A bent or corroded screen frame can pop out, snag screens, and leave gaps for insects. Raleigh Screens repairs and replaces aluminum screen frames for windows, doors, and porch panels, restoring tight fits and clean edges without guesswork.
We start by removing the screen assembly and checking the screen frame for twist, broken corners, loose spline channel, and damage at latch points or tabs. Measurements are verified corner to corner for squareness, then we determine whether a rebuild is feasible or a full replacement frame is the smarter, longer-lasting fix. When replacement is needed, we build a new frame to match the opening using roll-formed aluminum screen frame stock (typically 5/16 inch or 3/8 inch), miter-cut for tight corners and assembled with the correct corner keys, tension springs, or lift tabs for the application.
Local humidity and temperature swings can accelerate oxidation at fasteners and corners, and pollen and grit can wear the spline channel over time, so we focus on durability as much as fit. Frames are set to sit flat in the track with even reveals, no bowing, and consistent tension so the screen material stays taut without over-stretching. We can match common bronze, white, and mill-finish aluminum looks, and we pay attention to details that affect performance, like keeping the spline groove clean, correcting warped channels, and aligning corner joints so they do not telegraph through the screen.
Raleigh customers choose us because we treat screen frame work like precision carpentry, not a quick patch. You get clear recommendations on repair versus replacement, plus a written estimate before work begins. Our technicians work with purpose-built tools including miter boxes or powered miter saws with non-ferrous blades, spline rollers, and measuring jigs to keep assemblies square, and we use materials that hold up, from quality aluminum extrusions to proper corner keys and fasteners for the job.
Before we leave, we test-fit the screen frame in the opening, confirm smooth insertion and removal, and verify there are no gaps at the perimeter. We check that tabs, springs, and pull points are secure and that the frame sits flush so it will not rattle in wind or bind in the track. You receive a clean, properly sized screen frame assembly ready for service, with workmanship focused on long-term fit, easy maintenance, and a finished look that matches the rest of the home or storefront.
Yes, we provide a free written estimate after an on-site measure so the scope and materials are clear.
Often, yes. We’ll identify your current frame system and mesh type, then recommend the closest match that performs well and is available.
Small repairs can be quick, while larger porches and multi-panel walls take longer due to prep, panel count, and door work. After we measure, we’ll give you a realistic timeline.
Yes. We can replace torn mesh, bent frame members, damaged doors, and compromised trim, and we’ll flag any structural issues that need carpentry before screening.
We’ll confirm payment options with your written estimate and invoice. If your project requires a deposit for custom materials, we’ll state that upfront.
When a screen frame is bent, out of square, or corroded, the screen will not seat correctly and you end up with gaps, rattles, and premature screen tears. Raleigh Screens provides screen frame repair and screen frame replacement for window screens, sliding screen doors, porch panels, and other framed screening systems. We evaluate the condition of the frame, the hardware, and the track it fits into, then rebuild or replace the frame to restore a snug, consistent fit. If your current frame is pulling apart at the corners, has a damaged spline channel, or no longer sits flush, we can bring it back to spec or fabricate a new frame to match the opening.
Screen frame repair is often possible when the aluminum is intact and the issue is loose corner keys, a minor twist, or worn hardware. In those cases we can re-square the assembly, replace corners, reset tension springs or tabs, and prep the spline groove so the screen can be reinstalled without puckers. If the frame is creased, heavily oxidized, cracked at a corner, or the spline channel is deformed, replacement is usually the most reliable option.
For screen frame replacement, we fabricate a new frame from matching aluminum screen frame stock (commonly 5/16 inch or 3/8 inch depth) and build it to the correct width, height, and corner geometry for the opening. Accurate miter cuts, the right corner keys, and proper hardware placement are what keep a frame square and easy to remove for cleaning. We also confirm the frame sits flat in the track, does not bind, and maintains even contact around the perimeter.
If you are dealing with bent window screens, porch panels that no longer sit tight, or a screen door frame that feels loose, we can help you choose the right path. Share a few photos and basic measurements, and we will provide a straightforward, written plan for your screen frame repair or replacement, along with a clear price and timeline.
