If your lanai screen enclosure is sagging, torn, or rattling in the wind, we can rebuild it to feel tight and finished again. Elite Screens New Orleans has served New Orleans since 2017, handling new installs and repairs with clean lines, strong corners, and screens that fit right.
Every lanai screen enclosure job starts with a site check and measurements, so panels stay square and doors swing true. We inspect existing framing for corrosion, loose fasteners, and out-of-plumb posts, then confirm attachment points into structural members, not just fascia or thin trim. For repairs, we identify the root cause (failed spline, bent rails, damaged kick plate, or a loose hinge side) before we re-screen anything. When replacement framing is needed, we match the system with heavy-duty aluminum extrusions, stainless-steel screws, and correct spline diameter for the mesh you choose.
Local heat, humidity, and storm-driven gusts demand hardware that holds tension and resists rust. We use UV-stable screen mesh options, including fiberglass 18x16, pet-resistant mesh, and no-see-um 20x20 for smaller insects, then roll new spline to keep edges locked without waves. High-wear openings get reinforced corners, new closers, and fresh weatherstripping where applicable, so the enclosure seals and operates smoothly. You also get clean detailing, straight sightlines, and properly tensioned panels that do not drum or flap under typical wind load.
New Orleans customers choose us because we do the fundamentals correctly and document the scope before work begins. You get a free written estimate, clear material options, and a plan that fits your enclosure style, whether it is a simple patio wrap or a full lanai screen enclosure with multiple bays, doors, and transitions. Our crews show up with the right equipment to keep work clean and consistent, including screen rolling tools, miter saws for precise cuts, and stainless fastener kits for coastal humidity. We stay focused on durability, using proven methods for straight frames, tight spline channels, and secure anchors that reduce call-backs.
After installation or repair, we do a full walkthrough with you and test every opening, latch, and panel for fit and tension. We check for sharp edges, bowed rails, light gaps at corners, and fastener heads that could snag screens, then clean up and haul off old mesh and damaged parts. You receive a clear summary of what was replaced (mesh type, spline, hardware, and any framing), plus care tips for rinsing, avoiding harsh chemicals, and spotting early wear. If you are planning additional upgrades, we can quote add-ons like screen doors, pet doors, kick plates, and panelized sections designed for easier future servicing.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after measuring and confirming mesh type, frame condition, and attachment method.
In most cases, yes. We’ll identify the closest mesh type (fiberglass, aluminum, solar, pet-resistant) and match common colors like charcoal or black for consistent visibility.
We do both. If the frame is bent, corners are loose, or tracks and rollers are worn, we can repair or replace components so the new screen performs correctly.
Timing depends on enclosure size, number of panels, and whether framing repairs are needed. After an on-site measure, we’ll give a clear schedule with expected start and completion dates.
Yes. We work with property managers and businesses on patio enclosures, entry screening, repairs, and repeatable maintenance plans with consistent specs.
A lanai screen enclosure should block mosquitoes, reduce debris, and let you use your patio comfortably without feeling sealed in. When mesh tears, spline loosens, or frames rack out of square, the enclosure stops doing its job and doors start sticking. Elite Screens New Orleans installs and repairs lanai screen enclosure systems with durable materials, tight screen tension, and hardware selected for humidity, salt air, and frequent rain.
Installation starts with layout, plumb and square checks, and solid attachment planning. We measure openings precisely, verify framing straightness, and correct problem areas before new mesh goes in. For re-screens, we remove failed spline, clean the spline channel, and re-tension new mesh so it lays flat without waves. Where framing is compromised, we replace bent rails, worn corners, and damaged door components to restore rigidity.
Repairs are not one-size-fits-all. A torn panel may only need new mesh and spline, while a sagging bay can point to loose anchors, racked posts, or warped door jambs. We troubleshoot common failure points such as corner creep, hinge-side movement, and screen pullout at high-traffic openings. The goal is a lanai screen enclosure that looks neat, feels solid, and stands up better to everyday use and changing weather.
To finish, we verify panel tension, smooth operation, and clean edges, then walk you through what was done and what to watch for next. You will know the mesh type installed, the hardware replaced, and how to maintain it with simple rinsing and periodic checks. If you want added durability or comfort, we can quote upgrades like pet-resistant panels, tighter insect mesh, kick plates, and new screen doors.
