If your screen mesh is torn, brittle, or pulling out of the spline, Arlington Screens can re-screen your frames and enclosures with clean, tight results. We have served Arlington since 2015, replacing screen mesh on windows, doors, porches, and pool enclosures with materials matched to your use and sun exposure.
We start by checking the frame condition, corners, and hardware so the new screen mesh is installed on a solid base. Old spline is removed, the spline channel is cleaned, and we measure for proper mesh orientation and tension. For most frames we use .140 or .160 diameter spline (matched to the groove) and a spline roller to seat the screen evenly without stretching it out of square. If the frame is bent, the channel is damaged, or the corners are loose, we flag it before re-screening so you do not pay twice.
North Texas heat, UV exposure, and wind-driven debris can make screen mesh fail early, especially on west-facing openings and high-use doors. We recommend fiberglass insect screen for most homes (flexible, corrosion-proof), aluminum screen where added rigidity is needed, and pet-resistant polyester mesh for claw traffic. For patios, lanais, and pool enclosures, we can install stronger options like TuffScreen-style pet mesh or solar screen mesh that helps cut glare and heat gain while keeping airflow. Edges are trimmed clean, corners are finished tight, and we make sure the mesh lays flat with no ripples, fish-eyes, or loose spline.
Arlington customers choose us because we treat screen mesh replacement like finish work, not a quick patch. You get a written estimate, clear material options, and an installer who shows up with the right mesh rolls, spline sizes, roller tools, and cutting equipment to do it in one trip when possible. We can re-screen single window panels, sliding screen doors, and large enclosure sections, and we will tell you when a full screen frame replacement makes more sense than forcing new mesh into a worn channel. As a licensed and insured contractor, we keep the jobsite tidy and protect surrounding glass, paint, and finishes while we work.
Before we wrap up, we do a walkthrough and check fit, latch operation, and consistent tension across the screen mesh. You will see clean spline seating, straight weave lines, and solid attachment at the corners with no gaps that invite mosquitoes. We haul away old mesh and spline, and we note any next-step fixes we saw, like worn rollers on a sliding screen door or a bent frame that is rubbing. The result is a smoother-looking screen, better airflow, and fewer insects getting inside.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing your project details and measuring on site when needed.
Yes. We rescreen torn panels, replace spline, straighten or replace bent frames when possible, and service screen door hardware like rollers, hinges, and latches.
We build and repair screen porches, patio enclosures, pool and lanai screening, and screened entry systems. We can also replace doors and upgrade hardware for smoother operation.
Timing depends on the number of panels, frame condition, and access. Many small repairs can be completed quickly once materials are confirmed, while larger enclosures require measuring, fabrication, and scheduled installation.
Usually, yes. We match mesh color and openness as closely as possible and use the correct spline size for the existing frame so the finished panels look uniform.
Screen mesh takes constant abuse from sun, wind, pets, kids, and daily use, so it is common to see tears, holes, loose edges, and waves that never sit flat again. Arlington Screens replaces screen mesh on windows, screened doors, porch and patio openings, and pool enclosure panels with materials selected for the job, then tensions and trims the mesh so the finished screen looks straight and stays seated. If you are dealing with bugs getting in, a door that drags because the mesh is ballooning, or a screen that keeps popping out of the channel, re-screening is usually the most cost-effective fix when the frame is still sound.
Our process is simple and consistent: inspect the frame and spline channel, remove the failed mesh and old spline, clean the groove, then install and roll in new screen mesh at proper tension. We stock common spline diameters and use a professional spline roller to seat the spline evenly without cutting the mesh fibers. When a frame is warped, corners are separating, or the channel is damaged, we explain the issue upfront and recommend the right fix instead of forcing a replacement that will not last.
Choosing the right screen mesh matters. Standard fiberglass insect screen works well for most openings and resists corrosion, while aluminum screen adds rigidity for certain frames. For pet traffic, pet-resistant polyester mesh reduces claw damage, and for patios and sun-heavy exposures, solar screen mesh can reduce glare and help with heat control while still allowing airflow. We will help you match mesh type, color, and openness to your goals, whether that is visibility, durability, or added shade.
When we finish, we confirm the screen sits securely, the weave lines look straight, and the perimeter is sealed with properly seated spline. You get a clean install, removed debris, and a quick walkthrough so you know what was replaced and what to watch for next.
