A screen enclosure is the most Florida piece of pool construction there is: it keeps out mosquitoes, no-see-ums, palm fronds, and most of the leaf load that would otherwise end up in your skimmer, while letting the breeze through. CoastLife Pools builds new pool enclosures and rescreens existing ones across Martin County, Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, and down to Jupiter.

For a typical Martin County pool, a new screen enclosure runs $20K+ depending on footprint, roof style, and screen selection. Oversized decks, two-story screens, and premium mesh push it higher.

New Screen Enclosures

A new enclosure is an engineered aluminum structure, permitted and inspected, anchored to your deck and designed for local wind loads. We plan the enclosure with the deck, not after it, so posts land on proper footings and door locations match how you actually move between the house, the pool, and the yard. Roof styles range from flat and shed panels to gable and dome profiles that add height over the pool. Screen choices matter more than most owners expect:

Standard mesh: the default, good visibility and airflow, keeps out insects and debris.
Fine mesh: tighter weave that stops no-see-ums, worth it near the river and the preserves.
Privacy and shade screen: denser weave on selected walls to cut afternoon sun or block a neighbor’s sight line.

Building a new pool? An enclosure designed into the pool project shares the same deck plan and inspection schedule, and the screen goes up before the yard is landscaped instead of over it.

Rescreening vs a New Enclosure

Screen panels wear out long before the aluminum frame does. If your cage is structurally sound but the mesh is torn, brittle, or sagging, rescreening replaces every panel and the spline that holds it, at a fraction of the cost of a new structure. We also replace individual blown-out panels, doors, hardware, and corroded fasteners.

The honest dividing line: if the frame is straight, anchors are tight, and cables or bracing are intact, rescreen it. If posts have shifted, anchors have pulled from the deck, or the frame has been bent by a storm, patching mesh onto a compromised structure wastes money, and we will tell you so before you spend it. After a storm, have the frame checked even if the screens look fine; our hurricane pool prep guide covers what to do before and after a blow.

Your Enclosure Is Part of the Pool Barrier

Under Florida’s Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, every residential pool must have at least one approved safety barrier feature, and a screen enclosure is one of the ways to meet it. To count as a barrier, the enclosure and its doors have to actually function: self-closing, self-latching doors with latches out of a small child’s reach, and screening in sound condition. A cage with a propped-open door or a torn lower panel is not a barrier, it is a liability.

This is also a real estate issue. When a home with a pool is sold, barrier compliance comes up in the inspection, and enclosure condition is part of what our inspectors document in a certified pool inspection, from $225. Buying or selling a home with a caged pool in Martin County? Have the enclosure inspected with the pool, not discovered at the walk-through.

Enclosures and Everything Around Them

Screen walls meet pavers, kitchens, and lighting, so we build them as part of the whole outdoor living plan: patios and driveways, decks and coping, and outdoor kitchens under the same roof line of one company.

How long does a rescreen take?

A full rescreen is scheduled as soon as materials are on site. Individual panel repairs are usually same-visit work. New enclosures take longer because engineering, permitting, and inspection are involved; we give you the schedule with the quote.

Does a screen enclosure satisfy the Florida pool barrier law?

Yes, a screen enclosure in good condition can serve as your pool’s required safety barrier under Florida law, provided its doors are self-closing and self-latching. Torn panels or a non-latching door break compliance, which is one reason to fix screen damage promptly.
