Best time of year to repair your pool screen in DeBary FL

Best time of year to repair your pool screen in DeBary FL

Living in beautiful Central Florida is a dream. We have the Spring-to-Spring Trail for bike rides and the peaceful St. Johns River for cooling off. But let’s be honest, Florida has two seasons: "pretty nice outside" and "a lizard just stared at you from your lanai like you owe him rent."

I’m David. I own DeBary Screen Repair by David. I am a 100% disabled veteran, and my family has been doing this work for four generations. My brain works a little differently—I’m neurodivergent—which just means I pay extra attention to the details that others might miss. I love fixing screens. It is what I do.

If you live in Volusia County, you know your screen takes a beating. Whether you are near the DeBary Hall Historic Site or closer to the Deltona Walmart on Howland Blvd, the sun and wind are tough on your pool cage. So, when is the best time to fix it?

Why timing is everything

Many people wait until the summer heat is at its worst before they call for a repair. But there is a secret: the best time to fix your screens is before the bad weather hits.

In Central Florida, we deal with heavy winds and stormy summers. If you have a small rip in your screen now, the wind will turn that rip into a big hole very fast. It is much cheaper to fix one panel today than to have the whole side of your cage blow out later.

Plan ahead for the seasons

• Late Winter and Early Spring: This is the perfect time. The weather is cool. You can sit outside without sweating. It’s a great time to get your pool ready before you head over to Gemini Springs State Park for a weekend hike.
• Before Hurricane Season: We all know our Florida weather can be wild. Getting your screens tight and secure before June helps your cage stay strong.
• The "Manatee Season": When the manatees come to Blue Spring State Park in Orange City, we know it’s getting chilly. That is a great time to call me. I’m already working in the area, and I can swing by to get your lanai looking sharp.

Why you should trust a local expert

I am proud to be a 100% disabled veteran-owned business. My Florida license number is #L23000258525. Because my family has been doing this for four generations, we don’t take shortcuts. I treat every screen as if it were on my own home near the SunRail station.

I know that your porch or pool area is your sanctuary. It’s where you relax after a long day at the DeLand Artisan Alley or a fun trip to New Smyrna Beach. You don't want bugs crashing your dinner!
