Screens in Cedar Park take more abuse than the glass they cover, and they are the part of a window most often written off as unfixable when it is not. Mesh tears, splines back out of the channel, frames bow, and the whole assembly stops doing its job while still looking fine from inside.
Quick answer
Most window screen problems can be repaired on-site: torn mesh, bent splines, missing handles, priced per window.
The checklist is the same everywhere. What is on your glass is not. These are the conditions that actually shape this job in Cedar Park. Each one is true here and false in plenty of other towns we serve.
Most Cedar Park homeowners assume a torn screen means a new screen from the window manufacturer, which is expensive and slow. In practice the frame is almost always fine and only the mesh and spline need replacing. A fraction of the cost, done on site. We only recommend a new frame when the frame itself is bent past straightening or the corner keys have failed. If we can rescreen it we will, and we will tell you plainly which of yours are which.
Fiberglass mesh re-screening, the most common repair. We replace the mesh in the existing frame with new fiberglass. Standard charcoal color; pet-grade and solar-grade meshes available at slight upcharge.
Spline replacement, the rubber gasket that holds the mesh in the frame channel. Brittle or stretched spline gets replaced as part of any re-screen.
Bent frame correction, minor bends are straightened on-site. Severely bent frames (corner crushed, channel distorted) get a new frame fabricated to match.
Pet-grade mesh, heavier vinyl-coated polyester for cat or dog claws. About 30% upcharge but lasts 5-10× longer in pet households.
Solar-grade mesh, denser weave that blocks 70-90% of UV. Common request for west-facing windows where summer sun is brutal.
Pull tabs and handles, replaced with matching color hardware.
When we remove screens for cleaning, we note any tears, bent frames, missing splines, or stretched mesh and email you a quote on the spot.
Our service truck carries fiberglass mesh, pet-grade mesh, solar-grade mesh, spline rolls, and the tools to re-screen any standard frame on-site. Most jobs are done in 15-30 minutes per window.
Severely bent frames or non-standard sizes get sent to our shop. New frames are fabricated and reinstalled within 5-7 business days.
Every reinstalled screen is verified for proper fit, smooth operation, and tight mesh. Pet-grade mesh is finger-tested for resistance.
Most customers bundle screen repair with the next window cleaning visit. Saves a trip and qualifies for the bundle discount.

Colorado wind events shred fiberglass mesh fast, particularly on west-facing windows where chinook winds and afternoon thunderstorms hit hardest. Annual screen inspection during your spring window cleaning is the practical maintenance interval.
Hail country (Boulder, Fort Collins, Loveland), hail can punch holes in mesh and dent frames. Post-storm screen inspection is a common request, often before insurance walkthroughs.
Pet-grade mesh is increasingly popular in Colorado homes with dogs, particularly large breeds and active outdoor cats. Standard fiberglass mesh fails fast against claws; vinyl-coated polyester lasts 5-10× longer.
Repair, in most cases. The frame usually survives even when the mesh is destroyed, and rescreening, new mesh and new spline in the existing frame, costs a fraction of a new manufactured screen and is done on site. A new frame is only warranted when it is bent past straightening or the corner keys have failed. We will tell you which category each of yours is in.
Yes, and it is the efficient way to do it, since the screens are already off the frames. We inspect each one as it comes off, flag what is damaged, and quote rescreening per window. You approve which ones to do. Nothing gets done and billed by surprise.
Screen repair is priced per window, and the price depends on the mesh: standard fiberglass costs less than pet-grade or solar-grade mesh, and a severely bent frame that needs new fabrication costs more than a simple re-screen. You get the exact per-window price before any work starts.
Most of the time, yes. Our service truck carries mesh, spline, and the re-screening tools we need for any standard frame. About 90% of screen repairs are done on-site in 15-30 minutes per window.
Yes, when bundled with a window cleaning visit. Standalone screen repair typically runs same-week. Severe damage requiring new frame fabrication runs 5-7 business days.
Vinyl-coated polyester mesh that's much more resistant to claws than standard fiberglass. Lasts 5-10× longer in households with active pets. About 30% upcharge per window over standard mesh, but worth it for active dog or cat households.
