Turn your patio into a usable screen porch with clean lines, tight mesh, and doors that close right. Arlington Screens has served Arlington since 2015, handling screen porch enclosure installation, rescreening, and storm-damage repairs for homeowners and commercial properties.
A screen porch that stays square starts with the base and attachment points. We inspect the slab, porch columns, fascia, and roofline for rot, loose fasteners, and out-of-plumb framing, then confirm where we can tie in without trapping water. For new builds we lay out panel sizes to minimize seams, plan door swing and clearance, and build rigid frames using aluminum extrusion or pressure-treated framing where appropriate. We set posts and rails plumb, add blocking for door hinges and latches, and use corrosion-resistant screws and anchors suited to concrete or wood so the enclosure stays tight season after season.
North Texas sun, wind, and hard rain can punish a screen porch, so material choice and finish work matter. We install UV-stable fiberglass mesh for everyday use, heavier 18x14 mesh for pets and higher traffic, and tighter insect mesh when gnats and no-see-ums are a problem. Edges are locked in with spline and screen track or secured with trim systems designed for aluminum framing, then we seal transitions at roof, ledger, and corners to reduce leaks and rattles. If you want a cleaner look, we can add kick plates, mid-rails, and screen doors with closers to keep panels protected and the enclosure easy to use.
Arlington customers choose us because we build screen porch enclosures like they are part of the house, not an afterthought. You get a licensed and insured screening contractor who shows up on schedule, protects landscaping and outdoor furniture, and communicates clearly about options and costs. We work on everything from porch rescreening and door repairs to full porch-to-screen conversions, using jobsite-accurate measuring, straight cuts, and hardware that holds up outdoors. Our crews focus on clean corners, consistent reveal lines, and solid door operation so the finished porch looks intentional and feels sturdy.
Before we call a screen porch job complete, we do a full closing walkthrough and fix the details that homeowners notice later. We check screen tension, spline bite, fastener spacing, door alignment, latch engagement, and gaps at corners, then verify drainage paths and that we did not block weep areas. You get a written scope of work, material selections (mesh type, frame system, door hardware), and clear care guidance for cleaning and seasonal checks. If the project is a repair, we match existing profiles as closely as possible and confirm adjacent panels and framing are still sound so the fix lasts.
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.
A well-built screen porch gives you shade and airflow without mosquitos, flies, and windblown debris taking over your outdoor space. Arlington Screens designs, installs, and repairs screen porch enclosures for patios, covered porches, and outdoor seating areas, with an emphasis on straight framing, durable mesh, and doors that operate smoothly. Whether you need a full enclosure, selective panel replacement, or a full rescreen after hail or wind, we build the system to fit the structure you already have.
Screen porch installation starts with structure. We evaluate the slab and porch framing, confirm attachment locations, and look for soft wood, sagging headers, or out-of-square corners that can cause screens to loosen. From there we lay out panel widths and rail heights, select a framing system (commonly aluminum screen wall extrusion or reinforced wood framing), and choose the right mesh for how you use the space. Fiberglass mesh is a reliable standard, while heavier pet-resistant mesh helps prevent claw and impact damage in high-traffic openings.
For screen porch repair, we focus on the root cause, not just the torn screen. Common issues include failed spline, bent frame members, loose track, door sag, and gaps at corners that let insects in. We can rescreen individual panels, rebuild door frames, replace closers and latches, and tighten up transitions where wind-driven rain finds its way through. If your enclosure has water staining, we can recommend better flashing and sealing details at the roofline and ledger to reduce future problems.
When you are ready, we provide a free written estimate and a clear plan for materials, layout, and schedule. After installation or repair, we walk the enclosure with you, confirm door operation and screen tension, and leave you with maintenance guidance so your screen porch stays tight and comfortable through Texas heat and storms.
