How much does it cost to rescreen a pool cage in Sarasota?

A full rescreen of a structurally sound pool cage typically runs $1,200 to $3,500. Cage size, height and access, mesh choice and the condition of the spline grooves move the price, so 2H Rescreening measures on site for free and gives a written, itemized price. Projects up to $65,000 can be financed through Wisetack, subject to credit approval.

How long does a full pool cage rescreen take?

It depends on the size of the cage and how much of the roof is over water. 2H Rescreening gives the schedule in writing with the price, and the pool stays usable during the work.

Do I need a permit to rescreen a pool cage?

Generally no. Replacing screen on an existing, structurally sound enclosure is not permitted work. A permit is required when the frame itself is replaced or altered, and 2H Rescreening pulls that under Florida license CRC1334065.

Can I rescreen only one side of the pool cage?

Yes. The west and south faces take the most sun and usually fail first. Doing one full elevation keeps new screen from looking patchy next to old panels and costs less than the whole cage.

How long does new pool cage screen last in Florida?

Most pool cage screen in Florida lasts 7 to 10 years, depending on sun exposure, storms and material. Polyester lasts longer than standard fiberglass. 2H Rescreening labor carries a 1-year warranty and the screen carries its manufacturer's warranty.

Q: What if the frame is the problem, not the screen?

2H Rescreening checks the frame before pricing the screen. Corroded grooves and failed fasteners are fixed first. If the structure itself is at the end of its life, the homeowner is told and shown what a replacement cage involves.

When the screen has gone chalky, sags under your palm, or you are patching a new bay every few months, the material is finished. We strip every panel, replace the spline, and put the cage back the way it looked the year it was built. Most sound cages run $1,200 to $3,500; you get a written number after a free on-site measure.

What it costs

A full rescreen of a sound pool cage typically runs $1,200 to $3,500. Four things move the number.

We do not quote a rescreen over the phone, because the two cages that look the same from the street are not the same job. We measure on site, check the spline grooves and the fasteners, and hand you a written, itemized price. The visit is free.

If only one side of the cage is failing — usually the west or south face — we will price that elevation alone. And if one panel is all you need, that is a screen repair, not a rescreen, and we will say so.

Size of the cagePanel count and square footage of screen — the biggest driver

Height and accessTwo-story walls and roof panels over water take more time and rigging

Mesh you chooseStandard Phifer 18/14, or no-see-um, pet-resistant or polyester where it pays

Condition of the frameCorroded grooves or failed fasteners get fixed first, or new screen will not hold

Is it time?

Four signs the whole cage is due

Most pool cage screen in Florida lasts 7 to 10 years. Sun and salt air are what end it, and they end it everywhere at roughly the same time.

It tears at the spline on its own

Nothing hit it. The screen simply pulled out of the groove. That is material failure, and the panel next to it is the same age.

It sags under your palm

Press the mesh. Good screen pushes back. Screen that stretches and stays stretched has lost its tension for good.

Third patch this year

Two or three repairs in a season means you are paying panel by panel for a job that costs less done once.

Chalky, faded or brittle

Screen that has gone grey and crunchy to the touch has been cooked by UV. It will not survive the next storm season.

The screen itself

Four meshes, and when each one is worth it

A full rescreen is the one time you can choose the mesh for the whole cage — or mix them, panel by panel, where each one earns its price.

Phifer 18/14 fiberglass

The default, made in the USA, and the right answer for most pool cages. Keeps out mosquitoes and holds a clear view.

No-see-um mesh

A tighter weave for homes on water. If the midges get through at dusk, this is the fix — the trade is slightly less airflow.

Pet-resistant screen

Heavier weave that takes a dog leaning on it. Most homeowners put it on the bottom row only, and standard mesh above.

Perfect Screen polyester

Stronger than fiberglass and holds its shape across wide bays. Costs more up front and lasts longer under Florida sun.

How it works

What a full rescreen involves

Rescreening a structurally sound cage does not need a permit, and the pool stays usable while we work.

Step 01

Free measure and frame check

We count and measure every panel, check the spline grooves and the fasteners, and give you a written, itemized price. No deposit to get a number.

Step 02

Every panel and all the spline come out

Both. Reusing old spline is the most common shortcut in this trade and the reason a cheap rescreen pulls loose a year later.

Step 03

New mesh, rolled to even tension

Correct spline gauge for the groove, rolled to tension bay by bay. Too loose it sags; too tight it tears at the corner.

Step 04

Cleanup and walkthrough

Old screen leaves with us, the deck gets swept, and we walk the cage with you panel by panel before anyone signs anything.

“I needed a very small repair done and it’s hard to find people that want to just do that. These people came right out, charged a very reasonable price, and the job was perfect.”

“Excellent customer service and workmanship. Once we got approval from our HOA and the county, they were able to get the job done in 5 days. I would highly recommend 2H Rescreening!”
