At T&J Painting, we handle pool, lanai, and patio screen repairs throughout the Tampa Bay area with a focus on detail, quality, and making your outdoor space fully usable again. From torn mesh to loose panels and rusted spline, we restore screened enclosures so they look good and work the way they should: keeping the bugs out and letting the breeze in.
Our local team understands Florida’s harsh climate and brings the right tools, materials, and care to every job.
Pool screen damage shows up faster than most people expect, especially in Tampa’s hot, humid climate. Mesh panels can sag, rip, or pull loose from the aluminum frame after a few years of wear or after a severe afternoon storm rolls through. A torn screen does more than look rough; it lets in mosquitoes, debris, pollen, and leaves, turning your clean pool area into a daily maintenance chore.
Our pool cage screen repair services fix those issues instantly. We use premium, heavy-duty mesh and fresh spline, installed tight and even across the enclosure. We carefully match your existing mesh type so your pool stays protected without changing the uniform look of your outdoor space.
Your lanai should be a relaxing space to sit, eat, or unwind without swatting away insects. But when the screen panels start showing damage from strong winds, severe sun fading, or simply age, it is hard to enjoy it. Over time, UV rays dry out screen material, causing it to turn brittle and break apart, especially in the corners and near door frames.
We handle lanai screen repair with the goal of restoring comfort and airflow. Each panel is checked for damage and replaced cleanly, without cutting corners. We can also adjust tension, replace damaged screen doors, and update rusted fasteners.
Patio screens deal with a brutal mix of Florida sun, salty coastal air, and sudden weather changes. It is no surprise they wear down quickly. You might notice your screen door not closing properly or sections of the screen coming completely loose from the frame.
Our patio screen repair service covers everything from patching single standard panels to full enclosure rescreening. We can tighten loose spline or install stronger, specialty mesh options if your patio is exposed to high winds, golf balls, or active pets.
Inspection and Problem Spotting: We begin with a full inspection of your screen enclosure. We check for torn mesh, sagging panels, heavy sun damage, or mesh that has pulled away from the frame tracks.
Removing Damaged Sections: Once we identify the broken parts, we carefully remove the worn materials. We also clean the aluminum frame tracks to get rid of dirt, mildew, or algae buildup that could prevent the new screen from fitting tightly.
Installing the New Mesh: We install new, premium mesh tailored to your space. Depending on your needs, this could be standard fiberglass screen, heavy-duty privacy screen, or specialized pet-resistant mesh. We roll in new spline, tighten the corners, and adjust the tension so the screen sits smooth and firm like a drum.
Final Cleanup: After the repair is finished, we tidy up the area and remove all the old mesh and leftover spline. Your enclosure is left clean, secure, and ready for use.

In Florida's intense heat and humidity, standard fiberglass screens usually last around 7 to 10 years. If your enclosure is older or you are seeing widespread sagging, silvering, or brittle mesh, it is likely time for a full rescreening to protect your outdoor space.
You can absolutely replace just the damaged panels. If most of your screens are in good shape and still have their tension, a targeted single-panel repair is the most cost-effective option. However, if several panels are worn or the mesh is generally brittle from age, a full rescreen might be the better long-term investment.
We use durable, professional-grade materials that fit your specific lifestyle. This includes standard Phifer fiberglass mesh for maximum airflow, heavy-duty pet-resistant screen (pet screen) to stop claw tears, or privacy screen (Florida Glass) for the lower panels of your enclosure to keep out grass clippings and dirt.
Most single-panel repairs or small targeted jobs can be completed in just a couple of hours. Larger projects, like a full lanai or two-story pool cage rescreen, may take one to two full days. We will give you a clear, exact timeline before we ever start working.
Screens sag due to Florida's strong winds, heavy rain buildup, or constant sun exposure that bakes and weakens the fiberglass mesh over time. Pet claws, patio furniture, or falling tree branches can also cause sudden rips or knock the spline loose from the tracks.
