The short answer: pool screen repair replaces the mesh in the damaged panels and fixes the hardware around them, leaving sound screen alone. In Naples, single wall panels are published at about $50–$80 each, most visits carry a $100–$200 minimum, and a handful of panels usually lands between $200 and $900.
Repairs we handle every week
- Torn or punctured panels from dogs, palm fronds, a dropped ladder or a pressure washer held too close.
- Panels that blew out when the spline dried, shrank and let go in a gust.
- High roof panels above the water, which need planks and two people to do safely.
- Kick panels along the bottom rail, which we often redo in a tougher pet-resistant screen.
- Doors with a dead closer, a sagging hinge or a latch that no longer catches.
- Rusted screws and loose cable that let the frame rack and the screen flap.
Is your pool door still a safety barrier?
In many Florida homes the screen enclosure is part of the pool barrier, which is why the door is expected to close and latch by itself. A closer that has lost its spring or a latch that no longer catches is a safety problem, not a cosmetic one, and it is one of the first things we check on any repair visit. Door hardware typically runs $100–$250 per door.
Patch it, or rescreen the cage?
Repairs make sense when the screen next to the damage is still supple and the trouble is local. If the panels around a tear crumble when pressed, a new panel will be surrounded by old ones that fail next, and a full pool cage rescreen is the better spend. We show you the difference on your own screen, with a finger and a flashlight, rather than asking you to take our word for it.
Why roof panels cost more
Wall panels are reached from the deck. Roof panels sit over the pool on purlins that dent if you lean on them, so we plank across, work in pairs and take our time. That is why the low end of any per-panel price means a wall panel, and why a roof repair is priced after we have seen it.
| Job | Estimated price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Several panels or one side of a cage | $200–$900 | Partial rescreen, standard mesh |
| Door hardware, closer and latch | $100–$250 per door | Self-closing, self-latching pool door |
Repair prices here are estimates drawn from published Naples and national figures, and small jobs carry a minimum. We confirm the number on site before touching anything. Every job type is listed in the pool cage cost guide for Naples.
When the frame is the real problem
A panel that pops out twice in a month is usually telling you something about the aluminum, not the screen. A beam that has bowed, an upright that has twisted or an anchor lifting out of the deck will keep pulling new screen loose. We check for that before replacing mesh, and if it is structural we price the frame repair first. Older cages can often be braced at the same time; ask about hurricane upgrades when we visit.
Common questions
Can you match my existing screen color?
Charcoal 18x14 is by far the most common, and we carry it. A new panel will look slightly darker than faded screen beside it for the first few months, then the difference softens.
Do you replace pool cage doors?
Yes. We rehang doors, replace closers and latches, rescreen the door panel, or replace the door when the frame is bent.
Do you repair storm damage?
Yes. After a storm we document the damage with photos and a written scope you can give your insurer, then repair what can be saved. Coverage for screen enclosures varies widely by carrier, so check your own policy.
