Fixing Torn Mesh and Bent Frames

Professional window screen repair services in Greenwich, Connecticut for fast, lasting results.

When a screen tears or a frame bends out of shape, you lose the ability to open your windows without inviting bugs inside. Across Greenwich, older homes and newer builds alike experience screen damage from weather, kids, and pets pushing against the mesh, leaving you stuck choosing between fresh air and a room full of insects.

Gunderson Flooring and Design repairs torn mesh, straightens bent frames, and secures loose screens so they function the way they did when first installed. You can bring damaged screens to the shop or arrange for on-site repairs depending on what works best for your schedule. The process involves removing the old spline, cutting new mesh to size, and stretching it tight across the frame before locking it in place with fresh spline material.

If your screens need attention in Greenwich, reach out to discuss repair options that fit your timeline.

What Happens During a Screen Repair

You schedule a time to drop off your screens or have them repaired at your Greenwich home, depending on the condition of the frames and how many need work. The technician removes the damaged mesh, inspects the frame for warping or cracks, and cuts a new piece of mesh slightly larger than the opening to ensure a tight fit once it is stretched and seated into the channel.

Once the repair is complete, you will notice the mesh sits flat without wrinkles, the frame holds its shape when handled, and the screen slides back into the window track smoothly. Airflow improves immediately, and insects no longer find their way through gaps or tears in the mesh.

Repairs typically use fiberglass or aluminum mesh depending on your preference and the original screen type. Frames made of wood or aluminum are handled differently, and if a frame is too damaged to hold new mesh securely, a full replacement may be recommended instead of a patch repair.

Questions Before You Schedule a Repair

Homeowners often want to know how long repairs take, whether they should bring screens in themselves, and what to expect if a frame is too damaged to save.

How long does a typical window screen repair take?
Most single-screen repairs are completed in under thirty minutes once the frame is ready for new mesh. Larger orders or screens with damaged frames may take longer depending on the extent of the work.
What type of mesh do you use for repairs?
Fiberglass mesh is the most common choice for its durability and visibility, though aluminum mesh is available if you need extra strength or pet resistance. You can choose based on your household needs.
When should I replace a screen instead of repairing it?
If the frame is cracked, severely warped, or rusted through, replacing the entire screen is usually more reliable than attempting a repair. The technician will assess the frame condition before starting work.
Why does my screen keep popping out of the window frame?
This usually happens when the spline has dried out and no longer grips the channel tightly, or when the frame itself has bent slightly. Replacing the spline and re-stretching the mesh typically solves the problem.
How do I know if I need on-site service or if I can bring the screens in?
If you can easily remove the screens yourself, bringing them to the shop saves time. If the screens are stuck, unusually large, or part of a custom window setup in your Greenwich home, on-site service is the better option.
