Point Loma is a peninsula, and that shapes everything about how screens fail here. Ocean on the west side, bay on the east, and wind that runs over the top of the ridge all afternoon. It isn’t just salt — it’s salt being driven at the house.
Wind is the part people underestimate. A screen that would sit quietly for a decade inland gets flexed thousands of times a year up on the cliffs, and the mesh loosens at the spline long before it looks worn. If your screens have gone slack and drum in the wind, that is a re-screen at $65 for a midsize screen, not a replacement.

The streets above Sunset Cliffs take the worst of it. Salt spray carried on wind, no shelter, and constant damp. Frames corrode and mesh coating gives up faster here than anywhere on the peninsula. On any frame with corrosion in it we recommend a new screen at $89 rather than re-screening it.
The bay side is gentler on frames but harder on doors. Almost every house down there has a slider facing the water, and those doors get used constantly. Rollers wear, the track packs with grit, and the door starts dragging. Screen door service is $159 and covers new mesh, cleaned and lubricated rollers and track, and a height adjustment — which is usually the whole fix.
Much of Point Loma went up between the 1920s and the 1950s, and those houses have window openings that predate any standard screen size. We measure every screen on site and build it to the opening, so the fit is right rather than close. Crank-out casement windows, common in the older bungalows, need a lip frame at $169 per screen.
The area around Liberty Station and the old NTC has a high concentration of rentals and military moves. Whole-unit screen sets in one visit, invoiced to the owner or property manager, are routine for us and cheaper per screen than doing them piecemeal.
All of the peninsula — Point Loma Heights, Roseville, La Playa, Sunset Cliffs, Loma Portal, Fleetridge, and the streets around Liberty Station and Shelter Island. Same prices countywide, no trip fee.
Re-screening an existing window screen is $45 for a small screen under 20 inches, $65 midsize and $85 for anything over 50 inches. A new screen built and installed is $59 small, $89 midsize, $119 XL, and $169 for a casement with a lip frame. Sliding screen door service is $159; a new sliding screen door starts at $395. Mesh upgrades — pet-resistant, solar or fine no-see-um — are $30 per window screen and $60 per screen door. Our minimum service call is $159 and it is applied to the work, so three or more screens puts you past the minimum and paying only for the job.

We come to you, measure on site, and install with precision.

We offer fast scheduling and timely communication, no runaround.

All screens and doors are cut and fit to your window or door, not pre-fabbed or “close enough.”

Pet-resistant, solar, and fine mesh options available to suit your needs.

“Alex was a true craftsman. He made sure my new screen door slid and moved perfectly, and considering he had to make it fit French doors from the 1980s I’m sure it was a challenge!”

I needed a sliding screen door repaired at my home in La Mesa and a friend recommended Window Screens Repair. The repair was done quickly and professionally, and the door now slides and closes perfectly - you'd never know it had an issue. As a mobile screen repair company, they came right to my house, which made the whole process incredibly convenient. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in La Mesa needing sliding screen door repair or window screen replacement. Great communication and quality work from a local, family-owned business. Will definitely be calling them again if I need any other screens fixed.Posted on Google![]()

Usually not. That is wind fatigue — the mesh works loose at the spline from being flexed all day, which happens far more on the peninsula than inland. Re-screening restores the tension for $65 on a midsize screen.
Noticeably. Sunset Cliffs and the western streets get wind-driven salt spray with no shelter, so frames corrode and mesh breaks down faster. The bay side is easier on frames but harder on sliding doors, because they get used constantly.
Almost never. It is worn rollers and a track full of grit. Screen door service is $159 and includes new mesh. For the heavy glass door, sliding glass door service is $245 with rollers at $39–$59 each.
That is routine here. Every screen is measured on site and cut to the opening. Crank-out casements need a lip frame, which is $169 per screen.
Text a photo of the screen or door to (619) 330-5221 with a rough count of what needs work, and we will come back with a firm price for the whole set — usually the same day. Hablamos español.
