Repairs and Re-screening

     The average life span for screen can be anywhere from 10 to 15 years depending on the location. Screen on the roof of a swimming pool enclosure receives the most sun and consequently damage from UV radiation. Over time, the screen's vinyl coating will wear off and expose the silvery fiberglass threads inside. At this point the screen is very brittle and will tear quite easily. If your screen looks like this then it's time for a re-screen.

     If your screen is worn out then re-screening your entire porch or enclosure is less costly in the long run than continuing to replace individual panels. A quick inspection of the screen can determine if a re-screen is needed or if single panels should be repaired.

     Other common repairs include,

bullet

Door hardware - The most common problems with screen doors are broken latches, rusty closers, broken hinges or an improperly installed door that "just never worked right".  Often, when a latch breaks the homeowner will attempt to replace it with one from the local hardware store. These latches are seldom a match and can be problematic if they work at all. If your doors don't work right I recommend replacing the door kit, hinges and bug sweep if needed. Replacement kick panels for doors are also available. I can make your problem door work right.

bullet

Rusted anchor bolts - The bolts that anchor your enclosure to the deck, if not stainless steel, can be extremely vulnerable to the harsh pool chemicals and hard water from irrigation systems next to the walls. That's why I use only Stainless Steel anchors for this important connection. If your bolts are rusted or broken have them inspected and replaced as soon as possible.

bullet

Loose or broken wind-braces or cables. This is what keeps your enclosure safe when the winds come. Replace broken cables as soon as possible.

     Many homeowners are unaware that their insurance company may no longer cover their screen enclosure or they charge an additional costly premium. Guard you screen enclosure with proper maintenance.
