Window & Entryway Screens in Sarasota, FL

Not every screen in Sarasota is on a cage. The 1950s and 60s ranches of South Gate, Arlington Park, and Kensington Park were built with jalousie and awning windows behind removable screens, and a lot of those frames are on their original mesh. Window and entry screens are the small jobs that fit between the cage jobs, and they are the ones that keep the mosquitoes out of the bedroom.

Window screens

Removable window screens are bench work: the frame comes off the window, old mesh and spline come out, the frame is checked for square and corner condition, new mesh goes in with the right spline, and the screen goes back. Bent or corroded frames are rebuilt with new extrusion and corners. Standard 18/14 charcoal matches most homes; 20/20 is available for bedrooms that face the bay or a creek.

Entry and sliding-door screens

Front-door screens and the sliding screen panels on lanai and patio sliders take the most use of any screen in the house. Rollers, tracks, latches, and handles are replaced along with the mesh, and a slider that has jumped its track is re-set so it glides again. Pet-grade mesh on the lower half is the usual answer where dogs go in and out.

Homes with and without a cage

For homes without an enclosure, this is the whole screen job. For homes with one, the contractor often handles the window screens on the same visit as a lanai rescreen or panel repair. None of it requires a permit.
