowners most often, so we identify them during the estimate rather than after work starts

Permits & Plan Reviews

Required for new enclosures and most structural repairs in St. Cloud. Rescreens generally do not require one.

Footer work:

Older decks sometimes lack adequate footers. Adding them means concrete cutting and cure time.

Gutter modifications:

Attaching to a home often requires super gutter installation or existing gutter removal.

Demolition & Haul-Away

Tear-off of a storm-damaged cage adds disposal costs, typically $400–$1,200.

Landscaping restoration

Equipment access can affect sod and beds along the work path.

Electrical Relocation

Outlets, lights, or fans in the path of new framing need a licensed electrician.

Rescreening cost also depends on panel size. Large spans need stronger mesh, and that raises material cost beyond a basic per-square-foot rate.

We structure payments around project milestones rather than requiring the full amount upfront.

Screen Enclosures Payment Plans

A typical schedule looks like this:

Deposit at contract signing to cover materials and permit submission
Progress payment once framing is set and inspected
Final payment after screening is complete and you have walked the finished enclosure

Florida law limits the amount you can deposit upfront on residential improvement contracts, and we follow those requirements. We accept payments by cheque, ACH transfer, and major credit cards. For larger pool cage projects, third-party financing through home improvement lenders is available; the terms and interest rates are determined by the lender, not by us. Insurance claims relating to hurricane damage are frequent in our area. We provide detailed documentation and photos in a format suitable for adjusters and can deal directly with your insurance company about the scope of repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Enclosures

Installation & Repair in St. Cloud, FL

Pricing, permitting, build timelines, and screen material choices come up in nearly every conversation we have with homeowners in St. Cloud. Below are straightforward answers based on the projects we handle across Osceola County.

The cost of most new pool cage enclosures in our area ranges from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on square footage, roof style, and framing size. A plain flat-pan or mansard type of cage over a standard 15 by 30 foot pool usually ends up in the lower part of that price range, while gable-style roofs, two-storey enclosures, and extended screen rooms which include structural improvements are more expensive since they call for more aluminum and extra engineering. Small projects have different prices; for example, a screened front entrance or a covered patio enclosure usually costs between $3,000 and $8,000. We issue written estimates after measuring the site because the slab condition, existing footers, and access all affect the amount of labor required.

Certainly. Screen enclosures are considered permanent constructions according to the Florida Building Code, and in both the City of Kissimmee and the unincorporated area of Osceola County, a building permit is necessary for any new construction. Generally, permit applications require engineered drawings, a site survey or plot plan showing the setbacks, and wind-load calculations. Inspections usually cover the footer, framing, and final stage. If your property is in an HOA, you usually need architectural approval before submitting the permit application. We handle permit submission and arrange inspections as part of the project. A simple screen replacement on an existing frame doesn't require a permit because the structure itself remains unchanged.

The construction process typically takes 3 to 7 working days for an ordinary residential pool cage. The longer timeline is acceptable. The review of plans in St. Cloud usually takes between two and four weeks, although the time required does vary depending on the volume. From contract signing to final inspection, the average homeowner should plan for four to eight weeks. The rescreening and repair work progress quickly—often finishing in one or two days — and usually don't require a permit.

Rescreening typically costs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot of screen area, or roughly $1,200 to $3,500 for a full pool cage. Cost depends on the mesh you select, the number of panels, and whether spline channels or hardware need replacement. Pet-resistant mesh and solar screen sit at the higher end. Partial rescreening is an option when only a few panels have failed. We price individual panel replacement separately, which often makes more sense than redoing the entire cage.

18 by 14 fiberglass mesh is the most commonly used type for most enclosures because it is economical, resists UV degradation to a reasonable extent, and generally lasts five to eight years when exposed to the sun. The 20 by 20 "no-see-um" mesh has a more tightly woven structure to prevent the small biting insects usually found near Lake Tohopekaliga and East Lake Toho. Compared to standard mesh, it allows slightly less airflow. Pet-resistant screening is made from heavier vinyl-coated polyester and can withstand scratches from claws and impacts; we suggest using it for the lower panels and door sections in houses with dogs. Solar or privacy screening blocks 60 to 90% of incoming sunlight, reducing surface temperatures on west-facing patios.

In most cases, the answer is yes; aluminum frames tend to stay in good condition even when the mesh wears out, so rescreening restores the enclosure without rebuilding it. We also sort out any bent or corroded frame members, tighten loose anchors, fit new door hardware and closers, and fit pet doors onto the existing panels. Storm damage is often repairable one panel at a time. Upgrades we carry out on older buildings include replacing the standard mesh with no-see-um or solar screen, fitting kickplates, and replacing worn screen doors with self-closing ones. When corrosion has affected several structural members or the enclosure was built before the current wind load standards were introduced, replacement is usually the better option. After the inspection, we will let you know which situation you're in.
