You open the windows on a nice fall evening and a mosquito finds you in minutes. Then you spot the hole. Excellent Sliding Door handles window screen repair in Tampa for homes, condos, and rentals. We fix torn mesh, bent frames, and missing screens so you can let fresh air in without the bugs.
Signs You Need Window Screen Repair
Here is what people usually tell us:
- There is a hole or rip in the screen
- The screen is bent and will not sit in the window
- The screen falls out or rattles
- The mesh pulled away from the frame
- A screen went missing after painting or a storm
Insects are found in Tampa year-round. Even small holes in screens can allow in the many species of mosquitoes as well as various species of gnats. Cost-effective window screen repair allows for use of your windows year-round. Screens also help to keep cool air in on mild spring and fall days.
Repair the Mesh or Replace the Frame?
The most common window screen repair is to replace the mesh and spline if the frame is straight and the corners are tight.
If the frame of your screen is bent, cracked or rusted, then a new frame is better to use. A bent frame will create gaps for bugs to enter. If a screen is missing, we make new screens. This happens a lot after exterior painting or other window work.
Screen Options for Tampa Homes
Most windows are screened with standard fiberglass mesh. It’s a soft material that provides a clear view and is rustproof. If you have pets, then pet screen may be a better option as it’s thicker and will withstand their claws. For windows that face west, we recommend Solar screen to block sun and heat.
Most older homes – whether in Hyde Park and Palma Ceia or in a condo in the Channel District or Westshore – have unusual sizes for their windows. We take precise measurements of every window to be sure the correct screens fit.
When renting out a house in South Tampa, it is wise to inspect the window screens between tenants. Often torn or missing window screens are one of the first items the new renters will notice. A fast repair of the window screens will give the impression that the owner takes care of his property.
Easy Care Tips
Remove the screens and wash them once or twice a year with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow the screens to dry completely before putting them back. Salt air from the Bayshore area can cause quicker buildup of grime and soil on the screens. Store removed screens flat in a dry location to prevent bending of the frame.
