If your window screen is ripped, bent, or loose, Arlington Screens can replace it with clean, tight-fit screening that keeps airflow and blocks pests. Serving Arlington since 2015, we install and repair window screens for homes, rentals, and storefronts using durable mesh and properly fitted frames.
We start by confirming the window type and measuring the opening and existing frame, then checking for common failure points like bowed rails, damaged corners, and missing lift tabs. If the frame is reusable, we remove the old spline and mesh, clean the spline channel, and inspect for cracks or corrosion. When a new frame is needed, we build it to size from aluminum screen frame stock and square it with new corners so the screen sits flat and doesn’t rack. Hardware gets matched to the application, including tension springs, plunger pins, or turn-buckle style retainers where required.
North Texas sun and wind can dry out spline and make mesh brittle, while pollen and dust load the weave and reduce airflow, so we recommend materials that hold up in real conditions. Options include fiberglass insect screen for everyday use, aluminum mesh for added rigidity, and pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester for homes with dogs and cats. For better outward visibility and stronger airflow, we can install 18x14 or 20x20 “no-see-um” mesh, and we keep screen tension consistent so the panel stays quiet in gusts. Edges are finished with new spline, smooth corners, and a proper seat in the track so the screen doesn’t pop out when you open and close the sash.
Arlington customers choose us because we treat window screens like a fit-and-function job, not a quick patch. Licensed and insured, we show up with the right tools to do it cleanly, including spline rollers, frame stock, corners, and multiple mesh grades so you can choose the right performance and price. We write estimates clearly, call out mesh type and color, and match existing screens whenever possible for a uniform look across the house or building. Property managers and business owners also like that we can handle multiple units efficiently and label screens by opening to keep everything organized.
Before we wrap up, we test fit each window screen, check that latches and retainers engage correctly, and confirm you can remove and reinstall the screen without fighting it. You get a finished screen that sits flush, stays tight, and looks straight from the curb and from inside the room. We leave you with the mesh and frame details used on the job, plus care tips for cleaning and seasonal checks to extend service life. If you want the whole home brought up to the same standard, we can quote additional screens and rescreening in the same visit with a free written estimate.
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 damaged window screen is more than an eyesore, it lets in mosquitoes, increases dust and pollen indoors, and can rattle or fall out every time a window is opened. Arlington Screens provides window screen installation and window screen repair for homeowners, landlords, and commercial spaces, with straightforward options based on how you use the window and what you need the screen to withstand. Whether your screen frame is bent, the mesh is torn, or the spline has shrunk and won’t hold tension, we focus on a tight fit, square corners, and clean finishes so the screen performs the way it should.
Most window screen problems come down to three issues: the mesh is torn or UV-brittle, the spline has loosened, or the frame is out of square. We evaluate what can be reused, then rescreen with new mesh and properly sized spline, or build a new aluminum frame when the rails are bowed or the corners are cracked. For rentals and high-traffic windows, we can recommend tougher mesh like vinyl-coated polyester pet screen; for airflow and visibility, we can use finer weave options like 18x14 or 20x20 depending on bug pressure and preference. If a screen uses specialty hardware, we match the retainers so the panel stays seated in the track.
Good window screen work also means details you can feel day to day. A properly tensioned screen sits flat, doesn’t buzz in the wind, and is easy to remove for cleaning. We keep mesh lines straight, corners tight, and edges smooth, then test the fit so the screen isn’t loose or forced into place. If you’re replacing multiple window screens, we can standardize mesh type and color across the property so everything matches.
If you’re ready to fix a single torn screen or update every window screen in the house, Arlington Screens will walk you through the options and provide a free written estimate. You’ll know what mesh you’re getting, how it will perform, and what it will cost before we start, so you can get back to opening your windows without letting pests in.
