Complete panel-by-panel screen replacement for pool enclosures across Broward County. Fiberglass mesh, aluminum mesh, No-See-Um screen, and solar shade options available.
Pool screen rescreening is the process of removing all existing screen panels from your pool enclosure frame and replacing them with new mesh material. It's the most common major maintenance task for a pool cage, and in Broward County's climate, it typically needs to happen every 8โ15 years depending on screen type, storm exposure, and sun orientation of your enclosure.
The process involves removing the old spline (the rubber cord that holds the mesh in the frame channel), pulling out the degraded screen, cutting new mesh to size, installing it under proper tension, and re-seating new spline in every panel groove. Done correctly, the result is a taut, uniform screen surface that provides full insect, debris, and UV protection. Done poorly โ with insufficient tension or wrong-gauge spline โ the screen will sag or pop out within a season.
If more than 30โ40% of your panels are torn, sagging, or have visible UV degradation (hold a panel up to light โ if it's bright gray rather than dark charcoal, it's degraded), a full rescreen is almost always more cost-effective than patching. Partial rescreening makes sense after a localized storm event, an impact from one branch or object, or when an enclosure is otherwise in excellent condition.
Standard 18ร14 Fiberglass Mesh โ The most common screen used in South Florida. 18 strands per inch horizontally, 14 vertically. Excellent balance of airflow, visibility, and insect control. The default choice for most rescreens.
20ร20 Phifer Super Screen โ Tighter weave, more durable, slightly higher cost. Better insect protection and improved resistance to pet scratching. Good for homes near standing water or in mosquito-heavy areas like western Davie or Cooper City.
No-See-Um Screen โ The tightest residential screen available, designed to block tiny biting insects. Common on wooded Davie and Southwest Ranches properties.
Solar Screen / Privacy Screen โ Blocks a percentage of UV and reduces heat inside the cage. Popular on west-facing enclosures in Weston and Pembroke Pines where afternoon sun is intense.
Aluminum Wire Screen โ More expensive than fiberglass but highly durable and pet-resistant. Preferred for high-traffic bottom border panels.
When our crew arrives, we start by inspecting the full frame to identify any spline channels that are cracked or corroded (these get cleaned or replaced before the new screen goes in). We then work section by section, removing old screen and spline, stretching new mesh across each panel, and pressing in new spline to lock it in place. We finish each section before moving to the next, which keeps the job site organized and prevents loose mesh from being damaged before it's secured.
Most full rescreens on standard Broward suburban enclosures (roughly 400โ700 sq ft) take 4โ6 hours. Large Weston-style enclosures over 1,000 sq ft may require a full day with a two-person crew.
Rescreening is often just the start โ here's what else we handle while on your property.
Bent uprights, broken spline channels, corroded connectors โ repaired or replaced before new screen goes in.
Hinge, latch, and door screen replacement. Usually added to a rescreen job at minimal extra cost.
Clean and treat the frame while the panels are out for best oxidation removal results.
