Pool Enclosure Rescreening in Jacksonville, FL

Rescreening replaces the mesh and spline in each panel of the aluminum frame that makes up the enclosure. The old screen and spline are pulled from the channel, the channel is cleaned out, and new mesh is set and secured with fresh spline, one panel at a time. The frame itself, posts, beams, and footers, is left as-is unless a separate structural issue is found during the work.

It can be done as a full rescreen covering every panel, or as a partial rescreen targeting only the sections showing damage. Many Jacksonville homeowners choose a partial rescreen first on the panels that failed after a storm, then plan a full rescreen later once the rest of the mesh reaches the same age.

Torn or ballooning panels, mesh that's turned brittle or discolored, and spline that's pulling loose from the frame are the most common indicators. Increased bugs getting into the pool area despite no obvious hole is often a sign of small deteriorated spots rather than one clear source.

Standard 18x14 fiberglass mesh is the typical choice and works well for general insect control. 20x20 no-see-um mesh has a tighter weave that helps in yards near marsh or standing water, and pet screen adds durability on lower panels where pets are active. Solar and privacy mesh reduce glare on the pool deck at the cost of some visibility through the screen.

Morning work is typical during the warmer months to avoid Jacksonville's regular afternoon storms, and windy days can push roof panel work later since large mesh sheets act like sails before they're secured. Enclosures near the beaches see faster fastener corrosion from salt air, which is worth mentioning when scheduling any future maintenance.
