Torn screens, rusty screws, chalky aluminum, or a cage that no longer sits right? Use this guide to pick the right path then get a free estimate from Rescreening 4 Less. Less mess. Less headache. Less cost. Less worry.
One torn bay after a limb, dog, or single storm panel. Panel repair is right when the rest of the mesh is OK, and wrong when the rest of the mesh is chalked and brittle.
Most panels are gray or brittle, spline is crawling out, or tears return after every wind event. If the frame is still square, a full rescreen is usually the answer. A frame can still be chalky — that is still a rescreen unless hardware or paint is failing too. Pool cage rescreening.
Choose restoration when screens need replacement plus orange streaks under screws, doors that will not latch, failing kickplates, or chalky aluminum that needs coating. Restoration treats the layers in order. See pool lanai restoration and pool cage repainting.
Buckled posts, failed welds, or an enclosure that no longer sits on the slab are replacement warning signs. Restoration will not make a compromised skeleton safe. A rebuild commonly runs much higher than restoring a sound frame.
| If the enclosure is… | Do this |
|---|---|
| One or a few torn bays; rest of mesh OK | Panel repair |
| Square frame; mesh worn out | Full rescreen |
| Mesh + rusty fasteners/doors/chalky aluminum | Restoration (± paint) |
| Bent posts, failed welds, off the slab | Replace |

Often yes. Send photos of the whole cage, close-ups of tears, screws, and doors. We confirm on-site before any work.
Usually, when the frame is still square. A full rebuild commonly runs far higher. You get a number after we measure.
Like-for-like rescreening is often simpler than a new structure. Cities in Pinellas and Hillsborough do not all treat paint the same way — we discuss this at the estimate.
Only if the aluminum is chalky or faded. Paint goes on the bare frame with screens off.
