Short answer: pool screen repair replaces the mesh in the damaged panels only. In Fort Myers a single panel runs an estimated $50–$300, and a visit to fix several panels about $200–$900, depending on how high the panels are.
What we repair
- Torn panels from pets, branches, a ladder or a pressure washer.
- Blown-out panels where the spline let go in wind.
- Roof panels above the pool that most people can't safely reach.
- Kick panels along the bottom rail, often swapped for a tougher pet screen.
- Doors that drag, won't latch or have a broken closer.
- Loose or missing trim and fasteners that let panels flap.
Repair or full rescreen?
If the rest of the screen is still flexible and the damage is in a few places, repair is the right call. If the mesh around the holes tears easily when pressed, new panels will sit next to screen that fails soon after; then a full rescreen usually costs less over the next few years. We'll show you the difference on your own cage.
Why roof panels cost more
Wall panels are worked from the deck. Roof panels mean ladders or planks over the pool, more time, and more care not to bend the purlins they sit on. That's why the per-panel range is wide.
These prices are estimates from published Southwest Florida pricing, and most service calls carry a minimum. See the Fort Myers pool cage price guide.
Damage that isn't a screen problem
A panel that keeps popping out can point to a frame that has shifted, a bent beam or an anchor lifting from the deck. We check for that before replacing screen, because fixing the mesh alone won't keep it in. If it's structural, see storm and structural repair.
Questions
Can you match my existing screen?
Usually, yes. Standard charcoal 18×14 is the most common mesh. Newer screen looks a little darker than faded screen next to it at first.
Do you fix screen doors?
Yes: rehanging, new closers and latches, new screen in the door, or a replacement door.
Is there a minimum charge?
Small repair visits usually carry a minimum, because the trip and setup cost the same for one panel as for three. We'll tell you the price before we start.
