Inland cages get less salt spray, so frames often last longer, but sun and summer storms still break down mesh. Many jobs here are straightforward rescreens and panel repairs.
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 Lehigh Acres contractor
- Ask which mesh brand and type they will use, and get it in writing
- Ask if the price includes the screen door, kick-plate panels and any super-gutter section
- Ask whether they replace corroded screws or only the screen
- Get the start date and how many days the cage will be open
- Verify the license on the Florida DBPR site and ask for proof of insurance
