Window and lanai screen repair
A torn screen lets in the bugs it is there to keep out. Rescreening a panel is quick, and pet-resistant or no-see-um mesh can go in at the same time.

What people call about
- Torn or sagging window screens.
- Screen doors with ripped mesh.
- A torn panel in a pool enclosure or screened lanai.
- Bent screen frames, or missing spline.
- Mesh damaged by pets.
Before the handyman arrives
- A screen is not a safety barrier. Do not rely on it to keep a child or a pet in on an upper floor or by a pool.
- Damage to the aluminium frame of a pool enclosure itself (bent beams, loose uprights) is structural work for an enclosure contractor.
- Measure or count the panels that need doing; it makes the estimate quicker.
What the handyman does
- Old mesh and spline removed and the frame cleaned.
- New mesh rolled in with the right size spline and trimmed neatly.
- Pet-resistant, no-see-um or solar mesh fitted where you want it.
- Bent window screen frames straightened or rebuilt to size.
- Lanai and pool-enclosure panels rescreened one panel at a time.
South Florida and beyond
Screened lanais and pool enclosures are everywhere in South Florida, and sun, storms and falling palm fronds tear panels every year. No-see-um mesh is popular near the coast and the Everglades, and solar mesh cuts glare on west-facing lanais.
Questions people ask
- Can you rescreen just one lanai panel?
- Yes. Single panels are replaced individually, and the handyman can match standard charcoal mesh closely.
- What is pet-resistant mesh?
- A heavier, tougher mesh that resists claws and pushing. It is a little less see-through than standard mesh and is the usual choice for the lower panels where a dog goes.
- Do you replace sliding screen doors?
- Torn mesh on a screen door can be replaced. For sliding glass doors themselves, a sliding door specialist is the better call.
