On a barrier island, salt air is constant and wind exposure is high. It is worth asking about stainless or coated fasteners, corrosion-resistant hardware and how the bid accounts for wind-load engineering.
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 Sanibel 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
