Local rescreening

Screen work suited to St. Augustine homes.

From Anastasia Island and Vilano Beach to communities west of I-95, St. Augustine enclosures face a mix of salt air, strong sun, summer storms, pine needles, and mosquitoes. We rescreen pool cages and outdoor rooms with attention to door openings, roof panels, clean sightlines, and consistent tension.

We inspect the pattern of damage and the condition of the existing material before recommending individual panel replacement or a full enclosure rescreen.

Planning a St. Augustine rescreen

Exposure, finished spaces, storm planning and address-specific review shape the project.

Compare coastal and sheltered panels

Properties toward Vilano Beach, Anastasia Island and the Intracoastal can receive more wind-driven salt, moisture and debris than sheltered inland settings. Walk the enclosure from the ground and note the roof slope, corner, door or wall where mesh repeatedly loosens, turns brittle or collects residue. That pattern helps separate an isolated repair from enclosure-wide aging.

Plan access—and check historic status

Pool decks, pavers, landscaping, outdoor kitchens, irrigation and narrow side yards affect how work is staged. Inside the city, older or designated properties may need additional review when a project changes exterior features. The city says approval may be needed for changes to a building more than 50 years old or exterior work in one of its five Historic Preservation zoning districts. Use the city’s building and historic-review guidance and address-based GIS instead of assuming ordinary rescreening and structural alteration follow the same path.

Confirm city or county authority

Screen-only replacement differs from altering enclosure beams, anchors or attachments. For properties inside city limits, the City of St. Augustine Planning and Building Department lists screen-enclosure documents and directs applications through its online Permit Portal. Other St. Augustine mailing addresses may fall under St. Johns County. Confirm the property jurisdiction and exact scope before structural work begins.

Prepare for storms without improvising

The city directs residents to official emergency and evacuation information before tropical weather. Secure loose patio items and follow current local instructions, but do not cut screen, climb the cage or create a removable panel from generic advice. Use the pool-cage screen and hurricane guide to check approved plans, permanent labels, barrier needs and safe post-storm inspection.

Compare the visible porch details before changing them

For a porch within city limits, note whether the job keeps existing stops and frames or changes the visible profile, opening or material. The city’s historic review application guidance distinguishes exterior-feature replacement with a different design or material and identifies additional review in Historic Preservation zoning districts. Send staff the address and a before-and-proposed comparison if the scope changes. Our historic porch screening guide shows what to document and how to separate that work from a mesh-only estimate.

Common questions

Rescreening FAQs

Do you provide screen enclosure estimates in St. Augustine?

Yes. Submit the estimate form with the St. Augustine property location, enclosure type, and a description of the damaged or aging screen.

Do you replace individual screen panels in St. Augustine?

Yes. If the surrounding screen remains flexible and secure, replacing an isolated damaged panel may be the sensible option.

When should a St. Augustine pool cage be fully rescreened?

A full rescreen is often worth considering when several panels are brittle, faded, loose, torn, or beginning to separate around the edges.

Who handles screen-enclosure permit questions inside St. Augustine city limits?

The City of St. Augustine Planning and Building Department handles city permit questions and directs applications through its Permit Portal. A St. Augustine mailing address may still be outside city limits, so confirm the property jurisdiction and exact structural scope.

Should every St. Augustine pool-cage owner remove screen before a hurricane?

No. Screen removal is design-specific. Check approved plans, permanent panel labels, current manufacturer instructions and local building guidance. Do not cut screen or climb the enclosure based on generic storm advice.
