Do you service condo buildings in Toronto?

Yes, we service condo units throughout Toronto including balcony screen replacements and window screen installations in high-rise and mid-rise buildings. No-drill tension systems are used so there is no need to modify the unit or the building's sliding door track.

Can you make custom screens for Toronto Victorian and Edwardian homes?

Yes. Homes in the Annex, Cabbagetown, Roncesvalles, Palmerston-Little Italy, and Wychwood frequently have non-standard window openings from their original 1880s–1920s frames. We measure every opening on-site and fabricate screens to exact dimensions in a single visit. No drop-off, no second trip.

Do you install fine mesh screens for homes near the Don Valley or Toronto ravines?

Yes. Properties backing onto the Rosedale Valley, Don River, Humewood-Cedarvale ravine, Humber River corridor, and other ravine edges experience heavier mosquito and small-insect pressure. We carry 20×20 no-see-um mesh and install it as a direct swap into existing frames: same frame, tighter weave, done in a single visit.

Do you cover the full City of Toronto?

Yes, we serve the entire City of Toronto including the central city, East York, and the west-end and east-end neighbourhoods. The outer districts of North York, Scarborough, and Etobicoke each have dedicated service pages with neighbourhood-specific detail. Most Toronto bookings are available next business day.

Large Opening Screens in Toronto

Large Opening Screens in Toronto

A standard hinged screen door covers a standard door. Plenty of Toronto homes have openings that are nothing like that: wide rear walkouts, double and triple patio doors, covered porches and loggias opening onto the garden, and garage bays used as summer rooms. Large opening screens are built for exactly these spaces. Screen Express supplies and installs Mirage large opening screen systems across the City of Toronto, measuring each opening on-site and fitting the system to it so the screen spans the full width and then disappears when you want an unobstructed view.

Large openings in Toronto cluster in a few distinct places. The estate tier (Rosedale-Moore Park, Forest Hill South, Lawrence Park North, Casa Loma, and Bedford Park-Nortown) has wide front entries, double doors, and generous rear patio openings that no off-the-shelf hinged screen door can cover. Ravine-edge lots along the Don and Humber corridors, including Humewood-Cedarvale and Lambton Baby Point, combine big openings with real mosquito pressure from the valley floor, which makes a screen on the main outdoor-living wall a practical need rather than a luxury. In the Victorian semi neighbourhoods (Leslieville, Roncesvalles, Trinity-Bellwoods), rear kitchen additions often have wide, non-standard glass openings that were cut by the original contractor and match no catalogue size. And in Liberty Village and King West, narrow townhouse lots with a rear patio entry call for a screen that does not block sightlines to a small garden. In each case the opening drives the system, not the other way around.

Common Screen Issues in Toronto

Non-standard window openings on 1880s–1920s Victorian/Edwardian homes: box-store screens do not fit; on-site custom fabrication required for every opening

Wood and original aluminum frame screens on heritage stock requiring precise fit to avoid damaging painted or stained original sills

Aging aluminum frames on 1940s–1970s post-war semis and detacheds: corroded corner keys, degraded spline channels, bent sills

Condo and high-rise balcony doors with no factory screen option, requiring no-drill tension systems for downtown and waterfront towers

Elevated mesh wear in ravine-adjacent homes (Rosedale, Humewood-Cedarvale, Forest Hill South) from persistent humidity and insect exposure along the Don and Humber corridors

Typical homes: Victorian and Edwardian semi-detached and row houses (1880s–1920s): Annex, Cabbagetown, Roncesvalles, Palmerston-Little Italy, Wychwood, Trinity-Bellwoods · Post-war bungalows and detached (1940s–1970s): East York, Danforth Village, Greenwood-Coxwell, Broadview North, Corso Italia · Mid-century detached on larger lots (1920s–1950s): Forest Hill, Rosedale-Moore Park, Lawrence Park, Leaside · High-rise condos and mid-rise apartments (1960s–present): downtown core, Church-Yonge Corridor, Bay Street, Waterfront Communities, Yonge-Eglinton

Why Toronto Homeowners Choose Screen Express

Screen Express measures every Toronto opening on-site before anything is built, checking width and height in more than one place to account for the racking and settling common in older homes. Because the screen is made to your measurements, there is no compromising on a standard size that almost fits. We install on a plumb, level frame, calibrate the retraction for smooth, consistent operation, and verify it before we leave. Heritage Conservation Districts such as Cabbagetown and Roncesvalles Village may apply additional review for structural changes, but a screen fitted to an existing opening is not a structural addition. Book a free estimate and we will come to you, Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 7 PM.
