Why the pool cage matters in Florida
Screen enclosures are a big part of Florida pool life. They keep leaves and debris out of the water, block most insects and small animals, and make the pool area usable through bug season. A screened pool usually needs less cleaning, too.
Florida weather is hard on them. Sun makes screen brittle, afternoon storms and tropical weather tear panels loose, and doors take daily wear. Pool screen enclosure repair covers everything from a single torn panel to doors, hardware and storm damage to the aluminum frame.
What can be repaired
- Single panel rescreening for tears, holes and pulled-out screen
- Full rescreens when screen is faded, brittle or mismatched
- Spline replacement where the rubber strip holding screen has dried out
- Doors, including hinges, latches, closers and kick plates
- Screws and fasteners that have rusted or worked loose
- Frame repairs to bent or broken aluminum members
- Gutters and flashing where the enclosure meets the roof
Choosing a screen type
| Screen type | What it is good for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Standard pool screen | Everyday debris and bug protection with good airflow and visibility | Easier for pets to tear |
| Pet-resistant screen | Heavier weave for homes with dogs or cats | Slightly less see-through |
| No-see-um screen | Finer mesh that blocks very small insects | Less airflow |
| Privacy or solar screen | Cuts glare, heat and views from outside, often used on lower panels | Darker, less airflow |
After a storm
- Stay clear. Keep everyone out from under bent, cracked or hanging frame members.
- Document it. Take wide and close photos before anything is moved.
- Check the pool. Debris in the water can clog the skimmer and pump. A one-time cleaning can help.
- Call your insurer if you plan to file a claim.
- Request a pro to assess whether the damage is screen, hardware or structural.
What affects screen enclosure repair cost
- Number and size of panels being rescreened, including tall roof panels
- Screen type, since heavier and specialty screens cost more
- Doors and hardware that need replacing
- Frame damage, which can involve engineering or permits
- Access, such as height and working over the pool

Screen enclosure questions
How do I find pool screen repair near me?
Send a request with your city, how many panels are damaged and whether the frame is bent. Dominion Pool Pros passes it to an independent local pro who repairs screen enclosures in your area.
How much does it cost to repair a pool screen enclosure?
It depends on how many panels need new screen, the screen type, the size and height of the panels, and whether doors, closers or frame members need work. Structural frame damage is a much bigger job than rescreening. Ask for a quote that lists panels and parts.
Can I replace just a few screen panels instead of the whole cage?
Usually, yes. Individual panels can be rescreened. Some homeowners choose a full rescreen when many panels are faded or brittle so the whole enclosure matches. A pro can help you decide.
What type of screen should I choose?
Standard pool screen is the most common. Many pros also offer heavier pet-resistant screen, finer no-see-um screen for small insects, and denser privacy or solar screen that cuts glare. Each looks and ventilates differently, so ask to see samples.
What should I do if a storm damaged my pool cage?
Stay out from under bent or hanging frame members, keep people and pets away, and take photos. Contact your insurance company if you plan to file a claim. Then request a pro to assess the damage. Structural repairs may need a permit, and the pro can explain what applies.
