A made-to-fit replacement window screen in New Jersey costs about $45 to $120 per screen, and specialty mesh or retractable units run higher. Our minimum visit is $495, which covers up to two hours of a licensed tech plus the common frame and mesh stock — so most people have us do the whole house at once instead of one window at a time. We measure on site, build on site and hang them before we leave. No hauling frames to a shop and waiting a week.

A flexible screen has a bendable spring-steel frame. You bow it, pop it into the window channel, and it springs out tight against the track — no hangers, no clips, nothing sticking out on the outside. It's the honest answer for an old house where every opening is a slightly different size and slightly out of square.
They're also the easy answer for second-floor windows. You take it out and put it back from inside the room, standing on your own floor, instead of on a ladder in November.
We check every window and door, note the frame type, the mesh you need where, and what hardware is broken. You get one written price for the whole list.
Every opening measured individually. In an older house no two are the same, and that's why shop-built 'standard' screens never quite fit.
Frames cut, cornered and splined at your house from stock on the truck, in the mesh you picked for each opening.
Screens fitted, clips and hangers replaced where they're broken, sliders re-rollered, tracks cleaned so the door actually rolls.
You open and close every one with the tech before we leave. Anything that sticks gets fixed then, not on a second trip.
While we're at every window anyway, we look at the things that cost you real money later: a failed seal fogging the glass, a rotted sill under the screen track, a sash lock that doesn't catch, a weep hole packed with dirt so the sill holds water.
We tell you what we see and we put a price on it if you want one. No pressure — most of the time the answer is 'that's fine, leave it.' But a $40 rotted sill corner found in May is a lot cheaper than a $2,000 one found in three years.
Paramus-based, rebuilding screens across all 21 New Jersey counties. Rentals, flips and move-outs too — we'll do a whole building in one visit and give you one itemized invoice.

How we beat the big chains: Big-box screen 'service' means you take the frames off, drive them over, wait a week and put them back yourself. We measure, build and hang at your house in one visit — and we fix the hardware while we're up there. No franchise fees, no commissioned salesmen, no rented subcontractors — that's typically 15–30% under national-brand quotes for the same or better spec. Bring us any written quote and we'll match the scope line by line.
“I dropped eight screens at a shop, waited two weeks, and three of them still don't fit.”
“The dog went through the new screen in a week and they told me that's normal wear.”
“They re-screened the window and never fixed the broken clips, so the screen falls out every time it's windy.”

About $45 to $120 per screen depending on size and mesh, with pet-resistant, solar and no-see-um mesh at the higher end and retractable units priced separately. Our minimum visit is $495, covering up to two hours plus common stock, so it's worth batching the whole house into one trip. You get the itemized number before we start.
Yes — that's how we do it. We carry frame stock, corners, spline and mesh on the truck, measure each opening, build the frames at your house and hang them the same visit. You never lose a screen to a shop for a week.
Pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester. It's roughly seven times thicker than standard fiberglass and holds up to claws and a dog leaning on it. We usually run it on doors, sliders and first-floor windows and use standard mesh upstairs so you're not paying for the heavy stuff where nothing touches it.
On a west- or south-facing window, noticeably. The mesh blocks 65 to 90 percent of the sun's heat before it hits the glass, so the room stays cooler and the AC runs less. The trade-off is a darker view and less light, so we bring samples and hold them up at the window before you decide.
Screens with a bendable spring-steel frame that you bow and pop into the window channel. No external hangers, nothing to break off, and they fit out-of-square openings in older New Jersey homes that standard rigid frames won't. You also take them in and out from inside the room instead of from a ladder.
Yes. Porch panels, screened enclosures and pool cages get re-screened the same way — old spline out, frames cleaned, new mesh rolled and tensioned. On big panels we add a mid-rail or a tension system so the mesh doesn't belly in the wind.
