The Complete Guide to Rescreening: When and Why to Replace Your Enclosure Screens
Restoring the Integrity of Your Florida Room
Your screen enclosure is the barrier that makes Florida outdoor living so enjoyable, keeping out insects and debris. But over time, that barrier weakens. While a small tear can be patched, there comes a point when a full rescreening is the smartest investment. Knowing when and why to opt for a full rescreen is key to maintaining the value, safety, and beauty of your outdoor space. At Right Way, we help homeowners restore their enclosures to perfect condition.
The Telltale Signs It's Time for a Full Rescreen
How do you know you've moved past the point of simple repairs? Look for widespread signs of wear. Is the screen material becoming brittle and flaking when you touch it? Do you see multiple small holes or "runs" in several panels? Is the color faded and chalky? Another clear indicator is sagging, which means the screen has lost its tension and is no longer secure. If you're seeing these issues across your enclosure, it’s time for a full rescreening.
Benefits Beyond Just Keeping Bugs Out
A full rescreen does more than just fix holes. It provides a major aesthetic upgrade, giving your entire patio a clean, sharp, and uniform look. It also restores the structural integrity of your enclosure; properly tensioned new screens help to reinforce the aluminum frame, which is especially important during Florida's storm season. Finally, new screens offer enhanced visibility, replacing the hazy, faded view of old material with a crystal-clear one.

Choosing the Right Screen Material for Your Needs
Modern screen technology offers a variety of options to suit your lifestyle. Standard 18x14 fiberglass mesh is a durable and popular choice for general insect control. For areas with tiny gnats or no-see-ums, a finer 20x20 mesh is more effective. Homes with pets can benefit from heavy-duty, pet-resistant screens on lower panels. There are even solar screens available that can help block UV rays and reduce heat on your patio.
The Professional Rescreening Process
A professional rescreening is a meticulous process. Our technicians start by carefully removing all the old screen and the worn-out rubber spline that holds it in place. The aluminum frame is then cleaned and inspected. Finally, the new screen is expertly rolled in, ensuring it has the perfect, drum-tight tension across every panel for a flawless finish and maximum durability. This professional touch guarantees a result that will last for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a full pool enclosure rescreening typically take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the enclosure, but an average-sized pool cage can typically be fully rescreened by a professional crew in one to two days.
Can I upgrade to a different type of screen on just a few panels?
Yes. It is very common to customize. For example, you can install a stronger, pet-resistant screen on the lower panels where pets might scratch, while using a standard or "no-see-um" screen for the upper and roof panels.
Is the rescreening process very loud or disruptive?
The process is generally not overly loud. The main sounds involve the rolling tools used to install the spline and occasionally a pressure washer for cleaning the frame. It is a relatively low-impact process for the homeowner.
