Before you book screen repair & replacement
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Count and label your screens
Number each screen with a piece of tape and note which window it belongs to. It helps the pro put each one back where it fits.
Photograph each damaged screen
Pictures of the tear, the frame corners and the spline show the pro what is needed before arriving.
Pick the mesh before the visit
Decide on pet-resistant, fine or solar mesh. Tell the pro and note any pets or tiny insects you want to block.
Measure odd or large screens
For unusual shapes or very large patio screens, measure width and height and note the frame depth. A sketch helps the pro plan.
Remove screens from low windows only
If a screen pops out easily from inside, it can be left by the window. Do not lean out of an upper window to reach one, and leave those to the pro.
Check the tracks and rollers
Wipe the track and see if the screen rolls smoothly. If the roller is cracked, mention it in your notes so the pro brings new ones.
Say where in Union City you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Old Alvarado, Decoto, and Alvarado, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
