Great Lakes Screen Repair
Our Services
Your screens are more than just mesh. They are essential barriers that protect your home, allow fresh air in, and enhance curb appeal. At Great Lakes Screen Repair, we provide comprehensive, expert solutions for every screen challenge.
Window Screen Repairs
We offer a full spectrum of services dedicated to the repair and complete replacement of your window screens. Our commitment is to restore functionality and aesthetic quality to your windows with superior materials and expert craftsmanship, ensuring optimal insect protection, airflow, and curb appeal for your home or business.
Window Re-screening
We can replace worn mesh while keeping your existing frame intact with our window rescreening services. This is the most efficient choice if your screens have small tears, holes, or general wear, as it improves durability and appearance while extending their lifespan. We provide a variety of high-quality mesh options, each with distinct benefits:
​
-
Fiberglass Mesh: The industry standard. This durable, affordable, and flexible mesh resists corrosion and provides good visibility, making it the most common choice for general-purpose window and door screening.
-
Aluminum Mesh: A stronger, more rigid option that resists sagging and tearing. It is ideal for high-traffic areas or large openings and is coated to resist corrosion and maintain a classic, clean appearance.
-
Pet Screen: Heavy-duty, vinyl-coated polyester mesh designed to resist tears and punctures caused by household pets. It is seven times stronger than traditional screening, providing exceptional durability without sacrificing visibility.
Window Screen Replacment
A screen is only as good as its frame. We address all issues related to the structural integrity of your screens. Screen frames are typically lightweight aluminum or vinyl channels that hold the mesh in place and secure the screen into the window opening. The type of screen frame needed is generally dictated by the type of window it is covering:
​
-
Frame Repair: We can fix bent, warped, or broken screen frames, which often saves you the cost of a full replacement. This includes replacing worn-out spline, corners, tension springs, and other essential hardware.
-
Custom Sizing and Fabrication: We specialize in fabricating completely new screens to exact specifications for non-standard windows, oversized openings. Our custom service ensures a perfect fit, providing maximum performance and a seamless look for any window in your home. We handle everything from measuring to on-site installation.
Window Screen Cleaning
While often seen as a minor chore, proper cleaning is essential for maintaining the clarity, airflow, and lifespan of your window screens. Over time, screens accumulate dirt, dust, pollen, and environmental residue, which can impede ventilation and visibility. We offer professional, gentle, and effective screen cleaning services:
-
Deep Washing: Screens are carefully removed from their frames and thoroughly washed using a gentle cleaning solution to break down accumulated dirt and grime without damaging the mesh or frame.
-
Enhanced Clarity and Airflow: Our cleaning service restores the screen's original clarity, allowing for maximum light and visibility, while opening up the mesh for optimal air exchange.
-
Service Integration: This service can be performed as a standalone request or integrated with any repair or replacement service, ensuring your newly repaired or installed screens start their life completely clean.
Door Screen Repairs
We offer specialized services for a variety of door screen systems. This includes both the repair and complete replacement of door screens for various types of entry points, ensuring they are functional and provide the necessary protection for your home.
Sliding Screen Door's
Sliding patio door screens are essential for enjoying fresh air without inviting pests into your home. We offer full-service solutions for these systems, including:
​
-
Re-screening: Replacing torn or worn mesh with durable, high-quality screen material (such as standard fiberglass, pet-resistant screening, or solar screen) to restore clarity and protection.
-
Roller and Track Repair: Fixing or replacing worn-out rollers, damaged wheels, and bent or obstructed tracks to ensure a smooth, effortless slide.
-
Frame Straightening and Repair: Addressing bent or damaged aluminum frames that prevent the screen from operating correctly.
Storm Door's
Storm doors often feature interchangeable glass and screen panels, and we specialize in keeping the screen component in top condition. Our storm door screen services include:
​
-
Panel Re-screening: Replacing damaged screen material within the removable storm door panel inserts.
-
Handle and Latch Adjustments: Ensuring the screen panel properly locks or latches into the storm door frame.
-
Replacement Panel Fabrication: Creating new screen inserts that perfectly match your existing storm door frame.
Door Track Cleaning
A crucial, often-overlooked service is the deep cleaning and maintenance of slider door tracks. Debris, dirt, pet hair, and environmental buildup can accumulate in the narrow channels of the door track, leading to friction, stiffness, and ultimately, damage to rollers and frames. Our comprehensive track cleaning service ensures optimal performance:
-
Debris Removal: Thoroughly cleaning the entire length of the track, removing compacted dirt, stones, leaves, and other obstructions that impede the door's movement.
-
Drainage Check: Ensuring any drainage holes in the track are clear and functional to prevent water pooling and potential corrosion.
Pet Screen Solutions
Adding a screen to your home shouldn’t mean constantly worrying about pet damage. Whether you want to give your pet easy access, protect your screen from scratches, or invest in a more durable material, Screenmobile offers a variety of pet-friendly solutions. Here’s how integrated pet doors, pet guards, and pet screens can enhance both convenience and durability.
Increased Durability
Pet screens are made from tear-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester, making them far more durable than standard screens. They better withstand scratches, claws, and pet-related wear and tear, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Reduced Damage, Not Airflow
Unlike traditional barriers or solid panels, pet screens allow fresh air to flow freely while still providing a clear view outside. They offer the perfect balance of durability and ventilation, ensuring your home stays comfortable without compromising on strength.
Extended Lifespan
Investing in a pet screen solution saves money in the long run by reducing the need for constant screen replacements. With its superior durability, a pet screen provides long-term value while keeping your home looking great.
Specialty Services
At Great Lakes Screen Repair LLC, we go beyond standard screen repair to offer specialized services tailored to unique needs and projects. Our expertise ensures a high-quality finish and lasting solution for even the most challenging screening applications.
Custom Built Solutions
Sometimes, a standard screen just won't cut it. Maybe you have an oddly shaped window or you're dreaming up a unique way to keep bugs out while letting the breeze in. That's where we can help.
Think of our custom-built solutions as your personal screening blueprint service. We don't just fix screens; we create brand-new, bespoke systems designed precisely for your space and your vision. This includes everything from specialty frames for unique architectural windows to large, non-standard enclosures. We come out, take precise measurements, discuss your material preferences (like maybe a heavy-duty pet screen or a nearly invisible mesh), and then fabricate a solution from scratch that fits perfectly. It's all about making sure your home's unique features—no matter how quirky—get a screen solution that looks seamless and works flawlessly. Lets connect and contact us for a free consultation and estimate.
Hardware & Parts Replacment
A screen's functionality relies heavily on its moving parts. We offer comprehensive repair and replacement services for all essential screen door and window hardware, restoring smooth operation and secure closing. This includes:​​
​
-
Rollers and Wheels: Replacing damaged or seized rollers on sliding screen doors and windows, allowing them to glide effortlessly along their tracks.
-
Spring Plungers/Clips: Repairing or replacing missing or broken plungers to guarantee the screen fits snugly against the window frame, eliminating gaps that allow insects to enter.
-
Spline Replacement: We replace old, cracked, or improperly sized spline with new, durable vinyl spline, ensuring the mesh is taut, secure, and perfectly fitted into the frame's channel for maximum longevity and performance.
