Kissimmee Screen Enclosures: Trusted Installation, Repair & Rescreening Company

Why Kissimmee Chooses Us

Kissimmee Screen Enclosures builds and repairs pool cages, lanais, patio enclosures, screen rooms, and sunrooms throughout Kissimmee and Osceola County. Local community members have owned and run the business since 2007, and our crew has nearly 20 years of experience completing over 1,600 screen enclosure, rescreening, and repair jobs in Central Florida. Kissimmee's climate can take a toll on outdoor structures. The area experiences year-round UV exposure, high humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, wind, and moisture near Lake Tohopekaliga, which can cause screens, fasteners, and aluminum framing to deteriorate over time. Our construction accounts for these conditions by using rust-resistant aluminum, durable screening materials, reinforced anchoring, and corrosion-resistant hardware. Whether the job involves one torn panel or a full rescreening of a pool cage or custom patio enclosure, we handle measurements, obtain the necessary permits, select materials, and complete the installation from start to finish.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make outdoor living more comfortable and easier to maintain for Kissimmee homeowners. We believe a screen enclosure should do more than keep bugs out—it should create a space where you can enjoy the pool, patio, or backyard without constantly worrying about insects, debris, or damaged screens. We keep the process straightforward, recommend materials that fit the property and budget, and build every enclosure with Central Florida weather and everyday use in mind.

Recent project: Rescreening the 1,340 SF pool cage, plus a hardware upgrade.

A homeowner in Kissimmee contacted us because several roof panels had started to tear and the enclosure doors no longer closed properly. We completed a full rescreen of the 1,340-square-foot pool cage, replaced 18 worn screened panels, installed new door hardware, improved the visible fasteners, and reinforced two areas of the enclosure prone to high winds. We completed the work in two working days for $7,480, including materials, labor, debris removal, and cleanup. We received a 5-star rating for our service.

Screen Enclosure Installation

We build and install screen enclosures across Kissimmee and Osceola County, including pool cages, lanais, screen rooms, motorized shades, and pet-resistant panels. For each project, we use aluminum framing, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and screen materials chosen specifically for the heat, humidity, and storm season of Central Florida.

Pool Screen Enclosure Installation

A pool cage keeps leaves, frogs, mosquitoes, and other debris out of the water while meeting Florida pool safety requirements. For your deck, we build mansard or gable pool screen enclosures using 2x2 and 2x3 aluminum uprights, 2x4 to 2x6 beams, and super gutters when needed to redirect roof runoff. Available screens include 18x14 fiberglass mesh for general insect protection and 20x20 no-see-um mesh for smaller insects typically found near retention ponds and wetlands. Each enclosure is designed to meet the wind-load provisions of the Florida Building Code, and Osceola County or the City of Kissimmee handles permit drawings, inspections, and final approval.

Patio & Porch Screen Enclosure Installation

A fast way to increase outdoor living space is to install a screen on an existing concrete patio or covered porch. The screening attaches directly to both the house's roof structure and the slab, and the screen panels slide into removable spline channels, so you can repair individual sections later without moving the frame. These projects may include adding screening below an existing roof, attaching an aluminum patio cover, fitting kickplates for greater durability, and installing self-closing screen doors with standard or heavy-duty hardware. For west-facing patios, we can also use shade-rated screen mesh on some walls to reduce afternoon heat while still allowing airflow and maintaining an open look.

Lanai Screen Enclosure Installation

Of the homes in Kissimmee built over the past 25 years, most came with a lanai that was either not screened or screened with builder-grade materials. In those cases, we rescreen and rebuild the lanai using improved mesh, replacing the spline, and installing new chair rails wherever the original framing has become loose or corroded at the anchor points. When the original lanai had no screening at all, we install the vertical framing, top and bottom rails, and door assembly, attaching it to the existing roof beam and the edge of the slab. For larger openings, we add intermediate uprights to reduce the panel span, decreasing billowing during storms and making future panel replacement simpler and less costly.

