How Much Does Pool Screen Repair Cost in Florida?
One of the first questions homeowners ask us is: what's this going to cost? It's a fair question, and the honest answer is that pool screen repair pricing in Florida varies quite a bit depending on what you actually need.
Here's a straightforward breakdown of what you can expect to pay — and what factors push the price in either direction.
The Three Tiers of Pool Screen Work
Pool screen work generally falls into one of three categories, each with a different price range.
1. Panel Repair (Spot Fixes)
If you have one or a few damaged panels — a tear from a branch, a hole from a wayward ball, or a section that came loose after a storm — a targeted panel repair is the most affordable option.
Typical range: $75–$300
The price depends on how many panels need replacing and the size of each panel. A single small panel on a standard enclosure is a quick job. Multiple large panels start to add up.
This is the right call when the rest of your enclosure is in good shape and the damage is isolated.
2. Full Rescreening
If your mesh is old, brittle, faded, or you're patching the same cage every season, a full rescreening replaces all the screen material while keeping the existing aluminum frame in place.
Typical range: $800–$2,500+
The biggest driver here is the size of your enclosure. A small pool cage with a modest footprint costs significantly less than a large lanai-style enclosure that wraps around an outdoor living area. Screen mesh type also matters — standard fiberglass mesh is the most affordable; heavier-duty or pet-resistant mesh costs more.
3. New Enclosure Construction
If you don't have an enclosure yet, or your existing frame is too damaged to save, a full new enclosure is a larger investment.
Typical range: $4,000–$15,000+
Size, height, design complexity, and permit requirements all factor in. A basic rectangular pool cage is on the lower end. A custom lanai enclosure with a high roofline and multiple access doors is on the higher end.
What Drives the Price Up
A few things consistently push pool screen repair costs higher:
Storm damage. When a hurricane or severe storm bends frame members or collapses sections of the cage, the repair involves more than just new screen. Frame work takes more time and materials.
Enclosure size. Larger cages simply require more screen material and more labor. A 1,000 sq ft enclosure costs more to rescreen than a 400 sq ft one.
Screen mesh type. Standard fiberglass is the baseline. No-see-um mesh (tighter weave to block tiny insects) and pet-resistant mesh (heavier gauge) both cost more per square foot.
Accessibility. High rooflines or enclosures with limited access points take longer to work on, which affects labor cost.
Frame condition. If the aluminum frame has significant corrosion, bent members, or loose connections, those need to be addressed before new screen goes in. That adds to the total.
What Keeps the Price Down
Catching it early. A small tear repaired now is far cheaper than a large section of damaged mesh left to worsen through storm season.
Good frame condition. If your frame is solid, a rescreening is straightforward. The frame is the expensive part to replace.
Standard mesh. If you don't have pets and aren't in a heavy no-see-um area, standard fiberglass mesh does the job well at the lowest cost.
Why You Should Get an On-Site Estimate
Online price ranges are useful for budgeting, but the only way to know what your specific job will cost is to have a technician look at it in person. A good screen company will inspect the frame, assess the mesh condition, measure the enclosure, and give you a clear, itemized estimate — at no charge.
Be cautious of any company that quotes a firm price without seeing the job. What looks like a simple rescreening can turn into a frame repair once someone gets eyes on it, and you want to know that upfront.
The Bottom Line
For most Florida homeowners, pool screen repair is one of the more affordable home maintenance expenses — especially when you catch problems early. A few torn panels is a quick fix. A full rescreening restores your enclosure to like-new condition and typically comes with a warranty on labor and materials.
