Every Screen Repair Question, Answered

No — every estimate is free, written, and firm. The number you approve is the number you pay, and our best price guarantee means a lower written quote from a licensed competitor gets beaten.

Yes. Mobilization is a real cost, so bundling panels, doors, and window screens into one visit always prices better than separate calls — as does booking with neighbors.

Pet-resistant mesh (a heavier vinyl-coated polyester) on the lower panels solves it for most homes. It costs a little more per panel but survives claws that shred standard fiberglass instantly.

If the aluminum frame is straight and free of serious corrosion, a rebuild — hinges, closer, sweep, and fresh mesh — restores it for a fraction of replacement cost. If the frame is bent or rotted at the corners, replacement is the honest answer, and we will say so.

Yes — the line-item quote makes that easy. The usual phasing is structure and fasteners first (the safety items), then refinish and rescreen. We will sequence it so no phase undoes an earlier one.

Single panels typically start around $60–$90; full pool cage rescreens in Jupiter usually run $1,500–$4,500 depending on cage size and mesh. Every quote is written and firm before work begins.

Usually, yes. Older Tequesta enclosures were often built with heavier aluminum than modern budget cages. If the structure is sound, a restoration — fasteners, repairs, refinish, rescreen — delivers a near-new cage for a fraction of replacement cost.

Typical Gardens cages run $1,500–$4,500 for a full rescreen depending on size and mesh choice. Golf-ball panel repairs are usually a modest single-panel charge — and worth doing fast before weather widens the hole.

Single lanai panels typically start around $60–$90 installed; whole-lanai rescreens and pool cages are quoted flat in writing. Multi-panel visits drop the per-panel price.

Yes — re-meshing and frame rebuilds on mid-century windows in Flamingo Park, Northwood, and El Cid are regular work for us. It is done on site, and whole-house packages price far better than screen-by-screen.

When several neighbors book together in communities like Andros Isle or RiverWalk, shared mobilization genuinely lowers cost — ask about grouped scheduling when you call.

Yes — bronze frame stock, matching spline, and mesh appropriate to the original work. Repairs on custom enclosures should disappear, and that is the standard we quote to.

Patio panels typically start around $60–$90, window re-meshing around $25–$45 per screen on site. Everything is quoted in writing first, and grouped repairs price better than single visits.

Most Boynton cages run $1,500–$4,500 for a complete rescreen depending on size, height, and mesh. If only a few panels are gone, we will quote the partial honestly — full rescreens are only recommended when the mesh age justifies it.

Please do. Shared mobilization in communities like Aberdeen or Canyon Lakes genuinely reduces per-home cost, and one scheduled week covers everyone.

Panels start around $60–$90; complete cage rescreens usually land between $1,500 and $4,500. East-of-Intracoastal homes should budget for stainless fastener replacement too — it is the fix that makes the rescreen last.

Two-story enclosures typically run $3,000–$6,500+ for a full rescreen depending on footprint and roof design. It is a firm written number after we walk the cage — never a per-panel surprise afterward.

Full rescreens in Stuart typically run $1,500–$4,500 depending on cage size and mesh; riverfront homes should pair it with stainless fastener replacement, quoted flat after a screw-count audit.

Same price book, same materials, same warranty. The 772-222-5122 line just routes you straight to the crews that work Stuart and Hobe Sound daily.

Single panels typically start around $60–$90; full rescreens run $1,500–$4,500 by cage size. Jupiter Island and waterfront work is quoted after a walk-through, with marine-grade hardware specified as standard.

Call your local line or send the quick estimate form. We look at the job (photos often suffice for small repairs), deliver a written quote — usually within 24 hours — and schedule once you approve it.

For exterior enclosure work, usually not — we just need access to the cage or patio. We confirm arrangements when scheduling, and you always get a final walk-through.

Most single-story cages are finished in one day. Large or two-story enclosures usually take two. We confirm the schedule in your written estimate so there are no surprises.

Most estimates happen within 24 hours and most repairs within a few days. Storm-season demand can stretch that, which is why calling at the first tear beats calling after the tenth.

Yes. Worn rollers and bent tracks cause most slider problems and both are repairable. If the slider frame is beyond saving, we install new sliding screen doors sized to your track.

That is a closer adjustment or replacement — a quick fix we can usually handle the same visit, along with a latch alignment so it catches every time.

Most wind damage — racked frames, a few bent members, blown panels — is very repairable. Replacement only makes sense when primary structural members are failed across the cage. We give you a straight assessment either way.

At your house — the truck is the workshop. Only fully fabricated new frames are built off site, and those are usually delivered within a few days.

Almost always — white and bronze frame stock in standard profiles covers the vast majority of Florida windows, and corner hardware is matched to your originals.

The skeleton decides. If the primary structure is sound (most are, even ugly ones), restoration delivers a near-new cage for a fraction of replacement. If primary members are failed throughout, we will tell you replacement is the honest answer — restoring a doomed frame helps nobody.

Most run two to four working days depending on cage size and how much structural repair is in scope. You will have the schedule in writing before we start.

Our Jupiter/Tequesta crews are in the area weekly. Most estimates happen within 24 hours and most repairs within days, outside of post-storm surges.

Routinely. We can schedule through your property manager, provide insurance documentation in advance, and work around household schedules.

Yes — custom fabrication is normal work for us. We measure each opening and build frames to fit, matched to your existing color and hardware. Historic cottages are why we carry frame stock on the truck.