Aluminum Screen Enclosure Installation

Aluminum is used as the framing material for screen enclosures in Florida because it does not rot and is more resistant to corrosion than steel in humid, chlorinated conditions. We use extruded aluminum in mill finish, white, bronze, and dark bronze, plus powder-coated options so the color can match the fascia and trim. Frame size varies with span and wind load; for example, shorter patio walls can use 2x2 uprights, but taller pool cage corners and longer beam runs need 2x4, 2x6, or reinforced sections. All fasteners are made of stainless steel or coated to avoid a galvanic reaction with the aluminum. The anchors embedded in the concrete are set to the depth specified in the engineering documents and then checked before the screening is fitted.

Screen Room Installation

A screen room is a more fully developed area than a simple screened patio and is usually built with a solid roof, on either a poured or existing slab, and with structural framing that can support future improvements. We fit both insulated roof panels and aluminum pan roofs. Insulated panels have an R-value, heat up more slowly when the sun is shining directly on them, and can support ceiling fans and lighting fixtures. Some homeowners in Kissimmee start with a screen room and later convert it to a vinyl or glass enclosure. If the frame is built to that specification from the start, you can avoid any necessary rework. We also arrange the slab work, the electrical rough-in for the fans and outlets, and any required permitting for the roof structure as part of the same project.

Custom Screen Enclosure Installation

We create bespoke screen enclosures to suit curved and freeform pools, multi-level patios, second-floor balconies, screened breezeways, and other irregular outdoor areas. Available options include segmented framing for curved pool decks, engineered two-story enclosures, screened walkways between buildings, partial enclosures, and freestanding screened gazebos with aluminum or insulated roofs. We measure each custom screen enclosure in the field and check it against the engineered drawings before manufacturing, so the aluminum framing matches the actual deck, roofline, and site conditions rather than a standard footprint.

Clear View Pool Enclosure Installation

Clear-view screen enclosures, also known as panoramic or picture-window screening, eliminate the need for horizontal chair rails and intermediate uprights to provide wider, unobstructed views. To keep the structure strong, larger aluminum framing is used, along with reinforced corners engineered to handle wind loads while requiring fewer supports. This design is particularly popular for properties with lakefront or conservation views in Kissimmee. Clear-view panels are generally more expensive since they involve extra engineering, heavier framing, and larger screen sections that cost more each time they are replaced. You also need the right screen tension to avoid waviness over wide spans.

Pool Fence Installation

Removable mesh fencing for pools provides a physical barrier for young children and pets and can serve as the main barrier or an extra layer within a screened enclosure. We install four-foot and five-foot mesh fences with UV-stabilised textilene fabric and use aluminum or fiberglass posts with self-closing, self-latching gates, with latches placed high enough to be out of reach for small children. The posts insert into sleeves set flush with the deck, allowing you to remove sections for parties or maintenance and then put them back in place afterward. Florida law requires a residential pool to have at least one approved safety feature; we can review the safety measures your pool currently has and tell you which barrier options comply with your local regulations.

Motorized Patio Screen Installation

You can use motorized retractable screens to close off a lanai for shade or to keep insects out, then roll the screen up when you want an open view. We install track-guided systems with tubular motors, sealed side channels, and an aluminum housing mounted at the top of the opening. Control options include wall switches, handheld remotes, and integration with home automation systems. Wind sensors are available, and it is worth considering them if you have an exposed second-floor balcony. For the screen fabric, you can choose from insect mesh to fabric that blocks 80–95% of the sun's rays, as well as clear vinyl for wind and rain protection. A single unit can cover openings up to about 25 feet wide, depending on the system and the fabric chosen.

Your Screen Enclosure Installation Company in Kissimmee, FL

Our method for installing screen enclosures in Kissimmee complies with local permitting regulations, the Florida Building Code, and Osceola County's wind-load requirements. When carrying out the installation of pool cages, patio enclosures, screened porches, lanais, and custom screen rooms, we use durable aluminum framing, screen mesh, and fastening systems that are designed to cope with the conditions typical of Central Florida, such as heat, humidity, heavy rain, insects, and storm exposure.

