Typical Sarasota cage: replace worn roof and wall mesh, keep sound framing in place.
SCREEN ARMORS is based in Nokomis and works throughout Sarasota County. If a branch, spline, or roof panel gave out after a storm—or if the mesh is simply brittle after years of UV—we will tell you whether a targeted repair is enough or a full rescreen is the better value.
Pool Cage Repair
Most Sarasota pool cages fail in predictable spots: roof bays that collect debris, lower kick panels that rust, and door frames that sag. We repair those sections, match the existing mesh when it still has life, and check fasteners so the next storm does not reopen the same hole.
Screen enclosure repair here often includes spline replacement and hardware that has oxidized in the humidity. You do not need a new cage if the aluminum is still true.
Screen Replacement
Single panel screen repair is the usual first visit. One torn bay after a chair, a pet, or a falling branch does not require rescreening the whole lanai. We replace that panel, tension it, and walk the rest of the enclosure so you know what else is close to failing.
When several walls are faded or the roof mesh is chalking, we plan a full rescreen so you are not paying for the same trip twice. See how we handle screen repair from one panel up to a complete cage.
Lanai Screen Repair
Attached lanais in older Sarasota neighborhoods take more traffic than a backyard cage. Doors wear, pets lean, and furniture scuffs the lower course. Lanai screen repair usually starts at those high-wear bays, then we look at closers and thresholds so the door actually stays shut.
Full Rescreening
Pool cage rescreening makes sense when the mesh is uniformly tired—not when two panels are torn. A full rescreen lets us upgrade mesh type, reset spline, and leave a consistent look from the pool to the roof. We schedule around how you use the patio so the space is not open longer than it needs to be.
Screen Materials
Coastal bugs and pets drive most material choices in Sarasota. 18/14 remains the everyday mesh for airflow. No-see-um (20/20) is the upgrade when midges are the complaint, especially closer to the bay. Pet screen is the right call on lower walls if dogs or cats use the lanai. We will not upsell a full-cage pet mesh if only the kick course needs it.
If the frame itself is chalked, loose, or stained, pool cage restoration (wash, stainless screws, paint, then new screen) is often cheaper than tearing the structure down.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you schedule screen repair in Sarasota?
It depends on the week and whether we already have the mesh on the truck. Most panel jobs can be booked quickly—call (941) 404-9699 for the next opening.
Do you repair individual panels or only full rescreens?
Both. If two or three bays failed and the rest is still flexible, we repair those panels. If the mesh is brittle everywhere, a full rescreen costs less over the next few seasons.
Is no-see-um screen worth it near Siesta Key?
Often yes for evening use. 20/20 cuts the smallest insects; 18/14 still breathes better. We will say so if standard mesh is enough for your block.
