Screen Repair

A torn or sagging screen doesn’t have to be the end of the world (or the end of your bug-free evenings).

Whether it’s a tiny snag from your cat’s claws or a full-on rip after a windy storm, D’s Ace Hardware can get your

window and door screens looking — and working — like new again.

What We Can Fix

Our crew handles everything from quick patches to complete re-screens. Small holes from pets, bugs, or everyday wear are neatly patched so they’re almost invisible. Bigger damage from weather, accidents, or just old age? We’ll replace the damaged section or re-screen the whole frame while keeping your existing hardware intact.

We work with all the common screen materials: standard fiberglass mesh, aluminum screening, even the specialty stuff used on patios and porches. Windows, sliding doors, custom sizes — bring them in, and we’ll bring them back to life.

Our Professional Repair Process

Good screen repair isn’t just sticking a square over a hole. First, we check the screen to see what it really needs. Tiny punctures get patched with matching material so the repair blends in. Bigger tears often call for replacing entire panels or re-screening the frame from scratch.

This approach saves you money and keeps your original frames — which can last decades — in service. Done right, repairs extend the life of your screens and keep them looking sharp.

Why Fix Instead of Replace

Replacing screens, especially odd-sized or custom ones, adds up fast. In most cases, a well-done repair restores your screen to “like new” without the hefty replacement cost. Plus, you keep the exact fit and finish of your original frame, which means no fiddling with ill-fitting replacements.

Common Screen Problems We Solve

It’s not just rips and holes. Screens can sag, the rubber spline can loosen, or the frame can bend so it no longer fits properly. What looks like a big job is often a quick fix. We also straighten bent frames and do minor metalwork so your screens slide and snap back into place like they should.

Seasonal Tips

Spring is when most people remember they need screen repairs — right before they open up the windows. Fall is a smart time, too, especially if you’re storing screens over the winter or using them year-round in milder climates. Getting repairs done early means you’re ready for fresh air as soon as the weather turns nice.

Beyond the Basics

While your screen’s here, we’ll give you tips on keeping it in shape longer — gentle cleaning, smart storage, careful handling. We can even upgrade you to pet-resistant or heavy-duty screening if you’ve got a dog that loves to lean or kids that love to push.

Quality Materials

We don’t cut corners. We stock different mesh sizes and colors so your repaired screen blends seamlessly with the old one. Our spline and hardware meet or exceed original specs, so repairs hold up to daily use and the weather. Done right, a repair should last for years, not weeks.

Quick and Easy Service

Just bring your damaged screens to D’s Ace Hardware and we’ll do the rest. Most jobs are done in just a few days. We inspect, repair, test, and hand them back ready to install. You save money, keep bugs out, and enjoy fresh air without fuss. Stop by today and let our team give your screens a second life.
