What is the typical lifespan of a screen enclosure?
The average screen enclosure in Florida lasts 8 to 12 years, depending on the quality of materials, exposure to weather, and proper maintenance. Over time, UV rays, wind, and humidity can cause the screen mesh to weaken, sag, or tear. If your pool cage or lanai screen enclosure is over a decade old, it may be time to consider rescreening. At Brad Stone Rescreening, we use high-quality screen materials built for long-term durability in Florida’s harsh climate.
How do I know when it’s time to rescreen my lanai?
There are a few signs that it’s time to rescreen your lanai or patio enclosure:
-
Visible tears or holes in the mesh
-
Loose or sagging screens
-
Discoloration or brittleness due to UV damage
-
Increased bugs or debris entering your space
If your screen feels brittle or has lost tension, it’s likely past its prime. Regular inspections can help catch these issues early. Brad Stone Rescreening offers free estimates and expert advice to determine whether you need a full rescreen or simple repairs.
What types of screen materials are available?
We offer a variety of screen mesh options to fit your specific needs and budget:
-
Standard fiberglass screen – Cost-effective and ideal for general use
-
Pet-resistant screen – Thicker and stronger to withstand claws and scratching
-
Privacy screen – Tighter weave for added shade and privacy
-
No-see-um screen – Ultra-fine mesh that keeps out tiny bugs
-
Polyester screen – Extremely durable and long-lasting in coastal environments
Our team will help you choose the right screen material based on your lifestyle, enclosure location, and goals.
How much does it cost to rescreen a pool cage or lanai in Sarasota?
The cost to rescreen a pool cage or lanai varies based on the size of the enclosure, the type of screen material used, and the condition of the existing frame. On average, homeowners in Sarasota can expect to pay between $800 and $3,000 for a complete rescreen. We offer free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees.
Can I replace just one panel of screen, or do I need to rescreen the entire enclosure?
Yes, you can replace individual screen panels if the damage is limited to a small area. This is a cost-effective option for minor tears or punctures. However, if the screens are aging, brittle, or there are multiple problem areas, a full rescreenmay be more economical in the long run. Our experts can assess and recommend the best solution.
Do you remove and dispose of old screens during rescreening?
Absolutely. Our rescreening service includes complete removal and disposal of your old screen mesh. We also inspect the frame and fasteners to ensure your new screens are installed securely and professionally. You won’t have to worry about cleanup—we handle everything from start to finish.
How long does the rescreening process take?
Most rescreening jobs are completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the size and complexity of the enclosure. Smaller lanais can often be done in a single afternoon, while larger pool cages may take a bit longer. We always strive to minimize disruption and deliver efficient, high-quality service.
