Pool cage rescreening in Port Charlotte, FL
When screens are faded, brittle, and tearing in more places than you can count, a full rescreen makes the whole cage look new again.
When a full rescreen makes sense
- Screens are faded, chalky, or brittle to the touch
- New tears keep appearing
- Many panels are loose or sagging
- You're replacing more than a handful of panels anyway
- You're getting the home ready to sell
How long screens last in Southwest Florida
Intense sun, heat, and humidity break down screen over time. Many pool cage screens in Southwest Florida need replacing roughly every 10 to 15 years, sooner on sun-facing sides or after storms.
Choosing your screen
| Screen type | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Standard 18x14 charcoal | The most common pool cage screen. Good visibility and airflow. |
| No-see-um (20x20) | Tighter weave that keeps out tiny biting insects. Slightly less airflow. |
| Heavy-duty / pet screen | Thicker, tear-resistant mesh, often used on lower panels and doors. |
| Privacy or solar screen | Blocks more sun and views. Useful on west-facing or close-neighbor sides. |
What a rescreen usually includes
- Removing old screen and spline from every panel
- Installing new screen with fresh spline, pulled tight
- Checking screws, fasteners, and doors
- Cleaning up and hauling away old material
Worth adding while you're at it
A full rescreen is a good time to replace rusted screws with stainless fasteners, add new door closers, or upgrade lower panels to heavy-duty pet screen. Some owners also repaint the aluminum frame for a like-new look.
