Swimming Pool Screen Enclosure Cost????

[Solittle]

We may need to replace the enclosure over our pool due to hurricane Wilma. The screen is 22' wide by 46' long and 12' high with two doors - - nothing fancy.<br /><br />Any idea what one would cost??? Did you have one put in lately? Please indicate the area that you live in.

We lost the pool cage to Hurricane Charlie in August 2004. It took about one year and $10,000 to have it replaced. All costs (less deductible) were covered by insurance. The time was long because Charlie destroyed about 43,000 pool cages in the area and we just had to wait our turn to get the contractors to get to us. Material shortages were also a reason. Good luck. From what I hear, material costs have gone up since.

Hurricane last year also destroyed my pool enclosure. I just now had it replaced at a cost of $10,500. Just three years earlier, the pool enclosure only cost $5500 dollars. You will wait about one year <br /><br />My Mom's Insurance Company tried to depreciate her screen enclosure 70% because it was ten years old. I argued with her adjuster: "How in the hell does aluminum depreciate?" She finally got her money<br /><br />Get used to this hurricane stuff. I am a Florida native, and forcasters say these hurricanes will be common for the next ten years or so.

Well folks - get this - I was able to contact one outfit that was to busy to come to the house to give me an estimat. He did give me one over the phone though- - - - $22,500.00 for a complete enclosure measuring 22'W X 46'L X 12'H!!!! Not in this life thank you. I did find a guy who claims that he can repair tha damage to mine for $995.00. Not exactly a big decision.
