Window Screens in St. Louis: Why They Matter More Than You Think
St. Louis has a genuine insect season. Mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and stink bugs are not minor inconveniences here — they are a real warm-weather quality-of-life issue. Window screens are the first line of defense, and a torn, damaged, or missing screen is an open invitation.
Dr. Steve’s Take:
Dr. Steve wrote about this directly: a compromised window screen is a pest entry point that gets worse over time. A small tear that lets in a few mosquitoes in May becomes a much bigger gap by August. He covered this in two separate columns — the message is consistent: fix screens before the bugs find the hole.

Window screens also take damage from sources homeowners do not always anticipate: St. Louis windstorms push debris against screens that rips the mesh or bends the frame, pets push through or scratch screens from the inside, and screens that have been in service for years simply degrade from UV exposure and weathering.
Dr. Steve’s Take:
Wind is one of the most common screen killers in St. Louis. Dr. Steve covered screen and shutter damage in a piece on wind preparedness — screens that were already stressed or slightly torn are the first to fail in a significant storm. After any significant wind event, check your screens before you assume they are fine.

Re-Screening vs. Full Screen Replacement
The right repair depends on whether the frame is intact. If the frame is sound and only the mesh is damaged, re-screening is the correct repair — we remove the old mesh, install new screen material in the spline channel, and trim it to fit. Re-screening is less expensive than a full replacement and produces the same result: a functional screen.
If the frame itself is bent, cracked, or broken, we assess whether it can be straightened or needs replacement. For missing screens, we build or source a replacement in the correct size and style — standard aluminum frame with fiberglass mesh for most residential windows, or heavier pet-resistant mesh where it is warranted.
Dr. Steve’s Pro Tip:
If your home has several screens that need attention, bundle them into a single visit. Screen work is straightforward, and handling multiple screens in one trip is efficient and economical. If you have been putting off screen repairs because it seemed like a small job, it is exactly the kind of job we prefer.
