Window & Door Repair Company
The mesh is torn, sagging, or the frame is bent — that is window screen repair, not a roll of screening and a Saturday with a spline roller.
WindowServ repairs, rescreens, and builds replacement window screens across New Jersey homes. You get the right mesh, a true frame, and the screen back in the opening. Book expert help today.
Name, phone, ZIP, and a photo of the screen. We reply the same day.

Most calls start the same way: a tear from a pet, a sagging panel that won’t stay tight, or a frame that no longer sits square in the opening. These are the problems we fix.
This page is about screens — not glass, operators, or the window frame itself. For the full window menu see all window repair services. If a clip or latch on the window (not the screen) is broken, that is window hardware repair.
If the frame is still true, we almost always rescreen it — new mesh and spline in the frame you already have. A full new screen makes sense when the frame is bent, the corners have failed, or the old panel is gone.
| Problem | Usually fixed by | When a new screen is better |
|---|---|---|
| Small hole or tear | Rescreen in the same frame | Many tears across the panel |
| Sagging mesh | New spline and proper tension | Frame rails are bowed |
| Bent frame | Straighten when mild | Rack or twist that won’t stay square |
| Sun-cracked mesh | Always new mesh | — |
| Pet damage | New mesh (often pet-resistant) | Frame chewed or crushed |
| Missing screen | Custom screen to measure | — |
If the screen won’t seat because the window sash is warped, that is not a screen problem — see window sash replacement. When the whole window frame is finished, we say so once and point you to window replacement.
Our window screen repair service covers what the opening actually needs — rescreen, frame work, or a custom panel — not a one-size kit from a shelf.
Fresh screen mesh, new spline, and even tension. When the frame is sound, this is the standard window screen replacement for the panel you already own — faster and cleaner than forcing a store-bought size that almost fits.

We straighten mild bends, replace corner keys, and renew tabs, clips, and springs so the panel locks into the window again. That is window screen frame repair when the rails can still carry mesh.

New frames and mesh cut to your opening when the old screen is lost, crushed, or non-standard. Odd widths and taller sashes are measured, not guessed.
Book help →We also repair and rescreen sliding glass door screens when the mesh tears or the roller track fights you. Same craft as window screens — different hardware and weight. Sliding glass door screen repair is quoted with the opening, not as an afterthought.
We match mesh to the window: sun exposure, pets, how much view you want, and how much air you need. Window screen mesh replacement is not one SKU for every opening.
| Mesh | Best for | Airflow and view | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiberglass | Most homes — flexible and standard | Good airflow and a clear view | Tears more easily than metal |
| Aluminum | Harsh sun and longer wear | Crisp look; holds shape | Can dent; may oxidize |
| Pet-resistant | Windows and doors with animals | Slightly less open; mesh pattern shows | Stronger vinyl-coated polyester |
| Solar screen | West and south exposures | Cuts heat and fade; darker view | Limits brightness on purpose |
Standard insect mesh is often fiberglass in an 18×16 weave. Pet-resistant cloth is built to take claws. Solar screen is for heat and fading, not for “invisible” views. We confirm the pick with you before we stretch it.
Some screens are fixed at the house. Others leave with us for shop tensioning and come back for fit check. A few homeowners drop panels at the shop when that is easier.
Your estimate says which path fits the job — count of screens, access, and whether the frame needs a bench. You are not left guessing whether someone will “maybe” take them away.
Send a photo first. We tell you if a visit is enough or if the frame needs shop time.
The cost of window screen repair depends on the opening — not a single catalog number. These factors move window screen repair prices:
You send a picture or describe the tear, sag, or bent frame. We narrow rescreen vs new screen.
We confirm frame condition, opening size, and how the screen seats in the window.
You approve the mesh type and the work — rescreen, frame repair, or custom build.
New mesh and spline, frame work, or a built-to-size panel.
The screen goes back in the opening. We check tabs, springs, and seating before we leave.
Screens fail on every brand of double-hung, casement, slider, and picture window we see in New Jersey. Don’t know the label? A photo of the frame and how it clips in is enough to start.
Brand names show the window types we service. WindowServ is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by these manufacturers. We do not promise OEM-only screen parts unless that is what the opening needs and we can source it.
Real screen work from New Jersey jobs — mesh, frames, and fit — not stock photos of DIY kits.
We work on the whole window. A screen job is often where we first see a failing sash, seal, or sill — and we say so if another repair matters more.
Sound frames get new mesh. Failed frames get rebuilt. We don’t sell a new window through a screen quote.

The cost of window screen repair depends on how many screens, the size, the mesh type, and whether we can keep the frame or need a custom panel. Access and height matter too. Send a photo for a same-day estimate — we do not publish a single catalog price.
If the frame is still square, we usually rescreen it with new mesh and spline — that window screen replacement keeps your existing frame. A full new screen is the better call when the frame is bent, the corners have failed, or the panel is missing. Your photo estimate says which path fits.
Timing depends on count, mesh, and whether the work is on site or needs shop time. Many simple rescreens finish in a short visit once materials are set. Custom frames take longer. We confirm the schedule with your quote.

Both happen. Some screens are fixed at the house; others leave for shop tensioning and come back for fit check. Your estimate states which path the job needs before work starts.
Yes. We rescreen and rebuild screens on common residential brands and unlabeled openings. We match the screen to the window — we do not claim manufacturer endorsement or OEM-only parts unless that is what the opening requires and we can source it.
Pet-resistant mesh is a heavier vinyl-coated polyester cloth made to take claws better than standard fiberglass. Airflow and the view are a bit reduced. For lower sashes and doors with animals, it is usually the smarter rescreen choice.
