Warranty
2 year warranty on pet screen material
Lincolnville and Davis Shores homeowners deal with the same problem constantly — standard 18x14 fiberglass mesh blown out by a dog within a season. The historic neighborhoods in 32084 have pool cages from the late 1980s and early 1990s, and those frames were never spec'd for a 70-pound dog running at the lower panels daily. Upgrading to Phifer 7x7 vinyl-coated polyester pet screen with a 24-inch kick-plate at the base is the only fix that actually holds season after season.
Most of St. Augustine's older housing stock sits in 32084 and 32086, where Florida pool cages from the 1980s and 1990s still stand on slab foundations using standard hollow 2x2 aluminum tubing. These frames weren't built with pet households in mind. The newer master-planned communities along the 32092 corridor — World Golf Village, Shearwater, Palencia — have larger lanai cages with strict HOA color-match requirements, which means pet screen rescreens need to match existing anodized bronze or white frame finishes exactly.
Common Pet Screen Installation Issues in St. Augustine
Lower Panels Torn Out by Dogs Before the First Season Ends
Repeat calls from 32084 households almost always involve the same thing: two or three lower panels completely destroyed by a dog within months of a standard rescreen. Regular fiberglass stretches, tears, then fails at the spline groove under repeated impact. Replacing those sections with 7x7 vinyl-coated polyester Phifer pet screen — and adding a 36-inch kick-plate kit below — stops the cycle permanently. No patch fixes this. The mesh has to change.
Salt Air Destroying Coastal Cage Fasteners on Anastasia Island
Davis Shores and the beachside streets in 32080 sit close enough to the Matanzas Inlet that salt air corrodes anchor bolts and corner brackets within a few years. On older frames, the spline groove oxidizes and makes seating new spline nearly impossible without a partial frame repair. Coastal rescreens using BetterVue or Phifer HurrCane mesh require stainless fasteners, not standard galvanized hardware — the difference in lifespan is substantial.
Post-Matthew Mesh Now Sun-Rotted and Failing Under Pet Pressure
Hurricane Matthew hit St. Augustine hard in October 2016. Homeowners across 32084 and 32086 replaced their cages that fall or the following spring using standard 18x14 fiberglass. After nine years of intense Florida UV and humidity, that mesh is brittle and sun-rotted. Add a dog household and those lower panels are already compromised. TexTreme or Phifer pet screen is the right full-cage upgrade material at this point — not another round of standard fiberglass.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to St. Augustine for pet screen installation?▼
We run regular crews to St. Augustine from Jacksonville — 32084, 32086, and 32080 are same-day or next-morning in most cases. Call (904) 679-9509 to check the schedule. Most lower-panel pet screen replacements are completed in a single visit.
Do you use name-brand pet screen mesh or a generic material?▼
Phifer is our standard install on all pet screen jobs — their 7x7 vinyl-coated polyester mesh is the industry benchmark for durability. We also carry BetterVue for improved visibility and TexTreme for households with multiple large dogs. All three hold up where standard 18x14 fiberglass fails within a season.
How much does a pet screen rescreen cost in St. Augustine, and what's the warranty?▼
Cost depends on panel count, cage size, and whether a kick-plate kit is needed. Partial lower-panel replacements on a standard 32084 lanai run differently than a full-cage rescreen on a larger World Golf Village property. Get a free on-site estimate — we'll quote same-day. All pet screen installations carry a 2-year workmanship warranty.
