Screens fail in two ways, and the difference decides whether this costs you twenty-five dollars or a hundred. Either the mesh tears, which is a cheap fix on a sound frame, or the frame itself bends and the spline groove gives up, at which point re-screening it produces a screen that bows and pops out again within a season. Plenty of companies quote a new frame by default because it is the larger ticket. We will tell you which one you actually have, and on most jobs it is the cheap one.

What this means in Falcon specifically

Elevation and sun exposure

Nearly 7,000 feet with almost no terrain shielding, so both UV and wind act on glass at full strength year round.

Dust and wind exposure

Open plains east of the Springs with essentially no windbreak. This is the dustiest part of our service area and screens here load faster than anywhere else we work.

Local housing stock

Built out heavily through the 2000s and 2010s, which puts most homes at the age where original screens are going brittle and tracks have accumulated a decade of grit.

Falcon sits at approximately 6,900 feet.

How we do it

1
Assess frame versus mesh
The first thing worth knowing is whether your frame is sound. A bent frame or a stripped spline groove will not hold tension no matter how good the mesh is, and re-screening it wastes your money. We check each one and sort them into repair, replace, and leave alone.
2
Match the mesh to the elevation
Standard fiberglass suits most openings. Solar mesh belongs on the south and west elevations that take the afternoon load. Pet-resistant is heavier and more visible, and it is only worth it where an animal has already made the case.
3
Re-screen under tension
Old mesh and spline out, new mesh cut oversize, tensioned across the frame, then splined so it sits flat. Mesh splined without tension looks fine on the bench and bows in the opening.
4
Fit every screen back in its own opening
Screens are not interchangeable even when they look identical, because openings are rarely square after twenty years. Each one goes back where it came from and gets checked.

Screen Repair questions from Falcon

How much does window screen repair cost?

Re-screening a standard existing frame runs about 25 to 45 dollars per screen depending on size and mesh type. A new frame built to your opening is typically 65 to 120 dollars. Sliding patio door screens are larger and use heavier frames, so those run higher. There is usually a minimum for a single-screen visit, which is why it is worth doing all of them at once.

Should I repair or replace the screen?

Repair if the frame is straight and the spline groove is intact — that describes most torn screens and it is much cheaper. Replace if the frame is bent, the corners have separated, or the groove is stripped, because a re-screen on a bad frame bows and pops out again. Aluminum frames from the 1970s and 80s are the most common replacement here; they corrode at the corners and go brittle.

Can you repair screens without taking them away?

Yes. We re-screen on site for most jobs, which means you get them back the same visit rather than living without screens for a week. Large or unusual frames occasionally need to go to the shop, and we will say so before we take anything.

What is solar screen mesh and is it worth it?

A denser weave that blocks a meaningful share of solar heat before it reaches the glass, cutting glare and cooling load. The trade-off is visibility — it is noticeably darker looking out. At this elevation the UV load on south and west elevations is genuinely high, and solar mesh on those two sides while leaving standard mesh elsewhere is the arrangement most people are happiest with.

Do you do sliding door and patio screens?

Yes, including the rollers and the latch. Patio screen doors take more abuse than any window screen in the house and they are the most common thing we get called about after a summer with a dog.

Can you match my existing screens?

Usually, on frame color and mesh type. Older or discontinued frame profiles cannot always be matched exactly, and we will tell you before you commit rather than after. Where an exact match is not possible, doing a full elevation at once keeps it from looking patched.

How long does it take?

Most houses are a single visit. A dozen screens re-screened on site is a couple of hours. New frames need measuring first, so those are a two-visit job unless the sizes are standard.
