Mobile Screen Service Hollywood

Using a mobile screen service is the best way to go when thinking of installing screens, sliding screen doors, window screens or any other type of screen on your home.  Mobile screen services are set up to come out to your home, measure, make and install new screens on-site.

No hassles with a mobile screen service

  • You need to know how to measure screens
  • No need to transport screens in your car
  • Mobile screen service will have the right tools
  • A screen service specializes in one thing and are good at it

Mobile screen service vs a screens shop

A mobile screen service is the best option if you want to buy screens that fit tight on the doors and windows.  The reason is that a screen shop is not going to make the screens at the job site.  This is a problem when making screens because after measuring a screen frame most of the time it has to be cut multiple times due to encasement’s being of square.  Some shops will say that all you need is to measure once but, we know that it does not matter how good someone may be measuring screens they always have to be tried on before putting the mesh on them.  A mobile screen service cost a bit more but the results are much much better.  A shop will measure once, make the screens and that’s what you get.  A mobile screens service is custom that’s the difference CUSTOM.

Door and Window screens encasement’s are off-square

Most window encasement’s are off-square and screens have to be made custom made to fit.  In all my years in the mobile screens business I would say that 95% off all window and door encasement’s are off-square, especially new homes!  New homes seem to be thrown tether in a snap of a finger and the results are a home that needs a lot of custom work done to it.  Aways make sure you measure the area for a screen for before picking one up.  Remember not to trust that it looks standard size, because 95% of the time it won’t be.

Calling a mobile screen company

When calling a mobile screen company make sure they service your area and do the actual screen work on-site.  Also try to have the screens done on-site and not in a shop this will assure a much better fitting screen.

Do all mobile screen jobs get done on-site?

No, it is not possible to do all jobs on the spot, on some custom jobs we have to order the material and this may take a few days to receive.  Once the material is in then the job should be done on-site no problem.

How long does it take for a mobile service to come out?

This depends on the mobile screen service you choose, typically it should not take longer than a week.  The longest we like to take if we are busy is no more than a couple of days.

Do mobile screen companies come out for small jobs?

This also depends on the company you choose.  Normally there is a minimum charge, we do not have a minimum charge but do have a minimum of a couple of screens to go out and work on.  We are flexible and like to work with all our future clients.

Window Screens

How to make a window screen

Leave a comment

 There are four things that make a window screen and they are:

window screens

  • Aluminum frame
  • Screen mesh (fiber glass)
  • Aluminum corners (for miter cut frames)
  • splyne (the rubber that holds the screen in place)

Splyne roller

Tools

  • Screen splyne roller (for rolling in splyne)
  • Flat head screw driver (for pushing in corners)
  • Box cutter blade (for cutting excess splyne and screen)
  • Saw or electric chop saw (for cutting aluminum frame)
  • clamps (for holding frame in place on a table)

Measuring

Measuring the opening where the screen goes is very important.  If you have aluminum or vinyl encasement’s with channels for the screen then the rule is you have to measure from the inside of the channel to the the outside of the opposite channel and then deduct 1/8.  This will ensure you that the screen will have room to be taken in and out.  If you have double hung wood windows then measure top to bottom and side to side and deduct 1/8 to 1/4 from the width and from the length.

Building it

Once the frame is cut and put together with the corners then you must screen it.  For this you will need a table to work on.  Place the frame on the table and roll the screen over it, then roll in the splyne with the screen splyne tool.  You may need to to this a couple of times to get the screen straight, do not do it to tight that the frame is con-caving in .  After you’re done and satisfied with your screen be very careful and cut out all the excess screen away from the frame and you are done.

We always recommend you use a Licensed Professional when doing this type of work and always be extra careful with all tools.

Pet Screen Grill

Pet grill

The screen protector is a must with kid’s and pet’s. We are in business thanks to children and pet’s they are the number one cause for screens breaking and tearing.  One way to help keep your screens lasting longer is the screen protector or what some people call the pet grille.  They are good for swinging screen doors and sliding screen doors only.  They get installed on the outside of the screen frame and are held on by four screws on the four corners.  There are two kind of screen protectors, one is thin, light weight, rattles and usually is very warped.  The other type is thicker, heavier, does not rattle and is pretty straight.  Another way to tell them apart is the one that rattles is spray painted and is usually all scratched and the other better quality screen protector’s finish is baked enamel which always looks like it’s in new condition.  these can be installed by a handyman or a screen company will do it.

 Screen protector color and finishes are silver anodized, white, bronze, tan and a couple of others.  When installing them it usually is on the outside of the screen frame and on the bottom, if they are installed on the inside they can rub on encasement and get jammed.

They help keep the children and pets from pushing on the screen mesh and loosening or ripping it on the bottom.  the standard screen protector coverage area’s is 33 inches high.  Custom screen protectors can be made to whatever height you need.

What are the best Screen doors on the market?

 Extruded Aluminum  Swinging Screen Doors

The best swinging door for areas with a lot of traffic is the Extruded aluminum screen door, with a strong hydraulic shock absorber or heavy duty pneumatic closer with shock spring, it is heavy duty and extremely sturdy.  This door comes in many colors but make sure you get a baked enamel finish.  This is the best finish because it does not chip or fade and stay in excellent condition for years.  The finishes come in original silver anodized or grey anodized, white, bronze, tan, black and some others.

Roll Form Swinging Screen Doors

Then you have the Roll form Swinging screen door which is a little less expensive and can get the job done. They are very light gauge aluminum and not very sturdy.  If you need a screen door somewhere in your home that is not going to get a lot of traffic going through it, then you might consider the Roll form swinging screen door.  My advice is if you have kids or pets do not buy a roll form screen door, it wont last as long ans a Extruded screen door.

Wood Screen Doors

Wood screen doors are very nice and come in many finishes.  The problem with wood screen doors is they warp.  Wood need to be maintained and unless you know of a good handyman I would strongly suggest you stay away from wood screen doors.

Extruded aluminum sliding screen doors

The best sliding screen door for a lot of traffic is the Extruded aluminum sliding screen door, It is heavy duty and extremely sturdy.  You can also get this door in a few different finishes and make sure that it is a baked enamel finish so you can make sure that it will last you for years without chipping or fading.  you can ad a pet door which will protect the bottom portion of the screen from tearing.  this is called a pet protector or pet grille.  Make sure the sliding screen door comes with all metal parts, especially the rollers, handle and lock latch.  One of the key things to look out for is metal ball bearing rollers and a thick frame gauge, if you have this you should be O.K.

Roll form sliding screen doors

Avoid Roll form sliding screen doors like the plague, they will only frustrate you every time you have to open them.  I do not recommend buying these light weight usually made out of tin or steal screen doors.

I hope that this will give you a better idea of what type of screen doors there’s out there.  Before buying always ask yourself, what kind of use will this door get? Good luck
