Professional Window Screen Repair & Replacement
Torn screens? Broken frames? Pet damage? We repair or replace all types of window and door screens. Same-day service often available.
Common Screen Problems We Fix
Torn or Ripped Mesh
Small tears from branches, hail, or accidents. We re-screen with durable fiberglass or aluminum mesh that lasts 10-15 years.
Pet Damage
Cats and dogs claw or push through standard screens. We install heavy-duty pet-resistant screen material (Phifer Pet Screen) that's 7x stronger.
Bent or Broken Frames
Aluminum frames bend from impacts or improper storage. We straighten frames or fabricate custom replacements to match your windows exactly.
Loose or Missing Spline
The rubber spline holding mesh in the frame deteriorates over time. We re-spline with fresh material for a tight, long-lasting fit.
Wrong Size Screens
Moved into a home with missing or ill-fitting screens? We custom-build screens to your exact window measurements.
Ineffective Bug Protection
Torn screens let mosquitoes and flies inside. Fresh screens keep bugs out so you can enjoy summer breezes without pests.
Screen Material Options
Standard Fiberglass (18x16)
Most economical
Our default mesh. Charcoal gray color, won't rust or corrode. Good visibility, blocks 65% of UV rays. Ideal for most homes.
Best for: Standard residential use
Heavy-Duty Pet Screen
+$15-25 per screen
Phifer PetScreen material is 7x stronger than standard fiberglass. Resists clawing and pushing from dogs and cats. Slightly thicker weave.
Best for: Homes with pets, high-traffic areas
Aluminum Screen (18x14)
+$10-15 per screen
Metal mesh that's more durable than fiberglass but can dent. Preferred for historic homes or when matching existing aluminum screens.
Best for: Historic homes, sun porches
Solar/Sunscreen (20x20)
+$20-30 per screen
Tighter weave blocks 90% of UV rays and reduces heat gain by 15-30%. Darker appearance but maintains decent visibility.
Best for: South-facing windows, sun rooms
Our Screen Repair Process
Inspection & Assessment
We inspect your screens to determine if repair or replacement is more cost-effective. Minor tears can be patched; large damage requires re-screening.
Measurement & Material Selection
We measure your screens precisely and help you choose the right mesh type (standard, pet-resistant, solar, etc.) based on your needs and budget.
Frame Preparation
We remove old spline and damaged mesh, clean the frame channel, and straighten any bent aluminum. Severely damaged frames are replaced.
Screen Installation
New mesh is stretched taut and secured with fresh rubber spline. We use professional spline rollers to ensure a tight, wrinkle-free fit that won't sag.
Trimming & Quality Check
Excess mesh is trimmed flush with the frame. We test the screen's fit in your window and check for proper tension and appearance.
Reinstallation
Screens are reinstalled in your windows. We ensure they slide smoothly, latch properly, and sit flush in the frame without gaps.

Screen Repair FAQs
Small tears (under 1-2 inches) can sometimes be patched with screen repair tape or patches. However, for long-term durability and appearance, we usually recommend full re-screening, which costs $25-60 depending on size. Patches are visible and only last 1-2 years.
Most screens are repaired on-site in 10-15 minutes each. If we need to take screens to our shop for custom work or frame straightening, turnaround is typically same-day or next-day.
Fiberglass is more flexible, won't dent, and is rust-proof. It's our standard choice for 90% of homes. Aluminum is stiffer and more dent-prone but is preferred for historic homes or when matching existing metal screens.
Yes! Phifer PetScreen is specifically designed to resist clawing and pushing from cats and dogs. It's 7x stronger than standard fiberglass. We've seen it hold up to large dogs jumping against screens. Highly recommended for pet owners.
Absolutely. We custom-fabricate screens for arched windows, bay windows, unusual sizes, and historic windows. We take precise measurements and build screens to match your exact specifications.
Yes, we repair screens for porches, patios, and screen doors. These are typically larger and may require heavier-duty framing, but the re-screening process is the same.
Standard fiberglass screens last 10-15 years with proper care. Pet-resistant and aluminum screens can last 15-20 years. UV exposure, pet activity, and weather all affect lifespan.
