Screen Enclosure Specialists LLC · North Florida
Compare screen enclosure quotes line by line.
Two bids can describe different jobs. One may replace only screen while another includes worn fasteners or a problem door. For a new enclosure, the roof, base and permit work can differ too. Before choosing by the total, ask each contractor to put the same scope in writing.
Know what the bid covers.
This pool enclosure has a screen roof, walls and paved deck. Ask which of those parts your own bid includes.
Five lines to compare before you pick a bid
Ask for the same details from each company. A lower total can be reasonable, but you need to know what it buys.
1. Which screen and which panels?
For rescreening, ask whether the bid covers the roof, every wall, the doors, or only named panels. Ask which mesh is included. Standard 18/14 and finer 20/20 screen solve different insect problems; compare the mesh choices before treating them as interchangeable.
2. What happens to old hardware?
Ask whether worn fasteners, loose connections, door hardware and damaged frame sections are being checked, replaced or left in place. SES uses stainless fasteners when replacing enclosure fasteners. The useful question is whether the connection and surrounding frame are sound, not just what metal the new screw is made from.
3. What structure is included?
For a new build or rebuild, compare the footprint, height, doors, screen roof or solid roof, and any frame work. A bid for screen walls under an existing roof is different from a bid that builds a new roof. If an existing enclosure is involved, have the contractor identify what stays and what is replaced.
4. Who handles the base and permits?
Ask which slab, paver or footing work is included. Ask which permits the contractor handles and what your HOA needs from you. Requirements vary by address and scope. Verify license numbers at myfloridalicense.com (ours: SCC131153585).
5. What is still undecided?
Ask each contractor to list allowances, exclusions and site conditions that could change the quote. The written scope should also tell you how changes are agreed to, so a repair discovered during work does not become a surprise.
The site visit settles measurements, condition and the final scope.

For a few torn panels
You do not need to measure every screened side to start. Tell us roughly how many panels are torn, where they are, and whether a door, frame or connection is also giving trouble. That gives us a better basis for a targeted repair quote than a whole-side rescreening range.
For a new enclosure or larger rescreen
Our online tool can give an approximate starting amount for larger work. The site visit settles measurements, condition and the final scope. Bring any competing written bids if you want us to explain how the work differs; we can quote the job we actually see.
