Brandon by the numbers
Source: Hillsborough County permit records (2025-10-27 to 2026-10-21). Values are what was declared on the permit application, not a price quote or final invoice; ask several licensed contractors for quotes. How we counted
Brandon permit values for budget context
Hillsborough County permit records show 83 Brandon permits involving 31 contractors in the reporting year. The median declared value was $14,550 (median of 70 permits with a declared value), with a middle range of $10,150-$21,732.
These are declared permit values, not price quotes or verified final costs. An enclosure refresh and a structural replacement may have different scopes. Cost varies; get several quotes.
Assess an older enclosure before choosing replacement
On an established Brandon property with an older enclosure, ask for a written assessment of the frame, anchors, doors and attachment points. Have the contractor distinguish mesh replacement from structural repairs.
If the company recommends replacement, ask which conditions support that recommendation and what existing materials it proposes to remove. Compare repair and replacement proposals only after each company explains the scope.
Check how previous patio changes affect the plan
Show the contractor any available drawings or records for earlier patio and roof changes. Ask how the proposed enclosure meets the house and how the company will evaluate the existing supporting surfaces.
For a yard with mature landscaping, discuss access and the space workers need around the proposed enclosure. Identify plants and outdoor features you want the contractor to protect.
Get clear terms for removal and unexpected damage
Ask the contractor to describe demolition, disposal and cleanup in the proposal. Agree on how it will report concealed damage and obtain your approval for changes.
The referral service connects you with independent companies so you can compare those terms and their quotes. You contract directly with the company you choose, which performs the work and provides any construction warranty.
Questions homeowners ask
Should I replace the mesh or the whole enclosure?
Have a contractor assess the existing structure before deciding. Ask for an explanation of frame, anchor and door conditions, then compare the proposed repair or replacement scope.
What should a replacement quote say about demolition?
Ask it to identify what the contractor will remove, how it will handle disposal, what surfaces it expects to retain and how it will seek approval for unexpected repairs.
Can the referral service inspect my existing Brandon enclosure?
No. RG Holdings provides referrals and does not perform construction assessments. Arrange an inspection and discuss repair options directly with an independent screen enclosure company.
