Sleepy Lagoon is an established bayside neighborhood on the north half of Longboat Key, single-family homes on canals and the lagoon, many of them older ground-level houses with newer elevated ones mixed in. The water is close and the mangrove fringe is closer, which sets the two problems a lanai has here: midges at dusk and salt at the screws. Siesta Key Lanai Screens connects Sleepy Lagoon homeowners with a local screen contractor.
The Culicoides no-see-um breeds in salt marsh and mangrove edge and passes straight through standard 18/14 mesh, but not 20/20. A no-see-um mesh upgrade is the change Sleepy Lagoon owners tend to ask about first. Where a cage has been patched over the years, screen panel repair and a full pool cage rescreening are different jobs, and the in-person estimate sorts out which one fits.
Because these are single-family homes, mesh and color are usually the owner's call. The Town of Longboat Key runs its own building division; mesh-only work usually does not need a permit, and frame work does.
Call (941) 555-0100 and a free in-person estimate in Sleepy Lagoon is on the calendar.
Full or partial mesh replacement on aluminum pool enclosures. Walls, roof panels, or the whole cage, with mesh matched to Gulf-side or bay-side exposure.
One-time renewal of every screw connection in the cage with marine-grade stainless steel. Ends the rust streaks at the screw heads that salt air starts early on the islands.
20/20 tight-weave mesh for bayfront and mangrove-edge lanais where standard screen lets biting midges through. Fitted where it matters, not everywhere.
Rescreening for under-truss lanais, screened porches, and patio rooms. New mesh and spline, door panels and kick plates renewed at the same visit.
Single-panel and small-set repairs for torn mesh, blown spline, and sagging sections. Mesh matched to the existing weave and color so repairs do not checkerboard.
Laminated Florida glass and privacy mesh for boundary walls, lower panels, and Gulf-facing openings. Softer light, no sightline from next door, less spray on the deck.
Denser shade-factor mesh for west- and Gulf-facing cage walls. Cuts afternoon heat and glare in the existing screen channels while the rest of the cage keeps its airflow.
