Ranges as published by a local contractor: Back Bay Pools, 'Pool Rescreen Cost in Cape Coral for 2026'. 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.

What the job usually includes

  • Removing old screen and spline from every panel
  • Installing new mesh (standard fiberglass, finer no-see-um, heavier pet-resistant, or solar/privacy mesh)
  • Replacing spline and checking door closers and hardware
  • Cleanup and haul-away of old screen

How to choose a Cape Coral contractor

  1. Ask which mesh brand and type they will use, and get it in writing
  2. Ask if the price includes the screen door, kick-plate panels and any super-gutter section
  3. Ask whether they replace corroded screws or only the screen
  4. Get the start date and how many days the cage will be open
  5. Verify the license on the Florida DBPR site and ask for proof of insurance
