Lanai and screen enclosure painting in Tampa is the aluminum frame. Chalk, fade, and light rust on a straight lanai or patio screen room are a wash, a rust treatment, and a coating. Torn mesh is a screen company, after that coating has cured. A bent, split, or rusted-through tube is replacement, and paint does not fix it.
Westchase Painting Company paints the frame. A screen company installs the mesh, on its own visit and its own price, after the coating has cured. Sound mesh can stay and be masked.
Lanai, patio enclosure, or pool cage
A lanai and a patio screen room use the same aluminum and the same direct-to-metal coating as a pool cage. They do not sit in chlorine the way a cage over a pool does, so the rust work is often lighter. People saying screen enclosure painting usually mean this frame, with the mesh still part of the question.
The pool jobs stay on their pages. Paint-only steps, including two-story cages that need scaffolding, are on pool cage painting in Tampa. The decision between a sound frame, a dead screen, and a failed member, plus the market ranges already published for that work, is on pool cage restoration in Tampa. This page does not publish a second price list.
What the visit includes
- Screen comes off when it is torn, when the spline is loose, or when overspray would ruin mesh you planned to keep. Sound screen can stay. It is masked, and only the frame is painted.
- The frame is washed. Light rust is treated. Screws with a rust ring are replaced with stainless fasteners, the same sequence used on pool cages.
- The coating goes on the aluminum. New mesh, if the screen is finished, waits until that coating has cured.
- A bent beam or a split member is called out on the estimate. Those parts are replaced before paint.
Where the frames are
The enclosures this crew paints are in Westchase, Carrollwood, South Tampa, Oldsmar, and Odessa.
Can a lanai or screen enclosure be repainted?
Yes, when the tubes are straight and the failure is chalk, fade, or light rust. The frame is washed, light rust is treated, and the coating goes on the aluminum. Screws with a rust ring are replaced with stainless fasteners, the same sequence used on pool cages.
A bent beam, a split member, or a tube rusted through is replacement. Paint does not straighten that metal. Those parts are called out on the estimate and replaced before any coating.
Chalk is the white dust that wipes off on a hand. Fade is the bronze or white that no longer matches the house trim. Light rust is a stain at a screw or a joint. A tube you can push through, or a beam that is bent, is called out for replacement before the coating is scheduled.
What lanai painting costs in Tampa
This page does not publish a second price list. The ranges already in print for a straight repaint, a rescreen, paint plus new mesh, and a replacement live on pool cage restoration in Tampa. A lanai uses that same published set. It does not get a new dollar table.
What moves the number on a screen room is the size of the frame, how much rust is on the tubes, whether sound mesh can stay and be masked, and whether a member has to be replaced before paint. New mesh, when it is due, is a screen company's visit and a screen company's price, after the coating has cured.
The dollar bands stay on the restoration page: a straight repaint, a rescreen, paint plus new mesh, and a replacement. A one-story frame with sound mesh is priced from the straight-repaint range on that page. Mesh that has to come off is the rescreen line on that same page. A failed member is the replacement range, also on that page. Bring the width of the screen room and whether the mesh is staying.
A torn lanai screen is a different trade
People ask how to fix a broken lanai screen. Westchase Painting Company does not install mesh and does not splice a torn panel. If the mesh is torn or the spline is loose, a screen company puts new mesh on after the coating has cured. Sound mesh can stay. It is masked, and only the frame is painted.
Paint-only steps for a cage over a pool, including two-story cages that need scaffolding, stay on pool cage painting in Tampa. A lanai usually has less chlorine exposure, so the rust work is often lighter. The aluminum and the coating are the same.
A small hole in one panel is still a screen-company repair if that panel is being replaced. Masking keeps paint off mesh you are keeping. It does not close a tear. Book the screen visit after the coating has cured so the new spline is not pressed into wet paint.
Patio enclosure painting, and a new enclosure
Patio enclosure painting is this service when the aluminum frame is already up. The visit coats that frame. It does not build a new screen room and it does not pull a permit to enclose an open patio. A question about adding a screen enclosure to a pool, or about a permit to enclose a lanai, is a construction question for the screen company that would build it.
If a member on the existing frame has failed, that replacement is still outside the paint visit. The screen company does that work. The coating waits until the tubes that remain are straight.
The estimate notes whether the frame is one story or the beam needs a ladder, and whether furniture has to move off the slab. Mesh that is coming off should be down before the paint morning, so the crew is coating metal. The rooms on this page are in Westchase, Carrollwood, South Tampa, Oldsmar, and Odessa.
