SCREEN SERVICE
Screen Rescreening
Rescreening focuses on the screening material itself, with the existing frame considered as part of the repair conversation.
When this is the right place to start
Best fit when the screening material is the main problem and the existing frame may be reusable.
- Worn or brittle mesh
- Torn screening across a larger area
- Existing frames that may be candidates for reuse
- Material replacement as an alternative to replacing the complete screen
Useful details to have ready
- How many screens need new mesh
- The approximate size of each screen
- Whether the frames are straight and the corners are solid
- A photo of the whole screen
Common questions about screen rescreening
What is rescreening?
Rescreening replaces the mesh in an existing screen frame. The old mesh and spline come out, new mesh is fitted into the groove of the frame, and new spline holds it in place. The frame itself is kept.
When is rescreening better than a spot repair?
Usually when the mesh is worn, faded, brittle, or torn across a large area, so fixing one spot would not fix the screen. The frame needs to be straight and solid enough to reuse.
Are there different kinds of screen mesh?
Yes. Common types include standard fiberglass, aluminum, heavier pet-resistant mesh, and sun-control mesh. Ask on the call which options are available for your screens.
