In Central Florida a screen enclosure isn’t a luxury. It’s how the pool gets used year-round. It keeps out mosquitoes, leaves, oak pollen and lizards, shades the water, and makes the whole pool area feel like another room of the house.

Whether you need a brand-new enclosure, a rescreen of a tired one, or repairs after a storm, we’ll match the style to your home and build it to current Florida wind-load code.

Why homeowners enclose their pool

• Far fewer bugs: enjoy the pool at dusk without getting eaten alive
• Much less debris in the water, which means less cleaning and lower chemical costs
• Shade and lower water temperatures in peak summer; less evaporation
• Can count toward Florida’s residential pool barrier requirement when properly built with compliant doors
• A protected outdoor living space for furniture, a kitchen or a lanai

Signs it’s time to rescreen

• Tears, holes or sagging panels
• Screen that’s faded, brittle or chalky to the touch
• Loose or missing splines and kick-plates
• Storm damage or bent members

Rescreening an existing frame is usually a 1–2 day job and refreshes the whole look.

Enclosure styles

What drives the cost

Size: the pool plus the deck area you cover. A height of 7–8 ft or more lets you walk comfortably around the pool. Shape and roof style: domes, gables and two-story frames use more material. Materials: aluminum frame gauge and color, and screen type. Site work and permitting: footers, attachment to the house and engineering. We give you a clear, itemized quote.

Screen options

Standard pool-and-patio screen is the everyday choice. Upgrades include heavier, more tear-resistant screen; solar or privacy screen that cuts sun and glare; no-see-um screen with a tighter weave; and pet-resistant screen on lower panels.

Built for hurricanes

New enclosures are engineered to Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for your area. That means proper footers, anchoring and fastening. In a severe storm, screen panels are designed to release before the frame fails, so a rescreen is often all that’s needed afterward. Older frames that predate current code are worth an inspection.

Will it make the area too dark?

Standard screen reduces sunlight only modestly. The pool area stays bright, just with less glare and heat. If you want more shade, solar screen on the sunniest sides is an easy upgrade.

How we do it

1. AssessWe inspect the existing frame (or the site for a new enclosure) and measure.
2. Design & permitStyle, height, screen type and engineering. We pull the permit.
3. Build or rescreenNew footers and frame, or new screen and spline on your existing structure.
4. Inspect & walk-throughFinal inspection, doors and closers checked, and a walk-through with you.
