You leave your home for a morning swim and notice that one of your sliding panels is left open. By lunchtime, leaves have accumulated in the pool, and mosquitoes are buzzing about your deck. Excellent Sliding Door provides pool screen repair in Tampa for homes with pool cages and screened porches. Our trained staff can repair torn panels, re-tighten loose spline, and fix damaged screen doors.
Common Pool Screen Problems We See
Most calls start with the same few complaints:
- A screen panel is ripped or has a hole
- The screen popped out of the frame
- The screen is sagging or loose
- The pool cage door will not close right
- The screen looks gray, brittle, or stained
That small hole looks like nothing at all. But wind moves in and before you know it, that little tear has grown. Repairing a single panel of pool screen is far less expensive than having the entire wall of screen recreened. We do fast pool screen repair.
Why Pool Screens Wear Out in Tampa
The Florida sun will eventually wear out your screen mesh material. It will become brittle and may even tear when you touch it. We experience summer storms almost daily, and high winds can pull on panels. The occasional falling palm or oak branch can create holes in your roof panels.
Many of the homes with pools in Palma Ceia and Hyde Park are under large oak trees. Thus, there is more debris and damage in these yards. Homes on Bayshore Blvd. deal with strong winds off the water.
In addition to many other pests, love bugs in spring and fall adhere to the screen mesh and create unsightly stains that collect dirt and grime. Pollen and mildew collect in shaded areas of the screen and create grime that holds moisture and further hastens the deterioration of older screen mesh.
What Our Pool Screen Repair Service Includes
We look at the entire pool enclosure, not just the area that has been torn. Our pool screen repair in Tampa covers the following:
- Single panel rescreening
- Spline replacement for loose or popped screens
- Pool cage screen door repair
- Multiple panel or full wall rescreens
- Heavier mesh options for high-traffic spots
We can patch individual panels that have torn, but if the majority of your screen mesh is old and brittle, we will recommend a new larger rescreen in most cases.
Tips to Make Your Pool Screens Last
Occasionally rinse your screens with a garden hose. Never use a pressure washer to rinse screens, as it can tear old mesh. Keep branches away from the screens of your rain garden. Inspect your rain garden for loose screens after a big storm to make repairs before the next rain.
Dogs love to try and squeeze through lower panels, so be aware of these. Using a pet screen on the bottom row can help stop you getting called back for further repairs.
Pool Screen Repair FAQs

Excellent Sliding Door handles pool screen repair in South Tampa, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Bayshore, Westshore and the Channel District.
Can you fix just one torn panel?
Yes, it is possible to rescreen a single panel instead of rescreening the entire pool cage for a single tear.
What do I do if a storm tore my pool screen?
Do not use ladders in windy conditions. Take photos of damage to trees. Drop any loose branches that you can reach from ground level. We then come to inspect the tree.
