Pool cage rescreen: $1,200–$8,000 (typical ~$3,000)
By enclosure size and screen type; a two-story cage needing scaffolding costs more. Rescreening an existing frame is not licensed structural work.
Curated Florida 2026 estimate — installed cost for a typical FL single-family home, not a bid.
This trade spans two license realities in Florida. Building or replacing an aluminum screen enclosure, pool cage, or lanai structure is licensed specialty contractor work — these are engineered structures that must meet wind-load code. Rescreening an existing frame, replacing awning fabric, or fixing an awning motor is generally not a licensed trade. Verify a specialty license for structural aluminum work.
Different scopes here carry different permit and license needs — ask who holds which before work starts.
Basis: FL Stat. 489 (DBPR / CILB aluminum specialty) for building a screen enclosure or aluminum structure · rescreen/repair unregulated.
