Do you service homes near the Holland River in Newmarket?

Yes, we serve all Newmarket neighbourhoods including those near the Holland River and green spaces where seasonal insect activity is highest. High-quality mesh is especially important for these properties.

What screen mesh works best for homes near the Holland River or Fairy Lake Park?

We recommend a minimum of standard 18×16 fibreglass mesh for most Newmarket homes, but for properties backing onto the Holland River, Tom Taylor Trail, or Fairy Lake Park, we typically suggest upgrading to 20×20 fine mesh. The smaller openings block midges and gnats that pass straight through standard mesh, especially on ground-floor windows and patio doors.

Can you replace builder-grade screens on new homes in Stonehaven or Woodland Hill?

Yes, builder-grade screen upgrades are one of our most common jobs in Newmarket's newer subdivisions. Builders install the thinnest mesh that meets minimum requirements. We replace it with heavier fibreglass or pet-resistant mesh, usually on the same visit as the measurement.

Do I need a permit to add a screened porch in Newmarket?

Permanent screened enclosures or porch additions attached to your home generally require a building permit from the Town of Newmarket under the Ontario Building Code. Simple screen replacements on existing frames and doors do not require a permit. We're happy to help you understand whether your project falls into the enclosure category. Just ask when you contact us.

Pet-Resistant Screens in Newmarket

Standard fibreglass mesh tears easily under pet claws. A single scratch from a dog or cat can split the mesh and leave a gap that defeats the whole point of the screen. Pet-resistant screen mesh is woven from heavier-gauge vinyl-coated polyester that resists puncture and tearing under normal pet contact. Screen Express supplies and installs pet-resistant screens for Newmarket homes, using PetScreen mesh that is seven times stronger than standard fibreglass.

Newmarket is a family-oriented community with a high rate of pet ownership, particularly in newer subdivisions like Stonehaven-Wyndham, Woodland Hill, and Summerhill Estates where homes have fenced backyards and active outdoor lifestyles. Cats that sit in windows and dogs that press against patio door screens are the two most common causes of screen damage we encounter on Newmarket service calls. Pet-resistant mesh addresses both use cases and typically outlasts standard mesh by several years in active pet households.

Why Newmarket Homeowners Choose Screen Express

We carry PetScreen mesh in our van on every Newmarket visit and can replace any standard screen with a pet-resistant version on the spot with no advance ordering, no return trip. The mesh is available in charcoal and grey and is compatible with all standard aluminum frame profiles, so your existing frames can almost always be re-meshed rather than replaced entirely. We also apply a reinforced spline seat to all pet screen installations to prevent the mesh from pulling free at the edges under pressure.
