Screen Enclosures in Ortega

Ortega and Ortega Forest are among Jacksonville’s most historic and sought-after addresses — established riverside neighborhoods defined by gracious homes, mature oak canopy, and the Ortega River’s connection to the St. Johns. Many Ortega homes date from the mid-twentieth century and carry pools and outdoor living spaces that have been central to the property for decades.

Kish Enclosures builds new screen enclosures and pool cages in Ortega — and we specialize in tear-downs and rebuilds of aging enclosures that have reached the end of their useful life. Wayne and JT Kish manage every Ortega project personally.

Pool screen enclosures and pool cages — Custom pool cages designed to complement Ortega’s architecture.

Patio and porch screen enclosures — Turn your patio into a true year-round outdoor room.

Screened lanais — One of the most popular outdoor upgrades in Florida.

Tear-downs and rebuilds — When an existing enclosure is storm-damaged or past its prime, we demo and rebuild to current Florida building codes.

Rescreening and screen repair — If your frame is sound but the mesh is worn or torn, we rescreen individual panels or the entire enclosure.

Motorized screens and louvered pergolas — We install motorized retractable screens and LouveRoof louvered pergola systems.

Paver installation — We install pavers alongside your screen enclosure so you can upgrade your entire outdoor space in one project.

Quarterly screen enclosure gutter cleaning & inspection — Covering gutter channels, screen condition, frame integrity, screws, and hardware — for any enclosure in Ortega, regardless of who built it.

Ortega’s older housing stock means many homeowners are dealing with enclosures that have been rescreened multiple times but whose aluminum framing is now corroding, bending out of plumb, or failing at the joints and anchors. We’ll give you an honest, on-site assessment of whether repair or rebuild is the right call.

We also serve homeowners throughout the broader Duval County area — including Epping Forest, Mandarin and surrounding communities.

Do I need a permit for a screen enclosure in Duval County?

Yes — all screen enclosure structures in Duval County require a building permit and must be engineered to Florida wind load requirements.

How long does installation take?

Most installations take one to three days on-site once permits are approved. The permitting process typically takes two to four weeks from submission.

How do I know if my aging Ortega screen enclosure needs a repair or a full rebuild?

Signs that point toward a full rebuild: aluminum frames that are visibly corroding, bowing, or no longer plumb; fasteners and anchors that no longer hold securely; screen mesh that keeps tearing because the frame has shifted. We’ll assess your enclosure on-site and give you a straight answer.

For more information about caring for your enclosure after installation, see our screen enclosure maintenance guide.
