Lakewood Ranch has more pool cages per mile than almost anywhere we drive. That is not a knock — it is why this page exists. Over the Top Screens runs enclosure rescreens, lanai repairs, window screens, and sliding glass door work through Lakewood Ranch all week from our Bradenton shop at 2901 42nd St W. We are not a “serving 40 cities” brand with a fake local office. Jared Freddes owns the company, has over 20 years in business and 25 years in the trade, and does not send subcontractors into your HOA. “Jared is excellent. He responded and came over the same day. The Screens came out great. I definitely recommend him.” — Chris M., Google review. That is the standard we bring to the next cage on the street. Call 941-414-0077 · Request a free estimate
What we see in Lakewood Ranch
Newer construction does not mean maintenance-free. Cages here take full sun. Roof panels chalk and split. Dogs use the lower walls as a door. Irrigation and pool chemistry do the rest. Common jobs:
- Pool enclosure rescreen — one bay or the whole cage, including roof panels
- Lanai screen repair on houses where the enclosed space is the living room you actually use
- Sliding glass door repair — rollers and tracks that have been eating grit off the lanai
- Patio screen installation when a covered patio was left open
- Aluminum screen enclosures if the structure, not just the mesh, is the issue
- Window screen repair after painters or a storm
HOA rules are real here. Gate codes, quiet hours, color, and whether a kick plate can change. Tell us what the association cares about on the first call so the quote matches what you can actually install.
Mesh for cages that sit in the sun
We spec materials for the job, not for a warehouse special:
- Fiberglass — still the right call for most Lakewood Ranch roofs and walls
- Pet mesh — lower walls on cages where the dog patrols the deck
- No-see-um — if you back up to a preserve or water and the gnats win at dusk
- Aluminum mesh — where extra toughness is worth the look
Spline and tension on a cage roof are not optional details. Slack roof panels hold water and fail. We stretch them.
Why a Bradenton shop for Lakewood Ranch
The drive is short. That matters when a panel blows out on a Tuesday and you do not want a vendor who “might have a crew in your area next week.” We estimate free, we schedule most work the same week, and the person who talked to you is responsible for the job. We are Fully insured. We are family-owned. We are not going to put a fake Lakewood Ranch street address on this page to trick a map pack. The shop is in Bradenton. The work is in your backyard. If you are comparing us to a national rescreen franchise, ask who is on the ladder and who warrants the spline. Our answer is the shop.
How a Lakewood Ranch job runs
You call or send photos through the form. For a cage we want a walk-around: roof, walls, doors, anything bent. You get a number before we order rolls. On a full rescreen we stage so the deck is not a dump, we work in sections, and we haul the old mesh out. You should be able to live in the house the whole time. Sliding doors onto those cages are often part of the same visit. A new screen wall next to a grinding slider is a half-finished job. Say so up front. Same for a pet door in a cage wall. If the Labrador is the reason you rescreen the same bay every year, we should talk about a door, not another sacrificial panel.
