Replace Aging Screens Without Rebuilding the Enclosure

Complete re-screening services for pool cages, patios, and lanais in Bradenton, Florida and surrounding areas.

When every panel in your enclosure shows wear, replacing individual screens one at a time becomes less practical. You may notice sagging across multiple sections, discoloration from sun exposure, or mesh that no longer keeps insects out effectively. Re-screening addresses all of these issues at once by removing the old material entirely and installing new mesh throughout the structure. Kml Screen & Painting provides complete re-screening services in Bradenton and the surrounding area for homeowners who want to restore the functionality and appearance of their pool cages, patios, and lanais without replacing the framing itself.


This service involves removing all existing screens, inspecting the spline channels and frame for damage, and installing new mesh that is tight, secure, and uniform across every panel. Mesh options are selected based on your needs for visibility, durability, and insect protection, and the work is performed without altering the enclosure structure. Re-screening is often combined with painting or minor frame repairs when multiple aspects of the enclosure need attention.


If your enclosure in Bradenton, Tampa, North Port or a surrounding area shows widespread screen damage or aging, scheduling a seasonal or storm-damage inspection can help you determine whether full re-screening is the most practical solution.

What Complete Replacement Looks Like in Practice

When you arrange re-screening in Bradenton or a neighboring community, the process begins with removing all existing mesh and old spline from the enclosure frame. Each spline channel is cleaned and inspected for damage that could affect the new installation. Kml Screen & Painting measures each opening individually to ensure the new mesh fits properly and remains taut once installed. The replacement material is secured with new spline, which locks the mesh into the frame and prevents sagging or loosening over time.


After the work is complete, you will notice the entire enclosure looks uniform and intentional, with no wrinkled or discolored panels. Airflow improves, visibility through the mesh becomes clearer, and insects are no longer able to enter through gaps or tears. The space feels clean and functional again, which often makes it more comfortable to use year-round.


This service is designed for enclosures where the framing remains structurally sound but the screens themselves are beyond repair or have reached the end of their usable life. It provides a cost-effective alternative to full enclosure replacement and can be completed within one to two days for most residential properties. The work does not require structural changes, so timelines and costs remain predictable.

Most Homeowners Want to Know These Details

Homeowners in Bradenton often want to understand when full re-screening is necessary, what mesh options are available, and how the process affects the use of their outdoor space during the project.

What types of mesh are used for re-screening?
You can choose from standard fiberglass mesh, which offers good visibility and airflow, or more durable options designed to resist tearing and pet damage. The selection depends on how the space is used and your priorities for longevity.
How long does full re-screening take?
Most residential enclosures in Bradenton are completed within one to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the structure. You can typically resume normal use of the space within hours of completion.
Why does screening need to be replaced instead of repaired?
When multiple panels are torn, sagging, or discolored, individual repairs become impractical and the overall appearance remains inconsistent. Full replacement restores uniformity and ensures all panels perform as intended.
What will I notice after re-screening is finished?
You will see tight, clean panels with uniform color and texture across the entire enclosure. Airflow and visibility improve, and the space feels secure and well-maintained rather than worn or neglected.
When should I re-screen instead of replacing the enclosure?
If the framing is structurally sound and the only issues are with the mesh itself, re-screening is the more practical and cost-effective option. Replacement is necessary when the frame is damaged, corroded, or no longer stable.
