Suncoast Screen does one thing: it repairs and re-screens pool cages, lanais and screen doors across Manatee and Sarasota County. That focus matters more than it might sound. A company that also does gutters, pressure washing and painting treats a screen call as a side job. Here, every call is a screen call.
The work covers the full range of what Florida weather and daily use does to a screened enclosure. A single panel torn by a branch on a Bradenton lanai. A full pool-cage re-screen on Siesta Key after a storm strips half the mesh. A screen door that drags, rattles or simply will not latch. Spline that has dried out and let the mesh go slack. A homeowner who wants no-see-um mesh installed so the enclosure actually keeps the small bugs out. Suncoast Screen handles all of it, and the surrounding counties mean the crew is already in most neighborhoods on a regular basis.
What separates a screen repair from a screen fix that fails in six months is what happens around the mesh itself. Salt air corrodes fasteners. Spline channels crack and gap. Frames take small bends and twists that let a new panel pull loose faster than it should. Suncoast Screen checks the frame, spline channel and fasteners whenever it works on an enclosure, not just the panel that brought the call in. Hardware is chosen to hold up in a coastal environment, because a repair that needs repeating in a year is not a repair.
The same people who take the first call handle the job through to the final walkthrough. There is no handoff to a subcontractor and no crew that changes between the estimate and the work day. If something looks different in person than it did in the photos, the person on-site can answer for it directly.
Our story
A single focus, across two counties
Suncoast Screen was built around a straightforward idea: do screens well and do nothing else. The service area runs across Manatee and Sarasota County, from Bradenton and Palmetto down through Sarasota, Venice and the barrier islands. That range means the crew works in coastal salt air, inland neighborhoods and everything in between, and the materials used reflect that. Hardware and mesh that hold up on a canal-front home in Osprey are the same hardware and mesh used on a lanai in Lakewood Ranch.
Keeping the scope narrow also means the crew develops real familiarity with the enclosure types common to this part of Florida. Older aluminum pool cages with frames that have shifted over decades. Newer construction with tighter tolerances but mesh that still takes a beating from summer storms. The variety of screen door hardware that builders have used over the years. None of these are surprises, because they come up regularly.
When a job is complete, Suncoast Screen does a walkthrough with the customer before leaving the property. If something is not right, that is the moment to say so.
How we work
What to expect when you call
The process starts with a look at what needs to be done. For most jobs, photos help before a visit is scheduled, so it is worth sending a few if the damage is visible. The estimate covers the mesh, the spline and any hardware that needs replacing, so there are no add-ons after the work starts.
On the day of the job, the same crew that gave the estimate does the work. They check the frame and spline channel before cutting any mesh, because the condition of those components determines whether the repair will hold. If something turns up that was not visible in photos or on first inspection, the customer hears about it before anything changes.
The mesh options available include standard fiberglass screen and no-see-um mesh for customers who want a tighter weave. Spline is replaced when it has hardened or cracked rather than re-used, which is the part most often skipped on a cheaper job. The final walkthrough is not a formality. It is the point at which the customer confirms the work is done to their satisfaction.
Who we serve
Who calls Suncoast Screen
Most customers are homeowners in Manatee or Sarasota County who have a pool cage, lanai or screen door that needs attention. The reason for the call varies. Some have a single panel that tore during a storm and want it fixed before it gets worse. Some are dealing with mesh that has gone brittle and saggy after years of sun exposure. Some have a screen door that no longer closes properly, which is a bigger annoyance than it sounds when you are trying to keep bugs away from a pool.
Storm damage generates a different kind of call. When wind takes out multiple panels or warps a section of frame, the scope of work is larger and the timing usually feels more urgent. Suncoast Screen handles both the small single-panel jobs and the larger post-storm restorations across the same service area.
Property managers and landlords with screened enclosures on rental properties also call when a tenant reports damage. The work is the same regardless of who owns the home.
