Window Screen Replacement & Rescreening in Kansas City

If the frame is straight but the mesh is torn, sagging, or sun-rotted, rescreening is the fix. We pull the old spline, fit new mesh, and reseat it tight in the frame you already have. If the frame is past saving, we build a new screen to size.

Rescreen or Replace?

Most screens in Kansas City fail one of two ways. The mesh gives out first: a pet claws through it, a storm rips it, or years of sun make fiberglass brittle enough to tear at a touch. That is a rescreen job, and the frame stays. The second failure is the frame itself: bent rails from a fall, corners that split, or a spline channel so worn the mesh will not stay seated. That calls for a replacement screen built to your window’s size.

We check both before quoting so you are never paying for a new frame when a rescreen will hold, and never paying to rescreen a frame that will let go again next season.

Mesh Options

  • Standard fiberglass – the everyday choice for windows. Charcoal or silver-gray, good airflow, easy to see through.
  • Aluminum – stiffer and longer-lasting, common on older homes. Holds shape on larger openings.
  • No-see-um mesh – a tighter weave for screened porches and lake homes where gnats get through standard screen.
  • Pet-resistant and solar mesh – covered on our pet and solar screens page.

We match the mesh color you have unless you ask for a change, so one repaired screen does not stand out from the rest of the house.

How the Visit Goes

Screens come off the house, get inspected, and the ones that need mesh are rescreened right there in the driveway. Frames that need rebuilding are measured and quoted before anything is ordered. Everything goes back on the same window it came from. If you are bundling with window cleaning, the glass gets cleaned while the screens are off, which is the cleanest way to do both.

Screen Repair Questions

How long does rescreening take?

A typical window screen takes a few minutes once it is off the house. A full house of screens is usually finished during the same visit as your window cleaning. Frames that need to be built are the exception and we will tell you up front.

Yes. Charcoal and silver-gray fiberglass are both stocked. If you have something unusual, we will show you the closest match before we start.

Not for exterior screens. If interior screens need to come out or you have screens we cannot reach from outside, we will schedule a time that works for you.

A slightly bowed frame can often be straightened and rescreened. If a corner is broken or a rail is kinked, we build a new screen to size instead. See our frame repair page.
