If your Tampa lanai sits under an oak, you already know the pattern: leaves and pollen collect on the roof panels every spring, the screen sags under the weight, and the first strong storm tears what the debris weakened. ABC Pool Cage Painting repairs and rescreens pool cages across Tampa, from South Tampa and Carrollwood to Westchase, New Tampa and Temple Terrace.

Roof Panels Take the Beating

Roof-only rescreens are the most common job in Tampa because the roof carries the tree litter and the sun. During a roof rescreen we clear every channel of debris, replace the spline with the correct size for your frame and stretch the panels tight so they shed water and leaves instead of holding them. Trimming back branches that touch the cage, where allowed, keeps the new screen intact longer.

Full Rescreen or Repair

A recent screen with one or two damaged panels needs a repair. Mesh that has faded to grey, cracks when folded or fails somewhere new every month is at the end of its life and a full rescreen with new spline in every channel is the better value and the uniform result.

Mesh Choices Across Tampa

• Standard 18/14 charcoal for roofs and most walls in the inland neighborhoods.
• 20/20 no-see-um mesh on wall panels for homes on the bay, the river and near preserves in New Tampa where midges gather at dusk.
• Pet screen on the bottom row and around the door for households with dogs.
• Privacy screen for a side wall on the close-set lots of South Tampa; solar screen for west-facing glare.

Hardware and the Frame

With the screen out we replace rusting screws with stainless, renew door closers and latches, swap cracked chair-rail caps and check cable braces and anchors. If the frame is stained brown from tannins, chalked or streaking rust, the Tampa restoration service combines the rescreen with cleaning, repairs and a full recoat.

Storm Season Over the Bay

Summer storms build fast over Tampa Bay. After a system passes we close open enclosures first with stocked panel sizes, then complete full rescreens in order, reporting bent bars and loose anchors before installing screen on them. Work pauses during lightning and resumes the same day when possible.
