Pinecraft is a few compact blocks of small homes along Bahia Vista Street and Beneva Road, the winter home of Sarasota's Amish and Mennonite community. Houses sit close together, bicycles are the usual way around, and most homes have a screened porch that does the work a living room does elsewhere. Those porches see heavy use from November to April and sit closed up through the summer, which is its own kind of wear.
Sarasota Lanai Screens connects homeowners in Pinecraft with a local screen contractor who is comfortable with small, careful jobs. Lanai and porch rescreening is the common one, screen door repair keeps the porch door from slamming behind every visitor, and window and entryway screens can be handled in the same visit.
Pinecraft permits through Sarasota County. A mesh-only rescreen usually needs none; structural work does. Timing matters more here than in most neighborhoods: work done in the quiet months means the porch is ready when the community returns for the season.
Pinecraft homeowners can call (941) 883-9241 for a FREE, no obligation written estimate.
Patch a few panels or redo the whole cage? When the mesh has gone brittle and chalky all over, a full rescreen resets the clock. Walls, roof, or the whole enclosure, new spline throughout.
One torn panel, a blown spline, a sagging roof section. Single panels and small sets, mesh matched to the existing weave so the repair disappears.
The screened porches and under-truss lanais of South Gate, Gulf Gate, and Arlington Park, rescreened with doors and kick plates renewed at the same visit.
20/20 tight-weave screen for bayfront and creek-side lanais where standard 18/14 lets biting midges through. Slightly less breeze, a lot more evenings outside.
Heavy vinyl-coated mesh on the lower panels and doors where claws live, with standard screen above so the lanai keeps its view and airflow.
Doors that drag, slam, or will not latch. Hinges, closers, latches, kick plates, new mesh, or a new door hung square when the old one is past adjusting.
Removable window screens re-meshed on the bench, entry-door and sliding-door screens rebuilt. The non-cage screen work for homes with and without enclosures.
