Fort Myers Elite Patio Covers provides professional lanai rescreening & screen repair in Fort Myers, FL for residential and commercial properties across Southwest Florida. Most of what we do is this. Cages and lanais across Lee County get rescreened on a cycle, and the real question is almost never whether to do it. It is whether to do the two torn panels or take the whole thing at once.
The honest test is age and colour. If the intact panels still hold tension and the mesh has not gone chalky, patching two bays is the right money. Once you are replacing the fourth panel inside two years, you are paying twice for something that costs less as one visit, one setup and one trip charge.
Mesh gets specified by elevation rather than by the whole cage. Screens facing the canal, the river or the mangrove line take 20x20, because no-see-ums pass 18x14 without slowing down. The street side and the roof panels can stay 18x14, which lets more air through and costs less. Pet mesh goes low on the door wall where the dog pushes.
Spline is where cheap work shows itself. Undersized spline in a worn groove holds until the first real blow, and then the panel lets go along the top rail instead of tearing. We size spline to the groove as we find it, not to what the extrusion was originally cut for, and we roll to tension rather than to a mark on the mesh.
A rescreen is a free inspection of the frame, so we report what turns up. Fasteners weeping rust, a corner that has opened, a chair rail nobody ever fitted where the mower throws stones. Since the rebuilding wave that followed 2022 there are plenty of mixed-age cages out here, new bays spliced onto old frames, and the splice is usually where the movement is.
A lot of this happens while owners are away. The work needs nobody in the house, so June through October is our best window and our least crowded. You get photographs of every panel before and after, a written note of anything we would not have left as we found it, and no surprises in November.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — powder-coated extruded aluminum framing, 20x20 no-see-um screen mesh, 18x14 standard insect screening, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, engineered footings and anchor embedment, hurricane uplift straps and tie-down connections — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Myers and nearby communities including Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Bonita Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do lanai rescreening & screen repair
The difference between lanai rescreening & screen repair that lasts and lanai rescreening & screen repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with powder-coated extruded aluminum framing, 20x20 no-see-um screen mesh, 18x14 standard insect screening, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Myers job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in Southwest Florida means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
