Why Miami patio screens fail early
- UV + humidity — fiberglass mesh brittle-cracks; aluminum frames oxidize near the bay.
- Storm season — flying debris and pressure washers punch holes that look small but grow fast.
- Pets — claw tears at bottom rails; pet-resistant mesh (+$15) is usually cheaper than a second callout.
- Rollers & tracks — sand and salt jam sliding doors so the mesh stretches when people force the door.
When to re-mesh vs replace the door
- Re-mesh / repair ($89 sliding line) — frame square, corners intact, only mesh or hardware failed.
- Straighten + re-mesh — mild rack; frame repair line $29 plus mesh as needed.
- Quote full door — severe corrosion, missing corners, or HOA-mandated frame style. We photograph and write the range before ordering parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does patio screen door repair cost in Miami?
Sliding screen door repair is $89 on the Gold Hands window-screen menu. Standard window screen re-mesh is $39 per screen; frame repair/straightening $29; multi-screen (4+) drops to $29 each. Pet-resistant mesh add-on $15; no-see-um fine mesh $12.
Is patio screen door the same as a window screen?
Same mesh skills, different hardware. Patio / lanai sliding doors use taller frames, rollers, and latch hardware that window screens do not. We price sliding screen door repair as its own $89 line.
Can you re-mesh a Miami patio screen that tore from storms or pets?
Yes. Most jobs are re-mesh plus spline; if the frame is bent we straighten or advise a new frame. Salt air and UV on Key Biscayne, Miami Beach, and bay corridors age mesh faster — pet mesh upgrades help at $15 add-on.
Do you replace the whole patio screen door or only the mesh?
We re-mesh and repair rollers/latches when the frame is sound. Full door replacement is quoted after photos if the frame is corroded or racked. Send clear photos of tears, rollers, and the latch when you book.
How many patio screens can you do in one visit?
Multiple screens (4+) drop to $29 per standard re-mesh. Patio sliding doors stay on the $89 sliding-door line unless we agree a package. Half-day packages also work for whole-lanai punch lists.
