What does window screen repair & new screens involve?+
Clarify whether the request is for new mesh in an existing screen frame or a complete replacement screen. Ask the provider to assess the frame, identify the mesh and attachment details, and confirm the dimensions and fit. Include any replacement tabs, springs or other fittings in the scope instead of assuming they come with a mesh repair.
How is the price decided?+
The scope depends on the condition, access and parts needed. Ask for a written quote for window screen repair & new screens, including any callout charge, before authorizing work. Prices are not published on these pages; ask for the written quote.
What information should I have ready?+
Describe the issue: Mosquitoes get through a torn screen, or the whole frame is bent and falls out whenever I open the window. Have your address, relevant model or hardware details and any previous work records ready.
How soon can the work be arranged?+
Confirm availability and the expected time on site when you contact the provider. Access, diagnosis and parts availability can affect the appointment; this page does not promise an arrival time.
How will I know what is included?+
Ask which of these are part of the proposed scope: insect screen mesh, aluminum screen frame, corner keys, spline, pull tabs, tension springs. Confirm exclusions and the completion check in writing.
Is replacing the mesh the same job as replacing the screen frame?+
No. Ask the assessment to distinguish torn mesh from a bent frame, damaged corners or missing retaining hardware. The quote should name the parts being retained and replaced; new mesh alone does not describe the complete repair scope.
Which measurements identify a replacement window screen?+
Use the identification method for the actual window. Andersen’s 400 Series casement selector uses visible glass width and height to identify screens, alongside product and screen options. Ask the provider to confirm the model and compatible screen instead of treating one measurement method as universal.
Can I choose a different mesh or frame finish?+
Ask which options fit the identified unit. Andersen lists Conventional and TruScene screens for its casement windows, with finish choices. Compare the actual proposed sample, appearance and product details; an option listed for that range does not establish compatibility with another window.
What should be checked when the repaired screen is refitted?+
Ask the provider to demonstrate its fit, retention and removal method, and confirm that the window still operates as intended. Keep the screen identification and agreed mesh specification so a future replacement can be matched.
