Aluminum Repair Services For Your Pool Cage

At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we specialize in aluminum repair services that restore and protect the structural integrity of your pool screen enclosure because it’s not just about the screens, it’s about the frame that holds it all together. While many homeowners searching for pool screen repair are thinking of torn mesh or sagging panels, these issues often stem from damage to the aluminum frame. We address the problems behind the problems making sure your pool enclosure is safe, secure, and built to last.

What We Do: Non-Structural Aluminum Repairs for Pool Enclosures

Our experienced technicians provide targeted aluminum repairs designed to extend the life of your enclosure. These services improve safety, appearance, and function without requiring a full rebuild.

Panel Replacements

We replace damaged or deteriorated aluminum panels in areas such as:

- Bottom wall panels
- Upper wall panels
- Slanted or angled panels
‍
Each panel is measured and installed to fit precisely with your existing enclosure.

Mansard Brace Replacement

For enclosures with mansard-style roofs, we replace worn or weakened braces to maintain stability. This is often done alongside screen replacements to reinforce the structure.

Tapcon Replacement

Tapcons are the screws that anchor your enclosure to your concrete slab. We replace rusted or loose Tapcons to strengthen the foundation and prevent movement or wobbling.

Door Kit Installation

We install new door kits to address doors that no longer close properly or look worn down. These kits include the frame, hardware, and closures for a smooth, functional upgrade.

Kickplates and Pet Door Additions

We install aluminum kickplates to protect the lower portion of your enclosure from damage. We also add dog doors to make your space more convenient for pet owners.

Screen Wrap Modifications

When your screen is attached directly to the house (rather than a freestanding enclosure), we can:

- Replace or install new doors
- Swap out damaged wall panels
- Make small, non-structural frame repairs

Since screen wraps are supported by the home itself, they often don’t require major permitting or engineering updates.

What We Don’t Do: Structural Repairs or Major Modifications

To stay compliant with Florida building codes and ensure safety, we do not perform repairs to structural elements of enclosures. This includes:

- Chair rails
- Upright vertical beams
- Structural or super gutters

These components are integral to the original engineering of your enclosure. If they are compromised, a full tear-out and rebuild is typically the safest and most code-compliant solution.

We also do not offer:
- Roof system changes (e.g., switching from screen roof to an insulated composite roof or vice versa)
- Structural reconfigurations or enclosure redesigns

These types of projects require updated engineering, permits, and inspections and are best handled as new builds.

Pool Screen Repair vs. Frame Repair: What’s the Difference?

When searching for pool screen repair, it’s important to know whether the problem is with the screen mesh or the aluminum frame behind it.

We offer both panel replacements and full rescreens when needed, but our first step is always a proper inspection for more complicated pool screen repairs. Our team will assess whether your enclosure needs:

- A simple panel replacement (this is a more straight-forward process, you can learn more here)
- A complete rescreen
- Or, if the aluminum frame is damaged and causing panels to loosen, shift, or detach may require a tear-out and rebuild.
‍
We can address many of the common issues homeowners associate with pool screen repair,  such as:

- Replacing damaged wall panels
- Reinforcing door frames
- Fixing bracing components that support the screen structure

Our goal is to restore your enclosure’s appearance and function while helping you understand the most effective and long-lasting solution.

We use only top-quality aluminum and construction materials to ensure the longevity and durability of your pool enclosure. Our commitment to quality extends to every aspect of the project, from framing to finishing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can you repair an enclosure built by another company?

We do not perform repairs on enclosures built by other companies. Each structure has its own design and installation method, and it’s best for the original builder to address any issues. However, if you're interested in a tear-out and rebuild, we’d be happy to provide a quote for a brand-new enclosure built to our standards.

Do you offer a warranty on aluminum repairs?

Yes, we stand behind our workmanship. We offer a limited-time warranty on both workmanship and applicable structural components. If you experience an issue related to our repair within the warranty period, just give us a call. We’ll walk you through the next steps. Warranty terms can vary depending on the type of repair, and we’ll go over all the details with you during your consultation.

What’s the process for aluminum repair services?

We start with an inspection to evaluate the condition of your enclosure depending on the extend of damage. From there, we’ll provide a detailed quote and timeline based on the scope of work whether it's reinforcing bracing, or addressing door and fastener issues, etc.
