Screen Enclosure Repair in Sarasota, FL

Florida is harder on screen enclosures than just about anywhere else in the country. You've got year-round UV exposure that degrades fiberglass screen over time, making it brittle and prone to tearing. You've got hurricane season bringing wind, rain, and flying debris that can shred panels in minutes. You've got salt air along the Gulf Coast that corrodes hardware and weakens frame connections.

Then there are the everyday hazards — kids throwing balls, dogs jumping against the screen, lawn equipment kicking up rocks, tree branches rubbing against panels in the wind. Even palmetto bugs can create enough force to push through weakened screen.

The thing about screen damage is that it tends to get worse fast. A small tear becomes a big tear. A loose panel flaps in the wind and pulls more spline out of the channel. One compromised panel puts extra stress on the panels next to it. Catching damage early and getting it repaired saves you money compared to waiting until half the enclosure needs attention.

We handle everything from a single torn panel to multi-panel repairs with frame work. Here's what we cover:

Screen panel replacement is the most common repair. We remove the damaged screen and old spline, clean the spline channel, and install a new panel with fresh screen and spline. We carry standard fiberglass, Super Screen, and pet screen on our truck so we can match your existing mesh on the spot.

Frame repairs address bent, corroded, or broken aluminum members. We straighten what we can, replace what we can't, and reinforce weak connections. Common frame issues include horizontal bars that sag over time, corner brackets that come loose, and vertical posts that shift after settling.

Door repairs cover sliding screen doors, hinged entry doors, and pet doors. We replace rollers, fix tracks, rescreen door panels, replace handles and latches, and install new doors when the old one is past saving.

Spline replacement is something a lot of people don't think about, but old spline is often the reason screen comes loose. We replace hardened or shrunken spline during every panel repair — it's the only way to get a proper seal.

We're picky about materials because cheap supplies lead to repeat repairs. Every screen enclosure repair we do uses Phifer brand screen — it's manufactured right here in the US and it's the standard for Florida screen enclosures. We stock 18x14 fiberglass for standard applications, pet screen for homes with dogs and cats, and Super Screen for maximum durability.

All hardware replacements use stainless steel fasteners. Standard zinc-plated screws rust within a year or two in our climate, especially near the coast. Stainless steel costs a little more but it doesn't corrode, so your repairs last longer and your frame stays solid.

We also use fresh, high-quality spline for every panel we install. The spline is what holds the screen in the channel, and old or cheap spline is the number one reason panels come loose prematurely. Getting this detail right is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails in six months.
