About this service
Window Screen Installation Pasadena CA Explained
Window Screen Installation Pasadena CA is the trade of measuring, cutting, and fitting insect screens into window openings so they seal against the frame and slide or swing without binding. We pull the old spline, roll in fresh screen mesh, and re-tension the frame. On fixed or casement windows we build new frames from scratch. Most homes need between 8 and 22 screens, and we handle every size from a small bathroom slider to a full-height picture window.
Pasadena homes take a beating from sun and dust. UV breaks down fiberglass mesh in about 4 to 6 years on south-facing windows, and our dry summers leave a fine grit that works into the spline channel. If you have been searching for screen installation near me Pasadena and keep finding shops that only sell whole new windows, we do the opposite. We rebuild what you already have, which keeps your original wood frames intact and your budget in check.
- ✓ Bugs Stay Outside
- ✓ Better Airflow All Summer
- ✓ Original Frames Preserved
- ✓ Cleaner Glass and Tracks
What's included
What Our Screen Installation Service Covers
Every screen installation job includes measurement, mesh, spline, and installation. We also clean the glass and track before the screen goes back, so you get a finished window, not just a new piece of mesh. Add-ons like solar mesh or new frames are quoted upfront.
New Mesh and Spline
Standard jobs use 18x16 charcoal fiberglass mesh and fresh spline. We can upgrade to solar mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, or pet-resistant weave. All mesh is cut on site, not pulled from a pre-cut kit.
Frame Re-Tensioning
Old frames lose tension and rattle. We re-roll the spline, straighten minor bends, and replace corner keys when needed. If a frame is cracked beyond repair, we quote a new one instead of forcing it.
Glass and Track Cleaning
We clean the glass on both sides with a squeegee and glass cleaner, then vacuum and wipe the window track. Clogged window tracks and dusty screens are the two biggest reasons glass looks dirty, so we handle both.
Install and Test
Each screen goes into its track and gets opened and closed with you watching. If it drags, we adjust on the spot. You sign off only when every screen moves the way it should.
How it works
How Our Screen Installation Service Works
You call 877-318-1882 and tell us how many windows, what type, and what is wrong. We ask about frame material, whether screens slide or swing, and whether any frames are bent. Two minutes on the phone usually gives us enough to quote a range before we arrive.
We come out, measure every opening to the sixteenth of an inch, and check the spline channel for cracks. If a frame is too far gone to re-screen, we say so and quote a new frame instead. This visit takes 20 to 40 minutes for a typical Pasadena house.
You pick the mesh. Standard charcoal fiberglass is the workhorse. Solar mesh cuts glare and heat on west-facing windows. Pet-resistant mesh uses a thicker weave that stands up to claws. We bring samples so you can feel the difference before deciding.
We cut mesh, roll spline, and set each screen in its track. Frames get a wipe-down and the glass gets cleaned before the screen goes back. A house with 15 windows takes about 3 hours with two technicians on site.
Before we pack up, you open and close every screen with us standing there. If one drags or sits loose, we adjust the tension or the frame on the spot. We do not leave until each screen slides the way it should.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Ettore and Unger squeegees
Used to clean glass on both sides before screens go back in. A sharp squeegee rubber leaves no streaks and no water spots.
Screen repair tool and spline roller
Pulls old spline and rolls new spline into the frame channel under even tension. This is what keeps mesh from sagging.
Microfiber cloth and Invisible Glass
Wipes frames, sills, and interior glass. Microfiber lifts dust without scratching, and Invisible Glass leaves no film.
Extension ladder and water-fed pole
Reaches second-story windows safely. The water-fed pole cleans upper glass with purified water so we are not hauling buckets up a ladder.
Shop vacuum and track brush
Clears clogged window tracks and weep holes before new screens are installed. Clean tracks mean screens slide without binding.
Simple Green and soft wash solution
Cleans dirty mesh and exterior surfaces without harsh chemicals. Safe for fiberglass mesh and aluminum frames.
Real results
Before and after.
Window Screen Installation
Bungalow Heaven Full Re-Screen
A 1923 bungalow had 16 screens, 11 of them torn or sagging. Spline was brittle and popping out of the channel on most frames. The owner had been keeping windows shut all summer because of bugs.
After: We re-screened all 16 frames with charcoal fiberglass mesh and new spline, replaced two cracked corner keys, and cleaned every track and pane. The job took 4 hours. The owner now runs whole-house ventilation instead of AC on cool evenings.

