Florida screen enclosure pricing varies depending on the type of project. Here is a clear, easy-to-understand breakdown of typical costs—without using a table, as requested.
Typical Cost: $2,000–$6,000
A basic patio or lanai enclosure is the most budget-friendly option and perfect for keeping out bugs while making your outdoor space more livable. To learn more about this option, visit our page on Patio Screen Enclosures.
Most homeowners pair these with standard mesh such as 18×14 Screen.
Typical Cost: $6,000–$12,000
These enclosures work well for larger patios or when you want upgraded materials. Many Florida homeowners upgrade to 20×20 Screen to block no-see-ums or choose Florida Glass for privacy and debris protection.
Typical Cost: $10,000–$35,000
Pool enclosures are extremely popular in Florida because they protect your pool from debris, reduce maintenance, and add year-round outdoor comfort.
