Screen Replacement & Repair in Estero, FL
Torn lanai screens, busted sliding doors, and corroded pool cage frames are not cosmetic problems in Southwest Florida — they let in mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and humidity. Our licensed team handles full rescreens, panel repairs, sliding screen door replacements, and hurricane damage restoration across Estero, Naples, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers.
If you own a home in Southwest Florida, you own screens. Lanai enclosures, pool cages, sliding screen doors, window screens — they are on every house from Naples to Fort Myers. They are also the single most common repair request we get. Salt air from Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico corrodes aluminum frames. Twelve months of Florida sun degrades mesh until it turns brittle and tears at the slightest touch. And in communities like Stoneybrook, Grandezza, Shadow Wood, and the Vines — Estero alone has 11 golf courses within 20 square miles — stray golf balls punch through screen panels on a weekly basis.
Lanai & Pool Cage Rescreens
Full lanai and pool cage rescreens are our largest screen projects. We remove all existing mesh, inspect every aluminum frame member for corrosion or bending, replace damaged spline channels and rubber seals, and install new screen material panel by panel. A typical pool cage rescreen takes one to three days depending on the size of the enclosure and the condition of the frame. We work with standard 18x14 fiberglass mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh for homes near the water, and premium options like Phifer UltraVue (thinner thread for better visibility), Phifer Super Screen (tear-resistant, UV-resistant), and Florida Glass Screen for homeowners who want a clear, unobstructed view. If you only need a few panels replaced rather than a full rescreen, we do that too — and we will tell you honestly which approach makes more sense for your situation.
Sliding Screen Door Repair & Replacement
Sliding screen doors take a beating. Rollers wear out or fill with grit from sandy feet. Tracks get bent or clogged with debris. Mesh tears from kids, pets, and everyday use. We replace rollers, repair or replace tracks, re-mesh existing frames, and install complete new sliding screen door assemblies when the old one is beyond repair. If your sliding glass door also has track issues, check out our general home repair services — we handle both in the same visit.
Window Screen Replacement
Window screens get overlooked until you open a window and realize the mesh has a hole the size of your fist. We re-screen existing window frames, replace broken corner tabs and tension springs, and install new window screen frames where the originals are too corroded or bent to reuse. For older homes in Fort Myers and Naples, we can match non-standard frame sizes that big box stores do not carry in stock.
Screen Enclosure Frame Repair
Salt air does a number on aluminum screen enclosure frames, especially within a few miles of the Gulf. We see pitting, white oxidation, and structural weakening on frames as young as 10–12 years old in waterfront communities. We replace individual aluminum frame members — verticals, horizontals, cross braces — without tearing down the entire enclosure. Bent or bowed sections from storm damage or fallen branches get straightened or replaced. If your screen enclosure was damaged during Hurricane Ian in 2022, we handle those repairs and can work with your insurance documentation. For other storm-related work, see our hurricane shutter installation page.
Pet-Resistant Screen & Spline Replacement
If you have dogs or cats that scratch at screens, standard fiberglass mesh will not hold up. We install pet-resistant screen (heavier gauge, vinyl-coated polyester) on lower panels, around pet doors, and on sliding screen doors where pets push through. It costs more than standard mesh but saves you from replacing the same panel every few months. We also handle spline replacement throughout your enclosure — old, hardened spline is one of the top reasons screen panels sag, pull loose, or blow out in storms. If screen damage showed up on a recent home inspection report, we can handle the full list in one trip. Call us at (239) 880-2423 for a free estimate.

How Our Screen Replacement Process Works
We inspect every panel, track, frame section, and spline channel on-site. Screens get checked for tears, sags, UV degradation, and mesh type. Aluminum frames get evaluated for corrosion, bowing, and structural integrity. You get a written estimate the same day covering exactly what needs replacement versus what can be repaired.
We source the right screen material for your situation — standard 18x14 insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh for waterfront properties, Phifer UltraVue for better visibility, or pet-resistant screen for lower panels and pet door areas. All spline, rubber seals, and hardware come with us to the job.
Our team completes the screen installation, tensions the mesh properly so it does not sag or bow, replaces all spline, and cleans up fully. Sliding doors are tested on the track with rollers adjusted for smooth operation. We walk you through the finished work before we leave.
Screen damage on your inspection report? That is one of the most common findings.
Torn screens, corroded enclosure frames, and non-functional sliding screen doors show up on almost every home inspection in Southwest Florida. Our team handles these screen items alongside everything else on the report — drywall, plumbing, electrical, and more — often in a single visit. Send us your report and we'll quote the whole thing.
“Had four screen panels replaced on our lanai after a golf ball went through them. Team showed up on time, matched the existing screen, and left everything clean. Very happy with the work.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Replacement
How much does a full lanai or pool cage rescreen cost in Southwest Florida?
A full pool cage rescreen in SW Florida typically runs $3,000–$8,000+ depending on the size of the enclosure, number of panels, height, and screen material selected. Standard 18x14 fiberglass mesh is the most affordable option. No-see-um (20x20) mesh costs more per square foot but keeps out sand flies and tiny insects common near Estero Bay. Premium materials like Phifer Super Screen or Florida Glass Screen add durability but increase cost. We provide free on-site estimates with no surprises — the price we quote is the price you pay.
Should I do a full rescreen or just replace individual panels?
It depends on the overall condition of the screening and frame. If you have a few torn panels from a golf ball or a branch, individual panel replacement makes sense and saves money. But if the existing mesh is faded, brittle, or pulling away from the spline channels across most of the enclosure, a full rescreen is more cost-effective long-term. Patching old, UV-degraded screen next to brand new panels also creates a visible mismatch. We will give you an honest recommendation on-site — we are not going to push a full rescreen if three panels will solve the problem.
What is the difference between no-see-um mesh and standard insect screen?
Standard insect screen is 18x14 mesh (18 threads per inch horizontally, 14 vertically). It blocks mosquitoes, flies, and larger insects. No-see-um mesh is 20x20 — a tighter weave that also blocks sand flies, gnats, and the tiny biting midges called no-see-ums that are common along the Gulf Coast and near mangrove areas. The trade-off is that 20x20 mesh reduces airflow slightly and can make the enclosure feel a bit darker. For homes near Estero Bay, Lovers Key, or other waterfront areas, most homeowners prefer no-see-um mesh. Further inland, standard mesh works fine.
How long do screens last in Southwest Florida?
Standard fiberglass screen mesh lasts 7–10 years in SW Florida before UV degradation makes it brittle and prone to tearing. Salt air from the Gulf and Estero Bay accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames, which can shorten the useful life of the overall enclosure. Premium materials like Phifer Super Screen are rated for 10+ years and resist UV and pet damage better. The biggest factors are sun exposure (south-facing panels degrade fastest), proximity to salt water, and whether trees or landscaping rub against panels during wind events.
Do you repair screen enclosures damaged by hurricanes?
Yes. Hurricane screen damage repair is a significant part of our work, especially since Hurricane Ian in 2022 destroyed or damaged thousands of screen enclosures across Lee and Collier Counties. We handle everything from replacing blown-out panels to repairing bent or twisted aluminum frame sections. For structural frame damage, we can replace individual aluminum members without tearing down the entire enclosure. If your enclosure needs more extensive structural work, we will tell you upfront and recommend the right approach. We also handle related storm damage like damaged sliding screen doors and window screens.
