Apartment lanai screens take a beating from sun, wind, and daily foot traffic, and one loose panel can turn into a tenant complaint fast. Serving since 2016, Baton Rouge Screens installs and repairs apartment lanai screen enclosures with clean lines, tight mesh, and hardware that holds up in Baton Rouge.
Every lanai starts with a quick site check and property coordination. We measure openings, frame squareness, and panel layout, then verify attachment points so screens stay secure without damaging existing aluminum, stucco, or masonry. For repairs, we identify the failure point first, spline shrinkage, torn mesh, bent rails, or loose fasteners, and match replacement parts to the existing system. When new framing is needed, we use aluminum extrusion sized for the span, lay out true corners, and pre-drill for straight, consistent fastener lines.
Louisiana humidity and storms demand materials that do not sag, rust, or loosen over time. We install quality screen mesh options like fiberglass insect screen, heavy-duty pet screen, and solar screen (typically 80-90% shade) for heat and glare control, then lock it in with new spline for even tension. Hardware is upgraded where it counts, stainless steel screws, corrosion-resistant corner keys, new pull tabs, and rollers or latches when panels are designed to move. We finish by aligning sightlines, sealing gaps at frame transitions, and checking door sweeps and closures so the enclosure feels tight and finished, not patched.
Property managers and owners choose us because we work like a screening contractor, not a handyman. You get consistent measuring, repeatable installs across multiple units, and repair methods that prevent call-backs, re-screening with correct spline diameter, replacing warped rails, and reinforcing stress points at corners. We schedule around tenant access, protect surrounding surfaces, and keep the work area clean, including old mesh and spline removal. When you need multiple lanais brought back to spec, we can standardize mesh type and color across the property for a uniform look.
At completion, we do a walkthrough and function check: panels sit square, mesh is drum-tight, fasteners are set cleanly, and doors open and latch smoothly. You receive a clear written estimate up front, plus a simple scope of work that lists mesh type, frame components replaced, and any hardware upgrades installed. We also note maintenance tips for on-site staff, like rinsing salt and pollen, keeping tracks clear, and watching for early spline shrinkage. The result is an apartment lanai screen enclosure that looks consistent, reduces insects, and holds up under daily use.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing the project scope, measurements, materials, and any needed frame or door repairs.
Small repairs can be completed quickly, while larger rescreens and enclosure work depend on access, frame condition, and material availability. After the on-site measure, we give you a realistic schedule.
In many cases, yes. We evaluate the existing mesh type, color, and weave and recommend the closest match, or an upgrade if the current mesh is failing prematurely.
Yes. We can replace torn panels, damaged spline, bent sections where feasible, and restore door operation, then advise if structural rebuild is the safer option.
Yes. We handle screening for commercial patios, outdoor seating, and shared spaces, with scheduling that reduces disruption and a clear written scope for property managers.
Apartment lanai screens are one of the fastest ways to cut down on insects, wind-blown debris, and tenant complaints, but only if the enclosure is built and repaired correctly. Baton Rouge Screens handles new installs and repairs for apartment lanai screen enclosures, from re-screening a single panel to restoring multiple units to a consistent standard. We focus on tight mesh tension, straight frames, and hardware that resists corrosion in Louisiana’s humid weather.
Most lanai issues trace back to a few causes: undersized spline that loosens, mesh that was not tensioned evenly, or frames that have been racked out of square. Our process starts with measuring the opening and checking rails and corners for bend or twist. If the frame is sound, we remove the old mesh and spline, clean the channel, and install new mesh with the correct spline diameter so it stays locked in place. If rails, corner keys, or fasteners are failing, we replace those components first so the screen repair lasts.
For new apartment lanai screen enclosure work, we lay out the framing so panels align, corners stay tight, and sightlines look uniform from unit to unit. We can match existing frame color and typical mesh types, or upgrade to heavier mesh where pets and high traffic are common. Solar screen can be a good choice for west-facing exposures where glare and heat build up, while heavy-duty fiberglass or pet screen helps reduce repeat tears.
Whether you manage one building or multiple properties, we keep the scope clear: what is being re-screened, what is being rebuilt, which hardware is replaced, and what mesh is being installed. If you need apartment lanai screens that look consistent, close properly, and hold up through the season, request a written estimate and we will get you a plan that fits your units and your schedule.
