Frequently Asked Questions

Full rescreening replaces all screen panels with new Phifer mesh materials, while individual panel repair only fixes specific damaged sections. Rescreening provides uniform appearance and enhanced durability across the entire enclosure. At Pool-Screen-Repairs, we recommend full rescreening when multiple panels show wear or fading.

Kickplates protect the lower portion of screen enclosures from damage caused by pets and lawn equipment while improving privacy. They're installed at the base of the enclosure and prevent costly screen tears. This protective barrier significantly extends the life of your screening investment.

Yes, bent components, corrosion, and storm damage to aluminum frames can be structurally repaired and reinforced. Pool-Screen-Repairs addresses hurricane and severe weather damage common in Bonita Springs, FL. Emergency repair services restore both safety and functionality to compromised enclosure structures.

Specialized super screens designed to withstand pet damage come with 10-year warranty coverage. These screens feature enhanced durability that resists clawing and jumping from dogs and cats. They're significantly stronger than standard mesh while maintaining visibility and airflow.

Preventative maintenance including inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs should occur at least annually. In Southwest Florida's climate with storms and humidity, biannual maintenance helps catch issues early. Regular service extends enclosure life and prevents small problems from becoming costly repairs.

Constant UV exposure from Florida's intense sunlight breaks down screen material fibers, causing fading and brittleness. Salt air, humidity, and airborne chemicals also accelerate deterioration. High-quality Phifer mesh materials resist fading longer than standard screening products.

Yes, lanai screen enclosures effectively block insects, pollen, and airborne debris while maintaining airflow and visibility. The fine mesh prevents mosquitoes and other pests from entering your outdoor living space. This protection enhances comfort during Florida's bug season without sacrificing open-air enjoyment.

Delaying repairs of small tears or loose fasteners allows damage to spread rapidly, especially during storms. Minor issues quickly escalate into structural problems requiring full panel or frame replacement. At Pool-Screen-Repairs, we recommend addressing damage immediately to minimize repair costs.

Corroded aluminum components are repaired through surface treatment, reinforcement, or replacement of severely damaged sections. Southwest Florida's coastal environment accelerates aluminum oxidation. Structural repairs restore frame integrity and prevent progressive deterioration that compromises the entire enclosure.

Yes, loose fasteners can be re-secured or replaced to restore screen tension without full rescreening. This repair addresses sagging panels and improves appearance immediately. Pool-Screen-Repairs evaluates whether fastener repair or panel replacement provides the best long-term value.

High winds create extreme pressure differentials that tear screens and bend aluminum framing components. Flying debris punctures panels and impacts structural integrity. Bonita Springs experiences severe tropical weather that makes storm damage repair one of the most common service needs for pool enclosures.

Phifer mesh offers superior durability, UV resistance, and longevity compared to generic screening materials. It maintains clarity and tension longer in Florida's harsh climate. At Pool-Screen-Repairs, we use Phifer mesh for full rescreening projects to ensure quality and customer satisfaction.