Screen Enclosure Repair Services

The most common failures we see in Central Florida enclosures are torn panels, bent uprights, corroded bases, and sagging doors. We repair individual panels or rebuild entire structures, including pool cages, patios, porches, lanais, and screen roofs.

Pool Screen Repair & Rescreening

Pool cage screens in Kissimmee are constantly exposed to ultraviolet light, heat, and chlorine spray, which can cause the mesh to sag, weaken, or tear along the spline. We offer pool cage screen repair, replacement of individual panels, and complete rescreening based on the condition of the existing mesh. A standard 18x14 fiberglass screen generally lasts for about 5 to 8 years and is suitable for ordinary use in pool cages. The 20x20 no-see-um mesh lasts about 4 to 7 years and keeps smaller insects out, while pet-resistant screen lasts 8 to 12 years in the lower panels and door areas. Florida Glass is usually used in privacy areas and in the splash zones and can last 10 years or more. When we do a full rescreening, we also replace the spline because old spline can harden and lose its ability to maintain proper screen tension.

Patio and Porch Screen Enclosure Repair

Patio and porch screen enclosures often have issues where the frame meets the house or slab, especially because of roof runoff, standing water, and corroded fasteners. We repair patio screens and porch enclosures by resealing and retightening wall connections, replacing damaged base channels, and retensioning loose screen panels. In high-traffic areas, we can install 16- to 24-inch aluminum kickplates to help prevent further damage from lawn equipment, chairs, and pets. When the screen itself is still structurally sound but has only become stained or mildewed, cleaning will be sufficient and a full rescreen need not be carried out.

Aluminum Frame Repair

Damage to the screen enclosure frame has a structural effect and affects how wind and weight loads are transmitted throughout the entire cage. We either repair or replace any bent uprights, damaged posts, chair rails, horizontal members, hip and ridge beams, base plates, and slab anchors. We use an aluminum extrusion profile that matches what's already in place—typically 2x2, 2x3, or 2x4 framing—so the splices fit properly and the panel sizes stay the same. When multiple frame members have failed, a partial rebuild of the screen enclosure may be more cost-effective than several individual repairs, which is why we compare the two options before starting the work.

Rusted or Corroded Frame Repair

Corrosion in screen enclosures generally begins at the base because the aluminum framework contacts wet concrete, and moisture gathers around the screws. Typical signs include white oxidation, peeling paint, rust streaks, and screws that have loosened and are no longer secure. To repair corroded enclosures, we replace the damaged base rails and lower aluminum vertical supports, fitting new framing where the upper part of the structure is still in good condition. We also improve the fasteners by using stainless or coated ones, and seal the connection to the slab to reduce future moisture intrusion. When galvanic corrosion is caused by steel fittings coming into contact with aluminum, replacing the wrong type of fasteners addresses the root cause rather than only the visible damage.

Lanai Screen Repair

When repairing Lanai screens, you must work carefully around existing tiles, pavers, painted columns, and ceiling fans. We address loose or wind-damaged mesh, tears at pet and chair height, sun-bleached panels, loose chair rails, and gaps between the frame and the concrete slab. The color of the aluminum frame is matched, typically white or bronze, so that the repairs blend in with the screen enclosure. When only a few panels are damaged, but the surrounding screen is about 10 years old, we explain the likely differences in color and tension before replacing the individual panels.

Screen Panel Replacement

Replacing a single screen panel is the most common repair for screen enclosures and the best option when the damage affects only a few areas. To carry out the repair, we remove the old mesh and spline, clean the frame channel, cut the new screen to the correct size, fit the new spline with even tension, and then trim the panel for a smooth finish. Getting the tension right is essential—screen that is too loose will flutter and sag, while mesh tightened too much can pull the aluminum frame inward. Generally, panel repairs are quoted individually, and you can often replace several screen panels on a pool cage, patio, or lanai in a single visit.

