Window Screen Repair & Replacement
Every Columbus home deserves fresh air without the hassle of bugs and debris. Window screens play a simple but vital role: they let sunlight and breeze in while keeping insects out. When a screen tears or bends, your comfort and view suffer. That’s why Lumen Company offers local, expert window screen repair in Columbus. Our friendly technicians can quickly patch holes, fix frames, or replace the mesh entirely so you can relax worry-free. We restore your screens to like-new condition, ensuring you can enjoy the outdoors without unwanted visitors.
All Types of Screen Repairs
Our Columbus team can handle every kind of screen in your home or business. We repair or replace:
Exterior window screens
Standard screens in living rooms, bedrooms, etc.
Storm door & patio door screens
Sliding or hinged door meshes.
Custom-shaped screens
Odd sizes and specialty frames (even arches or circles).
Sun-control & decorative screens
Tinted or specialty meshes.

Full screen replacement
If a screen is beyond repair, we custom-build a brand-new one.
Our experts work with all materials (fiberglass, aluminum, bronze) and frames (wood or metal). For example, fiberglass and aluminum are common mesh types, and bronze is a premium option for durability. No matter the project—repairing a tear or installing a fresh screen—our process is the same: careful measurement, quality materials, and a perfect fit.
Our Expert Repair Process
Professional Assessment
Contact us and we’ll schedule a convenient time to visit your home. At the first visit, we remove each screen and inspect it closely. Acting quickly is best – fixing small holes early can prevent bigger damage.
Gentle Cleaning
Before repairing, we gently hand-wash your screens using soft brushes and a safe, ionized-water solution. This removes dirt and pollen so we can clearly see every tear or bent frame. Cleaner screens also last longer!
Precise Repair
Next we patch tiny holes or rips seamlessly. For large damage or very old screens, we replace the mesh with brand-new material cut to size. We use high-quality fiberglass or aluminum mesh so the repair looks like new and stands up to Ohio weather.
Final Check
After reinstalling each screen, we test every window and door to make sure it opens and closes smoothly. We clean up our workspace and leave your home neat. You can sit back and enjoy the result: a clear, intact screen that keeps bugs out.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
How do I know if my window screen needs repair or replacement?
Even small holes or tears let insects in and should be fixed. A professional will inspect each screen for rips, holes, or a bent frame that affects the seal. Minor tears can often be patched seamlessly, but large holes, warped frames, or very old, brittle mesh usually require a full replacement. Our technicians will assess every screen and recommend repair or a custom new screen as needed.
What types of screens and mesh materials do you work with?
We service all common screen types in homes and businesses — from standard windows and sliding door screens to patio doors and even custom-shaped frames (arches, circles, etc.). We offer mesh in fiberglass (flexible, affordable, rust-resistant) and aluminum (strong, tear-resistant). For extra durability we also use bronze mesh (about 90% copper), which is very strong, weathers to an attractive dark finish, and won’t corrode like aluminum. Specialty options include tinted or decorative screens and heavy-duty pet-resistant mesh (reinforced fabric for homes with cats or dogs).
How much does a screen repair cost, and do you offer free estimates?
Costs vary widely depending on the damage, materials, and labor. Repairing a small tear is almost always much cheaper than replacing an entire screen. For context, one cost guide reports Columbus homeowners pay anywhere from about $51 to $837 total for screen repair/replacement projects. Lumen Company provides a free, no-obligation estimate before any work begins, so you’ll know the price up front with no hidden fees.
Why should I hire a professional for screen repair instead of doing it myself?
Professional technicians have the right tools and experience to ensure a perfect fit and long-lasting repair. A DIY attempt often leaves the mesh loose or wrinkled, allowing bugs back inside. As one industry FAQ notes, certified installers help you “get the results you desire” by measuring, building, and fitting screens correctly. Lumen Company is fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee — giving you peace of mind that the job will be done right.
How long does the repair process take, and do I need to remove my screens?
In many cases, a technician can repair screens on the spot the same day (weather permitting). If necessary, we can also pick up your screens and work on them in our shop — offsite repairs are typically completed and returned within about a week. You don’t need to remove your screens yourself; our service includes professional removal and reinstallation of the frames (usually for a small additional fee).
How long do window screens last, and how should I maintain them?
With normal use, standard screens last roughly 7–15 years. To maximize their lifespan, clean them gently every so often (for example, with mild soap, water, and a soft brush) to remove dirt and pollen. This simple maintenance keeps the mesh clear and prevents buildup, helping your screens (and your view) stay like new longer.
