Why DeBary homeowners choose local screen repair over big companies

When your screens start looking like a giant spider had a party, you need a local expert you can trust. Here is why DeBary homeowners choose us over big, faceless corporations for their screen repair needs.

Why DeBary homeowners choose local screen repair over big companies

Living in Central Florida is wonderful. We have beautiful weather, great neighbors, and more lizards than people. If you live here, you know the truth: Florida really has two seasons. It is either “pretty nice outside” or “a lizard just stared at you from your lanai like you owe him rent.”

But our beautiful Florida weather comes with a catch. Between the hot sun and the wind, our screen enclosures take a beating. Eventually, a pool cage wall panel will rip, or a roof panel will pop out. When that happens, who do you call? Many people think they should call a big, fancy national company. But in DeBary, FL, the secret is that a local expert is always better.

Why go local in Volusia County?

I am David. I own DeBary Screen Repair by David. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran, and I come from a long line of tradespeople—I’m actually a 4th generation professional! My family is also neurodivergent, which just means our brains work a little differently. For me, that means I am hyper-focused. When I fix a screen, I don’t just slap some mesh on and leave. I make sure every clip is tight and every edge is clean.

Big companies send out random workers who might not care about your home. When you hire me, you get the person who owns the business. You get someone who genuinely loves fixing screens because it makes our neighborhood look better.

From Gemini Springs to the St. Johns River

I spend a lot of time driving around Volusia County. Whether I am heading toward the DeBary Hall Historic Site for a little history or taking a break near the St. Johns River, I love this area.

I know the local neighborhoods well. I have fixed screens near the Spring-to-Spring Trail and helped folks out near the SunRail station in DeBary. I’ve worked on homes from the DeBary Farmhouse Inn all the way over to the Deltona Walmart on Howland Blvd.

Being local means I show up on time. I don’t get lost trying to find your house, and I don’t treat you like just another number on a spreadsheet. Whether you are closer to the manatees at Orange City’s Blue Spring State Park or near the busy shops in the DeLand Artisan Alley, I am your neighbor.

Our simple, honest pricing

Big companies often hide their fees in fancy paperwork. I prefer to keep things simple. You should know what you are paying for before I start.

Here is my standard, honest pricing:

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

I am a licensed professional (FL license #L23000258525), so you know the job will be done right. Being a veteran-owned business is a big part of who I am. I believe in hard work, integrity, and treating your home with the same respect I would give my own.

Getting your home ready for Florida life

Maybe you are planning a trip to the Daytona International Speedway, or perhaps you want to spend the weekend relaxing at New Smyrna Beach. Whatever you do, you want to come home to a house that looks great.

You don’t want to be sitting on your patio, trying to enjoy a quiet evening, only to have a mosquito fly through a hole in your screen that’s the size of a dinner plate. That is not how you should spend your time in our beautiful county!

I have driven through the Sanford Historic District and out past the Betty Steflik Preserve. I know that the screens in our area need to be tough to stand up to the Florida humidity and the afternoon thunderstorms. I use high-quality materials so that once I fix a panel, you won't have to worry about it again for a long time.

Why my brain is your best friend

Because my family is neurodivergent, I look at screen repair a bit differently. I look for the small details that other people miss. If there is a loose screw or a piece of trim that is slightly off, I’m going to notice it. And because I notice it, I’m going to fix it.

I don't just "patch" things. I restore them. I want your lanai to be the best part of your house. It should be a place where you can relax, have a coffee, and watch the Florida sun go down without fighting off the bugs.
