A damaged screen frame can keep a good screen from fitting, sealing, or sliding right. Greensboro Screens repairs and replaces aluminum screen frames for windows, doors, porches, and enclosures so everything sits square, closes clean, and holds tight.
We start by checking the full assembly, not just the torn mesh. We measure frame width and height, confirm squareness by comparing diagonals, and inspect miter corners, spline groove wear, and any bent rails or bowed stiles. On sliding units, we look at the track contact points, rollers, wheel housings, and handle pulls to find what caused binding. Then we provide a written plan for repair or full screen frame replacement, including the right spline diameter (typically 0.125-0.175 inch) and compatible frame profile so the screen fits the opening instead of fighting it.
In this area, sun exposure, pollen, and storm-driven rain can accelerate oxidation on aluminum and make old corners brittle. We use new aluminum frame stock (standard or heavy-wall when needed), reinforced miter corners, stainless fasteners where appropriate, and fresh spline to lock the screen evenly without waviness. For porches and larger spans, we build stiffer frames with added crossbars to reduce flex, and we match frame color when stock allows (white, bronze, charcoal, and mill finishes are common). Before we leave, we test fit, confirm even gaps, and make sure the frame sits flat against the stop so bugs and wind have fewer paths inside.
Greensboro customers choose us because we fix the root cause, not just the symptom. If a screen frame is out of square, has wallowed-out screw holes, cracked corners, or a deformed track edge, simply re-screening it usually fails again, so we explain the tradeoffs in plain language and price repair versus replacement honestly. Our techs work clean, protect sills and thresholds, and handle tricky details like pet-damage reinforcement, child-safety considerations, and matching older profiles on storm windows and porch systems. Greensboro Screens is licensed and insured, and we give free written estimates so you can compare options with confidence.
At the end of the job we do a walkthrough and show you how the screen frame should seat, latch, or slide, plus what to watch for on tracks and corners. You get a frame that is square, tight, and properly tensioned, with smooth operation and consistent reveal around the opening. We also share simple maintenance tips like clearing debris from tracks, rinsing pollen buildup, and avoiding pressure on corners when removing screens. If you have multiple openings, we can tag sizes and standardize hardware so future screen repairs are faster and more consistent.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing the site, measuring openings, and confirming mesh and hardware options.
Yes. We handle single-panel repairs, individual window screens, and small rescreens without requiring a full project.
Common options include fiberglass insect mesh, aluminum screening, pet-resistant mesh, and solar screen. We will recommend the best fit based on traffic, pets, sun exposure, and visibility goals.
Yes. We build and retrofit screened-in porches, patios, and screen rooms, including framing repairs, screen door installs, and full rescreening of existing enclosures.
Many repairs and rescreens can be completed in a single visit once materials are confirmed. Larger porches and multi-panel enclosures may take longer depending on access, framing condition, and door work.
A screen frame is more than a border that holds mesh, it is the part that makes the screen fit the opening, stay square, and operate smoothly. When the frame is bent, corroded, or out of square, the screen can pop out, rub the jamb, or leave gaps that let insects and wind-driven debris inside. Greensboro Screens provides screen frame repair and full screen frame replacement for windows, sliding screen doors, storm windows, porch panels, and enclosure sections. We work with common aluminum frame profiles and hardware so your screens install correctly and look consistent across the property.
If your screen frame is bowed, the corners are separating, or the spline groove is worn, a quick re-screen rarely lasts. We inspect rails, stiles, miter corners, pull tabs, latches, and roller hardware, then recommend the most durable fix. Many issues come from impact damage, repeated removal, or warped tracks that force the frame to twist. Our process focuses on restoring correct geometry so the screen seats evenly and stays put.
For replacement work, we fabricate new frames from quality aluminum components, cut to length, assembled with corner keys, and fitted with the correct spline size so screen tension is consistent. Larger porch panels often benefit from heavier frame stock and cross supports to reduce flex and keep the mesh from oil-canning in the wind. We can also upgrade mesh at the same time, including pet-resistant screening or no-see-um options when the opening and airflow needs allow it.
You will know what you are getting before we start, including repair versus replacement cost and lead time. After installation we test fit, confirm smooth slide or secure snap-in seating, and make sure the screen frame lines up cleanly with the surrounding trim.
