Lanai Screen Repair
Lanai and patio screen work — repair and rescreening for covered outdoor living spaces and non-pool enclosures.
Typical project range: $200 - $1,200
A lanai is one of the most-used spaces in a Florida home — a covered, screened outdoor living area that functions as an extension of your indoor space. Whether you use yours for dining, entertaining, relaxing, or just enjoying Central Florida’s weather without the bugs, keeping the screen in good condition is essential.
Lanai vs. pool cage
The terms get used interchangeably in Florida, but there’s a difference:
- Pool cage — An open screen enclosure (screen roof and walls) built over a pool area
- Lanai — A covered patio with a solid roof and screen walls, used as outdoor living space
Lanai screens take slightly less UV abuse than pool cage screens (the solid roof provides shade) but still face wind, rain, humidity, and insect damage. Most lanai screen repairs involve the wall panels and door.
Common lanai screen issues
- Torn wall panels from wind, pets, or impact
- Screen door malfunction — stuck rollers, failed closers, torn mesh
- Bottom rail damage — where the screen meets the deck or slab, moisture and debris cause corrosion
- Faded or sagging mesh — UV degradation even in partially shaded conditions
- Pet damage — dogs and cats scratching or pushing through wall panels

Why lanai screens matter
In Central Florida, an unscreened outdoor space is barely usable from May through October. Mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and lovebugs make it miserable. A properly screened lanai extends your livable square footage and is one of the highest-ROI home improvements in Florida real estate.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a lanai?
- In Florida, a lanai (pronounced luh-NYE) is a covered, screened patio or outdoor living space. It can be attached to the house or freestanding. Unlike a pool cage, a lanai typically has a solid roof (not screened) and screen walls.
- Do you repair lanai screens that aren't attached to a pool?
- Yes. We repair and rescreen all types of screened enclosures — pool cages, lanais, screen rooms, front entry screens, and freestanding patio enclosures.
- Can you convert my open patio into a screened lanai?
- If you have an existing covered patio with a solid roof, we can add screen walls to convert it into a lanai. This typically costs $1,500-$4,000 depending on the size and whether framing needs to be added.
