Screen repair and rescreening
Screen work is priced by how much mesh goes up and how hard it is to reach. A wall panel worked from the deck is the cheapest unit there is; a roof panel over the deep end costs more because of the planking and the extra pair of hands. A full rescreen is priced on total screen area, which on most cages is two to three times the deck footprint once the roof and walls are counted.
| Job | Estimated price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Several panels or one side of a cage | $200–$900 | Partial rescreen, standard mesh |
| Full rescreen, small enclosure | $900–$1,500 | Entry screens and compact cages |
| Full rescreen, typical pool cage | $1,500–$3,500 | Single-story cage, 18x14 fiberglass |
| Full rescreen, large or two-story cage | $4,500–$7,500 and up | Often with no-see-um or polyester mesh |
| Rescreen priced by area | $1.50–$3.50 per sq ft of screen | Installed; walls plus roof, not the deck footprint |
| No-see-um mesh upgrade | $1,000–$1,500 | Added to a full cage rescreen |
| Single screen panel replaced | $50–$80 per panel | Naples rate for wall panels; roof panels run higher |
| Minimum service call | $100–$200 | Covers the trip and setup on small repairs |
| Door hardware, closer and latch | $100–$250 per door | Self-closing, self-latching pool door |

Painting and restoration
A repaint is mostly labor: washing off salt and chalk, sanding, masking and the finish itself. That is why a large or two-story enclosure jumps so far, since lifts, staging and the sheer surface area multiply the hours.
| Job | Estimated price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Frame repaint, compact cage | $750–$1,250 | Small lanai or entry enclosure |
| Frame repaint, single-story pool cage | $2,500–$6,500 | Wash, sand, mask and a full finish coat |
| Frame repaint, large or two-story | $13,000–$25,000 | Lifts, staging and much more surface |

New pool cages
A new enclosure carries costs a rescreen never does: engineering drawings, the permit, footers or anchors into the deck, and fabrication of every beam and upright. Height and roof style move the price the most after footprint, and picture window panels add aluminum because longer spans need deeper beams.
| Job | Estimated price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New pool cage, smaller and simple | $6,000–$14,000 | Small footprint, flat or low mansard roof |
| New pool cage, typical Naples home | $16,500–$34,000 | With engineering and permit; about $9–$16.50 per sq ft |

Add-ons, priced separately
| Job | Estimated price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| No-see-um mesh upgrade | $1,000–$1,500 | Added to a full cage rescreen |
| Door hardware, closer and latch | $100–$250 per door | Self-closing, self-latching pool door |
| Hurricane bracing and anchor upgrade | Priced after inspection | Depends on what the frame already has |
Price per square foot
Per-square-foot numbers are useful for comparing quotes, even though most screen jobs are priced as a whole. For rescreening, Southwest Florida installers work in a band of roughly $1.50–$3.50 per square foot of screen installed. For a new cage, about $9–$16.50 per square foot of enclosed area. As a worked example, a cage with 1,200 square feet of wall and roof screen would come to roughly $1,800–$4,200 to rescreen at those rates. That is a calculation, not a quote.
What moves the price on a Naples property
- Height. Two-story cages on lakefront and Gulf-access homes need staging and take longer.
- Water nearby. Homes beside mangroves or a preserve often want no-see-um mesh, which costs more.
- Salt exposure. Closer to the Gulf, more fasteners need replacing and more oxidation needs prep.
- Access. Gated communities, narrow side yards and landscaped beds slow the work down.
- Association rules. Required frame colors or mesh types can narrow your options.
- Permitting office. Unincorporated Collier County, the City of Naples and Marco Island each run their own process.
Why local quotes disagree
Two companies can look at the same cage and come back $1,500 apart, and neither is necessarily wrong. These are the differences we see most often when homeowners show us other estimates:
- Screen area. Some quotes measure the roof and walls; some guess from the deck size.
- Mesh grade. Imported fiberglass and a branded mesh look the same on the day and very different three summers later.
- Fasteners. Swapping rusted screws for stainless adds labor that one quote includes and another skips.
- Disposal. Hauling away old screen and spline is real time, and not every quote lists it.
- Permits and engineering. On structural work, a low number that leaves these out is not a lower price.

Cost questions
How much does it cost to rescreen a pool cage in Naples?
For a typical single-story cage, an estimated $1,500–$3,500 with standard 18x14 fiberglass. Large or two-story cages, or a no-see-um or polyester mesh, can run $4,500–$7,500 and up.
How much does a new pool cage cost in Naples?
Most homes fall in an estimated $16,500–$34,000 range including engineering and permit, about $9–$16.50 per square foot. Small, simple enclosures can start around $6,000.
Is it cheaper to repair or rescreen?
A few panels are always cheaper to repair, at roughly $50–$80 each plus a visit minimum. Once more than about a third of the panels are failing, a full rescreen usually costs less over the next few years.
Do permit fees add to the price?
On permitted work they do, and so does engineering. We list both on the written estimate so you can see them separately from labor and materials.
Why do Naples quotes for the same cage disagree so much?
Companies measure differently, price roof panels differently, choose different mesh and hardware, and some leave out permits or disposal. Compare quotes line by line, not by the total.
