Screen door repair cost, pool cage
Published Florida market ranges run $90–$180 for a door panel rescreen with a kickplate, and $250–$650 for a full door rebuild when the frame itself — not just the mesh — needs replacing. Kickplate replacement alone runs $80–$160. Other contractors’ published estimates, not this operator’s prices.

A national aggregator separately publishes $50–$150 for a “pool screen door replacement”, noticeably below every Orlando-metro and Florida contractor figure above — that figure most likely describes a simple mesh swap on an existing door frame rather than the door-rebuild scope in the $250–$650 row, and should not be blended with it.
Why the door is priced as its own category
The door is the highest-cycle panel on the cage — opening and closing hundreds of times a year while every other panel sits still — which is why it wears out, and fails, first. See why a screen door stops closing or latching for what to check before assuming it needs a full rebuild rather than a rescreen.
Questions people actually ask
What is the difference between a door rescreen and a door rebuild?
A rescreen replaces the mesh and, if needed, the kickplate on the existing door frame. A rebuild replaces the frame itself — needed when the frame has racked, bent or corroded rather than just the screen tearing. That is why rebuild pricing ($250–$650) runs well above a straight door rescreen ($90–$180).
