Screw Changeouts in Port Charlotte, FL

Protect Your Pool Cage & Enclosure with Rust-Resistant Hardware

The Florida climate is tough on screened enclosures. Heat, humidity, and salty air cause screws and hardware to rust, stain, and weaken over time. Rusty screws don’t just look bad — they compromise the strength of your pool cage or patio enclosure. At Elite Screening, we provide professional screw changeouts to restore safety and extend the life of your outdoor structures.

Based in Port Charlotte, FL, we specialize in replacing worn or corroded fasteners with stainless steel and ceramic-coated screws designed to resist rust. Our careful process ensures that your enclosure not only looks better but also remains safe, sturdy, and secure for years to come.

Why Screw Changeouts Are Important

Every screened enclosure is held together by hundreds — sometimes thousands — of screws. Over time, those screws are exposed to constant moisture, chlorine from pools, and salt from coastal air. Left unchecked, rust and corrosion spread, leading to:

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should screws be replaced in a pool cage?

Most enclosures need a screw changeout every 7–10 years, depending on exposure and materials.

Do you replace every screw, or just the rusty ones?

We recommend replacing all screws to ensure consistency, strength, and long-term protection.

Will new screws prevent future rust stains?

Yes. Stainless steel and ceramic-coated screws are far more resistant to rust and staining than standard hardware.
