Summer storm season screen repair tips for DeBary homeowners

Summer storm season screen repair tips for DeBary homeowners

Living in Central Florida is beautiful. We have the amazing Gemini Springs State Park for picnics and the Spring-to-Spring Trail for long bike rides. But we also know the truth about our weather. Florida has two seasons: "pretty nice outside" and "a lizard just stared at you from your lanai like you owe him rent."

When summer storms roll in off the St. Johns River, our screens take a beating. High winds and flying branches can rip through your pool cage or porch screens in seconds. My name is David. I am a 100% disabled veteran, and I run DeBary Screen Repair by David. My family has been doing this for four generations. We are a neurodivergent family, which means I look at every screen with a very detailed eye. I don't just fix it; I fix it right.

Why your screens need love after a storm

You might have just spent a lovely day visiting the manatees at Blue Spring State Park in Orange City, only to come home and find a hole in your screen. It happens! Even a small tear can let in hungry mosquitoes. Once a hole starts, the Florida wind makes it bigger fast.

We serve all of Volusia County, from the quiet charm of the DeBary Hall Historic Site to the busy streets near the Deltona Walmart on Howland Blvd. Whether you live near the DeLand Artisan Alley or closer to the Sanford Historic District, I want your home to be a safe place to relax.

Tips to keep your screens safe

• Look for loose frames: After a big storm, walk around your pool cage. See if the metal frame feels loose. If the frame wiggles, the screen will rip.
• Clear the yard: Keep branches trimmed back. If a tree branch is touching your screen, a summer breeze will turn that branch into a saw.
• Check the "spline": The spline is the rubber cord that holds the screen in the metal track. If you see it popping out, give me a call before it falls out completely.
• Don't wait: A tiny rip is a cheap fix. A huge rip after a storm is a bigger job. It is much easier to catch it early!

Our honest, simple pricing

I believe in being honest. You should know what you are paying for before I even show up. I am a veteran-owned business, and my FL license number is #L23000258525. Here is how I charge:

• Pool cage wall panels: $65
• Roof panels: $130
• Lanai, porch, or window panels: $75
• Minimum service call: $130

These prices are fair and help me keep my family going. I treat your home like my own. Because my brain works a bit differently, I am very thorough. I check the details that other people might miss. I love fixing screens because it makes a house feel like a home again. You should be able to sit on your porch and enjoy a cool drink without worrying about bugs or lizards getting inside.

We serve our neighbors

From the folks heading out to New Smyrna Beach for a surf day to those enjoying the view near the DeBary SunRail station, I am here for you. I know how busy life gets. Between work, kids, and trying to keep the lawn mowed, screen repair should be the last thing on your mind.

I have lived in this area for a long time. I know the humidity, the heat, and the sudden downpours. I don't just work in DeBary; I am a part of this community. I take pride in being a 4th-generation screen repair expert. Whether you are living in a historic home near the DeBary Farmhouse Inn or a newer build, I have the right tools and the patience to get the job done.
