“The handyman, Randell Blaney, was punctual and thorough. The job turned out to be bigger than expected. He ended up having to rescreen the door manually instead of purchasing pre-made screens. Despite the extra time and effort, the price was reasonable. I would use them again.”
“Scott did a fantastic job with everything that we needed done. Very professional and polite. Screen repair and fan replacement and fixed a leaking toilet. Definitely recommend him and this company. I will be using them again.”
“We had several small projects completed including grab bar installation, new exterior lights, and new patio screen doors. All projects were thoroughly and professionally completed. We have used the Handyman Company twice and will use them again in the future as projects arise.”
“The Handyman Company did a great job from beginning to end on the backsplash in my kitchen. Their communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would and their workmanship was incredible. I had talked to a few companies prior and it was like pulling teeth trying to get those guys to follow up. The Handyman Company is run like a company is supposed to be run. I have already booked them for another job on my house and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of work on their house.”
“Hi Brian, stop by and he was very helpful in solving my door problem thanks for your service”
“On time, price as quoted and went the extra mile. Easy and efficient. Would use the service again.”
“I needed several openings around outdoor lights sealed. They did an excellent job and it was reasonably priced. Very happy with their work!”
“Great service and the repair was done to my satisfaction.”
“Very prompt, helpful and thorough. It’s not cheap, but you get quality work”
“David Becerra and his crew are highly skilled and very hard working people. They are diligent, trustworthy and very competitive in terms of pricing. I recommend them.”
What We Handle
Window Screen Repair & Replacement
Torn or sagging window screens get new mesh in the existing frames where the frame is sound, using durable fiberglass that keeps the airflow while it keeps the bugs out. Frames bent past saving get replaced.
Screen Door Repair
Hinged screen doors adjusted, rehung, and rescreened so they close on their own and latch without a slam. We check the frame for alignment too, so the repair gives you a door that works, not just new mesh.
Sliding Screen Doors
Draggy sliders usually need new rollers and a track cleanup, because worn wheels are the usual reason a slider drags. We fix the glide, square the door in its frame, check the hardware, and rescreen it while it is off the track, so it runs smooth again.
Lanai & Patio Side Panels
Ripped or sun-rotted side panels on the lanai and other outdoor enclosures rescreened drum-tight, with spline seated so the mesh stays put through storm season. Loose screens, holes, and shifted aluminum frames are the common calls. Florida sun gives lanai mesh seven to ten good years before rescreening comes due.
Pet-Resistant Mesh Options
For the panels the dog goes through every year, heavier pet-resistant mesh takes the abuse that standard screen cannot. No more patching the same panel every spring.
Frame & Spline Repair
Bent frames, corroded corners, and crumbling spline replaced with the right parts, because new mesh in a failed frame does not stay tight for long. Where the old hardware was already failing, the new parts are an upgrade, not just a patch.
Side panels and doors, yes. Cage roofs, no.
We repair window screens, screen doors, and the reachable side panels of lanais, porches, and patio enclosures. What we do not do is rescreen full pool cages, including the roof panels overhead. That is specialty work with its own rigging, and rescreening an entire cage structure is best left to a dedicated rescreening company. If your whole cage needs doing, we will say so honestly rather than take work that belongs to someone else.
Small Repairs That Win Your Evenings Back
Yes, we fix screens, and it is one of the quickest ways to get your outdoor space back. A torn screen is a small thing that ruins big things. One ripped lanai panel and the mosquitoes own your evenings. A screen door that drags and will not latch gets propped open, and then the bugs do not even need the hole. Window screens with sagging mesh make the whole house look tired from the street.
Screen repair means stripping out torn or sun-rotted mesh, rolling in new material with fresh spline, replacing damaged frame parts where needed, and tensioning every panel so it sits drum-tight and keeps the bugs out. Our own craftsmen rescreen and replace window screens, adjust and rescreen screen doors, put new rollers on dragging sliding screen doors, install pet-resistant mesh where the dog hits, and pull torn lanai and patio side panels tight again. The work is quick and tidy, the estimate is free, and it carries the same one year warranty as everything else we do. Over half our work is repeat customers and referrals, and small jobs done right are exactly how that happens.
Walk the house once, count every torn panel and balky door, and give us the whole list. Screens are fast work, so batching them into one visit is the smart way to buy it, and we are glad to have the long list.

How a Rescreen Actually Goes
- 1
Walk and count
We check every panel, door, and window screen with you, press-test the mesh that looks tired, and put the whole list into one written price, so you can weigh cost against value panel by panel instead of chasing the lowest number. If a door or window is new enough that the manufacturer may still cover it, check the warranty first. Sun-rotted mesh rarely fails in just one place.
- 2
Strip back to the frame
Old mesh and crumbled spline come out, and the frame channel gets checked, because new mesh only holds tension in a clean, sound channel.
