Screens protect your patio from mosquitoes and other pests, but if yours is ripped or loose, it can't offer the same protection. Once the screen is torn or slips out of the frame, the problem only grows worse. Without secure porch screens, bugs can drive you inside in the evening. Find a local repair company who can fix the damage.
Professional screen repair companies can remove and replace all your damaged screens. They can also attach the screens tightly to the partitions and seal the edges with a weatherproof compound that's appropriate for your region's climate. A professional job keeps your porch safe from pests for years.
Sturdy screens let you enjoy your patio or porch at any hour. Type in your zip code and HomeAdvisor will find patio screen repair services in your area.
