The smartest money in screen repair

Sun, wind and time destroy mesh long before they hurt aluminum. If your frames are straight but the screen itself is torn, sagging, or bleached grey, rescreening replaces just the part that failed. We strip the old mesh, clean the frame, repair tired corners, re-spline fresh charcoal fiberglass, and trim it tight as a drum.

It’s the difference between $45 and a full replacement — and from across the room, a rescreened frame looks factory-new.

Done on-site, in minutes

Rescreening happens on our work table at your home: no dropping frames off, no waiting a week for a shop to call back. A typical window takes ten to fifteen minutes. While the frame is stripped we also check the fit — if a spring is dead or a pull tab has snapped off, it gets replaced as part of the job, not as a surprise line item.

Have a whole wall of windows gone grey? This is where on-site fabrication shines: twenty screens is an afternoon, not a project.

What it costs

Window rescreening is $45 per screen booked online ($50 by phone), including mesh, spline, corner repairs and tabs. If a frame turns out to be too far gone to rescreen honestly, we’ll tell you on the spot and quote a new build instead — your call, no pressure.

Frequently asked

How do I know if I need rescreening or a whole new screen?
If the aluminum frame is straight and the corners are solid, rescreening is the answer. If the frame is bent, cracked or racked out of square, a new screen is the honest fix — we’ll tell you which on sight.
What mesh do you use for rescreening?
Charcoal black fiberglass from Phifer or BetterVue as standard — the same mesh we use on new builds. Pet-resistant and solar mesh upgrades fit the same frames.
How long does rescreening take?
Ten to fifteen minutes per screen once the table is set up. Big batches go fast — around twenty screens in an afternoon.
Is it worth rescreening old frames?
Usually, yes — aluminum frames outlive mesh several times over. It’s the most cost-effective service we offer, which is why it’s also our most booked.
