Ranges as published by a local contractor: Back Bay Pools, 'Pool Screen Enclosure Cost in Cape Coral: 2026 Guide'. Your quote will vary with size, height, mesh, access and condition.

Canal-front cages pick up salt air and moisture off the water. Ask whether the quote replaces corroded screws and hardware, not just the screen.
