Window rescreening with old frames

Posted on by

Working in Westlake Village in a very nice area I came across a window rescreening job that just kept growing.  The client called because he had a few window screen he needed to have rescreen but he did not know which ones he wanted one.  What I do in this case is come over and give you a free estimate, I look at all the screens with the client and pick out the ones that need new screen mesh the most.

The screen repair process is simple, i have to asses the situation looking at the frame condition then the corners to see if they are plastic or not and if the will hold up with new screen.  Replacing the screen material is the cheaper way to go when thinking about screen replacement if possible but thats not always the case. Sometimes frames are cracked, bent or even missing and if they are then the only option is making a new custom screen on the spot.

Rescreening a Pella screen door

Posted on by

When it comes to special order, dealing with a Pella screen doors feels just like it.  Rescreening  these doors are a lot of work because they are so delicate and the spring that is incorporated on them is very fragile.  The auto closer system on this screen door work very good for a very long time.  The is manufacture makes the slider out of wood and aluminum and the spline channel area is very shallow and does not allow the screen  to be held strong enough for a lot of pressure being applied on the mesh it self by hands pushing on it.

The Pella slider screen come with plastic rollers that are adjustable on top and bottom and roll smooth. The handle is also plastic in and out with a light metal lock latch that, for being plastic works very well.  All the parts and design on the product is strange but does work and last well.  When I re-screen this porch door I have to make sure that the fiber glass mesh goes on straight and tight, because the channels are so small the rubber spline need to hold that screen hard.  Dogs and kids will test it’s strength and I don’t like to let my clients down.
