Patio & Front-Entry Screen Rescreen in Brandon & Riverview, FL
Rescreen a back patio, side patio, or front entry, often a same-day job, with USA-made Phifer screen.
A patio or front-entry rescreen is one of the quickest ways to make a tired outdoor space look new again. When the screen has torn, sagged, or silvered on a back patio, a side patio, or a screened front entry, we strip it, clean the frame, and reinstall fresh USA-made Phifer screen, often in a single day. It is a small job that makes a big difference in how the front or back of your home looks and feels.
Most patio rescreens start around $1,000, with the size of the screened area the main driver.
Because a patio or front entry is smaller than a full lanai or pool cage, it is one of the most affordable and fastest projects we do, and one of the most satisfying. A clean, tight screen changes how the front or back of the house looks the moment it goes up. We rescreen patios no matter who built them, always with USA-made Phifer screen and a cleaned frame.

Back Patio, Front Entry, or Side Patio: Three Rescreens We Do
Patio screening comes in three flavors, and each has its own reason people call.
The back patio
The most popular of the three. A screened back patio is where people actually live outdoors, and the screen takes the most wear from kids, pets, and weather. A rescreen brings it back to a clean, bug-free space, usually in a single day.
The front entry
A screened front entry is smaller but does real work: it adds a layer of security, keeps pests out of the doorway, and makes a safer, less obvious spot for package deliveries. Front entries can involve custom work around tall, curved, or arched openings and decorative columns.
The side or utility patio
A side or utility patio rescreen is less common and usually comes up with age, storm damage, or a torn panel. It is the same quick, clean rescreen, sized to a smaller space.
What we see across Brandon, Seffner & Riverview
Back-patio rescreens are the everyday job across Brandon, Riverview, and Valrico, with homeowners tired of a torn or silvered screen on the space they use most. Front-entry screens are smaller, and we see them most on the older Brandon and Seffner homes, where the entry is larger or arched, and the goal is as much security and package protection as bug control. Because these are smaller areas, a patio rescreen is often a same-day job.

Loves her screened front-door entry, and got a same-day fix on a sticky handle.
“We love our front-door lanai! The guys did a great job, friendly and fast. My door handle was a little tricky, and after a couple weeks they came the same day and fixed it!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our screen services.
It starts around $1,000, with the size of the screened area the main driver. A $100 minimum applies, and your exact number comes with a free estimate.
Often, yes. Because patios and front entries are smaller areas, many rescreens can be completed in a single day once scheduled.
Yes. A screened front entry adds security and keeps pests out of the doorway. Tall, curved, or arched entries with decorative columns take custom work, which we handle.
A lanai is usually the larger covered space off the back of the home; a patio rescreen covers a back, side, or front-entry screened area, which tends to be smaller and quicker. Both use the same USA-made Phifer screen.
Yes, every time. We pressure-wash the aluminum before the new screen goes on so the whole patio looks new.
Standard 18/14 charcoal is the default and nearly invisible from inside. Near a pond or the water, 20/20 No-See-Um is worth the small upcharge to stop the tiny gnats.
Yes, and it is the ideal time. A 16-inch kickplate runs about $25 per linear foot, and a large Magnador pet door about $250 to $300.
Yes, if the surrounding screen is still good. See our screen and door repair page. If several panels are failing, a full rescreen is usually the better value.
Yes. We install hinged and double screen doors and replace worn handles and hardware. We do not install sliding screen doors, which jam in Florida humidity and debris.
Standard 18/14 charcoal is the default and looks the same from inside as most existing screens, so a rescreened patio blends with your lanai or pool cage. If you have a specialty screen elsewhere, we can match it.
Yes, we have handled commercial screen projects, including balcony and patio screening. Tell us about the space, and we will scope it.
If one panel has a fresh tear and the rest is good, a repair is fine. If the screen tears at the spline groove or has silvered across the patio, a full rescreen is the better value. We will tell you honestly at the estimate.
Sun is the main culprit; it makes the mesh brittle until it tears at the spline groove, and Florida storms, pets, and everyday use finish the job. A silvered, sagging patio screen has simply reached the end of its life.
