A good window screen should fit tight, slide smoothly, and keep pests out without blocking your breeze. Greensboro Screens installs and repairs window screen frames, mesh, springs, and corner keys so your windows work the way they should.
Every window screen job starts with measurement and an honest assessment of what can be rebuilt versus replaced. We check the frame for twists, cracked corners, pulled spline, broken lift tabs, and worn spring-loaded pins or tension springs. If the frame is salvageable, we square it, replace corner keys as needed, and rescreen using the correct spline diameter so the mesh seats evenly in the spline channel. For new builds, we fabricate aluminum screen frames to match your window opening, hardware, and track style for a snug, rattle-free fit.
North Carolina pollen, humidity, and sun exposure are hard on mesh and frames, so material choice matters. We install standard fiberglass insect screen (often 18x16) for airflow and visibility, and we also offer aluminum mesh for rigidity and pet-resistant mesh for high-traffic windows and rentals. When glare and heat are a concern, we can discuss solar screen options that reduce sun penetration while keeping outward visibility. Edges get trimmed clean, corners are tightened, and the finished window screen is test-fit for proper engagement with the window channel and latches.
Greensboro customers choose us because we treat window screens like precision parts, not a quick staple-and-go patch. You get a written estimate, clear material options, and workmanship aimed at a long service life, tight spline seating, and square frames that do not bind in the track. We show up with the right tools and parts, including screen roller tools, miter saw or frame cutter, corner keys, lift handles, pull tabs, and common spring pin sizes. As a licensed and insured screening contractor, we focus on clean work, consistent fit, and results that make daily window use easier.
Before we wrap up, we walk you through each repaired or installed window screen and verify fit, hardware tension, and smooth removal and reinstallation. We check for wave lines, puckers, and loose edges, then confirm there are no gaps at the corners where insects slip through. You receive a simple scope-of-work summary, the mesh type used, and care guidance like safe cleaning methods and how to avoid bending frames during removal. If you are maintaining multiple units, we can help you standardize mesh types and hardware so future repairs are faster and more cost-effective.
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.
If your window screen is torn, loose in the channel, or hard to reinstall, Greensboro Screens provides straightforward window screen installation and repair for homes, rentals, and light commercial buildings. We handle everything from quick rescreens to full frame replacement, using proven materials like fiberglass insect mesh, aluminum mesh, pet-resistant screen, and solar screen fabric. Our goal is simple, a clean fit, strong corners, and mesh tension that holds up through daily use and seasonal changes.
Window screen problems usually come from three sources, damaged mesh, worn hardware, or a frame that is out of square. A torn screen invites mosquitoes and gnats, but a loose spline or warped frame can be just as frustrating because the screen pops out, rattles, or will not sit flush. We inspect the frame rails, spline channel, and corners, then recommend the most cost-effective path, rescreening when the frame is sound, or fabricating a replacement when the frame is bent or the corners no longer hold.
Material selection is part of doing the job right. Standard fiberglass mesh is a strong all-around choice for most windows because it resists corrosion and maintains good visibility. Aluminum mesh adds stiffness, and pet-resistant mesh helps prevent claw damage in pet areas and ground-floor windows. For sun-heavy elevations, solar screen fabric can help reduce glare and heat gain, and we will explain what that means for airflow and outward visibility before you decide.
After installation or repair, we test-fit the window screen, check retention hardware, and confirm the screen sits flat with consistent edge tension. You get clear documentation of what was repaired or replaced and the mesh type installed, so future maintenance is simple. If you have multiple windows, we can batch repairs and standardize mesh and hardware to keep your property consistent and easier to manage.
