Screen and Pool Enclosures in Altamonte Springs, FL
Screen and pool enclosures in Altamonte Springs, FL are what Dulando Screen & Awning has built since 1968, and our main office still sits right in the city at 835 Sunshine Ln. We know the neighborhoods, the building codes, and the oak-heavy yards that make Seminole County different from the rest of Central Florida, because we have been working in them for almost 60 years. Whether you are screening in a lanai with a patio screen enclosure for the first time, rebuilding a rusted-out pool cage, or adding a sunroom, our crews design and install every project to hold up against Florida heat, storms, and everyday wear.
Dulando Screen & Awning, Inc. is family owned and operated, and that shows in how we treat every homeowner who calls. We would rather earn a sixth decade of trust in Altamonte Springs than cut corners to save a few dollars on materials.

Why Homeowners Choose Dulando for Screen and Pool Enclosures in Altamonte Springs, FL
Not every contractor building screen and pool enclosures in Altamonte Springs, FL uses the same quality of materials, and that difference shows up within a few Florida summers. We build with Structall aluminum framing and Phifer screening, including SuperScreen, SunTex, and pet-resistant options, so the enclosure still looks and performs like new well past the point where a cheaper build starts sagging or rusting.
We measure your space and talk through frame styles, roof options, and screen materials on-site.
We finalize your layout and file the required Seminole County permit on your behalf.
Most residential projects are built in one to three days once the permit is approved.
We inspect the finished enclosure with you before considering the job complete.
Built for Central Florida's Sun, Storms, and Oak Canopy
Altamonte Springs homes sit under a heavier tree canopy than a lot of newer Central Florida subdivisions, and that canopy means more falling debris, more shade-driven mildew, and faster screen wear than homeowners expect. Our frames are engineered to meet Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, and for homeowners who want an unobstructed view of the backyard rather than a full frame grid, we also build panoramic screen enclosures with fewer vertical support beams.
Family-Owned Craftsmanship Since 1968
Dulando Screen & Awning has been family owned and operated for close to six decades, and that continuity means the crew showing up at your home has the same training standards and product knowledge as the technicians who built enclosures here in the 1970s.

Designing Your Enclosure Around Your Property
Screen and Pool Enclosures in Altamonte Springs, FL Built Around Your Yard
No two lots in Altamonte Springs are laid out the same way, especially in older, tree-lined sections of the city where lanais and pool decks were often added after the original home was built. We design each enclosure to fit the existing slab, roofline, and setback rather than forcing a standard layout onto an irregular yard, and we offer both gable and mansard roof styles depending on how much headroom and rain runoff your space needs. Many homeowners pair a new pool cage with an aluminum awning over a nearby patio or entryway for extra shade without screening in that whole area.
Local Knowledge That Shapes Every Altamonte Springs Installation
Altamonte Springs has a distinct mix of housing stock, from the ranch-style homes built around Spring Oaks and Cranes Roost in the 1960s through 1980s to newer townhomes closer to Uptown Altamonte. Many of the original pool cages and lanai screens in these older neighborhoods are decades past their intended lifespan, and the mature oak canopy that makes streets like these so pleasant to live on is also what shortens the life of an aging screen enclosure.
Heavy Oak Canopy
Falling branches and shade-driven mildew wear down screens faster than in open, newer subdivisions.
Older Housing Stock
Many Altamonte Springs pool cages date to the 1960s through 1980s and are past their intended lifespan.
Seminole County Permits
Screen and pool enclosures require a county building permit, not just city approval.
Summer Storm Season
Afternoon storms along the I-4 corridor put real wind load on enclosures rated under older codes.
We also see a fair number of requests for pet-resistant screening in this part of Seminole County, since larger yards near parks like Eastmonte and Westmonte tend to come with equally large dogs. If you are unsure whether standard fiberglass screen or a heavier pet-resistant screen makes more sense for your household, our design team can walk you through both during your consultation.
Our service area extends beyond Altamonte Springs itself into neighboring Winter Park and Longwood, so if you split time between properties or are shopping around on behalf of family nearby, we can typically schedule consultations for both on the same trip.
Permits, Costs, and Planning Your Project
Permitting in Seminole County
Screen enclosures and pool cages in Altamonte Springs fall under Seminole County's building permit process, not just the City's own zoning rules, and skipping that step can create problems later when you go to sell the home. The Seminole County Building Division requires a permit to replace or install a screen enclosure, and our team pulls and manages that paperwork as part of every project so you are not stuck navigating it alone. If you want more detail before your consultation, our guide on permit requirements for pool enclosures breaks down what triggers a permit and what does not.
What Does a Screen or Pool Enclosure Cost in Altamonte Springs?
Pricing depends on square footage, roof style, and screen material, and it can shift noticeably between a simple patio screen and a full two-story pool cage with an insulated roof. Rather than guess, take a look at our screen enclosure cost guide for a realistic range before your free consultation, so the numbers we discuss on-site aren't the first ones you're seeing.
Repair, Rescreen, or Replace?
Not every aging enclosure in Altamonte Springs needs a full rebuild. The table below covers the signs to look for either way, and our full repair or replace decision guide goes into more detail if your situation falls somewhere in between.
| Signs You Can Rescreen | Signs You Need to Replace |
|---|---|
| Frame is still straight, with no visible rust | Frame is bent, corroded, or cracked |
| Screening is torn or loose, but the frame is intact | Storm damage has affected structural posts or beams |
| Only a few small holes from pets, debris, or age | Enclosure predates current wind-load code requirements |
Beyond curb appeal and bug-free evenings on the lanai, a well-maintained enclosure can also translate into added home value when it's time to sell, particularly in a market like Altamonte Springs where buyers are comparing older homes against newer construction nearby.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a screen or pool enclosure in Altamonte Springs?
Yes. Screen enclosures and pool cages in Altamonte Springs require a permit through the Seminole County Building Division. Dulando Screen & Awning handles the permitting process as part of every installation, so you do not need to file it yourself.
How long does a screen enclosure installation take in Altamonte Springs?
Most residential installations are completed within one to three days once the permit is approved, though larger pool cages or projects with custom roof designs can take longer. Permit review time in Seminole County typically adds the most variability to the overall timeline.
Can an older screen enclosure in Altamonte Springs be rescreened instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the aluminum frame is still straight and free of significant rust, rescreening is usually the more cost-effective option. Frames that have bent, corroded, or shifted after storm damage generally need a full replacement instead.
Does Dulando serve neighborhoods like Spring Oaks and Cranes Roost?
Yes. Our office is based in Altamonte Springs, and we regularly work throughout Spring Oaks, Cranes Roost, and the surrounding Seminole County neighborhoods, along with nearby Winter Park and Longwood.
What screen material holds up best against Altamonte Springs' oak tree canopy?
For yards with heavy oak coverage, a heavier-gauge screen such as Phifer SuperScreen resists tears from falling debris better than standard fiberglass insect screen. If pets are also a factor, a pet-resistant screen adds even more durability without sacrificing airflow.
How much does a pool enclosure cost in Altamonte Springs?
Cost depends on the size of the enclosure, the roof style, and the screen material chosen, and it can range widely between a basic patio screen and a fully insulated two-story pool cage. A free in-home consultation is the most accurate way to get a number specific to your home.
