Which Window Screen Solutions Does Eldorado Screens Offer

New Window Screen Installation

Does your window have no screen at all? We can fix that. We install brand-new screens on any window in your home. First, we measure the opening. Next, we build the frame and stretch the mesh. Then we set it in place and make sure it fits right. This service is common for newly built homes, older homes with missing screens, and windows that were never screened from the start.

Window Screen
Replacement

Old screens get torn, faded, or bent over time. A damaged screen does not protect your home the way it should. We remove your old screen and put in a fresh one. You get a clean look, a tight fit, and a screen that actually keeps bugs out. Replacement is fast. In most cases, we can replace your screens in a single visit.

Custom-Size Window Screen Fabrication

Not every window is a standard size. Older homes, arched windows, and oversized casements need screens built to fit. We measure your window exactly. Then we cut and build a custom screen frame to match. This means you get a screen that fits your window, not one that was almost the right size. We build custom screens for any shape.

Window Screen Re-Screening

If your frame is still in good shape, you may not need a whole new screen. You may just need a new mesh. Re-screening means we keep your existing frame and replace only the mesh inside it. This saves you money. It also creates less waste. We also replaced the spline. That is the rubber strip that holds the mesh inside the frame. A tight spline keeps the screen from sagging or popping out.

Screen Frame Repair

Bent frames, broken corner clips, and cracked tracks all cause problems. A damaged frame means your screen will not sit right. We repair aluminum frames, replace corner keys, and fix wooden frames on older homes. We also match paint or powder coat color so the repaired frame blends in with your existing windows. Also, if a frame is too damaged to repair, we replace it entirely.

Screen Door Installation

A screen door lets air flow through your home without letting bugs in. It also adds a layer of security and keeps pets from darting outside. We install screen doors on front entries, back patios, sliding glass doors, and utility doorways. We fit the door to the frame and adjust the tension so it closes smoothly every time.

How Our Window Screen Installation Works

Getting new window screens is simple. Here is exactly what happens when you call Eldorado Screens.

01

You Call or Request a Quote

Start by giving us a call or filling out our quote form online. Tell us how many screens you need and what kind of windows you have. We will ask a few quick questions to understand what you are working with. Next, we set up a time to come out. We work around your schedule.

02

Measure Every Window

We come to your home and measure each window opening by hand. We do not rely on guesses or standard sizes. Every measurement is taken on-site so each screen fits exactly right. Also, we check your existing frames. If a frame can be reused, we will tell you.

03

Install Your Screens

Once we have your measurements, we get to work. We cut and build each screen frame to the exact size. Then we stretch the mesh tight, press in the spline, and trim everything clean. Next, we install each screen in your window and check the fit. We walk you through the screen options that make the most sense for your home.

04

Finish & Final Check

When the job is finished, we pick up all our materials and leave your home clean. We do a final walkthrough with you so you can check every screen before we go. If anything is not right, we fix it on the spot. We want you to feel good about the work before we drive away.

Complete Your Home Screen Setup

 

While window screens protect individual rooms, having functional door screens is just as important for whole-house airflow, which is why homeowners trust our licensed screen repair service in El Dorado. During our on-site installation, we use a heavy-duty spline roller tool to tightly stretch Phifer PetScreen vinyl-coated polyester mesh into the frames. This guarantees a durable, rattle-free fit that satisfies El Dorado County building code requirements for wind load and ventilation in residential structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my screen needs repair or full replacement?
Look at your screen closely. If the mesh has a small tear or hole, a repair may be enough. If the mesh is stretched, sagging, or full of holes, or if the frame is bent, a full replacement is the better choice. We can take a look and give you an honest assessment.
Yes. We build custom screens for arched windows, oversized openings, and windows with non-standard dimensions. We measure the opening on-site and build the screen to match exactly.
Re-screening means we keep your existing frame and put in new mesh. This works when the frame is still straight and in good shape. Full replacement means we build a brand-new frame and mesh together. We will tell you which option makes more sense for your screens.
Yes. Pet-resistant screens use a heavy-duty mesh that holds up to clawing and pushing from dogs and cats. They cost a bit more than standard screens, but they last much longer in pet households.
No-see-um screens have a much finer mesh than standard screens. They block very small insects like gnats, midges, and tiny flies that pass right through regular mesh. If you live near a creek, river, or wooded area in El Dorado County, you may want to consider them.

Yes, especially for homes in or near fire-prone zones like Pollock Pines, Rescue, or Garden Valley. During wildfire season, burning embers can travel through the air and enter your home through open windows. Ember-guard screens are specifically designed to block those embers and reduce the risk of interior ignition.

Most single-home visits take one to two hours, depending on the number of screens. Custom-built screens may take a little longer since we are fabricating them on-site or bringing pre-built frames we sized during a prior measurement visit.
Solar screens reduce glare and filter light, but you can still see through them from inside the home. The view is slightly tinted, similar to lightly tinted sunglasses. From outside, solar screens provide more privacy since they make it harder to see in.
The cost depends on the size of the screen, the type of mesh, and how many screens you need. Standard screens are the most affordable. Specialty screens like pet-resistant, solar, or ember-guard cost more because of the materials involved. Call us or fill out our quote form we will give you a clear price before we start any work.
