Apartment lanai screens take more abuse than most owners expect, wind-driven rain, pet damage, and constant door traffic. Raleigh Screens installs and repairs aluminum screen enclosures, screen walls, and rescreens using durable mesh, clean trims, and code-conscious attachment methods, with Raleigh service for property managers and owners.
We start by confirming what you have and what the building allows: aluminum frame type (3-inch or 4-inch extrusion), panel layout, door swing, and how the enclosure is anchored to slab, walls, or balcony rails. Our techs measure each opening, check for out-of-square corners, and document existing fasteners, rust, and water intrusion points. For repairs, we identify the root issue, bent rails, failed spline, loose corner keys, or torn mesh, so the fix lasts longer than a simple patch.
Central NC humidity, pollen, and summer storms punish lanai screening, so we match materials to the exposure and the tenant profile. Common upgrades include 18x14 fiberglass for balanced airflow and durability, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester for scratch zones, and 20x20 no-see-um mesh when insects are the main complaint. We use UV-stable spline, corrosion-resistant screws where appropriate, and tight, even screen tension to prevent belly, flutter, and premature tears. Finish details matter on multifamily work, clean miter cuts, straight cap runs, consistent fastener spacing, and neat sealant lines where the enclosure meets walls or rails.
Raleigh customers choose us because we work like a contractor, not a handyman. You get clear communication with property managers, scheduled access windows, and a written scope that lists mesh type, frame repairs, hardware replacements, and any re-anchoring needed. Our crews show up with the right equipment for lanai work, ladders, cordless drivers, spline rollers, screen cutting tools, and hardware assortments, so projects move without repeated trips and open panels.
At completion we do a walkthrough, check door latch alignment, verify panel fit, and confirm screens are seated fully in the spline channel with no gaps at corners. We clean up metal shavings and old mesh, and we note any framing or substrate issues that should be addressed by the building before they damage the new screens. You receive a free written estimate up front, material selections that match the use case, and a finished lanai screen enclosure that looks uniform from the exterior and performs for day-to-day tenant living.
Yes, we provide a free written estimate after an on-site measure so the scope and materials are clear.
Often, yes. We’ll identify your current frame system and mesh type, then recommend the closest match that performs well and is available.
Small repairs can be quick, while larger porches and multi-panel walls take longer due to prep, panel count, and door work. After we measure, we’ll give you a realistic timeline.
Yes. We can replace torn mesh, bent frame members, damaged doors, and compromised trim, and we’ll flag any structural issues that need carpentry before screening.
We’ll confirm payment options with your written estimate and invoice. If your project requires a deposit for custom materials, we’ll state that upfront.
If you manage or own multifamily property, apartment lanai screens are one of the fastest ways to improve comfort without changing the footprint of the unit. A tight, properly framed screen enclosure reduces insects, cuts wind-driven debris, and makes the lanai usable for storage and daily living while keeping the look consistent across the building. Raleigh Screens handles both new enclosure work and targeted repairs, from torn mesh and loose panels to door hardware and frame straightening, with materials chosen for real-world wear.
Most service calls for apartment lanai screens come down to a few repeating problems: mesh pulled out of the spline groove, impact tears from patio furniture, door sag that drags on the track, or fasteners that have loosened over time. We correct the cause first, then rescreen or rebuild the affected sections. That can include replacing worn spline, re-seating screen with proper tension, swapping damaged kick plates, adjusting hinges and closers, and replacing rusted hardware with corrosion-resistant options that hold up better in humid conditions.
For upgrades and replacements, we help you choose the right mesh for the building. Standard 18x14 fiberglass is a common choice for airflow and visibility. Pet-resistant mesh is best near doors and lower panels where scratches happen. If residents complain about small insects, 20x20 no-see-um mesh is a practical improvement, with the tradeoff of slightly reduced airflow. We also focus on neat finishing details like straight cap lines, tight corners, and clean transitions where the enclosure meets walls, slabs, or balcony rails.
Whether you need one unit repaired or multiple lanais updated across a property, the goal is the same: a durable, uniform screen enclosure that reduces complaints and holds up between turns. Share your panel sizes, photos, and access requirements, and we will provide a free written estimate and a clear scope for apartment lanai screens installation and repair in Raleigh.