Screen Door Repair & Replacement

Screen enclosure door repairs are common because doors and their hardware are used daily. We repair doors that drag, fix misaligned latches, replace failed self-closing hinges, correct sagging frames, and replace torn lower screen panels, usually upgrading damaged sections with pet-resistant mesh and kickplates. Nearly all hinge and latch repairs for residential doors can be done in a single visit. For sliding lanai screen doors, we replace worn rollers and tracks to fix sticking, binding, and doors jumping off the tracks.

Storm-Damaged Screen Enclosure Repair

The level of damage to the screen enclosure from hurricanes and tropical storms depends on the severity of each case. We record the damage with photographs and measurements, which can support insurance claims where applicable. In most cases, if the frame remains intact and only the screen panels have been blown out or torn, rescreening is all that is required. But in situations where the uprights are bent, the roof beams have been displaced, or the anchors have been pulled out, structural repair of the frame and re-anchoring will be necessary, and when parts have collapsed, or cages have become detached from the house, a permitted partial or full rebuild might be needed. Since the screen mesh is generally designed to yield under strong wind pressure, blown-out panels can, in some instances, help to reduce the stress on the aluminum frame.

Screen Roof Repair

Repairing roof screen enclosures is more demanding than repairing wall enclosures because roof screens cover larger areas and collect leaves, pine needles, branches, and storm debris. We repair blown-out roof panels, stretched mesh, bent purlins and hip beams, and leaks where the enclosure meets the house fascia. We can also re-tension a sagging roof screen and reseal the super gutter when leaks are traced to the house roof itself. However, because roof access requires proper staging to avoid loading the aluminum frame, pool cage roof repairs are more labor-intensive and are usually quoted separately.

Why We're the Best Screen Enclosure Company in Kissimmee

We follow a well-documented procedure that covers permitting, engineering, and installation, and we choose materials based on the heat, humidity, and wind conditions in Central Florida. Since our teams work in Kissimmee and throughout Osceola County, we know the local building codes and HOA restrictions that affect your project.

What Does Our Expert Screen Enclosure Process Involve?

Every project starts with a free on-site measurement. We check your slab condition, roofline, and existing footers, because these determine whether your enclosure needs new concrete work before framing begins. Next, we prepare engineered drawings and submit permit applications to Osceola County or the City of Kissimmee on your behalf.

Once the permit is issued, we schedule installation in a set sequence:

  1. Anchoring: base plates and columns secured to the slab
  2. Framing: beams, purlins, and chair rails assembled
  3. Screening: spline-installed panels, door hardware set
  4. Inspection: final county sign-off


Most residential lanai enclosures take two to four days of on-site labor. Pool cages with mansard roofs generally require longer.

Which Materials Do We Provide for Screen Enclosures?

We frame with extruded aluminum in 2x2, 2x3, and 2x4 profiles, powder-coated in white, bronze, or satin finishes. Aluminum resists rust in humid conditions and carries structural ratings suitable for Florida wind zones. For screening, we stock several options, see chart for details.

We also install insulated aluminum roof panels for covered patios, plus kickplates along the bottom sections where damage is most likely to occur.

Planning & Timeline

In Kissimmee, most screen enclosure projects take place between the first measurement and the completion of the final panel within two to five weeks, with Osceola County permitting making up a major part of that time. The following section explains how long each stage lasts, how we carry out the design and measuring, and the decisions you will have to make at various points.

How Long Does Screen Enclosure Installation Take?

Actual on-site construction is usually the shortest part of the project.

Phase
Typical Duration
Patio or Lanai Rescreen

1 Day

Small Patio Enclosure  (200 Sq Ft)

2-4 Days

Standard Pool Enclosure

4-7 Days

Mansard or Gable Pool Enclosure

7-12 Days

Weather is the main variable. Summer afternoon storms frequently stop work by 2 or 3 p.m., and we won't set screen in high winds because the mesh can tension unevenly. Permitting and inspection scheduling typically add one to three weeks before we ever arrive with materials.

