How is your service different from a DIY window screen repair kit?
We love the DIY spirit, but when it comes to screen repair, there is a big difference between a patch job and a professional restoration. DIY kits are often designed as temporary band-aids. They might cover a hole, but they rarely look good or last long. Our professional service is about restoring the integrity, tension, and clarity of your view.
Here is why hiring a professional beats the DIY kit approach:
1. Material Quality
Store-bought kits often use lower-grade, folded mesh that holds creases. We use professional-grade rolls of fiberglass or aluminum mesh that are kept flat and smooth. Our spline (the rubber seal) is selected specifically for the groove size of your frame, ensuring a hold that won't pop out in strong winds.
2. The 'Taut' Factor
Getting a screen tight without warping the frame is an art form. If it's too loose, it looks wavy and flapping in the wind. If it's too tight, it hourglasses (bows) the frame in. Our technicians have screened thousands of doors and know exactly the right tension to apply for a glass-smooth finish.
3. Tools and Expertise
We use professional spline rollers and specialized tools to tuck mesh into tight corners without tearing it—a common frustration with the plastic tools found in DIY kits.
Ultimately, a professional repair looks invisible. A DIY patch looks like... a patch.
