Torn panels, sagging mesh, storm damage, or a full rescreen — tell us about your enclosure once and we'll connect you with a local screen company for a free, no-obligation estimate.
Request My Free EstimateIt depends on cage size, screen type, and how much of the aluminum frame needs attention. Individual panel repairs often run under a couple hundred dollars; full rescreens on a standard pool cage commonly land in the $1,500–$4,000 range, with large or two-story cages and upgraded mesh adding to that. The free estimate you'll receive is based on your actual enclosure — that number is the one that counts.
A common rule of thumb from local pros: if screens are under ~8 years old and only a few panels are damaged, repair usually makes sense. If the mesh is brittle, sun-faded, or panels keep failing one after another, a full rescreen is often cheaper than repairing piecemeal over the next two years. A walkthrough estimate can price both options so you can compare.
Standard 18/14 fiberglass mesh keeps out most insects and is the most common and affordable choice. No-see-um mesh (20/20) has a tighter weave that blocks the tiny biting midges common near the water in Sarasota — it costs more and slightly reduces airflow, so many homeowners use it on walls and standard mesh on the roof.
Rescreening an existing cage generally doesn't require a permit. Building a new enclosure or replacing structural aluminum does — that work must be done by a licensed aluminum/structural contractor with an engineered plan filed with the county. If your project involves new structure, mention it in the form so we match you with a company set up for permitted work, and you can verify any contractor license at myfloridalicense.com.
Yes — estimates are free and there's no obligation to hire anyone. We're a matching service: we're paid by the screen companies we send project requests to, never by homeowners. You only pay a company if you decide to hire one, directly with them.
