Typical local ranges
What a rescreen often costs around Tampa Bay
These are typical prices from published Tampa Bay and Riverview-area guides. They are not our prices, and they are not a quote. Your number comes from the provider who contacts you, after they see the cage.
| Job | Typical public range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small lanai or patio rescreen (about 200–400 sq. ft. of screen) | $800–$1,600 | Often standard 18x14 fiberglass, per Rescreen Rescue's 2026 Tampa Bay guide. |
| Medium single-story pool cage (about 800–1,200 sq. ft.) | $2,500–$4,500 | Common size in Hillsborough backyards. A Riverview-area company lists full rescreens starting around $2,500. |
| Large or two-story enclosure (about 1,500+ sq. ft.) | $4,500–$7,500+ | Height, complex roofs, and tighter meshes such as no-see-um raise the price. |
| Florida full-rescreen ballpark | $1,500–$4,500+ | About $1.50–$3.50 per square foot in Florida-specific figures cited in that same 2026 guide. |
| Roof-only rescreen | From about $1,500 | Listed by Lanai Guy for the Riverview area. Useful when walls are still sound and the roof mesh has failed. |
| Partial repairs | $200–$900 | Typical range for smaller, localized repairs in the Tampa Bay guide. |

Florida wear
Why pool-cage screens wear out here
Hillsborough backyards put mesh through a lot. Intense sun, humidity, summer storms, and — closer to Apollo Beach and other waterfront streets — salt air all shorten the life of a screen. Pets, kids, and lawn equipment add punctures on the lower panels.
Rescreen Rescue notes that standard fiberglass mesh in Tampa Bay sun and humidity often lasts about 5 to 7 years. A Riverview-area contractor, Lanai Guy, says many cages go 7 to 15 years between full rescreens, and less than that on waterfront or Apollo Beach salt air. Your timeline depends on the mesh, the exposure, and whether earlier repairs held.
Compare common screen types if you're deciding between a basic rescreen and a heavier upgrade, or read about storm damage repairs.
UV
Sun and UV
Florida sun makes fiberglass brittle. Mesh fades, then tears at the spline or along a crease.
H2O
Humidity and rain
Damp air and standing wet weather wear the screen and can corrode cheap fasteners, which then stain the aluminum.
Wind
Storms and debris
Tropical storms and everyday wind slam roof screens and throw branches into wall panels. Roof mesh often fails first.
Pets
Pets, kids, and equipment
Doors and the bottom row of panels take claws, toys, and trimmers. That's where pet screen earns its keep.
FAQ
Common questions
Are you the rescreen company?
No. Riverview Rescreen is a free referral service. We collect your request and connect you with an independent local screen or rescreen provider. We don't do the work ourselves, and we don't give contractor quotes.
How much does a pool cage rescreen cost in Riverview?
Public price guides for Tampa Bay put a typical full rescreen somewhere around $1,500 to $4,500, with medium cages often in the $2,500 to $4,500 range and large or two-story cages running $4,500 to $7,500 or more. A Riverview-area contractor lists full rescreens starting around $2,500, and roof-only work from about $1,500. These are typical local ranges, not a quote from us. See the cost page for sources.
How long does a full rescreen take?
Many standard single-story cages are finished in about one to two days once the crew is on site, depending on size, height, and whether any frame or fastener work is needed. The provider will give you a schedule with your quote.
Is the quote request free?
Yes. There is no charge to request a quote, and you're under no obligation to book the work.
Which areas do you cover?
Riverview, Brandon, Valrico, Apollo Beach, Ruskin, Gibsonton, Sun City Center, Wimauma, Fish Hawk, Lithia, and nearby parts of Hillsborough County.
Should I repair a few panels or rescreen the whole cage?
If only a couple of panels are torn and the rest of the mesh is still strong, a repair may be enough. If the screen is faded, brittle, sagging, or failing in several places — common after 5 to 7 years in Florida sun — a full rescreen is often the better long-term value. The provider can walk through both options.
Do I need a permit?
Replacing mesh and fasteners on an existing enclosure is often treated as maintenance in Hillsborough County, but structural repairs or changes can be different. Ask the provider about your specific job.
What type of screen should I use?
Most cages use 18x14 fiberglass. 20x20 no-see-um mesh is a tighter weave for gnats and sand flies, pet screen is a heavier mesh for doors and lower panels, and Super Screen is a heavy-duty polyester upgrade some homeowners choose for longer wear. You can mix types on one cage. Read the screen types guide, then confirm specs and warranties with the provider.
