A pool enclosure protects your pool area from insects, debris, and harsh Florida weather—while also enhancing safety and comfort. Over time, screens can tear, framing can weaken, and wear becomes unavoidable. When that happens, homeowners often ask:
Should I repair my pool enclosure, or is it time to rescreen it?
Understanding the difference between pool enclosure repair and pool rescreening will help you make the best decision for your home, budget, and long-term needs.
Pool enclosure repair focuses on fixing specific problem areas while keeping most of the existing structure intact.
The first step is a professional inspection to identify issues such as:
Our pool enclosure repair services address these issues before they worsen.
Repairs are typically more affordable when damage is limited to specific areas. Fixing small problems early can extend the life of your enclosure without the cost of full replacement.
Repairing instead of replacing reduces material waste and reuses existing components—making it a more environmentally responsible choice.
If you’re happy with the current look of your enclosure, repairs preserve the original design and style.
Pool rescreening involves replacing all of the screen panels while keeping the existing aluminum frame (if structurally sound).
Rescreening is ideal when:
Our pool rescreening services restore full protection and appearance.
Rescreening allows you to upgrade to modern screen materials, including:
These options provide better longevity and comfort.
Rescreening gives you the opportunity to refresh the look of your pool enclosure with new screen color and improved visibility.
New screens improve insect control and help keep wildlife out—especially important in Florida’s climate.
Repairs usually cost less upfront, while rescreening offers a longer-term solution that may save money over time.
If you want improved visibility, airflow, or a refreshed look, rescreening provides more flexibility.
Older screens may continue to fail even after repairs—making rescreening a smarter long-term investment.
