A torn screen may be unsightly but it can also affect how you live. No dinner on the lanai for instance. At Excellent Sliding Door, we repair all types of screens for windows, doors, lanai, and storefronts. We get a lot of similar repairs. Tampa screen repair is our specialty.
A long time ago a dog went through that. A tree branch fell on the cage in a summer storm. The sliding screen had fallen off the track again. The wire mesh was all gray and brittle from having been left out in the sun for 10 years.
Most whole screens can be rescreened. The frame of a screen is typically a very durable part of the screen and tends to last for a long time. The mesh, spline, and screen rollers, on the other hand, will wear out from time to time and will need to be replaced. Re-screening a quality screen frame can cost much less than a completely new screen.
Windows Screen Repair in Tampa, FL
Window screens take the most sun of anything on your house. The mesh goes chalky, then brittle, then it splits when you touch it. If you can push a finger through yours, it is past saving.
Window screen repair usually means new mesh and new spline in your existing frame. We can do it on site for most homes. If the aluminum frame itself is bent or the corners have popped, we rebuild the frame to your exact opening.
Older homes in Hyde Park and Palma Ceia often have odd sizes that no store carries. That is fine. We build to the opening instead of hunting for a stock size that almost fits.
Sun matters too. West-facing windows burn through mesh years faster than the shaded side of the house. If only some of your screens are shot, that is usually why.
Door Screen Repair and Replacement in Tampa, FL
Swinging screen doors and front entry screens take abuse. Kids push the mesh instead of the handle. The closer lets it slam. The bottom panel gets kicked out within a year.
Door screen repair and replacement covers new mesh, bent framework, hinges, closers, latches, and handles. For houses with dogs or kids, we install pet-resistant mesh, which is a heavier woven screen that takes a lot more punishment than standard fiberglass.
A kick plate at the bottom helps too. It gives people something to push that is not the screen. We add them to entry doors all over South Tampa, and they pay for themselves the first summer.

Sliding Screen Door Repair and Replacement in Tampa, FL
This is the one we get called for most. Your sliding screen jumps out of the track, tilts, and now it will not roll at all. Sound familiar? The rollers are worn or the top track is bent.
Sliding screen door repair and replacement starts with the track and the wheels, not the mesh. We check the outer channel of your patio door, clean out the packed sand, and set new rollers with the right height adjustment so the screen hangs square and stays in the track.
If the frame is twisted past saving, we build a new screen door sized to your opening. Same day in many cases, since we measure and assemble locally instead of ordering a stock unit.
One tip. If your screen door keeps popping out on windy days, the top rollers are usually set too low. That is a five-minute adjustment, not a new door.

Lanai Screen Repair in Tampa, FL
Pool cages and lanais are a Florida thing, and they take a beating here. Summer storms drop branches on the panels. Wind pops the spline out of the channel. Hurricane season leaves whole sections flapping.
Lanai screen repair is done panel by panel. A single blown panel gets rescreened without touching the rest of the cage, so you pay for what broke. We also replace the spline, tighten sagging sections, and swap out damaged door panels on the cage.
For homes near the water in Bayshore Beautiful and Beach Park, we suggest a heavier mesh on the lower panels where the wind and the salt hit hardest. Pet mesh works well down low even in houses without pets.
After a storm, call early. Everyone in South Tampa calls the same week and the schedule fills fast.
Commercial Screen Repair and Replacement in Tampa, FL
Restaurants with open patios, apartment buildings, and offices all deal with screens. When a unit turns over and every screen in it is torn, that is not a weekend project for maintenance staff.
Commercial screen repair and replacement means we handle volume. Property managers in the Channel District and Westshore send us lists of units, and we knock them out in one trip. We can also rescreen restaurant patio panels between service hours so you do not lose a night of seating.
For rental turns, we work off a punch list and bill per unit. That keeps the numbers clean for your books and gets the unit ready to show.
