Full Pool Cage Rescreening in Jacksonville, FL

A full pool cage rescreen means removing the old mesh and spline from every panel on the structure, roof sections and wall sections alike, and installing new mesh throughout. It's done in one continuous visit rather than piecemeal over time, which keeps labor and equipment setup efficient since ladders, lifts, and crew time are already mobilized for the job.

The result is uniform mesh age and appearance across the entire cage, which also means future maintenance is more predictable since all the screen wears at roughly the same rate going forward.

Age is the most common driver - mesh installed a decade or more ago has typically absorbed enough UV exposure that it's brittle throughout, even on panels that haven't visibly torn. Storm damage after a significant weather event can also affect enough panels at once that a full rescreen makes more sense than patching each one separately.

Work generally starts with the roof panels, since any debris or old mesh scraps that fall during that stage land on areas that haven't been finished yet. Each panel gets old spline and screen stripped out, the channel cleaned, new mesh set and pulled taut, and fresh spline rolled in to secure it before trimming. Wall panels and door panels are finished last, with door panels getting extra attention so the spline allows smooth operation without gaps.

Full rescreens are typically priced per panel or by total square footage, and while the overall job cost is higher than a partial rescreen simply because more panels are involved, the cost per panel is often lower than doing the same panels individually over multiple visits. Roof panels cost more per panel than wall panels due to access requirements, and mesh upgrades like no-see-um or pet screen add cost across the whole job when applied to every panel. An on-site walkthrough is the best way to get an accurate number for a specific cage.
