Screen Enclosure FAQs

What is a screen enclosure?

A screen enclosure is a framed structure covered in mesh screening, typically built around pools, patios, and lanais. It creates a comfortable, bug-free outdoor living space while preserving natural light, airflow, and your view. Our enclosure designs are completely customizable based on your home’s layout and available space.

Enclosures are custom-designed for different parts of a home. Depending on your property, a project might involve:

  • Building a brand-new enclosure for a pool or patio.
  • Replacing worn, aging screen panels (rescreening).
  • Updating or reinforcing an existing aluminum frame.

Yes! If your frame is in solid condition, repairing individual pool screen panels or specific hardware is highly practical. However, if the structure has widespread storm damage, severe rust, or extensive deterioration, a full replacement is often the safer, more cost-effective choice.

Timelines vary based on the project’s complexity. A straightforward repair can be finished quickly, while large custom enclosures take more time. Weather, site access, and design size all play a role. We provide a precise, step-by-step schedule during your initial estimate.

With proper maintenance, a quality screen enclosure can last for years. However, Florida’s intense UV rays, high humidity, and heavy rain place added stress on outdoor structures. Regular cleaning and prompt attention to minor tears will significantly extend the life of both the mesh and the frame.

Several factors affect screen enclosure pricing in Florida. Estimated professional installation costs are around $12 to $25 per square foot, while standard pool or patio enclosures may range from $8,000 to $15,000. Size, roof style, materials, site conditions, permits, and custom features can change the final cost. We provide detailed, itemized estimates, no guesswork and no hidden fees.

Strong winds and flying debris can puncture mesh, while severe weather can occasionally bend frames or loosen attachment points. After a major storm, inspect your enclosure for loose panels, visible tears, or bent sections.

Routine maintenance prevents the buildup of pollen, algae, and dirt.

  • Gently wash the mesh and frame using appropriate cleaners.
  • Keep nearby trees and bushes trimmed away from the screens.
  • Check periodically for rusted hardware or loose spline.

Permit rules vary by Florida municipality, project type, and structural scope. A simple rescreening usually has different requirements than building a brand-new footprint. Homeowners should always verify with their local building department; our professional help guides you through this process.

Soffit & Fascia FAQs

What do soffit and fascia do for a home?

Soffit and fascia installation play a crucial role in protecting your home’s exterior. They’re not just functional elements; they serve as your home’s first line of defense against the elements, enhancing both its safety and curb appeal.

  • Soffit is the exposed siding underneath your roof’s overhang, providing crucial attic ventilation.
  • Fascia is the forward-facing board along the roofline that holds your gutters.

Together, they give your home a finished look while protecting your roof from moisture and pests.

Damage around your roofline can start small, so spotting early warning signs can help prevent more extensive exterior problems. Look for:

  • Peeling or Bubbling Paint: May indicate moisture getting beneath the surface.
  • Soft or Crumbling Wood: Can signal water damage or deterioration.
  • Water Stains and Discoloration: Dark marks may point to moisture intrusion.
  • Sagging or Loose Panels: Often suggest weakened materials or underlying damage.
  • Gutters Pulling Away: May indicate deterioration around the fascia where gutters are attached.
  • Pest Activity: Gaps or damaged areas can allow birds, insects, or other pests to enter.
  • Mold or Mildew: May develop where moisture remains around the soffit or fascia.

If you notice one or more of these signs, an on-site assessment can help determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate for your home.

Localized rot or minor damage can often be repaired. However, if there is widespread moisture failure or repeated damage, full replacement is necessary. Repairing only the cosmetic damage without fixing the underlying ventilation or moisture issue will just lead to repeated failures.

Absolutely! Deteriorated sections allow rainwater to bypass your exterior defenses, leading to rot. Furthermore, gaps in your soffit provide an easy entry point for insects, squirrels, and birds to nest in your attic.

You should inspect your soffit and fascia at least twice a year, ideally during spring and fall seasonal maintenance. It’s also wise to check your roofline after heavy Florida rain, hurricanes, or severe storms, especially if you notice water stains, discoloration, or other unexplained changes on your exterior walls. Regular inspections can help identify minor damage before it develops into a more costly repair.

Most soffit and fascia projects are typically completed within 1–2 days, although the timeframe can vary depending on the scope of work. We also provide emergency repairs for storm damage, pest intrusion, or active water leaks, with fast response when your home needs urgent attention.

Pressure Washing FAQs

What exterior areas can be pressure washed in Florida?

When using the correct techniques, pressure washing in Florida and its surroundings can safely restore:

  • Concrete driveways and walkways
  • Pool decks and patios
  • Brick and stone pavers
  • Fences and retaining walls

Yes, but the technique matters. We match the water pressure and cleaning solution directly to the surface material. Excessive pressure can etch concrete or damage paver sealant. We also take careful steps to protect your nearby screens, pool water, and landscaping.

Soft washing uses specialized, eco-friendly detergents and low-pressure water to safely clean delicate surfaces. It is the best choice for vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, and screen enclosures where high pressure could force water behind the siding or tear delicate mesh.

Yes! Florida’s humidity makes algae and mold growth inevitable. Professional exterior cleaning eliminates this organic buildup and lifts stubborn stains. For deep-set stains, we apply targeted treatments to ensure the surface is thoroughly sanitized.

Florida’s humid weather can encourage mould, mildew, and algae growth, so annual exterior cleaning is generally a good starting point. Driveways and pool decks may benefit from cleaning every 6–12 months, while roofs typically require soft washing every 1–2 years, depending on their condition and buildup. Regular exterior cleaning can also help maintain your home’s appearance and curb appeal.

Curb appeal is critical in real estate. Clean driveways, vibrant pool decks, and spotless siding instantly improve a home’s presentation and value, making it highly recommended before taking listing photos.
