Understanding How Much It Cost to Put a Screen Around a Pool in Florida

For Florida homeowners, a pool screen enclosure is one of the most popular and practical upgrades you can make. It keeps bugs and debris out, reduces maintenance, and allows you to enjoy your pool year-round.

One of the first questions homeowners ask is:

How much does it cost to put a screen around a pool in Florida?

Average Cost to Screen in a Pool in Florida

In Florida, the average cost to install a pool screen enclosure typically ranges from $6,000 to $10,000 for a standard-sized pool using quality materials.

Larger pools, custom designs, premium screen options, or added features can increase the cost to $12,000–$15,000+.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Pool Screen Enclosure?

Several key factors influence the final price of your project.

1. Pool Size & Shape

The size and layout of your pool directly impact:

  • Material quantity
  • Labor time
  • Engineering requirements

Larger or uniquely shaped pools typically cost more to enclose.

2. Screen Material Selection

Different screen options affect both price and performance:

  • Standard fiberglass screens: Affordable and durable
  • No-see-um screens: Added protection from tiny insects
  • Pet-resistant screens: Thicker and more durable

Upgraded screens cost more upfront but often last longer.

3. Enclosure Height & Design

  • Standard enclosures are more budget-friendly
  • Taller or custom-height enclosures require more materials
  • Multiple roof lines or angles increase complexity

Custom designs increase both labor and material costs.

4. Engineering, Permits & Building Codes

Florida requires pool screen enclosures to meet strict wind-load and building code requirements.

Professional projects include:

  • Engineering plans
  • Permit applications
  • Code-compliant installation

These steps are essential and factor into total cost.

5. Doors, Windows & Custom Features

Optional upgrades may include:

  • Screen doors or additional access points
  • Reinforced framing
  • Decorative elements

Each added feature increases the overall project cost.

6. Location Within Florida

Labor costs, permit fees, and material pricing can vary by region. Coastal and high-wind zones may require additional reinforcement.
