Common reasons panels fail
- Pets pushing through or scratching at low panels
- Toys, balls and patio furniture
- Branches, palm fronds and storm debris
- Constant wear beside doors
- Wildlife trying to get in or out
- Old spline letting screen pull loose from the channel
What a panel repair involves
Each damaged panel gets new screen, cut and tensioned to fit, and new spline pressed into the channel. We also check the neighboring panels and the frame around them, because a bent member, a sharp screw head or failing spline nearby can be the reason the panel tore.
Adhesive patches can cover a pinhole, but on an enclosure panel, replacing the screen in that panel gives a cleaner, tighter result.
Will new panels match?
New screen is darker and crisper than screen that has weathered for years, so repaired panels can stand out at first, especially in the middle of a wall. If appearance matters, consider doing a full wall or rescreening the whole enclosure.
Roof panels and safety
Upgrading while you repair
- Tear-resistant screen on low panels where pets or kids play
- A taller kick plate on walls that take a beating
- A push bar or guard on the screen door
- Door hardware that closes and latches reliably (doors and hardware)
Photos that help us scope the repair
- Each damaged wall from a few steps back, so we can count panels
- A close-up of each damaged panel
- The screen door, if it’s nearby or also giving trouble
- Anything that looks bent, loose or rusty
Photos let us understand the scope; pricing is confirmed once we’ve seen the panels and the frame around them.
