Window screen replacement in DFW

What we do

Rescreen the frame, or replace it.

Window screen replacement across DFW, from our Coppell base. If the frame is still straight, the mesh and the spline come out and new ones go in, and the frame you have stays.

A frame that has bent or split gets replaced instead. Either way each opening is measured rather than worked from a standard size, and both options go on the estimate with what each one gets you.

Screen door repair

If what has gone on a screen door is the screen itself — torn mesh in a sliding screen door, or in a storm door’s screen panel — it is the same insect-screen work: new mesh and spline if the frame is straight, a new frame if it has bent or split. A storm door’s closer or sweep is warranty work on a door we installed, and a new storm door is its own job.

How a screen is built

A screen is a frame, a mesh, and a rubber cord that holds the two together.

The frame is light rolled aluminum with a channel around the inside. The mesh is laid over it and pushed into that channel by a rubber spline — a cord rolled in with a wheeled tool. That is the whole of it, which is why a torn screen is rescreened rather than replaced: the same frame takes new mesh.

The mesh itself is a choice, three ways. Standard fiberglass mesh is the common one and it is the simplest to replace. Aluminum mesh holds its shape better and does not sag. Pet-resistant mesh is a heavier fiberglass woven to take claws. Solar screen is a denser weave meant to cut heat, but it is outside what we install — the FAQ below says where that line is.

A frame is only replaced when the frame itself has gone: corners pulled apart, a rail bent past straightening, or a spline channel crushed. A screen door in a track works the same way — the door is a frame with mesh in it, and rescreening one is screen work like any other.

What it looks like

• A tear, a hole, or mesh pushed out of its channel at one edge.
• Mesh that sags or ripples in the frame.
• A corner key that has pulled out, so the frame racks.
• A screen that no longer stays in its clips or its track.

Brands

Screens for every major brand.

We rescreen and replace insect screens for windows of every major brand — Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, JELD-WEN and Ply Gem among them — and the screen in a sliding screen door or a storm door’s screen panel. Tell us how many screens there are, and we measure each one.

Describe it however makes sense to you

However you say it, that’s enough.

Tell us which window or door it is and what you want done, even if you don’t know what anything is called. This starts a conversation, not an appointment.

• However you describe it is enough. No part names needed.
• The written estimate is free. Nothing owed if you pass.
• Nothing is ordered or started until you approve the number.

Where the line is

What we don’t do.

Two things we don’t do, so you’re not left waiting on us: broken or fogged glass and insulated-glass units, and solar screens. On a new unit we attach, adjust and test the latch the manufacturer supplied; separate lock work is outside what we do.
