Screen Enclosure & Pool Cage Removal
Junk Removal Service USA removes damaged or unwanted screen enclosures, pool cages, and screened lanais across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County. We take down the aluminum frame, screen, doors, and hardware, and recycle the aluminum. Screen enclosure removal in South Florida typically costs $800 to $1,500, and most cages come down in a single day.

What We Don't Do — and Who Does
Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 489.105) reserves demolition of any building or residence for licensed contractors. We stay on the non-building side of that line and refer the rest. How the line works →
- ⚠Enclosures with a solid roof framed into the house (Florida rooms, sunrooms) — that is part of the building; licensed contractor
- ⚠Concrete footers under the frame are quoted separately (see concrete & patio removal)
- ⚠Re-screening or repair — we remove; a screen contractor rebuilds
How Screen Enclosure & Pool Cage Removal Works
- 1
Photos and a rough footprint
A photo of the cage and the length of each side is enough to quote. Storm damage? Send those photos too for your insurance file.
- 2
Screen and doors
Screen panels are cut out and doors removed so the frame can be worked safely.
- 3
Frame comes down
Beams and uprights are unbolted or cut and lowered in sections; anchors are cut at the slab.
- 4
Recycle the aluminum
The frame goes to aluminum recycling. Screen and spline go to disposal. Slab anchors are ground flush.
What Screen Enclosure & Pool Cage Removal Costs in South Florida
$800–$1,500
A standard single-story pool cage sits in the middle of the range; two-story cages and mansard roofs run higher.
What moves the price
- •Footprint and height — a 20×40 cage vs. a two-story enclosure
- •Storm-twisted frames take longer to dismantle safely
- •Whether the super-gutter and downspouts come out
- •Access for lowering long beams
- •Grinding anchor bolts flush to the deck

Pool cages were permitted when they went up, and some South Florida municipalities want a demolition filing to close them out — others treat removal as unpermitted. We ask your city before we schedule. If the enclosure is your pool's safety barrier, Florida's pool barrier law requires a replacement barrier in place when it comes down.
Miami-Dade County
Screen enclosures are permitted structures in Miami-Dade; removal of a detached aluminum enclosure may be filed as a demolition. We confirm with the county or your municipality.

Handled by your municipality; ask whether a demolition filing is needed to close the enclosure permit. The county's SRRA is not typically triggered by an aluminum frame.
Official source ↗Palm Beach County
Unincorporated areas follow PBC's demolition bulletin; municipalities set their own rule for accessory aluminum structures.
