Lanai Screen Repair & Rescreening — New Port Richey & Tampa Bay

Lanai panel repairs and full rescreens — popped spline, sagging roofs, torn doors, and oxidized mesh fixed by Chris Westcott across Tampa Bay. Partial jobs welcome.

Your lanai is the room you use most

In Florida, the screened lanai is breakfast coffee, kids' homework, and evening wine — not a bonus patio. When mesh sags or a door won't seal, mosquitoes own the space. The Screen Team repairs and rescreens lanais throughout Tampa Bay: one torn panel, a full roof line, or every wall from frame to frame.

Chris Westcott does the spline work himself. You describe the lanai, send photos if you can, and get a scope that matches reality — not a forced full rescreen when three panels are the problem.

Lanai problems we fix every week

  • Door panel blows — hinge side and handle side are high-traffic failure points
  • Roof sag — weight and UV loosen horizontal runs
  • Tree punctures — oak and pine debris through roof panels
  • Oxidized mesh — gray, brittle screening that snaps when touched
  • Pop-outs — spline dried out and screening pulled free from the groove
Lanai door tip: If the door drags on the sill after mesh sagged, forcing it worsens the tear. Stop using it as a main exit until Chris re-tensions or replaces the door panel — usually a half-day fix.

Mesh choices for lanais

Standard fiberglass for most lanais. Pet-resistant on lower panels and doors where dogs wait to go out. No-see-um for homeowners near water who fight tiny biting insects standard mesh does not stop. Chris explains tradeoffs — visibility, airflow, and durability — without pushing the most expensive option.

Lanais tied to the rest of your exterior

Many lanai jobs pair with pool cage work on the same property, gutter repair above the lanai header, or window screens on the house wall that opens to the patio. Bundle questions when you call (727) 386-6562.

Our process

Lanai repair from first call to finished door

Scoped to the panels that actually failed.

1. Tell Chris how you use the lanai

Daily door traffic? Pets? Roof line visible sag? Usage drives mesh recommendations.

2. Panel-by-panel quote

Count the failed sections with you — not a blanket full rescreen unless mesh is shot everywhere.

3. Re-spline & align doors

New mesh rolled tight, doors latch clean, furniture path left clear.

Lanai work across Tampa Bay neighborhoods

Lanais in Largo, Clearwater, St. Pete bungalows, NPR pasco porches, and Tampa lanai additions all see different wear patterns. Chris routes Pinellas and Pasco weekly from New Port Richey.

Historic neighborhoods often have non-standard porch sizes — Chris builds custom-fit panels rather than forcing stock sizes that gap at corners.

Popular add-on: Rescreen the lanai and refresh window screens facing the patio in one trip before listing a home.
