Florida-Specific Screen Repair Considerations
What makes screen repair different in Florida — salt air, humidity, hurricane code, and the permit + licensing quirks that catch out-of-state transplants off guard.
Pool cage re-screen every 8-12 years
Florida UV + humidity degrades standard fiberglass screen fabric in under a decade. No-see-um mesh lasts even less. Re-screening a pool cage runs $1.50-$3.00/sqft depending on fabric spec.
Hurricane-rated screens exist
StormSmart, Phantom, and a few others make wind-rated screens that double as storm protection. Premium ($4-$8/sqft) but can serve as code-legal opening protection on lanais in some counties — check your AHJ.
Aluminum frame corrosion is the real killer
The screen fabric is replaceable; the aluminum frame corroding from the coast or from pool-chemistry off-gassing is the expensive problem. Coastal homes should spec mill-finish or powder-coated aluminum, not painted steel.
Permit often required for a full cage rebuild
A full re-screen is usually permit-free, but a cage rebuild or structural post replacement almost always requires a county permit. Confirm before the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rescreen a pool cage in Florida?▾
Per-panel pricing: $35–$65 for standard fiberglass, $55–$95 for no-see-um mesh, $75–$135 for super-screen (pet/hurricane resistant). Full pool-cage rescreens (most cages have 18–35 panels): $1,200–$3,500 typical. Add $300–$1,500 if rusted screws, bent frames, or door rebuilds are needed.
What screen mesh should I use in Florida?▾
Fiberglass 18×14 standard mesh: cheapest, works for most yards. No-see-um mesh (20×20): blocks tiny gnats common in Tampa Bay/Gulf Coast/Keys. Super-screen polyester (17×20): pet-resistant, lasts 12–18 years vs 5–8 for fiberglass. Hurricane-rated screens hold up to 150 mph winds — worth the upgrade in coastal counties.
How long does pool-cage screen last in Florida?▾
Standard fiberglass: 5–8 years before UV breaks down the polyester coating. Super-screen polyester: 12–18 years. Aluminum frames: 25–40+ years before saltwater corrosion takes hold. Coastal homes within 1 mi of saltwater see screens fail 30–40% faster than inland homes.
Will insurance cover a hurricane-damaged pool cage?▾
Most Florida policies cover cage damage from named storms, but coverage varies widely. Standard policies pay for screens and frame repairs; some exclude full cage replacement. Document everything pre-storm with photos and itemized values. Wind/hurricane deductibles (2-10% of dwelling value) typically apply.
Do screen-repair companies need a license in Florida?▾
Screen repair under $2,500/job typically doesn't require a state license. Full cage rebuilds requiring permits need a Specialty Aluminum Contractor (SCC) license through the DBPR. Always verify liability insurance and workers' comp before letting anyone climb on your cage.
