Here's the honest answer:
Repair (1–2 panels) — best when damage is isolated. A torn panel or a few holes after a storm. Quick, affordable, done in a day.
Full rescreening — better value when the mesh is brittle, faded, or multiple panels are failing. If your screens are 8–10+ years old in Florida's UV, rescreening costs less in the long run than patching repeatedly.
Frame repair — if the aluminum structure itself is damaged (bent beams, broken corners, corroded fasteners), that's a separate repair done alongside or before any screen work.
