Porch Rescreening & Florida Screen Panels
Torn, sagging or faded porch mesh can be replaced while serviceable framing stays in place. We rescreen individual openings or a whole porch, work with spline-track and staple-and-trim systems, and fit heavy-duty Florida screen panels. Glass and window enclosures are a separate option we assess for your porch.
- New mesh
- Keep serviceable framing

What to look for
When your porch needs rescreening
Porch screens take more weather than any window screen. Rescreen when you see:
Tears and holes
Sagging or bowing screen
Faded, brittle mesh
Gaps at the edges
Insects getting in
You don't have to redo the whole porch. We can repair one or two damaged openings or rescreen every panel so they all match.
Durable screen panels
Florida screen panels
Florida panels are heavy-duty custom screen panels fitted to porch openings. They provide durable insect screening and airflow. They are screen panels, not weather windows or an insulated enclosure.

Your options
Glass and windows for extended porch use
For a porch you want to use for more of the year, we can assess a separate glass and window enclosure. Options can include fixed picture glass below, with casement, sliding or double-hung windows above. The suitable combination depends on the existing structure, opening sizes and layout. This is a separate project from Florida screen panels; it does not automatically create a heated or insulated year-round room.
Your options
Screen-Eze and Screen Tight systems
We work with Screen-Eze and Screen Tight porch screening systems. We assess the caps and tracks before rescreening, and include any replacement components in the estimate.
Read our spring screen and glass checklist for a practical porch inspection list.
Your options
Rescreen or replace porch panels?
Rescreen when the framing and panel frames are straight and solid. Only the mesh changes, and it costs far less.
Replace the panel when a removable screen panel's frame is bent, cracked or missing. New panels are manufactured to the exact size of the opening.
Consider glass and windows separately when you want to extend porch use beyond screening. We assess the structure and layout before recommending an enclosure.

You can use pet-resistant mesh on lower panels and doors, with a different mesh above. We confirm the choice for your frame and opening. Compare the options in our screen options.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rescreen a porch?
The estimate depends on the number and size of openings, chosen mesh, trim and attachment-system condition, access and scaffolding. We provide a free, itemized estimate after assessing the porch.
How long does porch rescreening take?
A full porch rescreen typically takes 1–2 days on site. The timing depends on porch size, complexity, access and scaffolding needs.
Should I repair a few panels or rescreen the whole porch?
Repair individual panels when only a few are damaged and the rest are in good shape. Rescreen the whole porch when the mesh is old and faded, so every opening matches.
What are Florida screen panels?
Florida panels are heavy-duty custom screen panels fitted to porch openings. They provide durable insect screening and airflow. They are screen panels, not weather windows or an insulated enclosure.
What is a three-season porch?
A porch with suitable glass and windows can offer more seasonal use than screening alone. We assess the structure and layout; it is not automatically an insulated or heated year-round room.
Can I turn my screened porch into a three-season room?
For a porch you want to use for more of the year, we can assess a separate glass and window enclosure. Options can include fixed picture glass below, with casement, sliding or double-hung windows above. The suitable combination depends on the existing structure, opening sizes and layout. This is a separate project from Florida screen panels; it does not automatically create a heated or insulated year-round room.
Do you have to rebuild a porch to rescreen it?
Usually the serviceable framing stays. We assess posts, rails, trim and the attachment system, and identify damaged components before work starts. Trim may be reused or replaced depending on its condition.
Do you repair porch screen doors?
We assess the existing frame for rescreening. If a new swing screen door is needed, our preferred stocked PCA models are A-100, A-110 and A-500 in white. Other choices can be discussed.
