Get clean, tight-fitting window screen installation and repair that keeps bugs out and airflow in. Raleigh Screens builds and replaces screens to fit your sash, frame, and hardware, using durable mesh and straight, properly tensioned frames.
Good screen work starts with correct measuring and a solid frame. We inspect the window opening and existing screen channel, then measure height, width, and corner squareness so the screen seats without gaps or bowing. If the frame is reusable, we check it for twists, crushed rails, broken corners, and worn spline grooves before re-screening; if not, we build a new frame from aluminum screen frame stock with matching corner keys. Mesh is installed with the proper spline diameter and a roller tool to maintain even tension, clean corners, and a flat, rattle-free finish.
In this area, screens take a beating from pollen, humidity, UV exposure, pets, and frequent window operation. We help you choose the right window screen mesh, fiberglass for cost-effective visibility, aluminum for added stiffness, pet-resistant mesh for claws, and solar or no-see-um mesh where glare or gnats are a problem. We replace missing pull tabs, lift handles, plungers, and tension springs, and we align them so the screen is easy to remove and reinstall. Every finished screen is checked for edge fray, loose spline, frame flex, and smooth seating so it looks neat from both inside and outside.
Customers choose Raleigh Screens because we focus on fit, materials, and repeatable workmanship, not quick patch jobs. You get clear options for mesh type, frame color, and hardware, plus a written estimate before work starts. Our techs come prepared with screen frame stock, corner connectors, multiple spline sizes, and replacement tabs and springs to complete most jobs in one visit. Licensed and insured service keeps the process straightforward for homeowners, property managers, and small businesses.
Before we wrap up, we do a simple walkthrough and test each window screen in the actual opening. We verify the screen sits flat, latches or springs correctly, and can be removed without bending the frame, then we confirm there are no gaps that invite insects. You receive the mesh and material selections used, basic care tips (how to rinse pollen without loosening spline), and recommendations for any windows with damaged channels or warped frames that can shorten screen life. If you have multiple windows, we can label screens by room or window for easier seasonal cleaning and storage.
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.
A properly built window screen should sit flat, seal tight in the channel, and handle daily use without sagging or popping out. Raleigh Screens provides window screen installation and window screen repair for homes and commercial buildings, including re-screening, new screen frame builds, and replacement of the small parts that make screens work correctly. Whether your screen is torn, the spline is loose, the frame is bent, or the tabs are missing, we focus on accurate measurement, the right mesh, and hardware that fits the window system you already have.
Window screen repair is often more than swapping mesh. If the frame is square and the spline groove is intact, re-screening is a cost-effective fix that restores clarity and airflow. If the frame is bowed, corners are cracked, or the screen no longer seats in the track, a new frame build is usually the better long-term solution. We match frame depth and hardware style so the screen installs smoothly and stays put when the window is opened and closed.
Choosing mesh matters. Standard fiberglass mesh offers good visibility and is a common choice for most windows. Aluminum mesh adds stiffness but can dent if hit; pet-resistant mesh uses heavier yarn for durability near pets and high-traffic windows. For problem insects or comfort upgrades, no-see-um mesh can help with smaller bugs, and solar mesh can reduce glare and heat gain while still allowing ventilation. We will walk you through tradeoffs in visibility, airflow, and strength so you get a window screen that fits how you use the space.
If you are tired of screens that rattle, fall out, or look wavy from the street, schedule an on-site evaluation. We will measure, recommend the right window screen materials, and provide a written estimate, then install or repair your screens with a clean, consistent finish designed to last through seasonal use.
