Custom Screen Projects in Macclenny, FL

Macclenny sits about 30 miles west of Jacksonville on I-10 — typically 35-40 minutes from our home base depending on traffic near the Duval/Baker County line. Custom project estimates usually schedule within 2-3 business days of your call. Fabrication and installation timelines depend on project complexity. Most carport conversions and outdoor kitchen screens take 1-3 weeks from signed contract to installation, once Baker County's building department clears the permit. Call (904) 679-9509 to get on the schedule. We bring a tape measure and camera to every estimate, walk every corner of the project area, and leave a written quote before heading back down I-10.

Pricing on custom projects is driven by three factors: linear footage of new aluminum frame required, ceiling height, and the mesh grade you choose. Carport conversions in Baker County typically run $6,000-$10,000 for mid-size structures. Gable-end builds on two-story homes start around $10,000 and climb based on roofline complexity — elevated frames require scaffolding plus custom-fabricated ridge cap and rake fasteners. Motorized retractable screens add $800-$2,500 per opening. Pet screen upgrades add roughly $0.40-$0.60 per square foot over standard 18x14 fiberglass. We don't quote custom work over the phone. Every project gets a free on-site estimate with pricing written out line by line. Call (904) 679-9509 to schedule yours.

Yes — permit handling is built into every custom project quote. Baker County requires a full permit package for any new enclosed structure: site plan with setbacks, structural drawings showing hurricane tie-down and anchor bolt specs, and material data sheets for the frame and mesh. Review typically takes 3-4 weeks, sometimes longer during summer peak. P&D Screen Repair (contractor license #1136541) prepares all permit documents, submits to Baker County's building department, and schedules the final inspection. On agricultural-zoned parcels in the 32040 zip code, setback requirements differ from standard residential lots. We identify those differences at the estimate stage before anything gets submitted, so there are no surprises mid-project.

Yes. The key question is whether the existing slab has enough depth to accept anchor bolts — we need at least 4 inches of concrete to core-drill and set post anchors properly. Older pads from the 1970s and 1980s are common on Baker County properties, and some don't meet that threshold. We check slab depth at the estimate and tell you upfront if reinforcement is needed. Venting is the other piece. Enclosing a spa without a vented ridge cap at the peak accelerates corrosion in the spline groove and corner bracket joints within a few seasons. Marine-grade anodized aluminum frame stock is standard on all spa enclosures we build — it holds up in that moisture environment far better than standard powder-coated aluminum.

All frame and hardware work on custom projects carries a 1-year workmanship warranty. Mesh warranty depends on the grade installed: 18x14 standard fiberglass is covered for 1 year, while super screen (20x20) and pet screen (7x7 vinyl-coated polyester) carry a 2-year workmanship warranty. Phifer's manufacturer warranty covers material defects in their mesh separately from our labor coverage. Physical damage from storm debris, falling limbs, or ladder strikes falls outside workmanship warranty. We document all pre-existing conditions and storm damage in writing at the start of every job — that documentation matters if you need to file a homeowner's insurance claim after a Baker County storm event.
