FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a torn screen be repaired, or does it need full replacement?

It depends on the damage. Small tears in otherwise solid mesh can be patched. Larger tears, multiple holes, or brittle mesh usually call for rescreening the panel with fresh material. We assess the condition and give you an honest recommendation.

Do you repair retractable and motorized screens?

Yes. We service retractable screen systems including track issues, tension problems, and mesh replacement. For motorized screens, we troubleshoot motors, controls, wiring, and track components. As a Mirage Screen Systems dealer, we use genuine parts.

What causes screens to fail in Gainesville?

The biggest factors are storm damage from wind and debris, UV degradation that makes mesh brittle over time, humidity that corrodes frames, and physical impacts from pets, wildlife, or yard equipment. Most screen failures come from a combination of these.

How do you handle storm damage across a whole lanai enclosure?

We assess the full scope, checking every panel and frame section for damage and stress. Then we prioritize repairs based on severity and your budget. Sometimes it makes sense to address everything at once. Sometimes a phased approach works better.

Can you upgrade my screens to more durable materials during the repair?

Absolutely. If you're tired of replacing the same screens repeatedly, we can upgrade to pet-resistant mesh, heavier-duty materials, or different mesh types during the repair. It's a good opportunity to improve durability in high-stress areas.
