Before you schedule repairs, do a quick safety check around your pool enclosure or lanai. If you see loose panels, bent frames, or screens hanging low, keep people and pets away and avoid pushing anything back into place. In Jacksonville FL, storms can leave hidden stress in aluminum frames, so even “minor” sagging can worsen after the next rain.
Next, take 6 to 10 clear photos from multiple angles. Include close-ups of torn screen mesh, bent tracks, pulled corners, and any impact points near gates or door systems. If you have a pool, note whether the enclosure still seals properly, since airflow and debris control matter for day-to-day use.
Finally, write down what happened and when. Wind direction, the approximate time the enclosure was hit, and whether you heard rattling or impact help our team plan the right repair approach. This also speeds up documentation for insurance coordination when needed. ScreenWorks JAX LLC typically answers estimate requests within one business day, so you can move quickly without guessing.

Our repair path starts with an on-site evaluation. We look at frame alignment, corner connections, anchoring, and the screen system itself, not just the visible tear. That matters because a screen mesh replacement may not fix a pulled track or compromised corner joint after high winds in Jacksonville FL.

We’ll explain the repair versus replacement choice during the evaluation.
