Patio Screen Enclosures in Sarasota, FL

Whether you need a few panels patched up or the entire patio rescreened, we handle it all. Patio enclosures in Sarasota take the same abuse as pool cages — UV damage, storm debris, humidity, salt air — but they also see heavy daily use. The screen door gets opened and closed dozens of times a day. Kids and pets bump into the lower panels. Furniture gets rearranged and scrapes the screen.

The result is that patio enclosures often need a combination of repairs: some panels replaced, door rollers swapped out, a couple of frame joints tightened up. We assess everything during our free estimate and give you a complete picture of what needs attention. If only a few panels are torn and the rest is solid, we'll replace just those. If the screen is faded and brittle throughout, a full rescreen gives you better long-term value.

The Florida climate is tough on outdoor structures, and patio enclosures are no exception. Here's what we see most often and how we address it:

UV-damaged screen is the number one issue. Standard fiberglass screen typically lasts 7 to 10 years in Sarasota before it becomes brittle enough to tear easily. When we rescreen, we recommend Phifer Super Screen for patios that get direct afternoon sun — it has better UV resistance and a noticeably longer lifespan.

Frame corrosion happens gradually, especially in homes closer to the Gulf. The aluminum itself is durable, but the screws and hardware often rust first, loosening the frame connections. We replace corroded screws with stainless steel during every repair — it's a small upgrade that makes a big difference in longevity.

Door wear is constant. Sliding screen doors have rollers that wear out, tracks that bend from foot traffic, and screens that get stretched from use. We carry replacement rollers and hardware on our truck, so door repairs usually happen the same day you call.

Different patios need different screen depending on how you use the space. We'll help you choose the right material based on your situation:

For most homeowners, Phifer 18x14 standard fiberglass is the right choice. It provides excellent visibility, keeps insects out, allows good airflow, and comes at the most affordable price point. It's what the majority of Sarasota patio enclosures use.

If your patio faces west and takes direct afternoon sun, Super Screen is worth the upgrade. It handles UV exposure better than standard fiberglass and won't degrade as quickly. The panels last noticeably longer, which means fewer repairs and a longer interval between full rescreens.

Pet screen makes sense if dogs or cats use the patio regularly. It's much harder to tear than standard screen, so you won't be replacing panels every time Fido gets excited about a squirrel. And for patios that face a neighbor's house or a street, we can install privacy screen on the lower panels to give you some seclusion without blocking airflow.

We service patio screen enclosures throughout the greater Sarasota area. From the island communities of Siesta Key and Longboat Key to inland neighborhoods in Lakewood Ranch and Palmer Ranch, and down through Venice, Englewood, and North Port — we cover it all.

Every home's patio setup is a little different. Some are simple rectangular enclosures off the back of the house. Others wrap around corners, include built-in seating areas, or connect to a pool cage. We've worked on all of them and we know how to handle the unique framing and attachment points that different patio configurations present.
