Raleigh Window Pros provides professional window screens and rescreening in Raleigh, NC for residential and commercial properties across Wake County. Screens are the smallest job we do and the one most often used as an excuse to sell a whole house of windows. They are not a reason to replace anything. A screen is a frame, a spline and a mesh, and all three of those are serviceable parts.
Rescreening is straightforward bench work. The old spline comes out, the frame is squared and checked for twist, new mesh is rolled in under even tension and any loose corner keys are replaced while the frame is apart. It costs a fraction of a new screen and effectively nothing at all measured against the price of a replacement window in this market.
Mesh choice is where Raleigh genuinely differs from a national sales catalogue. Standard eighteen-by-sixteen fiberglass mesh is the default everywhere, and here it is also the correct default, because the finer weaves in this county clog rather than filter and then stay clogged until somebody replaces them at full price.
Pine pollen falls across Wake County for roughly three weeks each spring in quantities that are visible on a car hood within an hour of washing it. It packs into no-see-um mesh and solar screening and turns both into a yellow felt that neither breathes properly nor washes clean without stretching or tearing the weave you paid extra for.
So we will talk most people out of fine mesh on most openings. If you have a specific biting-insect problem on a screened porch by a creek, that is a different conversation and we will happily fit whatever mesh solves it for you. On a bedroom double-hung, fine mesh costs you airflow through exactly the months you wanted the window open and gains very little.
Solar screen carries the same clogging problem plus a second one nobody mentions at the point of sale. It cuts a genuine amount of solar gain, which is welcome across August and distinctly unwelcome across January, and almost nobody in practice takes it down each autumn and puts it back up each spring twice a year the way the brochure quietly assumes somebody will.
Frame material matters more than people expect it to. A rolled aluminium frame with proper corner keys stays square for decades and takes rough handling. A thin extruded frame on a full-height screen will rack under its own weight within a few seasons, and a racked screen will not sit in its clips no matter how firmly anybody presses it.
Half screens on double-hungs are worth considering seriously in this climate. You give up insect protection at the upper sash and you gain a clear view, more winter light into the room and a screen that stores flat on a garage wall. It is a preference rather than a rule, and we will make and fit whichever one you decide you want on which opening.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — insert assemblies set into a retained existing frame, sash packs with new jamb liners and balance shoes, constant-force coil balances in a double-hung frame, soft-coat low-E on the second surface for solar rejection, stainless warm-edge spacer in a dual-seal sealed unit, poured and debridged polyurethane thermal breaks in aluminium — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Raleigh and nearby communities including Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Holly Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens and rescreening
The difference between window screens and rescreening that lasts and window screens and rescreening that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with insert assemblies set into a retained existing frame, sash packs with new jamb liners and balance shoes, constant-force coil balances in a double-hung frame, soft-coat low-E on the second surface for solar rejection, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Raleigh job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Wake County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
