Cost of pool cage screen repair after a storm in Volusia County

Living in Central Florida is beautiful, but we all know the deal. Florida has two seasons: "pretty nice outside" and "a lizard just stared at you from your lanai like you owe him rent."

When a big storm rolls through, our pool cages often take the brunt of the wind. Whether you live near the beautiful St. Johns River or just down the road from the DeBary SunRail station, you might walk out to your backyard and see a torn screen. It feels like a punch in the gut.

Hi, I’m David. I own DeBary Screen Repair by David. I am a 100% disabled veteran and a 4th-generation Floridian. I am also neurodivergent, which means my brain is wired to love details. I don’t just "patch" a screen; I look at every single spline and mesh to make sure it is perfect. I love this work because I love seeing a job done the right way.

Why do storms love our pool screens?

It’s not personal, but Florida winds love to find that one tiny hole in your screen. Once the wind gets in, it acts like a sail. This leads to those flapping, noisy screens that keep you awake at night.

I’ve seen screens ripped up from Deltona all the way over to New Smyrna Beach after a bad afternoon storm. You aren't alone, and you aren't the only one dealing with this frustration. I’m here to help you get your backyard back to normal so you can enjoy a coffee while watching the manatees at Blue Spring State Park in Orange City without worrying about bugs getting in.

How much does it cost to fix?

I believe in being honest and open about prices. I hate hidden fees as much as you do. When you look for a repair pro, you want someone who is clear and fair. Here is how I price my work for our neighbors in Volusia County:

• Pool cage wall panels: $65 each.
• Roof panels: $130 each. (These are harder to reach and require extra care!)
• Lanai, porch, or window panels: $75 each.
• Minimum service call: $130.

I want to make sure your home is safe and bug-free. As a 100% disabled veteran-owned business (License #L23000258525), I take pride in my integrity. I show up on time, I work hard, and I don't leave until the job is done right.

Why choose a local pro?

There is something special about working with someone who knows the area. I spend my time riding the Spring-to-Spring Trail and visiting the DeBary Hall Historic Site. I’m a neighbor, not just a guy with a truck.

I’ve seen everything. I’ve fixed screens for folks living near the DeBary Farmhouse Inn and people who spend their weekends at the Daytona International Speedway. I know that when a storm hits, you want the repair done fast so you can get back to living your life.

Whether you’re heading over to the DeLand Artisan Alley for some local art or swinging by the Deltona Walmart on Howland Blvd for groceries, you shouldn't have to stress about a torn screen at home. Dealing with repairs can be overwhelming, but my goal is to make it the easiest part of your week.

Tips for storm prep and maintenance

While we can’t stop the wind, a little maintenance goes a long way:

• Check your bolts: If your pool cage has loose bolts, the frame moves more in the wind. That puts stress on the screen.
• Keep trees trimmed: Those branches near the Betty Steflik Preserve are lovely, but make sure they aren't touching your screen. A branch rubbing against a screen during a storm is a recipe for a big tear.
• Call early: After a major storm, everyone needs help at the same time. Don't wait for the holes to get bigger!

I’m here to help. I am thorough, I am honest, and I truly enjoy making your lanai look brand new again. I’ve worked in the heat from Sanford to the coast, and I treat every house like it’s my own family’s home.

If you are tired of looking at that ripped screen and want a local expert who is easy to talk to, I am just a phone call away. I pick up the phone myself, so you won't have to talk to a robot or a call center.