Call 772-222-5122 and we prioritize open-roof damage, since one torn roof panel becomes several in the next storm. Most such repairs in Hobe Sound happen within days.

Workmanship on everything we install: panels that loosen, spline that lets go, hardware we mounted that fails. It is printed on your estimate and invoice — not a verbal promise.

Yes — the warranty follows the enclosure, not the owner, which makes recent Coastal work a nice line item in a home sale.

Yes — our written 5-year craftsman warranty covers workmanship on every panel we screen. If spline lets go or a panel we installed loosens, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Yes — workmanship across the entire scope: fasteners, repairs, refinish, and every rescreened panel.

Phifer screen mesh (the real thing, not lookalike imports), marine-grade stainless steel fasteners, and UV-stable spline. Cheaper materials are the main reason screen repairs fail early — we simply do not install them.

If the mesh is under about 7 years old and only a panel or two failed, partial rescreening makes sense. If panels are failing across the cage, the rest of the mesh is the same age and full rescreening is cheaper than paying trip charges panel by panel. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in.

Phifer 18/14 no-see-um mesh is our standard, with 20/20 super screen, pet-resistant, and solar shade mesh available on request. We do not install bargain-bin mesh under any label.

Absolutely — single-panel repairs are one of our most common calls. No job is too small, and we will match the new mesh to your existing panels.

It is the start of it. Rusted fasteners fail long before the aluminum around them, and they are the cheapest structural fix there is. See our rusted screw replacement service — it is the single best preventive investment a cage owner can make.

Pool chemicals, sprinkler water, and salt air all concentrate at the deck line, and that is where dissimilar-metal contact with anchors happens. It is the first place every South Florida cage goes — and the most important place to catch early.

Most builders used carbon-steel fasteners with a thin coating. Salt air eats the coating, then the steel — while the aluminum around it survives. Replacing them with stainless removes the weak link entirely.

More than most owners believe — a mid-size cage commonly has 1,500 to 3,000 fasteners. That is why this is a specialized service call and not a weekend DIY project.

Yes. Cages fail in wind at the connections, not the middle of a beam, and a rusted fastener has a fraction of its rated strength. Insurance adjusters look at fastener condition after storm claims for exactly that reason.

Barely — plates cover only the bottom 12–24 inches of chosen panels, well below seated head height. Airflow through the rest of the enclosure is unchanged.

Yes, they retrofit onto virtually any aluminum cage regardless of age. If the lower frame has corrosion we will flag it first, since plates should anchor into sound metal.

Bronze and white cover nearly every South Florida enclosure, and we match yours. Other finishes can be ordered when needed.

Standard screen mesh laminated with a translucent vinyl layer. It passes light like frosted glass but blocks all view, wind-blown debris, and most splash — which is why it is also popular on lower panels near lawns.

No — if anything the opposite. Dense mesh blocks solar gain, and Florida Glass panels are usually placed on sightline walls rather than overhead, so ventilation stays intact.

Yes, and almost everyone does. Privacy material goes only where sightlines demand it; the rest of the cage keeps standard mesh. The frame color ties it together visually.

Fiberglass is standard: it does not dent or crease and it is kinder in coastal air. Aluminum mesh is available where extra rigidity matters. Near the water we usually recommend fiberglass, and we will advise per window.

Salt-laden air degrades both mesh and coated-steel fasteners well before their inland lifespan. Homes east of US-1 should have fasteners inspected around year five — it is a far cheaper visit than a structural repair.

Yes — window screen re-meshing and rebuilds are done on site at your home, and whole-house packages are popular in the Country Club area where original screens are all the same age.

Yes — dense privacy mesh or Florida Glass on the fairway-facing wall is one of our most-requested Gardens jobs. It blocks the view from the cart path without changing the cage structure, which keeps HOAs happy.

Double-sided salt exposure. Airborne chloride attacks coated-steel screws from both the ocean and the Intracoastal, so factory fasteners corrode in a fraction of their inland life. We replace them with marine-grade stainless as standard practice here.

All the time. Older porch conversions often mix framing systems, and we bring the spline sizes and mesh options to rescreen them properly instead of forcing a modern one-size approach.

Yes — Florida Glass or dense privacy mesh on the property-line panels is the standard fix for close neighbors in Tropic Isle and Seagate, with no structural changes to the cage.

Just the panel, and if the mesh is young we may be able to keep it to that one. We match mesh and tension so the fixed panel is indistinguishable from its neighbors.

Yes — both are regular stops. Waterfront work there gets marine-grade stainless hardware as standard, because anything less is a callback waiting to happen.

Eleven cities across Palm Beach and Martin County — Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Stuart, and Hobe Sound — plus surrounding neighborhoods. See the service areas page for your direct local line.

Yes — we work in Jupiter’s gated and golf communities regularly, carry insurance documentation HOAs ask for, and leave job sites spotless because we would like to be let back in.

Regularly. We carry the insurance certificates gated communities require and schedule around club and community access rules.

We provide insurance certificates, license info, and product specs your HOA or management company asks for — usually the same day you request them.

Weekly — including 55+ communities like Kings Point and Rainberry Bay. Crews are scheduled, badged as required, and clean up completely.

Yes — Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield, St Andrews and others. Certificates of insurance and vendor registration handled in advance so the gate is never the delay.

Yes — with the discretion, scheduling flexibility, and insurance documentation island properties and their managers expect. We can coordinate entirely through your property manager if preferred.
