Pool Enclosure Repair in Sarasota, FL

Living in Sarasota means your pool enclosure takes a beating year-round. The biggest culprit is the sun — constant UV exposure makes fiberglass screen brittle over time, and one good gust of wind can blow a panel right out. We see it all the time, especially on cages that haven't been maintained in a while.

Storm damage is the other big one. Even a tropical storm that doesn't make direct landfall can throw enough debris around to punch holes in your screen. Fallen palm fronds, airborne branches, and wind-driven rain all take their toll. Then there's the slower damage — aluminum oxidation from salt air near the coast, screws that rust and lose their grip, spline that hardens and shrinks out of the channel.

We also repair damage caused by fallen tree limbs, raccoons and other wildlife that claw through screens to get at your pool, and the occasional ladder or pool equipment mishap. Whatever caused the damage, we've seen it before and we know how to fix it properly.

We don't believe in band-aid fixes. When we repair your pool enclosure, we address the root cause so the same problem doesn't come back next month. Here's what a typical repair visit looks like:

First, we assess the full extent of the damage. Sometimes what looks like one torn panel is actually three panels with compromised spline and a frame section that's shifted. We check everything in the affected area so nothing gets missed.

For screen panel repairs, we remove the damaged screen and old spline, clean the channel, and install a new panel with fresh spline. We match the screen type to your existing mesh — standard fiberglass, Super Screen, or pet screen — and make sure the tension is right so it doesn't sag.

Frame repairs might involve straightening bent aluminum, replacing corroded sections, re-riveting loose joints, or reinforcing areas that have weakened over time. We carry common aluminum extrusions on our truck, so most frame repairs can be handled in a single visit.

Door repairs include roller replacement, track cleaning or replacement, screen re-stretching, handle and latch repair, and full door replacement when the frame is too damaged to salvage.

This is the question we get asked the most, and the answer depends on the overall condition of your enclosure. If you have a few torn panels and the rest of the screen is solid, a repair is the smart move. You save money and the screen stays consistent.

But if the damage is spread across the cage — multiple torn panels, screen that's faded and brittle everywhere, spline that's pulling out on its own — patching individual spots becomes a losing battle. At that point, a full rescreen is more cost-effective because you're getting everything new at once instead of paying for one repair after another.

We'll always give you an honest recommendation. If a $200 repair will solve your problem, that's what we'll tell you. If you're better off doing a full rescreen, we'll explain why. No upselling, no pressure.

We serve homeowners throughout the Sarasota area — from downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key to Venice, Englewood, North Port, and everywhere in between. Whether you're in a waterfront home on Longboat Key dealing with salt air corrosion or in a Lakewood Ranch neighborhood where a storm knocked out a few panels, we've got you covered.

Because we're local and based in Englewood, we can usually schedule your repair quickly and keep travel time short. That means faster service and lower overhead, which we pass along to you. We know the area, we know the common issues that Sarasota pool enclosures face, and we keep the most common materials on hand so there's no waiting for special orders on routine repairs.
