If pets are shredding your window or porch mesh, Durham Screens installs and repairs pet screen built to resist claws and pressure. Serving since 2018, we replace torn panels, rescreen doors, and reinforce high-traffic openings in Durham with durable, tight-fitting mesh.
We start by inspecting the frame, spline channel, corners, and hardware to make sure the opening is worth rescreening. Old mesh and spline are removed, the channel is cleaned, and bent frames are straightened where possible so the new material seats evenly. For pet screen, we typically use heavy-duty vinyl-coated polyester mesh, paired with fresh spline sized to your frame, then roll it in with a spline roller for consistent tension without warping the frame.
North Carolina humidity, sun exposure, and seasonal pollen can loosen screens over time, so fit and tension matter as much as the material. We set the mesh grain square, pull it tight, and lock it in so it stays drum-tight through hot summers and damp springs. Where openings take extra abuse, like slider doors and screened porches, we can add better door sweeps, adjust closers, and replace worn rollers or hinges so the pet screen is protected by smooth operation and a clean latch.
Durham customers choose us because we treat pet screen work like finish carpentry, not a quick patch. Licensed and insured, we give a clear written estimate and match the right mesh to the job, whether you need pet-resistant mesh for a patio door, a catio panel, or a porch section that gets leaned on daily. Our techs come prepared with measured spline sizes, corner tools, rollers, and fasteners, which helps us complete clean installs and reliable repairs without cutting corners.
After installation, we do a full walkthrough: check mesh tension, inspect corners for lift, confirm the spline is fully seated, and test door swing, slide, and latch. You get a cleaner opening, better visibility than patched tears, and a panel that stands up to claws, jumping, and pushing. If we find related issues like loose stops, damaged kick plates, or rotted trim that could shorten the life of your new pet screen, we call it out and quote it separately so you can decide.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing the site and confirming materials, openings, and hardware needs.
Yes. Durham Screens is licensed and insured for screening work, and we can confirm details during scheduling.
In most cases, yes. We can typically match common mesh colors like charcoal or gray and coordinate frame components, spline, and hardware to blend with existing assemblies.
Small repairs can often be completed in a single visit. Larger rescreening and porch projects vary by scope, number of openings, and any needed frame or carpentry repairs.
Yes. We troubleshoot sagging doors, misaligned hinges, worn closers, latches, and sweeps, then repair or replace the hardware and rescreen as needed.
Pet screen is a smart upgrade when standard fiberglass mesh keeps tearing from claws, jumping, or pets leaning against doors and porch panels. Durham Screens installs and repairs pet-resistant screen systems for patio doors, entry doors, screened porches, and window frames, focusing on tight tension, proper spline fit, and smooth door operation so the mesh lasts longer in daily use.
A true pet screen is typically thicker and stronger than standard fiberglass insect mesh, making it far less likely to snag, stretch, or rip when pets scratch or push. We replace failed mesh with pet-resistant material, install new spline, and reset tension so the screen stays secure without bowing aluminum frames. If the frame channel is damaged or the panel is out of square, we address that first so the repair holds.
We can help you choose where pet screen makes sense and where other upgrades may be better. High-traffic patio doors, lower porch panels, and areas near dog doors are common candidates. For better long-term performance, we also inspect related parts like latches, sweeps, track rollers, and hinges, because a door that drags or slams puts extra load on any mesh.
If you want a screen that looks clean and holds up to pets, we provide a written estimate and a straightforward plan: remove and prep, install pet screen with the right spline, then test operation and finish details.
