Screen Repair
Screen repair keeps small rips from becoming big tears, and lets you restore damaged screens instead of having to completely replace them.

Keep out pests and let fresh air in with fully functional window screens.

With durable products, specialized tools, and skilled technicians, we ensure that your repaired screens will restore value and functionality to your home or business. Covering a variety of exterior maintenance needs from hard water removal to dryer vent cleaning, we are here to help you boost your building’s curb appeal and comfort.
The Different Types of Screen Damage We Address
Window screens can last for a very long time, withstanding harsh weather conditions and light impact, but over time, the small damage creates big problems. Here are some problems you might find with damaged or old window screens:
- Tears and Holes: Often caused by accidental bumps, children playing, or pet claws, tears and holes can be patched up or replaced in sections.
- Sagging: When a screen frame becomes warped, or the mesh lining stretches out, it starts to sag. This can be fixed with re-tensioning the screen mesh and reinforcing the frame to make it solid and secure again.
- Corrosion: When the metal screen frames corrode, minor problems can be fixed with cleaning and support, but large corrosion calls for frame replacement.
- Detachment: If the screen pulls apart from the frame, it can be reattached and re-wired, ensuring it’s properly fitted and held in place.
- Broken Splines: When the vinyl or flexible rubber cord that sits into the window frame to lock the screen’s mesh in place is broken, it can be replaced to ensure the screen is tightly fitted and secure.
- Screen Replacement: For old screens that have become brittle and faded, it’s easy to replace the entire screen with durable and modern mesh, while maintaining the original frame.
The Importance of Expert Screen Repair
From commercial buildings to residential homes, screen repair benefits your property in many ways.
- Save Money: When you repair your screens, you avoid full window screen replacement, which costs much more.
- Indoor Comfort: Acting as a barrier to keep insects out, but allowing fresh air inside, screens keep you cozy and safe inside your home.
- Cleanliness: Keep pollen and dust from building on your windows or floating into your home. This helps with air quality, removing allergens, and a clean, refined appearance.
- Boosts Curb Appeal: Sagging, torn up, or sun-bleached screens can make a building look neglected. Increase your home or business’s value with window screen repair that keeps it in pristine shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair or replace the screen?
If the metal frame is straight and undamaged, simply rescreening (replacing the mesh and rubber spline) is all that’s required. Replace the entire assembly only if the frame is warped, broken at the corners, or corroded.
What are the best screen mesh materials?
- Standard Fiberglass: Flexible, rust-proof, and budget-friendly.
- Pet-Resistant Mesh: Heavy-duty vinyl-coated polyester built to withstand claws and teeth (up to 7x stronger than standard mesh).
- Solar Screen: Dense weave that blocks 60%–90% of heat and UV rays, cutting cooling costs.
- Fine Mesh (“No-See-Um”): Micro-mesh designed to block tiny insects like midges and gnats.
How long does a rescreening job take?
A professional technician can rescreen a standard window in 10–15 minutes. DIY attempts usually take 20–30 minutes per window for first-timers.
