Lanai Screen Repair in South Gate, FL
South Gate broke ground in 1955 on 1,240 acres of former citrus groves, and the mid-century ranches that replaced the trees are still the neighborhood: low-pitched roofs, terrazzo floors, and lanais off the back. Many cages here are original to the houses or nearly so. The aluminum in a cage that age is usually sound; the wear shows up in the mesh, the spline, and the screws.
Sarasota Lanai Screens connects homeowners in South Gate with a local screen contractor who works on that assumption. A pool cage rescreening resets mesh that has gone brittle across the enclosure, while a screen door repair handles the one part of a cage that gets touched every day.
Permits are a South Gate quirk. The neighborhood straddles the city and county line, so the address decides which office a permit goes to. A mesh-only rescreen usually needs none either way; structural frame work does, and you will know which before anything is scheduled. The oak-shaded streets earn their yellow pollen film February through May; rinse it off gently rather than pressure-washing it into the weave.

Services Available in South Gate
Pool Cage Rescreening
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.
Screen Panel Repair
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.
Lanai & Porch Rescreening
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.
No-See-Um Mesh Upgrades
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.
Pet-Resistant Screen
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.
Screen Door Repair & Replacement
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.
Window & Entryway Screens
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.
