A screen is mesh held in an aluminum frame by the spline, a rubber cord pressed into a groove around the edge. Most of what goes wrong with one is the mesh or the spline, and both are quick to replace in the frame you have.
Signs it's the spline or the mesh.
- The mesh has pulled out of the frame along one edge.
- A tear, or a hole the cat went through.
- Mesh that bellies out and won't sit flat.
- A screen that won't stay in its window, or drops out when the wind picks up.
- A sliding screen door that sticks, or keeps coming off its track.
- A window where a screen used to be.
Rescreen, or a new screen.
Rescreening holds when the frame is straight and its corners are sound. Loose spline over good mesh gets reseated. Torn or brittle mesh comes out, and new mesh goes in tight enough to sit flat without bowing the frame.
A bent frame won't hold new mesh tight, and neither will a cracked corner. That screen gets replaced, measured to the opening, and the quote says so before anything is booked.
Standard fiberglass suits most windows. A heavier pet mesh stands up better to a dog that leans on it, and a sun-control mesh is an option on a hot west window. Tell us what the window faces and what leans on it.
Sliding screen doors.
A sliding screen door rides on small rollers in a sill track that people step on. Worn rollers and a dented track make it drag and jump. New rollers and a straightened track usually bring it back. If the bottom rail itself has bowed, a new door can cost less than rebuilding the old one, and you hear that early.
How a rescreen goes.
- Tell us how many and where. Window screens, a screen door or both, and roughly how big.
- We price it in writing. Any screen that needs a new frame is named on the quote.
- Screens come out and go down on a drop cloth. Old spline and mesh out, groove cleaned.
- New mesh, new spline. Rolled in tight and trimmed square.
- Back in the window and checked. Each one seated and latched. You see the old spline before it leaves with us.
What a screen costs.
- The size of the frame. A patio screen door is a bigger job than a bedroom window.
- Whether the frame itself is bent. A bent frame turns it into a new screen.
- The mesh. Pet and sun-control mesh cost more than standard fiberglass.
- How many. Several screens in one visit cost less each than the same screens across several visits.
Asked about screens.
My screen door keeps coming off its track. Can you fix it?
Usually. It's the rollers or a dented track, and we name which. If the roller has to be ordered, you hear that before you book.
Do you replace window glass?
No. Glass is a glazier's job. The screen and its frame are ours.
Can you do all the screens in the house at once?
Yes. Send the count and the rough sizes, and they're priced as one job.
What if the mesh pulls loose?
Fails within a year? Tell us what's broken. The return visit is ours.
The torn screen
New mesh and spline in the frame you have. A bent frame is what turns it into a new screen.
We name the part and bring it with us.
Call, or show us what's broken in the form. Any day between 7am and 7pm, the part's name and the price come back inside two hours.
