Screen and Pool Enclosures in Edgewater, FL
Screen and pool enclosures in Edgewater, FL have to hold up against something Altamonte Springs and most of inland Central Florida never deal with: salt air rolling off the Indian River Lagoon. Dulando Screen & Awning has been family owned and operated since 1968, and our Edgewater office builds and repairs pool screen enclosures, patio enclosures, and sunrooms for homeowners across Volusia County's fastest-growing coastal city.
Edgewater's mix of mature oak-covered lots and brand-new construction near Florida Shores and Edgewater Landing means no two projects look quite the same, and our team has built enclosures in both settings for close to six decades.

Why Homeowners Choose Dulando for Screen and Pool Enclosures in Edgewater, FL
Not every contractor building screen and pool enclosures in Edgewater, FL accounts for how close this city sits to open water. We build with Structall aluminum framing and Phifer screening, and aluminum's natural resistance to corrosion makes it a far better fit near the Indian River Lagoon than steel-framed alternatives that pit and rust within a few salt-air seasons.
We measure your space and talk through frame styles, roof options, and screen materials on-site.
We finalize your layout and file the required Volusia 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 Edgewater's Waterfront Air, Storms, and Oak Canopy
Older sections of Edgewater still carry the majestic oak trees the city is known for, and while they're beautiful, falling limbs and constant shade take a toll on screening over time. Add in the humidity and salt exposure that comes with living this close to the lagoon, and an enclosure built with the wrong materials can show wear years before it should. Our frames are engineered to meet Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, and for homeowners who want a clean, open view of the water 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 Edgewater, FL Built Around Your Yard
Lots in Edgewater vary more than in most Central Florida cities. A canal-front property in Florida Shores has different drainage and setback considerations than a newer build in West Edgewater or a home backing up to the Indian River. We design each enclosure to fit the existing slab, roofline, and property line rather than forcing a standard layout onto an irregular lot, and we offer both gable and mansard roof styles depending on how much headroom and rain runoff your space needs. On waterfront and canal properties in particular, we use marine-grade fasteners throughout the frame to slow corrosion from constant humidity and salt exposure.
Local Knowledge That Shapes Every Edgewater Installation
Edgewater has grown quickly over the past several years, and that growth shows up in two very different ways depending on where you live. Established neighborhoods like Florida Shores and the older riverfront lots along Riverside Drive tend to have mature tree canopy and enclosures that are decades old, while newer developments near Edgewater Landing and West Edgewater are going up with brand-new pools that need their first enclosure built from scratch.
Waterfront and Canal Lots
Homes near the Indian River Lagoon deal with more humidity and salt exposure, which accelerates corrosion on lower-quality frames.
Rapid New Construction
Growing areas like Florida Shores, West Edgewater, and Edgewater Landing bring a steady stream of new pools that need a first enclosure.
Hurricane and Flood Exposure
Coastal Volusia County sees more direct storm exposure than inland cities, which raises the stakes on wind-rated framing.
Mature Oak Canopy
Older sections of Edgewater still carry the large oak trees the city is known for, which means more debris and faster screen wear.
Between the lagoon and the surrounding wetlands, Edgewater sees its share of mosquitoes and no-see-ums, especially in the evenings. If regular fiberglass screen isn't cutting it, our breakdown of no-see-um screen versus regular screen covers what each option actually keeps out.
We also build enclosures throughout New Smyrna Beach just to the north and Port Orange a little further up the coast, so if you're comparing quotes across more than one property in the area, we can typically schedule both consultations on the same trip.
Living this close to open water also means hurricane season deserves real planning, not just a quick check the week before a storm. Our guide on hurricane preparedness for your pool and patio walks through what to do before wind and storm surge become a same-day problem.
Permits, Costs, and Planning Your Project
Permitting in Volusia County
Screen enclosures and pool cages in Edgewater require a permit through Volusia County's Building and Code Administration Division, not just city sign-off, and skipping that step can create real problems when you go to sell the home later. The Volusia County Permit and Zoning Center handles applications for screen enclosures and pool structures countywide, and our team pulls and manages that paperwork as part of every project. For more background 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 Edgewater?
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 enclosure in Edgewater needs a full rebuild, but salt air changes the math a little compared to inland cities. The table below covers the signs to look for, 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 shows light surface oxidation but no pitting | Frame has significant corrosion or pitting from salt air exposure |
| 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 outside, a well-maintained enclosure can also translate into added home value when it's time to sell, particularly in a market like Edgewater where new construction nearby is raising the bar on buyer expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a screen or pool enclosure in Edgewater?
Yes. Screen enclosures and pool cages in Edgewater require a permit through the Volusia County Building and Code Administration Division. Dulando Screen & Awning handles the permitting process as part of every installation, so you do not need to file it yourself.
How does salt air near the Indian River Lagoon affect a screen enclosure?
Salt air accelerates corrosion on lower-quality framing and fasteners faster than it would inland. We build with aluminum framing, which resists corrosion far better than steel, and use marine-grade fasteners on waterfront and canal properties for extra protection.
How long does a screen enclosure installation take in Edgewater?
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 through Volusia County typically adds the most variability to the overall timeline.
Can an older screen enclosure in Edgewater be rescreened instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the aluminum frame shows only light surface oxidation and no structural pitting, rescreening is usually the more cost-effective option. Frames with significant corrosion, storm damage, or that predate current wind-load codes generally need a full replacement instead.
Does Dulando serve new construction in Florida Shores and Edgewater Landing?
Yes. Our office is based in Edgewater, and we build enclosures for both established neighborhoods and new construction throughout Florida Shores, West Edgewater, and Edgewater Landing, along with nearby New Smyrna Beach and Port Orange.
How much does a pool enclosure cost in Edgewater?
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.
