Window Screen Repair and Replacement in Macon, GA
Window screen repair and replacement in Macon, GA. Torn or damaged screens replaced quickly.
A torn or missing window screen invites insects into your home, which in Macon's warm months means mosquitoes, gnats, and every other pest that thrives in Central Georgia. Our window screen repair and replacement service re-screens damaged frames and builds replacement screens for any window size.
We re-screen aluminum, wood, and vinyl window frames using fiberglass or aluminum mesh depending on your preference and use case. Fiberglass mesh is standard for most applications and resists denting and creasing. Aluminum mesh is stronger for high-traffic areas and pet households. Both come in standard gray, charcoal, and solar-screening options.
For frames that are bent or broken, we either straighten and repair the frame or build a new frame from aluminum extrusion to match the original dimensions. We carry common frame profile sizes and spline dimensions on the truck for most repair scenarios.

- Screen mesh replacement in existing frames

Why Choose Handyman Macon GA for Window Screen Repair and Replacement?
Macon's gnats and no-see-ums are significantly smaller than the insects standard gray mesh is designed to stop. Charcoal fiberglass mesh — which has tighter weave than standard gray — is what we recommend for most Macon windows because it screens out the fine insects that standard mesh lets through. We carry both mesh types on the truck, as well as pet-resistant heavy-gauge aluminum mesh for households with dogs or cats that damage standard screens. For bent or warped frames, we straighten what can be straightened and build replacement frames from aluminum extrusion for frames that are damaged beyond repair — matching the original dimensions so the screen fits the window opening correctly. Solar screening is available for windows facing west or south where afternoon heat gain is a concern.
How Window Screen Repair Works
- Frame assessment — We check whether the frame is structurally sound or bent beyond what straightening can fix. Frames that can be straightened are; frames that are damaged beyond repair are replaced with new aluminum extrusion built to the original dimensions so they fit the window opening correctly.
- Mesh selection — We discuss mesh type before cutting. Standard gray fiberglass mesh works for most insects but lets through Macon's gnats and no-see-ums. Charcoal fiberglass mesh has tighter weave and blocks fine insects. Pet-resistant heavy-gauge aluminum mesh is available for homes with dogs or cats that push through standard screens.
- Re-screen — Spline groove is cleaned and old spline removed. New mesh is cut 1–2 inches oversized on all sides and laid over the frame. Spline tool rolls the spline into the groove, pulling the mesh taut. Excess mesh is trimmed with a utility knife after spline is fully seated.
- Install and check — Re-screened frames are checked for wrinkles (unacceptable) and proper seating in the window channel. We test the fit before leaving — a screen that pops out in the first breeze has a frame or spline issue that needs to be addressed.
Window Screen Cost in Macon, GA

"Full master bath remodel — hex tile floor, new subway tile shower surround, frameless glass door, new vanity and fixtures. They coordinated everything themselves: plumbing, tile, electrical for the new vanity light. Took nine days and they kept the rest of the house spotless the whole time. Already have them scheduled for the guest bath."
"Three interior doors that wouldn't latch, two deck boards near the back steps that had gone soft, and grab bars in the hall bath for my mother. They knocked out the whole list in a single day. Every door latches on the first try now and the deck looks solid. No hidden charges, no 'while I'm here' upsells. Just the list, done."
"Lost power to the outlets in my home office after a thunderstorm — nothing in the breaker panel was tripped. They traced it back to a GFCI that had failed in the hall bathroom and was wired upstream of my office circuit. Twenty-minute fix once they found it. Explained exactly what happened, showed me where the GFCI was so I'd know for next time. Fair price, no drama."
