Complete Rescreen in Neptune Beach, FL

Ocean salt off the Atlantic hits Neptune Beach pool cages harder than almost anywhere else in Duval County. Streets running west from the shoreline — 3rd, 4th, 5th — get constant onshore breezes that carry fine salt into spline grooves and aluminum frame joints before you can see the damage. Phifer 18x14 fiberglass mesh that might last a decade inland often shows UV-rot and pull-away from the spline here by year seven or eight.

Neptune Beach is 32266 — a compact beach community where lots run tight and pool cages can sit within feet of neighboring property lines. The housing stock is mostly mid-century concrete block and Florida bungalows, with screen enclosures added through the 1990s and early 2000s. Those cages are now 20-30 years old. Atlantic salt air and direct summer UV have worked through original anodized aluminum coatings and fiberglass mesh in most of them — and patchwork repairs at this stage just delay the inevitable full rescreen.
