How much does it cost to rescreen a pool cage in Florida?
In Florida, a complete pool cage screen repair can cost from $2,400, for regular pool cages, to $4,800, if it is a large pool enclosure. However, costs are estimated on a footage (area of coverage) basis.
A typical regular-size pool cage in Florida is about 1,500 square feet, a medium-size pool enclosure spans from 1,600 and 3,600 square feet, while a large pool cage can be up to 6,000 square feet and even more.
Additionally, you must consider the height of the structure. A typical pool cage can have a height of up to 21 feet, while most of them have a height from 10 feet to 16 feet.
On the other hand, a single-screen panel replacement can cost from $80 to $200, depending on the screen type. Thus, you must ask your service provider how much is the cost of a pool cage rescreening per square foot.

Which factors determine the cost of a pool cage rescreening?
The costs of rescreening a pool cage depend on the extension of the pool cage area that needs to be replaced, the materials used to repair and labor.
Pool cage screens can suffer several types of damage including cracking and UV filter wear. In addition, screens have a certain lifetime, so it’s recommended to make a total screen replacement every 5-10 years.
Regular 18x14 fiberglass panels can cost from $50 to $150 by panel. Regular polyester panels can cost from $100 to $250, depending on the panel size. A panoramic view rescreening can cost from $1,000 to $1,650, depending on the panoramic panel size.
A typical problem with panoramic view panels is their replacement cost. When a panel of this type is damaged, even if it is a tiny hole or scratch, it must be replaced. As materials prices are measured by size, the cost of a panoramic view rescreening is bigger than a regular panel rescreening cost.
Some pool cages have a “privacy screen”, made with sun vinyl laminated screens or panels, which are usually installed in specific places, in order to protect your pool enclosure from external water or debris, and add more privacy to your property.
To install typical privacy screens around the bottom of the pool cage can cost from $850 to $1,350, depending on the pool cage perimeter size. Average pool enclosures have perimeters up to 100 feet, but some pool cage perimeters can exceed the 100 feet size, which increases the cost of the privacy screen.
On the other hand, standard pool cage metallic structures have frameworks separated 30 inches from each other. If the metallic structure has wider frameworks, it will require bigger screens, which are more expensive.
Pool cage sheet prices vary significantly depending on the panel sizes and screen type. Labor and warranty are also factors that make repairing prices very different between a company and other, or even when homeowners make the repairs on their own.
This last option is the cheapest way to make the screen repair but also it is the most risky. Sometimes homeowners don’t know which are the appropriate materials to repair the screens, nor the safe procedures to rescreen a pool enclosure.
Some mistakes, which can lead to higher costs, are often committed by non-professional installers or repairers. For instance, metal structures can have different types of grooves to house the splines. The splines are the rubber bands that fix the screens to the metal structure.
If you don’t know which is the appropriate spline, which matches the best with the poll cage metal framework groove, you can go to the hardware store and buy the wrong splines, which will make you lose money and time.
On the other hand, professional services can estimate better the necessary materials, do the job in less time and offer more added value to pool cage repairing. Pool Paint Screen LLC offers a warranty up to 5 years for fiberglass screens, and up to 10 years for polyester screens.
What screen to use for a pool cage?
There are several types of screens for a pool cage. Homeowners can choose between different models and materials depending on their needs and preferences.
Some materials used for a pool cage screen are polyester, fiberglass, resins, and polycarbonate. Each material has a specific use. Some of them help to decrease the insect invaders and some of them help to refresh the air of the pool environment.
Some screens are indicated to filter UV rays and others can add more privacy to your pool area. Pool cage shape and design also influence the choice of the appropriate screen.
Pool cage installation professionals can guide you to select the best screen to your pool enclosure. Pool Paint Screen LLC works with fiberglass and polyester screens.
Are pool screen enclosures worth it?
Yes, pool screen enclosures are worth it because they add many benefits to your property!
Pool cage enclosures help to protect the pool area and patio from insects and other wild (and potentially hazardous) animals, as well as from extreme weather, like storms and dry seasons. Also, they protect people, pets, and furniture from UV rays and bring more privacy to this home space.
Pool cages aggregate another comfortable environment to the houses where family members and friends can enjoy without even noticing the environmental factors. Lastly, pool enclosures are a type of inversion that increases the value of your property.
That’s the reason homeowners should consider installing a pool cage in their properties or repairing the old ones!!!...
How to rescreen a pool cage?
Rescreening a pool cage is an important step in pool cage maintenance. First of all, professionals or homeowners must assess the pool enclosure and identify the panels to be replaced.
Professionals plan the appropriate rescreening strategy according to the pool enclosure and the critical points that should be attended. In this phase, materials, installation, and security equipment must be available.
Repairers need stairs, scaffolds, hooks, blades, and other instruments, as well as all the necessary safety equipment (helmets, security glasses and boots, gloves, harnesses, etc.)
It’s very important to clear the area from children and pets. Then, professionals remove the damaged screens. Screen panels must be removed very carefully to avoid accidents and falls, which can harm the repairer or damage other adjacent screens.
Many of them are fixed with flat splines or round splines. Some of them are fixed with special glues, for instance, in such particular cases where the grooves are damaged and cannot hold the screens properly. It’s important to know what the installation mechanism of the panel is to protect the structure from bad manipulation.
Once the damaged panels have been removed, professionals proceed to clean slots of bars. Then they begin to install the new panels. It’s important to make sure that each panel is well-fixed to avoid detaches.
Rescreening a pool cage requires time, good implements, and experience. That’s the reason it’s recommended to call a reliable pool cage repair company. Only professionals can ensure that rescreen installation is optimal and safe.
