If your screens look weathered, are torn, or no longer fit correctly, it may be time to think about window screen replacements. This article reviews your available options for window screen replacements from Total Screen, and you can click here to contact us right away.
Why Replace Old Window Screens?
Signs that your window screens might be ready for replacement include:
• Fraying or tearing around the mesh edges
• Dents or warping in the frame
• Gaps where the mesh no longer meets the frame
• Sun-faded or discolored sections
If your window screen frames look like this, then it may be time for replacements.
Traditional fiberglass screens often lose their UV protection over time, which can make the mesh more brittle. If you’ve noticed your screens deteriorating faster than expected, it’s worth upgrading to more durable materials.
Two Main Approaches to Window Screen Replacements
Take a trip to your hardware store and check out their pre-made window-screen sizes.
- Do-It-Yourself (DIY)
Handy homeowners can purchase basic, one-size-fits-most screens from big-box stores. This approach tends to cost less up front, but “pre-made” screens are rarely a perfect fit—especially if your existing screen frames aren’t standard size. You’ll likely need some tools for resizing, and you should be comfortable climbing a ladder if you plan to replace second-story (or higher) windows. - 2. Hire a Professional
Working with an expert, such as our team at Total Screen, ensures you’ll get custom window screen replacements that match both the exact dimensions and style of your home.
• Measure each window precisely for a snug, polished look
• Offer multiple frame colors and mesh types (including Solar Screens for Windows)
• Handle installation quickly, and remove old, damaged screens in a single visit
Window Screen Material Options
There are a variety of window-screen material options available, so it's important to choose a mesh type that matches your needs.
• Fiberglass Mesh:
A classic choice, known for its flexibility and budget-friendly price. However, it may lose effectiveness over time, especially in direct sunlight.

• Solar or “Sun-Blocking” Mesh:
Perfect for rooms that get too much light and heat. We provide Solar Screens for Windows in various strengths so you can decide how much brightness to filter out. Solar screens also help lower energy costs by keeping interior temperatures cooler.
