What storm repair costs

Storm repair pricing depends entirely on the damage, so there is no reliable published range. Get a written, itemized scope from a licensed contractor and share it with your insurer.

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

  • Damage assessment and photos for your insurance claim
  • Making the structure safe (removing hanging members)
  • Replacing bent or broken framing and anchors
  • Rescreening and, for total losses, permitted rebuilds

How to choose a Cape Coral contractor

  1. Check the license on the Florida DBPR site; unlicensed post-storm crews are a known problem
  2. Never pay the full amount up front
  3. Ask who pulls the permit for structural repairs
  4. Get a written scope you can share with your insurer
  5. Verify the license on the Florida DBPR site and ask for proof of insurance
