Hurricane-Damaged Screen Enclosure
Pool cage damaged by hurricane or tropical storm in Orlando. Emergency repair steps, insurance claims, and recovery guide.
Hurricane and tropical storm damage to pool screen enclosures is common in Central Florida. After a storm, your priority is safety, documentation, and getting in the repair queue quickly.
Immediate steps
- Stay safe — Don’t go under a damaged enclosure with leaning or loose members
- Document everything — Photos and video from multiple angles before any cleanup
- Contact insurance — File your claim ASAP with documentation
- Call a contractor — Get in the repair queue early; post-storm demand surges
Damage categories
- Screen blowout only — Frame intact, panels missing. Fastest, cheapest fix ($150-$6,000 depending on scope)
- Frame damage — Bent or broken aluminum members. Requires structural repair before rescreening ($2,000-$12,000)
- Total loss — Enclosure flattened or beyond repair. Full rebuild needed ($6,000-$20,000+, 6-12 weeks)
Insurance
Most Florida homeowner’s policies cover hurricane damage to screen enclosures. Your hurricane deductible (2-5% of home value) applies. We provide detailed estimates formatted for insurance adjusters.
Don’t wait
Exposed pools collect debris, breed mosquitoes, and violate Florida pool barrier codes. The sooner your enclosure is restored, the sooner your pool is safe and usable.
