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

  • 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 Fort Myers 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

Permits & licensing in 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.
