Get your window screen fitting tight, operating smoothly, and sealing out insects again without fighting warped frames or torn mesh. Durham Screens has served Durham since 2018, handling window screen installation, re-screening, and on-site repairs for homes and businesses.
Every window screen job starts with measurement and a quick condition check of the frame, corners, and hardware. We verify frame thickness and channel depth, confirm orientation tabs, and check for bent rails, broken corners, or pulled spline. For repairs, we remove the old mesh, clean the spline channel, and re-screen using new spline sized to the frame, then re-tension the mesh so it lays flat without waves. If the frame is beyond repair, we recommend replacement and match size and style so the screen seats correctly and latches as designed.
North Carolina pollen, humidity, and sun exposure punish screen mesh and can loosen spline over time, so we build for real-world conditions. We install quality fiberglass mesh for most windows, offer aluminum mesh for added rigidity, and can quote pet-resistant mesh when claws are an issue. Where the fit matters most, we adjust tension at the corners and keep sightlines straight so the finished screen looks clean from the curb and from inside. You get a neat edge, consistent mesh alignment, and hardware that works the way it should when you remove and reinstall screens for cleaning.
Durham customers choose us because we treat a window screen like a precision fit, not a quick patch. We show up with the right materials, including fresh mesh rolls, spline in multiple diameters, corner keys, pull tabs, and the tools to keep tension even. You get a written estimate, clear options, and straightforward recommendations on repair vs replacement based on frame condition and long-term value. As a licensed and insured screening contractor, we keep the work area clean and we do not leave sharp wire ends, loose spline, or bent frames behind.
Before we wrap up, we test-fit each window screen in its opening, check that it sits flush, and confirm the tabs and springs hold securely. We walk you through what was replaced, what was reused, and how to remove the screen without bending the frame. You receive a clear scope of work, material selections (mesh type and color when applicable), and a final check for smooth operation on every window we touched. If you want a consistent look across the house or storefront, we can plan a phased approach and match mesh and frame style from window to window.
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.
A properly built window screen should sit square in the opening, stay tight on the spline, and keep bugs out without blocking airflow. Durham Screens handles window screen repair and installation for homeowners, property managers, and commercial spaces, including re-screening, replacement screens, and hardware fixes. If your screens bow, pop out, snag, or show holes and loose edges, we’ll diagnose the frame and mesh, then recommend the most durable, cost-effective fix.
Common window screen problems are simple but specific: ripped fiberglass mesh, dented aluminum frames, brittle plastic corners, missing lift tabs, or spline that has shrunk and pulled free. Our process focuses on fit and longevity. We measure the opening and the existing frame, confirm the correct spline diameter, and re-screen with controlled tension so the mesh stays flat and secure. When frames are bent or corners are cracked, replacement usually saves money over repeated patches and improves the way the screen seats in the window track.
For most homes, charcoal or black fiberglass mesh provides good visibility and airflow with reliable insect protection. Aluminum mesh is a solid option where rigidity matters, and pet-resistant mesh can help in high-wear areas. We can also address related issues that affect performance, like damaged retaining clips, worn springs, or screens that do not engage the window frame properly. The goal is a window screen that installs easily, stays in place, and looks consistent from room to room.
If you’re updating multiple windows, we can standardize mesh type and color across the property and schedule the work to minimize disruption. Share what you’re dealing with, holes, warped frames, loose screens, or missing hardware, and we’ll provide a clear, written estimate with options for repair or replacement.