Custom Screen Enclosure Installation Timeline

Here is how a typical custom project progresses

Site visit and estimate

1 - 3 days after your call

Design approval and contract

Same week, once you've selected framing color and mesh type

Engineering and permit submittal

3-7 days to prepare drawings, then county review

Material order and fabrication

Aluminum is cut to your dimensions, usually 1 to 2 weeks

Installation

Footers or base attachment first, then framing, then screen

Final Inspection

Scheduled after completion

Screen Enclosure Design Process

Design starts with how you plan to use the space. A pool cage needs code-compliant door closers and self-latching hardware, while a covered patio may prioritize shade and privacy.

We discuss four decisions with every client:

Roof Style

Flat pan, mansard, gable, or hip, depending on span and drainage.

Framing Size

2" x 2" for small spans, up to 2" x 6" beams for wide pool enclosures.


Mesh Selection

18/14 fiberglass mesh for standard insect protection, pet-resistant screen, or 20/20 no-see-um mesh for smaller gnats.

Color

White, bronze, and satin are the common choices for matching existing trim.

We also confirm wind load requirements, since enclosures here are engineered for Central Florida's design wind speeds.

Measuring Your Space for Screen Enclosures

We measure on site rather than working from plat drawings, because slab edges and existing footers rarely match the original blueprints.

Our measurement visit covers:

Measure the Slab: Record slab dimensions at multiple points to account for uneven or out-of-square concrete.

Check Footers: Verify existing footer depth and width where a pool deck or enclosure foundation is already in place.

Inspect Attachment Points: Measure host wall height and evaluate fascia condition and roofline tie-in locations.

Plan Doors & Grade Changes: Confirm door swing clearance and note elevation changes across the patio or pool deck.

Verify Setbacks & HOA Limits: Measure distances from property lines and identify any HOA-restricted areas that may affect screen enclosure installation.

Expect this visit to take 45 to 90 minutes for a pool enclosure. Accurate numbers here prevent field cuts later, which matters because factory-cut aluminum holds tighter tolerances than on-site adjustments.

Screen Enclosure Layout and Planning

Layout determines how the finished enclosure feels day to day. We position upright posts to preserve sightlines toward your yard or pool rather than placing them at fixed intervals.

Practical planning points we work through with you:

  • Door placement — kick plates on doors used by children and pets, and swing direction that clears deck furniture
  • Panel width — wider panels mean fewer posts but require heavier framing
  • Drainage — gutter and downspout placement so runoff moves away from the slab
  • Existing obstacles — pool equipment, A/C units, hose bibs, and irrigation heads
  • Future plans — screen height that leaves room if you later add a hot tub or outdoor kitchen

We produce a dimensioned layout drawing before fabrication so you can see post locations and door positions before anything is ordered.

Cost & Budget


Most screen enclosure jobs in Kissimmee cost between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on the square footage, frame type, mesh used, and Osceola County permitting requirements. The following section outlines price ranges, budgeting strategies, common cost surprises, and the payment options we offer.

Screen Enclosure Pricing Guide

Pricing in our service area is usually calculated per square foot of screened area, then adjusted for height, roof style, and access.

Project Type
Typical Range
Common Price Per Sq. Ft.
Rescreening an existing enclosure

$1,200 – $3,000

$2 - $4

Patio or lanai screen enclosure

$4,000 – $9,000

$18 – $28

Pool cage (mansard or gable roof)

$8,000 – $18,000

$22 – $38

Screen room with insulated roof

$12,000 – $30,000+

$45 – $80

Aluminum frames in white or bronze cost less than custom colors. Super Screen and pet-resistant mesh add roughly 15–25% over standard 18x14 fiberglass.

People tend to underestimate the importance of height. For each extra foot of wall height, the weight of the materials increases, as does the need for bracing and labor costs. The wind load rating also affects the price; Osceola County requires enclosures to be designed for specific wind speeds, and stronger framing members increase building costs.

