Pool cage rescreening for homeowners in Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Pace, Milton, and Navarre. We repair and rescreen existing screen enclosures -- we don't build new enclosures or do structural work.
This is screen enclosure repair for existing pool cages. We replace torn or worn screen panels and the hardware that holds them, without touching the structural frame.
We check every panel on the cage, note which ones need replacing, and check hardware like closers and latches.
We go over mesh options for your panels based on what you need and what's already on the cage.
Torn or worn screens are pulled from the frame track without disturbing the aluminum structure, and the old material is hauled away.
New screen and spline are installed panel by panel, pulled tight for a clean, even finish.
We walk the enclosure with you to check every new panel, confirm doors and hardware work smoothly, and clean up any scraps or debris before we leave.
Screens don't fail all at once. If you're seeing more than one of these, it's usually time for a rescreen instead of a spot patch.
Not every cage needs every panel replaced at once. If only a few panels are torn and the rest of the mesh is still tight and not faded, a partial rescreen on just those panels keeps the cost down.
If most of the cage is showing wear at the same time, which is common since it was all installed at once and takes the same sun and weather, a full rescreen gets every panel matching again and avoids repeat trips as more panels fail over the next year or two.
We'll look at the whole cage during your quote and tell you honestly which one fits your situation.
This service covers screen enclosure repair and pool enclosure repair on the screens and hardware of a cage that's already standing. We don't build new pool enclosures and we don't do structural frame work.
If your cage needs that kind of work, we'll tell you honestly instead of taking on a job outside what we do.
Every rescreen uses standard fiberglass unless you want an upgrade. Here's what each option actually does, straight from the manufacturer:
The most common insect screen for pool cages and porches. It gives good airflow and visibility at the lowest cost.
A tighter weave that keeps out no-see-ums, gnats, and sand flies, common in coastal and marshy areas like ours. Vinyl-coated fiberglass, so it won't rust or corrode. Source: Phifer
Phifer rates PetScreen 7 times stronger than standard insect screening. Built for pets and high-traffic areas; works best on screen doors and lower panels. Source: Phifer
Phifer says SunTex 80/90 blocks 80 to 90% of the sun's heat and glare while still working as a heavy-duty, pet-resistant insect screen. Best for west-facing porches and cages. Source: Phifer
Stops insects and blocks up to 70% of the sun's heat while keeping better visibility than the heavier solar screens -- a middle option between standard mesh and SunTex. Source: Phifer
Also called "Florida Glass." Vinyl-laminated 18x14 fiberglass that looks like obscured glass -- lets light in without a clear view through. Wall panels only, not roofs. Source: Wholesale Screens & Glass
Phifer rates these at 95%, 97%, and 99% UV blockage, with daytime privacy, pet/mildew/fade resistance, and a 10-year exterior warranty. Good for porches facing a neighbor or a road. Source: Phifer
Doors get the most wear of any panel. See our door hardware options on our screen door replacement page.
Pool cage screens are one of the first things storm winds tear loose, since a torn panel is designed to let wind through rather than push against the frame. After a storm, we repair torn or missing panels and re-secure any screen or spline that pulled loose.
This is screen and spline repair, not structural aluminum work. If a storm bent or damaged the cage's aluminum frame itself, that's outside what we do, and we'll tell you so you can get it looked at separately before we rescreen it.
Most single pool cages take one to two days, depending on the number of panels, whether a door needs replacing too, and how the cage is accessed. A small partial rescreen on just a few panels can sometimes be done in a few hours.
Large cages, two-story cages, or cages with limited access from just one side of the yard take longer. We'll give you a time estimate specific to your cage when we quote the job.
If your screens are just dirty rather than torn, you likely want pool cage cleaning instead, which washes the existing screens and frame rather than replacing them. We'll point you to the right one if you're not sure which applies to your cage.

“White Exterior Co. did a great job repairing our pool enclosure. We had a few loose and rusted screws and some sagging screens, and they fixed everything quickly. They showed up on time, explained what needed to be done, and the price was fair. The enclosure feels solid again and looks much better. I'd definitely recommend them if you need pool cage repairs.”

“Top Notch Work and Professionalism!! We had Auston replace all of our screen enclosure screens, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the very start, communication was seamless, he scheduled us quickly and showed up exactly when he said he would. Auston was professional, courteous, and took great pride in his work. The new screens look amazing and completely refreshed our patio area. If you want quality work done right, call Auston!”

We couldn't be happier & he will be our go-to screen repair company going forward. You can't go wrong & I give him my 100% endorsement.”
Most single pool cages take one to two days depending on the number of panels and whether hardware needs replacing too.
Screens typically last 8 to 12 years in our climate before UV exposure and storms cause enough wear to need full replacement.
Yes, we can rescreen just the torn panels instead of the entire enclosure if the rest of the screen is still in good shape.
We install standard 18x14 fiberglass screen plus several upgraded Phifer meshes: 20x20 No-See-Um, PetScreen, SunTex 80/90 and SunScreen solar screens, and Glas-Shield or SunTex 95/97/99 for privacy. See the mesh options section above for what each one does best.
