Storm Damage Repair

Central Florida's summer thunderstorms and tropical systems can blow out screen panels, bend lighter frame members and throw debris into a pool cage or screen enclosure in a matter of minutes. After a storm, the first priority is safety: stay out from under any section of the enclosure that looks bent, loose or unstable, keep children and pets away from the area, and avoid touching any part of the cage that may have come into contact with downed power lines.

Signs of storm damage worth inspecting include screen panels torn loose from the spline channel, bent or kinked frame members, a roof panel that sags or flaps in the wind, doors that no longer close because the frame around them has shifted, and debris lodged in the structure. Even damage that looks minor from the ground, such as a single loose panel, can indicate the frame underneath has moved and needs a closer look.

When you contact us after a storm, describe what you can see over the phone or in your message, and send wide photos and close-ups if it is safe to take them from a distance. We then visit to inspect the screen, the aluminum frame and the connections between frame members, checking for anything that is not obvious from a visual scan, such as a fastener that has sheared or a joint that has loosened without a visible bend.

Storm damage repair often involves several kinds of work at once on a single enclosure: rescreening blown-out panels, replacing bent or damaged frame sections, re-securing connections that have worked loose, and reattaching or realigning doors. We separate the scope into clear categories on the written estimate, screen work versus frame work versus hardware, so you understand exactly what happened and what it will take to restore the enclosure.

Materials used in storm repairs match what is appropriate for the rest of your enclosure, including mesh weight suited to your exposure and frame components sized to match the existing structure. Where a full match is not available, we explain the closest option before starting any work, so there are no surprises when the repair is complete.

Florida's storm season runs for a large part of the year, and even outside of named tropical systems, daily thunderstorm activity through summer can cause repeated minor damage that accumulates until a panel finally gives way. Scheduling an inspection soon after any storm, even if the damage looks small, helps catch frame issues early before the next system puts more stress on an already-weakened structure.

On the day we come out, a technician walks the full perimeter and roof of the enclosure, not just the area you reported, since storm damage often affects more than one section. You receive a written estimate on site covering the full scope before any repair work begins, and estimates are free after the on-site inspection. If you are working with your insurance company, having a clear written scope and photos from the visit gives you a solid record to submit along with your claim.

We respond to storm damage calls and texts around the clock, and we reply to online requests within one business day, because we know an open enclosure after a storm means more exposure to insects, debris and further weather. We serve homeowners across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake and Volusia counties and prioritize getting enclosures weathertight again as quickly as scheduling allows.
