How Long Does a Pool Cage Rescreen Take?

As a general expectation, not a quote: a single panel is under an hour. A mid-size pool cage, 20 to 40 panels, is commonly a full day. A larger or two-story cage, or a job that turns into a full restoration with frame work, can run multiple days. The variables, roughly in order of how much they move the number:

• Fastener condition. On a cage built with the house in the 1970s or 1980s — a meaningful share of Casselberry's housing stock — some percentage of the original screws will strip or shear rather than back out clean. Every one of those adds drilling and re-tapping time that a size-based estimate does not account for.
• Roof access. Roof panels take longer per panel than wall panels because of the access equipment and the tension work being done overhead.
• Panel count and reach. The straightforward variable — more panels, more time, roughly linearly once mobilization is accounted for.
• Weather. Florida's afternoon storm pattern can push a job an extra day without anything having gone wrong on site.