How Much Do Screen Enclosures Cost?

Patio Enclosure

A straightforward 400-square-foot patio enclosure with standard fiberglass mesh and 2x2 aluminum uprights typically lands near $7,000 to $9,000 installed.

Pool Cage

Pool cages typically cost more because they require taller aluminum framing, engineered footers, and sloped roof systems. A two-story mansard pool enclosure over a 30-foot pool commonly ranges from $14,000–$20,000.

Rescreening

Rescreening is the least expensive service we perform. A full rescreen of a standard pool cage usually falls between $1,200 and $3,500, based on panel count and mesh selection.

Small Repairs

One or two panels, a new spline, a door closer, or a replacement kickplate, generally run $150 to $600.

Screen Enclosure Budget Planning

We recommend building your budget in 3 parts: structure, permitting, and finishing details.

When preparing your budget for the screen enclosure, allocate about 70 to 80 % to the structure—which should include the aluminum framing, the mesh, the fasteners, the doors, and the hardware—plus 8 to 15 percent for permitting and engineering and 5 to 20 percent for extras such as concrete work, electrical work, or modifications to the gutter.

It makes sense to include a 10% contingency in case the existing slab needs edge repair or a new tie beam is required before the framing can be securely anchored. When it's necessary, the project can be carried out in phases, for example, by first screening the patio and then adding the pool cage later. Likewise, having a detailed written scope that specifies the type of mesh, the frame gauge, and the number of doors also helps to avoid unexpected change orders.

Screen Enclosure Cost vs. Stock Alternatives

Homeowners often compare a custom enclosure against prefabricated or temporary options.

Stock Alternatives

Prefabricated screen enclosure kit prices usually range from about $2,500 to $6,000 and come in fixed sizes intended to match standard layouts. Wind-load engineering and sealed plans are generally not included, which can cause problems when obtaining permits in Florida. These kits often use lighter aluminum extrusions and self-tapping screws, which can cause panels to sag, corners to loosen, and deterioration over time due to weather. Their normal service life is about 5 to 10 years.

Screen Enclosures

The cost of a custom screen enclosure generally ranges from $4,000 to $18,000, depending on size, design, and materials. The structure is measured to your existing slab and roofline, and the project includes engineered plans as well as assistance with the permitting process. These custom enclosures also use heavier framing and structural fasteners designed for the humidity, wind, and storm conditions found in Florida. If properly installed and maintained, they can last about 15 to 25 years.

Our custom enclosures are measured to your slab, tied into your existing structure, and specified to pass inspection. The material cost is higher, but total installed cost is frequently comparable — and the fit is exact.

Hidden Screen Enclosure Costs

A quote that looks low often excludes items that surface later. Ask any contractor whether the following are included

Permits & Plan Reviews

Typically $250 to $700 in Osceola County

Engineering Letters

For pool cages or coastal wind zones

Concrete Work

Footer pours, slab extensions, or curb repair

Demolition & Haul-Away

Demolishing an old pool cage or screen enclosure adds labor, haul-away, and disposal fees.

Door Upgrades

Self-closing hinges and heavy-duty rollers

Electrical Relocation

When fans, lights, or outlets sit in the new frame path

Rescreening cost also depends on panel size. Large spans need stronger mesh, and that raises material cost beyond a basic per-square-foot rate.

We structure payments around project milestones rather than requiring the full amount upfront.

Screen Enclosures Payment Plans

A typical schedule looks like this:

  1. Deposit at contract signing to cover materials and permit submission
  2. Progress payment once framing is set and inspected
  3. Final payment after screening is complete and you have walked the finished enclosure

We also work with third-party home improvement lenders for financing on larger pool cage and sunroom projects, with terms generally running 24 to 120 months depending on approved credit. Estimates are free and include an itemized breakdown so you can see exactly where the money goes. If a line item is optional, we mark it that way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Enclosures Installation & Repair in Kissimmee, FL

Pricing, permitting, materials, and construction details are the questions we field most often from Osceola County homeowners. Below are straight answers based on how projects actually run in Kissimmee.

