Screen enclosure services in Tampa and the bay area
Screen enclosure services in Tampa fall into three groups: work on the screen, new aluminum structures, and repairs to the frame and its parts. Knowing which group your job sits in tells you a lot about price and paperwork before anyone visits. Screen work on a sound frame is usually the cheapest and, in several counties, needs no permit. New structures in Tampa, FL and every surrounding county need a permit and engineered plans. Frame repairs land in between and depend on whether a structural member is touched.
Pick the closest match below, or use the table to work out which service fits what you are seeing.
Rescreening and screen repair
The screen itself: one torn panel, a whole cage, a lanai, or every screen in a building.
New enclosures and replacements
New aluminum structures: pool cages, patio and entry enclosures, roll-down screens and full rebuilds.
Repairs, doors and upkeep
Everything on the frame: storm damage, doors, paint, gutters and taking an old cage down.
Which service do you need?
Start from what you can see, not from the name of a service. The same torn screen can be a $75 panel or the first sign of a frame that needs replacing, so the table pairs common symptoms with the service page that covers them and the published price range for that work.
| What you see | Service | Published range |
|---|---|---|
| One to a few torn or popped panels | Pool screen repair | $75 to $150 per panel; $250 to $600 for several |
| Most of the screen faded, brittle or sagging | Pool cage rescreening | $1,500 to $4,500+ for a full cage |
| Torn screen on a lanai or porch with no pool | Lanai screen repair | $800 to $1,600 for a 200 to 400 sq ft lanai |
| Door drags, will not latch or close on its own | Pool cage door replacement | $100 to $250 per door for hardware |
| Chalky, faded or peeling frame paint | Pool cage painting | $1.50 to $2.50 per sq ft |
| Gutter leaking or pulling off the fascia | Pool cage gutter repair | $35 to $75 per linear ft (Florida) |
| No cage yet, or a slab or patio to screen in | Pool enclosure installation or patio screen enclosure | $10,000 to $30,000+ for a new pool cage |
| Bent beams or posts after a storm | Hurricane damage repair | Post $300 to $700; beam $400 to $1,200 (Florida) |

Two jobs are easy to mix up. A rescreen replaces the mesh in every panel of a frame that is still sound; a replacement takes the frame down and builds a new one to the current Florida Building Code. Contractors put a well-kept aluminum frame at 20 to 30 years or more, against roughly 5 to 10 years for standard fiberglass screen, so most cages need two or three rescreens before a replacement makes sense.

Screen enclosure services in Tampa Bay, FL: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between rescreening and pool screen repair?
Repair replaces a handful of torn or loose panels and is priced per panel, from about $75 a panel with a minimum charge in Tampa Bay. Rescreening replaces the screen in every panel of the cage, usually about $1,500 to $4,500 for a typical Florida pool cage.
When should a pool cage be replaced instead of rescreened?
Replace the cage when beams are bent, the aluminum is corroded through or the frame was damaged in a storm. A straight, sound frame only needs new screen, and Florida contractors put a well-kept aluminum frame at 20 to 30 years or more.
Does a new pool enclosure need a permit in Tampa Bay?
Yes. Every county and nearly every city we checked requires a building permit for a new screen enclosure, and Hillsborough County asks for engineer-sealed plans. Screen-only rescreening is exempt in some places, such as Pasco and Hernando counties.
Who can build or repair a screen enclosure in Florida?
Screen enclosure work falls under the state Specialty Structure Contractor license, which covers screened porches, screened enclosures and pool enclosures. Hillsborough County also issues a local aluminum structure license, so ask for the license number before you sign.
