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.

Riverfront and older neighborhoods often have aging cages where fasteners and gutters need attention along with the screen. Ask for an inspection of the frame, not just the mesh.

What the job usually includes

  • Site measure and design (mansard, dome, gable or flat roof styles)
  • Engineered drawings sized for local wind-load requirements
  • Permit application and inspections
  • Footers or deck work, aluminum framing, screening and doors

How to choose a Fort Myers contractor

  1. Confirm the contractor's license on the Florida DBPR site
  2. Ask who pulls the permit and get the permit number
  3. Ask for the engineering and wind-speed design in writing
  4. Ask what the warranty covers: framing, screen, paint and labor separately
  5. Get HOA approval before signing if you are in an HOA
  6. Verify the license on the Florida DBPR site and ask for proof of insurance

Permits & licensing in Fort Myers

A Fort Myers mailing address does not always mean the City of Fort Myers. Homes inside city limits pull permits from the City of Fort Myers; many 'Fort Myers' addresses (for example in south Fort Myers, Iona or Gateway) are in unincorporated Lee County and go through Lee County Community Development instead. Ask your contractor which office will issue the permit.