- 3
Pull the new mesh drum-tight
Fresh mesh gets rolled in with new spline matched to the channel, then tensioned evenly across the panel: no ripples, no waves, no slack corners waiting for the first storm. Undersized spline is the quiet reason cheap rescreens let go.
- 4
Trim, refit, and adjust
Edges trimmed clean, panels refitted, and doors rehung so they glide and latch without a slam.
- 5
The press test before we go
Every finished panel gets pressed by hand. Tight is the whole job, and you should hear a drum, not a flap.
Built for Florida
Screens are Florida infrastructure
The Florida sun is what kills screen mesh. Years of UV make it brittle, sun-facing walls always first, so one day a broom handle or a palm frond goes straight through material that used to flex. Summer storms finish the job, throwing branches and debris through lanai panels every season from June through November. A timely repair keeps a small tear from spreading through sun-brittle mesh. If your screens are original to the house, the first tear is rarely the last.
And screens here are not cosmetic. Bug season makes an unscreened lanai unusable exactly when you most want to be out on it, and evening mosquitoes will chase you inside by dusk. A tight screen is the entire difference between an outdoor room you use every night and a slab of concrete you look at through the glass.
Pick the Right Screen Material for Each Panel
Screen is not one material, and one enclosure can carry more than one kind. We match the mesh to each panel's sun exposure, pet contact, and insect pressure. That is how a repair lasts instead of repeating, and you do not have to know the names to get it right.
Standard fiberglass
The everyday choice for windows and most lanai panels. Standard fiberglass balances visibility, airflow, and bug control, disappears from a few steps away, and stays economical to replace when the Florida sun finally wins.
Pet-resistant mesh
A vinyl-coated polyester weave built to shrug off claws and noses, for the panels your dog actually hits, usually the bottom row and the door. It costs more per panel, so we use it where the abuse happens and standard mesh everywhere else.
No-see-um mesh
A tighter weave that stops the tiny biting midges that come with living near water or marshland. If standard screen is not stopping whatever finds you at dusk, this is the fix.
Solar and privacy mesh
Denser weaves that cut glare and heat on the sunny side of a lanai and make it harder to see in from outside. A common pick for west-facing panels.

Screen Repair: Doors, Windows & Lanai Panels: Common Questions
Who does the best screen repair in Florida?
The Handyman Company rescreens windows, doors, and lanai side panels with tight, straight mesh and fixes the rollers and latches on dragging screen doors, all by employee craftsmen with a written price and a one year warranty. Six Florida offices handle the work year round, and the company has been repairing screens since 1999.
Do you rescreen pool cages?
Partly, and we are upfront about the line. We repair the side panels you can reach from the ground or a ladder, and we repair cage doors. Full cage rescreens that include the roof panels overhead are specialty work, and for those a dedicated rescreening company is the right call. We will tell you which side of that line your job falls on before you spend anything.
Can you fix just one torn panel, or is that too small a job?
One panel is a fine reason to call, and no job is too small for us. A single small hole in otherwise sound mesh can sometimes take a patch. Whether it is one tear or several damaged sections, the deciding factor is the condition of the surrounding mesh, and mesh that tears at a touch calls for a full rescreen or panel replacement. Sun-rotted mesh rarely fails in only one place, so most customers have us walk the lanai and quote every weak panel at once. One visit, one written price.
My screen door drags and will not latch. Can that be fixed without a new door?
Almost always, so hold off on shopping. Sliding screen doors need new rollers and a cleaned, straightened track. Hinged screen doors need adjustment or rehanging so they sit square in the opening again. A square fit is what keeps a door gliding, and forcing a warped door back into service never lasts. We fix the glide and the latch, and rescreen the door while we have it in hand.
My dog keeps going through the bottom panels. Is there a screen that survives pets?
Yes, and it will save you a yearly repair. Pet-resistant mesh is a heavier weave that shrugs off the claws and noses that shred standard screen. We install it in the panels your pets actually hit, usually the bottom row and the door, and leave standard mesh everywhere else.
What does screen repair cost?
Panel count, the mesh you choose, and frame condition set the number, and screens price small next to most trades. Some homeowner policies and protection plans cover accidental damage for a flat deductible, which is worth a check before you pay out of pocket. A hardware-store kit with a spline roller can handle one small window screen if you have a patient afternoon, but big lanai panels are a tension game that most people lose. We count everything with you, write one price for the lot, and the written number is the one on the invoice, backed for a full year instead of the thirty days a typical screen outfit stands behind.
Do you replace the frames too, or just the mesh?
Both. New mesh in a bent frame or with crumbling spline will not stay tight, so we repair or replace frames and spline wherever they have failed. The goal is a screen that stays drum-tight, not one that looks good for a month.
