Window Screen Repair in North York
Professional window screen repair services for homeowners in North York, Ontario
Window Screen Repair in North York
North York is home to some of the largest concentrations of aging window screen stock in the Greater Toronto Area. The mid-century bungalow and two-storey homes built across Willowdale, Bathurst Manor, Clanton Park, Victoria Village, Parkwoods, Pleasant View, and dozens of other neighbourhoods from the 1950s through the 1980s were fitted with aluminum-framed screens that are now 50 to 70 years old. These frames are bent from decades of seasonal removal, corroded at the corners from exposure, and sized to openings that no standard replacement screen will fit. Screen Express provides professional window screen repair and replacement throughout North York, measuring and fabricating on-site on every visit.
The North York bungalow belt is the defining window screen replacement market in this district. On a typical residential street in Willowdale West, Bathurst Manor, or Newtonbrook, rows of 1960s brick bungalows with the original aluminum window frames still in place. Almost every home has at least one screen that needs attention, and many have not had a screen replaced since the house was built. The frames are narrower than modern profiles, the spline grooves are sized to an older specification, and replacement screens from a hardware store simply do not fit. On the opposite end of the housing spectrum, the estate homes of the Bridle Path, St. Andrew-Windfields, and Bayview Village have screens that were custom-fabricated for large and non-standard window openings. When these need replacement, precision on-site fabrication is equally necessary.

Full Bungalow Screen Replacement: Willowdale West
· 2024Problem
A 1962-built brick bungalow in Willowdale West had 11 original aluminum-framed window screens, all bent, several corroded at the corners, and two held in place with adhesive foam tape. The screens varied in size from window to window, none matching a standard replacement dimension.
Solution
Measured all 11 openings on-site and fabricated new aluminum frames with heavy-duty fibreglass mesh in a single visit. All screens seated flush and operated correctly. The owner added a pet-resistant mesh upgrade on the basement window facing the backyard after we arrived.
Condo Balcony Screen Installation: Willowdale East
· 2025Problem
A 22nd-floor unit in a Yonge Street high-rise had no balcony door screen. The building was never fitted with one. The unit owner wanted insect protection for evening balcony use during summer without drilling into the balcony wall or floor.
Solution
Installed a tension-mounted fixed screen panel on the sliding balcony door track using a no-drill frame system. Screen fits flush in the opening and removes cleanly for winter. No marks on walls or floor. Installation completed in 45 minutes.
