Screens are easy to ignore until the first warm evening when you want the windows open and the mosquitoes have other plans. If yours are torn, sagging, or gone, this is a small fix that pays off every summer night.

Screen work we do

Rescreening (new mesh in your existing frame). If your screen frame is still straight and solid but the mesh is torn, stretched, or full of holes, we can often just replace the screen material and save you the cost of a whole new frame. New mesh, tight and clean, in the frame you already have.

New custom screens. When the frame is bent, corroded, or missing, we build a new screen sized to your window. Made to fit the opening exactly, so it seats properly and stays put instead of falling out every time the wind gusts.

Frame repair. Bent corners, broken corner keys, and loose spline that lets the mesh sag; the small hardware failures that make a screen useless. Often a quick fix.

Door screens and sliding screen doors. Patio slider screens take a beating from kids, pets, and wind, and they are one of the most common screen calls we get. We repair and replace sliding screen doors and the mesh in them.

A mesh for every problem. Everyday fiberglass, fine no-see-um weave, tough pet-resistant mesh, or heat-cutting solar screen; more on choosing below. We match the mesh to the actual problem you are having.

How to tell what your screen actually needs

You can usually diagnose a screen yourself in about ten seconds, which helps us give you a faster answer on the phone:

Small hole or tear, frame straight and square? That is a rescreen. The frame stays, the mesh gets replaced. Cheapest fix there is.
Mesh sagging or bellied out but not torn? The spline (the rubber cord that pins the mesh into the frame) has loosened or the mesh has stretched. A rescreen tightens it right back up.
Corner popped apart or frame bent? Screen frames are held together with little plastic corner keys that get brittle in the sun. A single bad corner is often a quick repair; a frame that is bent along its length is usually better replaced.
Screen falls out of the window or will not stay in the track? The frame has lost its shape or the spring pins are shot. We will check whether it is fixable or whether a new screen sized to the opening is the smarter buy.
Screen missing entirely? No problem, and very common on homes that changed hands. We measure the opening and build a new one to fit.

If you are not sure, that is fine too. Send a photo when you call and we will tell you which bucket it falls in.

How screen work goes

Call for a free estimate: (435) 258-5456. Tell us how many screens, what is wrong, and roughly what size. For screens, a quick description and a photo usually gets you a real ballpark on the first call.
We measure and build or repair. Rescreening and simple frame fixes are quick. New custom screens are built to your window's exact size. Because screen work is straightforward, it is usually one of our faster turnarounds.
We make sure they fit. A screen that does not seat right is worse than no screen, so we check that each one sits flush and holds in the window or track before we call it done.

We are a licensed Utah contractor (#12719492-5501), serving the valley since 2022, and no screen job is too small to call about.

Why screens matter more here than you think

Cache Valley summers are made for open windows. The nights cool off hard, and running the house on night air instead of the AC is one of the quiet perks of living here, but only if your screens actually keep the bugs out. Come spring, the valley's canyon breezes and irrigation ditches bring out the mosquitoes and gnats, and a single torn screen is an open door for all of them.

Our seasons are also why screens wear out. Winter means screens sit through months of freeze, snow load, and UV; some folks store them, most do not. Spring and summer wind off the Wellsville and Bear River ranges works the mesh loose and bends light frames. Kids, dogs, and the garden hose finish the job. By the time you want the windows open, half the screens in the house have a problem. We see the same wave every year from Logan and North Logan out through Smithfield, Providence, Hyrum, Nibley, Millville, and Hyde Park, and west into Tremonton and the Box Elder towns.

The nice part: screens are cheap to fix relative to almost everything else in a house. A round of rescreening across a home costs a fraction of one window and buys back every open-window night of the summer.

Choosing the right mesh

Most people never think about screen mesh until they have a specific problem, and then it matters a lot. The main options:

Standard fiberglass is the default: affordable, flexible, and fine for most windows, and it typically lasts around ten to twelve years before the mesh gets brittle. If your screens are just old and torn, this is almost certainly what goes back in.
Fine no-see-um mesh has a tighter weave that stops the tiny biting gnats and sand flies that standard mesh lets through, which is worth it near water, fields, and irrigation. It also sharpens the view out.
Pet-resistant mesh is a heavier vinyl-coated polyester weave, several times stronger than standard fiberglass, built to survive dogs and cats leaning, pawing, and pushing on it. If you have replaced the same screen twice because of a pet, this is the fix.
Solar and shade screens use a denser mesh that blocks a large share of the sun's heat, glare, and UV before it ever hits the glass. On west- and south-facing windows that bake all afternoon, they cut cooling load and glare noticeably while you can still see out.

We will suggest the mesh that fits your actual situation rather than defaulting everyone to the same roll. If you want the cheap standard mesh, that is a perfectly good answer too.

What screen repair and replacement costs

Screens are the low end of our $200 to $15,000 range; most screen jobs are among the most affordable calls we take. Price depends on:

Repair vs. new (rescreening an existing frame is cheaper than building a new one)
How many screens you are doing in one trip (doing several at once is the efficient way)
Size (a big picture-window or patio-door screen uses more material than a bedroom window)
Mesh type (standard vs. pet-resistant, fine no-see-um, or solar screen)

Because a batch of screens is quick work, doing them all in one visit is the smart move. Free estimate: (435) 258-5456.

Window screen questions we hear a lot

Is it cheaper to repair a screen or replace it?

Usually repair, if the frame is still good. When only the mesh is torn we can rescreen your existing frame, which costs less than building a new one. When the frame is bent or corroded, a new custom screen is the better value. We will tell you which one yours needs.

How much does it cost to rescreen a window?

Rescreening is one of the most affordable jobs we do, and it drops further per screen when you do several at once. We will give you an exact number at the free estimate; a description and a photo usually gets you a ballpark on the phone.

Can you fix a sliding patio screen door?

Yes. Sliding screen doors are one of our most common screen jobs. We repair and replace the door screens and the mesh in them.

Do you have pet-resistant or solar screens?

Yes. We can build screens with heavier pet-resistant mesh for homes with dogs and cats, and solar/shade screens that cut heat and glare on sunny windows. Tell us the problem and we will match the mesh.

Do I need to bring my screens to you, or do you come out?

Tell us what works for you when you call and we will sort out the logistics. Either way, the estimate is free and we will get your screens back in the windows before the mosquitoes notice.
