The Ultimate Guide to Storm Damage Repair for Your Screen Enclosure

The Ultimate Guide to Storm Damage Repair for Most Screen Enclosures

Florida storms can be unpredictable and powerful. High winds, flying debris, heavy rain, and hail can all cause significant damage to screen enclosures—compromising safety, functionality, and appearance.

If your enclosure has been damaged, acting quickly is essential. At Lafferty Aluminum and Screening, we specialize in professional screen enclosure storm damage repair, helping homeowners restore protection, comfort, and peace of mind as efficiently as possible.

Common Types of Storm Damage to Screen Enclosures

Storm damage isn’t always obvious at first glance. A thorough inspection helps prevent minor issues from becoming costly repairs.

Torn or Damaged Screens

Strong winds and debris can tear or puncture screen panels. Even small holes allow insects, animals, and moisture into your enclosure.

Our screen repair and rescreening services restore protection while maintaining airflow and visibility.

Frame & Structural Damage

Bent aluminum framing, loose fasteners, or broken components weaken the enclosure’s integrity. Structural damage should be addressed immediately to prevent collapse or further failure.

Roof & Support Beam Issues

If your enclosure includes a roof system, inspect it for leaks, dents, or loose panels. Damaged support beams can compromise the entire structure and require professional repair.

What to Do Immediately After Storm Damage

Perform a Visual Inspection

Check screens, framing, roof panels, and fasteners for visible damage. Take photos for documentation if insurance is involved.

Make Temporary Repairs if Needed

Small tears can be temporarily patched using screen repair kits or heavy-duty tape to reduce exposure until permanent repairs are completed.

Remove Loose Debris Safely

Clear fallen branches or debris carefully to avoid additional damage or injury.

Restrict Access if Damage Is Severe

If structural damage is present, avoid using the enclosure until repairs are completed.

Why Professional Storm Damage Repair Matters

Storm damage repair requires more than cosmetic fixes. Professional expertise ensures safety, durability, and compliance with local codes.

Accurate Damage Assessment

Experienced professionals identify hidden damage that homeowners may miss, preventing future failures.

Proper Materials & Installation

Professionals use high-quality materials designed to withstand Florida weather and ensure long-term performance.
