Your Complete Guide to Screen
If you've got a torn window screen, a screen door that won't slide right, or you've been dreaming about turning your porch into a bug-free retreat, you're in the right place. We're Twin Cities Screen Solutions, and we built this business around one simple idea: screen and porch work should be done right, done locally, and done by someone who actually shows up when they say they will.
This is our very first blog post, so we wanted to use it to introduce ourselves and walk through everything we do. Whether you found us through a Google search, a neighbor's recommendation, or you're just poking around our new website, here's a look at how we can help.
Window Screen Repair
This is where it all started. Torn screens aren't just an eyesore — they let in bugs, pollen, and let's be honest, they make a home look a little neglected from the curb. We repair and rebuild window screens using durable materials that hold up to Minnesota's seasons, from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles. Whether it's one screen with a corner tear or a whole house that needs a refresh, we handle it efficiently and affordably.
Screen Door Repair & Installation
A screen door gets more daily wear than almost anything else on your house. Between kids, pets, and just regular foot traffic, hinges loosen, frames bend, and mesh rips. We repair existing screen doors when it makes sense, and when a door is past its prime, we handle full installations too. Either way, the goal is a door that opens smoothly, closes tight, and actually keeps the bugs out.
Sliding Screen Door Repair & Installation
Sliding screen doors have their own set of problems — rollers wear out, tracks get bent or gunked up, and the screen mesh itself can pull loose from the frame over time. We fix all of it, from simple roller replacements to full sliding screen rebuilds, so your patio door glides the way it's supposed to.
Porch & Patio Screen Enclosures
This is one of our favorite projects to work on, and it's a growing part of what we do. Turning an open porch or patio into a screened-in space means you get to actually use it all season long — no mosquitoes, no debris, just a comfortable outdoor room. We work with quality enclosure systems designed specifically for this, giving you a clean, finished look that holds up over time. If you've been sitting on your porch swatting bugs all summer, this is the fix.
Custom Screen Fabrication
Not every screen fits a standard size or a standard frame. Older homes, custom windows, unusual door shapes — we've seen it all, and we build custom screens to match. If a big box store or a generic repair service told you your screen "can't be done," there's a good chance we can still make it happen.
Andersen & Larson Storm Door Metal Spline Repair
This one's a bit of a specialty, and honestly, it's something a lot of screen repair companies in the Twin Cities don't offer. Andersen and Larson storm doors use a metal spline system to hold the screen and glass panels in place, and when that spline fails or the panels start rattling, most people assume they need a whole new door. In most cases, you don't. We repair the metal spline system directly, saving you the cost of a full storm door replacement. If you've got an Andersen or Larson storm door giving you trouble, this is exactly the kind of job we love taking on.
