Storm & Hurricane Screen Repair — Tampa Bay, FL
Torn pool cage panels, ripped lanai roofs, and debris punctures — Chris Westcott patches what failed and inspects what held.
After the storm: patch first, rescreen only when needed
Florida afternoon storms and hurricane bands do the same thing to screened enclosures: they find the weakest horizontal panel on the roof and tear it open. Homeowners across Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough call The Screen Team when mesh is flapping, spline pulled out, or oak limbs punched holes through the lanai. Chris Westcott assesses whether you need a few replacement panels or a full rescreen — and tells you the difference before booking.

What storm damage looks like on Tampa Bay cages
- Roof horizontals shredded — wind lifts the top row and cascades tears downslope
- Tree debris punctures — single panels with clean holes from falling limbs
- Door spline blown out — lanai entries that no longer seal
- Bent corner posts — structural issue separate from mesh; Chris flags it before quoting mesh only
- Loose gutter overflow — water weight pulling lanai headers; see gutter repair
Storm repair vs full rescreen
If the aluminum frame is plumb and only mesh failed, partial panel replacement often runs $175–$750 depending on count, height, and access. When oxidation is uniform and multiple walls are brittle, a full rescreen may cost less per year of life than chasing individual tears every storm season. Chris walks you through that math on the phone.