How much does a screen enclosure cost in Kissimmee?

Most screen enclosure projects in our area fall between $6,000 and $25,000, depending on size, height, and framing. A small patio or lanai screen room typically lands in the $6,000 to $12,000 range. Larger structures with mansard or gable roofs, taller wall heights, and reinforced framing tend to push costs toward the upper end.

Several factors shift the number:

  • Square footage of the enclosed area
  • Frame gauge and color (mill finish, white, or bronze)
  • Screen type — standard fiberglass, pet-resistant, or no-see-um mesh
  • Wind load requirements tied to your specific site
  • Foundation work, if a new slab or footer is needed

We provide itemized estimates so you can see exactly where the cost sits.

Do I need a permit to build a screen enclosure in Kissimmee?

Yes, screen enclosures are considered permanent construction under the Florida Building Code, and a building permit is required for any new construction, whether in the City of Kissimmee or in unincorporated Osceola County. Generally, permit applications require engineered drawings, a site survey or plot plan showing the setbacks, and wind-load calculations. Inspections usually cover the footer, framing, and final stage. If your property is subject to an HOA, you'll usually need architectural approval before submitting the permit application. We handle permit submission and inspection scheduling as part of the project. A simple replacement of the screening on an existing frame does not necessitate a permit since the structure itself remains unchanged.

What is the typical cost of a pool screen enclosure in Central Florida?

Pool cages are bigger and taller than patio enclosures and therefore cost more—typically $10,000 to $30,000 or more. The price per square foot for the enclosed area usually ranges from $8 to $20. A standard rectangular pool cage with a mansard roof is about halfway between those two figures. The taller it is, the more it costs. Homes with screened second-floor balconies that require two-story enclosures need more substantial framing and extra engineering, which raises the total cost. Add-ons like super gutters, extra doors, kickplates, and integrated lighting also affect the final price.

How much does it cost to rescreen an existing enclosure?

Rescreening is much cheaper than a new build. Homeowners in Kissimmee usually pay from $1 to $3 per square foot for labor and standard fiberglass mesh. Rescreening a typical pool cage costs between $800 and $2,500. You can usually replace smaller lanai panels for a few hundred dollars. Although this raises material costs, switching to pet-resistant screen or 20-by-20 no-see-um mesh extends the lifespan of the screening in high-traffic areas. If the frame is old, replacing the spline, screws, or corroded hardware may increase the total cost. Because of the Florida sun, screen life is generally limited to about 5 to 10 years, so regular rescreening is normal maintenance.

Can you build a screen enclosure around an existing patio or paver area?

In most cases, the answer is yes; we usually construct over existing concrete slabs and paver decks. With concrete, we examine the thickness and condition – the slab should usually be at least four inches thick and have a proper edge to secure the base track. If the slab is cracked or thin, then it may need reinforcing or a new footer. Pavers call for a different method: we either core through to a concrete beam or pour a footer under the frame line so that the anchors can be set in solid material rather than in sand-set pavers. During the on-site measurement, we look at the existing surface and let you know in advance if any extra preparation is required.

What types of screen enclosures are best for Florida weather?

Aluminum framing is the standard here because it resists rust and holds up to constant humidity. We use heavy-duty extruded aluminum with self-tapping stainless or coated fasteners.

Roof style matters for water and wind:

  • Mansard roofs shed rain well and are common on pool cages
  • Gable roofs add height and clearance over larger pools
  • Flat or shed styles work for attached patios and carports

For screening, 18x14 fiberglass mesh is the baseline. Pet-resistant mesh handles dogs and cats pushing against lower panels, and 20x20 no-see-um mesh blocks the smaller insects common near Lake Tohopekaliga and other water bodies.

All framing is engineered to meet Osceola County wind load requirements, allowing the structure to pass inspection and satisfy most insurance requirements.
