Screen Enclosures & Lanai Rescreens in Tampa, FL
Screen repair, rescreens, and enclosures for South Tampa and the historic neighborhoods, from a state-licensed contractor based in nearby Brandon.
We cover the Tampa side of our service area too, focused on South Tampa and the historic neighborhoods closest to us. If you are in Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, the Bayshore area, Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights, or Temple Terrace, we screen lanais, rescreen pool cages, and repair torn panels and failing doors, all with USA-made Phifer screen.
Tampa's older neighborhoods bring their own screen challenges: historic bungalows with custom or arched openings, waterfront homes near the bay that take a beating from salt air, and established pool cages that have been through a few Florida summers. We handle all of it. Family-owned and state-licensed (Florida Specialty Structure Contractor SCC131152382), screen experts in the Brandon area since 1986, 4.7★ across 245+ Google reviews, and USA-made Phifer screen on every job.
Because we are based just across the bridges in Brandon, reaching South Tampa is a short trip for us, which keeps our pricing competitive against the bigger Tampa outfits. And since so many of these homes are decades old, we spend as much time on thoughtful repairs, a new door here, a re-tensioned panel there, as we do on full rescreens.

Neighborhoods & Communities We Cover in Tampa
We work across South Tampa and the historic neighborhoods closest to us, not every corner of the city. Here are the areas we are in most often, and what we typically run into in each.
| Community/area | What we typically see |
|---|---|
| Hyde Park & Palma Ceia | Historic bungalows; front-entry and patio screens, often with taller or arched openings that take custom work. |
| Bayshore & Sunset Park | Waterfront homes where salt air ages screen and hardware faster; no-see-um and picture-window panels are popular. |
| Seminole Heights & Tampa Heights | Historic bungalow districts; smaller custom screen jobs and front-porch screening. |
| Temple Terrace (adjacent city) | Established mid-century homes with older pool cages due for a full rescreen and a structural check. |
Three Kinds of Tampa Screen Enclosures
The parts of Tampa we serve fall into three types, each calling for a slightly different approach.
Historic bungalow districts
What to expect:
Older homes in Hyde Park, Seminole Heights, and Tampa Heights with character openings, taller doors, arches, and decorative columns.
Typical work:
Custom front-entry and patio screening built to fit the opening, plus door and single-panel repairs that respect the home's look.
Waterfront & Bayshore homes
What to expect:
Homes near the bay where salt air corrodes hardware and ages screen faster, and where the view is the whole point.
Typical work:
20/20 No-See-Um and Super Screen that stand up to salt, plus picture-window panels that open up the water view.
Established mid-century homes
What to expect:
Older pool cages in areas like Temple Terrace that have been rescreened before and may need a structural look.
Typical work:
Full rescreens with the frame, cables, and tapcons checked first so the new screen lasts.

Yes. Custom work around tall, curved, or arched openings and decorative columns is something we do regularly on Tampa's older homes. We build the screen to fit the opening.
Near the bay, 20/20 No-See-Um stops the tiny gnats that standard screen misses, and a tougher mesh like Super Screen holds up better to salt air. Picture-window panels are popular where the water view matters.
Yes. We have handled commercial screen projects, including balcony and patio screening. Tell us about the space, and we will scope it.
A lanai rescreen starts at around $1,000, and a pool cage at around $2,500, with size and screen choice driving the final number. Your exact price comes with a free estimate.