Window Screen Installation
Hastings Ranch Pet Mesh Upgrade
Three sliding doors and four windows had torn mesh from two large dogs. The owner had replaced cheap pre-cut screens twice in 18 months and was tired of the cycle.
After: We installed pet-resistant mesh on all seven openings, re-tensioned the frames, and serviced the door tracks. The thicker weave has held up for over a year with no punctures. Cost was $610 for the full job.

Window Screen Installation
Post-Construction Cleanup in Altadena
A remodel left drywall dust in every window track, sticker residue on the glass, and no screens installed on 24 new windows. The builder needed the punch list cleared before the final walkthrough.
After: We vacuumed and wiped all 24 tracks, removed sticker residue and paint overspray from the glass, and installed new screens on every operable window. The job took two technicians one full day.

Screen Problems We Fix for Pasadena Homes
Most screen calls come down to four issues: tears, sagging, bent frames, and dirty mesh. We fix all four, and we tell you honestly when a repair makes more sense than a replacement.
Ask a pro →Torn mesh from pets and doors
We re-screen the frame with pet-resistant mesh that uses a thicker weave. It costs about $10 more per screen than standard mesh and typically lasts two to three times longer in a house with dogs or cats.
Sagging screens that no longer seal
We pull the old spline, re-roll new spline under tension, and replace any corner keys that have cracked. The screen sits flat again and seals against the frame the way it did when new.
Bent or cracked screen frames
We build a new frame to your exact opening using matching aluminum stock. New frames come with fresh mesh and spline, and we fit them to the existing track so no window modification is needed.
Dusty mesh blocking airflow
We pull each screen, wash it with a soft brush and Simple Green, rinse it, and reinstall. If the mesh is too far gone to clean, we quote re-screening on the same visit.

Price is mostly driven by how many openings you have. A single bathroom slider is a small job. A 22-window house takes most of a day. We quote per screen so you can see exactly where the money goes.

Customer reviews
What Pasadena Customers Say
★★★★★
“We have original 1920s wood windows and I did not want anyone messing with the frames. Rose City re-screened 14 screens and built two new ones for the kitchen. They measured everything twice and the screens sit tight. No gaps, no rattles. The house stays cooler now that we can actually leave windows open at night.”

★★★★★
“Half our screens were torn from the dog and the other half had spline popping out. They quoted $480 for 18 screens and finished in one afternoon. They cleaned the glass and vacuumed the tracks too, which I did not expect. The pet mesh they suggested has held up fine for months now.”

“I manage six rental units near South Lake and needed screens replaced before new tenants moved in. Rose City handled all six units in two visits and invoiced exactly what they quoted. The tenants noticed the difference right away. I have them on the schedule for exterior window cleaning next quarter.”

✓ VerifiedMost Pasadena screen installation jobs run $18 to $45 per screen for re-screening an existing frame, and $55 to $120 per screen when we build a new frame. A typical 15-window house lands between $350 and $700. Solar mesh and pet-resistant mesh add $6 to $14 per screen. We quote the full job before we start.
We install screens on sliding, single-hung, double-hung, casement, awning, and fixed windows. The one limit is a window with no screen channel at all, which is rare. In that case we build a frame that mounts to the exterior stop. We check that during the on-site measure so there are no surprises.
A single screen takes about 10 to 15 minutes. A full house with 15 to 20 windows takes 3 to 4 hours with two technicians. If we are building new frames instead of re-screening, add about 5 minutes per frame. We schedule most jobs as a single morning or afternoon visit.
Yes. Every screen we build is cut to your exact opening, not a stock size. We measure to the sixteenth of an inch, cut the frame stock, and roll the mesh on site. That is how we fit older Pasadena homes where no two windows are quite the same size.
