Screen Enclosures & Pool Cages in Sarasota, FL

Custom pool enclosures, lanai, porch and patio enclosures, and motorized screens, built for the way Sarasota lives outdoors.

Built for Sarasota Living

Screen enclosures designed around your home

In Sarasota, the backyard is part of the home. Warm weather lasts most of the year, afternoon storms roll in off the Gulf, and insects are part of daily life near water and landscaping. A well-designed screen enclosure is what lets you actually enjoy that outdoor space, from a morning coffee on the lanai to an evening swim without mosquitoes.

We design and install screen enclosures for Sarasota homeowners, with a focus on clean lines, solid aluminum construction and a finished look that complements the architecture of the house. Our work includes new pool cages and swimming pool screen enclosures, full pool cage replacement, complete pool cage and lanai rescreening, lanai enclosures, porch enclosures, patio enclosures, and residential and commercial motorized screens.

Pool cages and pool screen enclosures

A pool cage is the most recognizable outdoor structure in Southwest Florida. It keeps insects, leaves and palm fronds out of the water, adds privacy, and makes the deck an extension of your living space. As pool cage builders, we plan each swimming pool cage around the shape of the pool, the deck, the roofline of the home and the views you want to keep. If you are comparing pool cage contractors or pool cage companies, you can read more about how we approach new pool enclosure design and installation.

Lanai, porch and patio enclosures

Not every outdoor screen enclosure surrounds a pool. Lanai enclosures convert a covered area into a comfortable outdoor room. Porch enclosures and screen porch enclosures protect the front or side of the home while keeping air moving. Patio enclosures, including patio screen enclosures with a solid roof, create a shaded, screened space for dining and entertaining. Each is designed to suit the way you plan to use it.

Screen enclosure installation done carefully

Good screen enclosure installation is about more than the frame. It involves how the structure attaches to the home, how water drains, how doors are placed for daily traffic, and which screen product makes sense for your exposure. We take the time to talk through those details before work begins so the finished screened enclosure works as well as it looks.

Why Screen Your Outdoor Space

More time outside, less time cleaning up

Fewer insects

Screen mesh keeps out mosquitoes and most flying insects, so mornings and evenings outdoors are comfortable again.

Less pool debris

Leaves, palm fronds and windblown debris stay outside the cage, which means less skimming and cleaner water.

Sun and glare control

Specialty and solar screen options can soften harsh afternoon sun and help shade decks and furniture.

Usable living space

A screened enclosure turns a pool deck, lanai or patio into an outdoor room you can use most of the year.

Aging Enclosure?

Rescreen or replace: choosing the right path

When an older pool cage or lanai starts to look tired, there are two options to consider. We'll assess your enclosure and recommend what makes sense for your home and budget.

Full Rescreening

Best when the aluminum frame is still sound but the screen is faded, sagging or torn in many places. All screen panels are replaced with new mesh, giving the enclosure a crisp, clean look and renewing its screening and protection.

Full Replacement

Best when the frame itself is aging, when you are remodeling the pool or deck, or when you want a different height, roof style or a more modern profile. The old structure is removed and a new enclosure is built in its place.

Motorized Screens

Open air when you want it, protection when you need it

Motorized screens and motorized outdoor screens roll down from a discreet housing at the touch of a button. They are ideal for large openings on lanais, outdoor kitchens and covered patios where a fixed screen wall would block the view. We offer residential motorized screens, custom motorized screens, large motorized screens for wide spans, and SUNPRO motorized screens. Automated screens and retractable motorized screens are also a practical choice for restaurants and businesses, and electric screens for patios can transform how often a space gets used.

Local to Sarasota

Designed for Gulf Coast conditions

Sarasota's climate shapes every screen enclosure decision. Intense sun fades screen and furniture, summer storms bring wind-driven rain, and humid conditions mean drainage and ventilation matter. Homes range from mid-century ranches near the bay to newer communities with tall, open floor plans, and each calls for a different enclosure profile.

Because we are based here, we understand how Sarasota homeowners use their outdoor spaces and how local building requirements affect enclosure projects. You can learn more about the community we serve on our Sarasota, Florida service page.

Questions & Answers

Screen enclosure questions from Sarasota homeowners

What is the difference between a pool cage and a pool enclosure?

In Southwest Florida the terms are used interchangeably. Both describe an aluminum frame wrapped in screen mesh that surrounds a swimming pool and deck. “Pool cage” is the everyday local term, while “pool screen enclosure” or “swimming pool enclosure” is more common in design and permitting conversations.

How much does a pool enclosure cost in Sarasota?

Enclosure details vary by project, property and service type, so cost depends on factors such as size, layout, how the enclosure connects to the home, the screen type and finish selected, and existing conditions. Project details depend on the space, existing conditions and enclosure being considered. Rather than quote a generic number, we provide free estimates for your specific project.

Should I rescreen or replace my pool cage?

If the aluminum frame is still sound and only the screen is worn, faded or torn, full rescreening is usually the practical choice. If the frame itself is aging, the layout no longer suits the home, or you want a different style or height, full pool cage replacement may make more sense. Tell us about the condition of your enclosure and what you want to improve. Full rescreening or full replacement may be discussed depending on the existing enclosure and project goals.

How long does pool cage rescreening last?

Screen life varies with sun exposure, the mesh product selected, pets, landscaping contact and storm activity. Because these conditions differ from property to property, there is no single lifespan for every enclosure. Screening options such as no-see-um, privacy, solar and pet-resistant screen can be discussed for your project.

When should an old pool cage be replaced?

Replacement is worth considering when a frame shows significant age, when you are renovating the pool or deck, when the existing design blocks views or light, or when you want a different style or layout. Applicable requirements vary by project and location and can be discussed as part of the project.

Can you build a new enclosure around an existing pool?

Yes. New pool enclosures can be installed for homes with an existing pool that has never been screened, or where an old cage was removed. New pool enclosure projects can vary significantly depending on the pool area, surrounding deck, enclosure size, layout and selected options.

What are the benefits of a lanai enclosure?

A screened lanai can make a covered outdoor area more comfortable to use. Screening can help reduce insects and debris, and privacy or solar screen options can add privacy and reduce glare. Lanai enclosures can also connect to a pool cage, with white or bronze frame finishes available.

What type of screen is best for Florida?

Screening options include finer “no-see-um” screen for small insects, pet-resistant screen, privacy screen and solar screen that can help reduce glare and heat. The best choice depends on how you use the space.

Do pool enclosures help keep insects and debris out?

A screened enclosure can help reduce insects, leaves, palm fronds and other debris reaching the pool area. Results depend on the screen selected and the condition of the enclosure.

How long does a new pool enclosure take?

Timelines depend on design, permitting, material availability and weather, so they vary from project to project. Scheduling can be discussed for your specific project.

Do screen enclosure projects require permits?

Permit requirements vary by project type and location. Applicable requirements can be discussed as part of the project conversation.

What are motorized screens?

Motorized screens are retractable screens that roll down from a slim housing along side tracks using a switch or remote control. They let you open a lanai, patio or outdoor room when you want and lower the screens to help reduce insects, sun or wind.

Can motorized screens be used commercially?

Yes. Commercial motorized screens can suit outdoor business areas, with options for large-span openings and grouped controls that operate whole sections together.

Do you install SUNPRO motorized screens?

Yes. We offer SUNPRO motorized screen products, along with custom motorized screen solutions for residential and commercial openings.
