Lanai Screen Enclosure Upgrades in Melbourne, FL
Most Brevard County homes have screen enclosures. Many were installed years ago with basic fiberglass screening. They keep bugs out — but they don't block much heat, they don't create privacy, and they wear out.
We upgrade existing screen enclosures with solar mesh panels, privacy screening, and motorized retractable systems. The result is an outdoor living space that's genuinely usable year-round — not just on perfect-weather days.
Solar Mesh Upgrades
Standard screen mesh lets in most sunlight and heat. Solar mesh fabrics block 70–90% of solar heat gain while still letting in air and maintaining reasonable visibility through the screen. This single upgrade can make a covered lanai dramatically more comfortable during Melbourne's long summer season.
The re-screening process uses your existing aluminum frame. We remove old panels, measure, cut, and install new solar mesh with a clean spline fit. No frame replacement needed in most cases — just better material in the same structure.
Privacy Upgrades
Homes in tighter neighborhoods or backing up to common areas benefit from higher-density screen panels on specific sides of the enclosure. We can mix screen types — open mesh on the view side, privacy mesh where you need visual separation.
Motorized Panel Systems
Some upgrades include adding motorized retractable screen panels to existing enclosure openings. This creates zones that can open fully for air and unobstructed views, then close for privacy and bug protection when needed.
Pool Enclosure Upgrades
Pool cage enclosures can be upgraded the same way as patio screen enclosures. Solar mesh panels over the pool area reduce heat gain above the water. This also helps with pool chemical stability and evaporation rates — a practical benefit beyond comfort.
