Screen repair & new screen installation

Screens live a hard life in the Valley. Long stretches of triple-digit summer heat and intense sun break down mesh over time, leaving it faded, brittle and easy to puncture. Wind pushes dust into the weave, sprinklers coat the bottom edge with minerals, and pets and kids find every weak spot. Because many homes in Fresno and Clovis keep windows shut through the hottest months, damage often goes unnoticed until the first cool evening of fall, when you finally want fresh air and discover the holes.

Re-screening and replacement are two different jobs. When the frame is straight and the corners are solid, we can pull out the old mesh and spline, then roll in new mesh so it sits tight and even. When a frame is bent, cracked or missing, a new screen is the better fix, and we measure the opening so the replacement fits properly and seats securely in the window. Sliding screen doors get the same attention, since a torn or loose screen on a busy patio door is often the first one to fail.

A little care helps new screens last. Rinse or brush off dust gently instead of scrubbing hard, and avoid pushing on the mesh when you open or close windows. Pointing sprinklers away from the house keeps mineral crust off the bottom rails. If you have pets that like to paw at doors, letting us know helps us plan the right fix. Because screens are already part of our everyday window cleaning work, it’s easy to have them checked, cleaned or repaired whenever your windows are serviced.
