Two-Story Screen Enclosure in Sarasota, FL

Two-story enclosures face all the same issues as single-story cages — UV damage, storm debris, salt air corrosion — but the problems are amplified by height. Upper panels are harder to inspect from the ground, so damage often goes unnoticed until it spreads. Wind loads are stronger at elevation, which means panels tear more easily during storms. And the frames carry more structural load, so corroded bolts and weakened joints at height are a more serious concern.

The practical challenge is access. Replacing a panel at 25 feet isn't something you do from a step ladder. It requires proper equipment, safety training, and experience working at elevation. A lot of screen companies in Sarasota will pass on two-story jobs or subcontract them out. We handle them directly with our own crew and equipment.

Whether you need a full rescreen of a two-story cage or targeted repairs on a handful of upper panels, we've got the setup to do it right. For full rescreens, we work systematically from top to bottom — clearing the upper sections first while we have the elevated platforms in position, then working down to the lower panels and doors.

For targeted repairs, we bring the right equipment to reach the specific panels that need attention. If you've had storm damage to a few upper panels, we can replace just those without touching the rest of the enclosure.

Frame work on two-story structures gets the same careful treatment. We inspect beams, joints, and hardware at every level. Corroded screws are replaced with stainless steel, loose joints are tightened, and any structural concerns are addressed before new screen goes on. The goal is always a result that's safe, secure, and looks clean from the ground up.

Two-story screened enclosures are common in many Sarasota neighborhoods — Lakewood Ranch, Palmer Ranch, Venice, and the barrier island communities all have their share of tall pool cages and enclosures. We service the entire county and bring the appropriate equipment for each job.

During our free estimate, we'll assess the full enclosure, including the upper sections that are hard to evaluate from the ground. We use ladders and visual inspection to identify every panel and frame issue so the quote is complete and there are no surprises once work begins. Give us a call and we'll schedule a visit — two-story enclosures are part of our regular workload, not a special exception.
