Torn Pool Screen Panels
Torn or ripped pool screen panels in Orlando. Causes, repair options, and cost to fix. Quick same-day service available.
Torn screen panels are the most common pool enclosure issue in Orlando. A single tear lets bugs in, debris through, and gets worse with every wind gust.
Common causes
- Wind — Afternoon thunderstorms and tropical weather tear weakened mesh
- Fallen branches — Tree limbs puncture panels during storms
- Animals — Squirrels, raccoons, and birds claw through aging screen
- Impact — Pool equipment, toys, or lawn care equipment
- Age — UV-degraded screen tears from minimal contact
What to do
Don’t try to tape or patch screen mesh — it doesn’t hold and looks terrible. The proper fix is replacing the entire panel with new screen and spline.
If you have 1-4 torn panels and the rest of the enclosure is in good shape, panel repair is the right move ($150-$800). If tears are appearing across multiple panels and the screen is 10+ years old, full rescreening is more cost-effective.
Cost
- Single panel: $150-$250
- Multiple panels: $250-$800
- Full rescreening: $2,500-$8,000
