Porch Rescreening in Sarasota, FL

A full porch rescreen means we replace every screen panel on your porch with fresh mesh, new spline, and updated hardware where needed. It's the best option when your porch screen is uniformly worn out — faded, brittle, torn in multiple places, or screen that's so thin you can practically see through it even where it's not torn.

We see a lot of older Sarasota homes where the porch screen hasn't been replaced in 15 or 20 years. The homeowner has been patching holes here and there, but the whole thing is past its useful life. A full rescreen transforms the space — suddenly the porch looks clean, bright, and inviting again. The screen is taut, the bugs are out, and you actually want to sit out there.

Our process starts with a frame inspection. Before we put new screen on, we make sure the aluminum or wood frame is sound. Loose joints get tightened, corroded screws get replaced with stainless steel, and any damaged frame sections get repaired. Then we strip all old screen and spline, clean every channel, and install fresh panels methodically from one end to the other for consistent tension.

Sarasota porches come in all shapes and configurations, and we've worked on just about every one:

Front entry porches are typically smaller and simpler — maybe 8 to 15 panels with a screen door. They're quick to rescreen and make a big difference in curb appeal and usability.

Back porches range from modest to massive. Many Sarasota homes have large screened-in back porches that function as a true outdoor living room. These often have knee walls (half-height block or wood walls) with screen above, multiple doors, and sometimes ceiling fans.

Wrap-around porches are larger projects with more panels and often complex corners and transitions. We handle the angles and intersections carefully so every panel sits flat and the frame stays square.

Second-story porches and balconies require working at height, which we're fully equipped for. The process is the same, just with some extra safety precautions.

Whether your porch is a simple rectangle or an elaborate multi-section layout, we treat every job with the same attention to detail.

The right screen depends on how you use your porch and what problems you're trying to solve:

Standard Phifer 18x14 fiberglass is the go-to for most porch rescreens. It provides a clear view, good airflow, and effective insect protection. It's the most affordable option and works great for the average Sarasota porch.

For porches where pets spend time, PetScreen is the smart upgrade. It's dramatically tougher than standard fiberglass and resists tearing from claws and pushing. If you've been replacing panels because of your dog every few months, pet screen ends that cycle.

Privacy screen is available for lower panels on porches that face neighbors, sidewalks, or streets. It's a denser mesh that blocks the view from outside while still allowing airflow. You can see out but people can't easily see in — great for porches where you eat meals or relax in the evening.

We walk you through the options during the estimate so you can pick what makes sense for your space and your budget.
