J2HD LLCPool cage & lanai screening — Sarasota, FL

The west wall always goes first.

Six years of afternoon sun dries the spline, the spline backs out of the groove, and the next storm takes the panel. We rescreen and repair pool enclosures across Sarasota and Manatee counties — panel by panel or the whole cage.

What we do

Screen enclosures only. We are not a general contractor and we do not build new cages from scratch — we keep the ones that are already standing usable, which on the Gulf Coast is a full-time job.

Panel repair

Storm damage, dog damage, a branch through the roof panel. We stabilize the same day when the weather is coming and finish on schedule.

from $38 per panel

Full cage rescreen

Every panel out, frame cleaned, new spline throughout. A typical 30x40 enclosure runs 46 to 60 panels and takes two days.

from $1,850

Structural repair

Corroded uprights, failed deck anchors, beam runs on two-story cages. Includes new anchor and sealing at the deck penetration.

upright $310 · beam from $1,240

Kickplate

Solid panel along the bottom track so pets and lawn equipment stop going through the mesh. Cuts your repeat repairs sharply.

$17 per linear foot

Which mesh you actually want

This is the decision that determines how the cage feels for the next eight years, and most people make it in ten seconds at the estimate. Worth two minutes.

18/14 fiberglass — standard

What is on most cages around here. Good airflow, cheapest to replace, lets no-see-ums straight through at dusk. Fine if you are not out there at 7pm in June.

No-see-um 20/20

Tighter weave stops the midges coming off the bay. Costs about 22 percent more installed because it is slower to work and it tears if you rush the spline roller. Worth it on Siesta Key and anywhere near mangroves.

Pet-resistant

Heavy vinyl-coated polyester, usually only on the bottom row of panels. Most people pair it with kickplate rather than doing the whole cage.

How a job runs

  • We come measure. Panel count, frame condition, anchor condition, mesh choice — on site, not over the phone.
  • You get a written scope: panel count, mesh type, any structural member being replaced, and a fixed price.
  • Deposit is receipted. Material is ordered against your scope.
  • If a panel comes off and there is rot or corrosion underneath that we could not see, we stop and get a signed change order before continuing. No surprises on the invoice.
  • Final walk-through with you on the deck before the last payment.

About J2HD

The name is initials — mine and my brother-in-law's. We registered the LLC in 2020 with no imagination whatsoever and it stuck, because changing an LLC name in Florida means new filings, a new bank card and re-lettering the truck, and none of that hangs a single screen panel. Two trucks, both out of Sarasota, working Sarasota and Manatee counties.

Customers

Half the west side of our cage was flapping after the August storm. They came out the next morning, strapped what was loose so it would not tear more, and came back Thursday to do the whole wall properly.

I asked for the cheap screen. He talked me through why the no-see-um was worth it where we are, near the mangroves, and did not push when I said do half now. Came back in the spring for the rest.

— Rob D., Nokomis

Two uprights were rusted through at the deck and another company told me I needed a whole new cage. J2HD replaced the two posts and re-anchored them for a fraction of that. Three years on, still solid.
