These are third-party market estimates, not our prices and not a quote. They are collected from published Florida and Orlando-area cost guides — two of the three sources are themselves screen contractors, and none of them is Longwood-specific. Longwood Rescreening's own per-panel and full-cage pricing is and will replace these ranges before launch.

Rescreening a lanai instead of a pool cage
Same job, usually fewer panels. Published ranges for a lanai or partial rescreen run $200–$900 (Absolute Aluminum) up to $800–$1,800 for a small lanai or screened porch under 20 panels (A Screen Repair) — effectively the same tier as the “small lanai / partial” row above.
What drives the total
- Panel count — the single biggest factor, and the reason every source prices by size tier or per square foot.
- Mesh choice — see the table above and the dedicated mesh cost page.
- Frame condition — on Longwood’s 40-to-55-year-old cage stock, fastener and spline-groove work often rides along with the rescreen. When that tips a repair into a full rescreen →
- Two-story or mansard geometry — more upper panels at the higher per-panel rate, common along the Markham Woods corridor.
No Longwood-specific published pricing exists anywhere in this research — every figure above is a third-party Florida or Orlando-area range. Longwood Rescreening’s own rate starts at $1.76 per square foot, installed — the real floor against the ranges above.

Searched ascost to rescreen pool cage in florida
Statewide guides put a full rescreen at roughly $1.50–$3.50 per square foot installed, with partial rescreens around $200–$900. By cage size, Orlando-area contractor guides run $800–$1,800 for a small lanai under 20 panels up to $2,800–$4,500+ for a large or two-story cage. Longwood tends toward the higher end of the labor side of that range more often than the low end, because the cages here are old enough that fasteners and spline grooves usually need attention at the same time as the mesh.
Searched ashow much is it to rescreen a lanai in florida
A lanai rescreen is priced the same way as a pool cage — by panel count or square footage — and usually lands in the smaller tier because a lanai has fewer panels than a full pool enclosure. Published ranges run $200–$900 for a partial rescreen (Absolute Aluminum) up to $800–$1,800 for a small lanai or screened porch under 20 panels (A Screen Repair, Orlando). Mesh choice and frame condition move the number the same way they do on a pool cage.
