Screen Replacements

Island Glass Company fabricates and replaces window and door screens for homes and businesses across Whittier and Southern California.

Screen Replacements

Island Glass Company fabricates custom window and door screens for homes and businesses across Whittier and the surrounding Southern California cities. We rebuild screens on your existing frames or build new frames to match — so the breeze comes in and the bugs stay out.

What we build

  • Window screens — full-frame or half-frame, for single-hung, double-hung, slider, casement, and awning windows
  • Sliding patio door screens — full-height screens that roll in their own track alongside a sliding glass door
  • Swing patio door screens — hinged screen doors for French patios
  • Security screens — heavy-duty metal mesh screens that double as a physical barrier
  • Retractable screens — roll-away screens for single doors, double doors, and large openings
  • Pool and patio enclosure screens — large panel screens for outdoor rooms

Mesh options

  • Standard fiberglass mesh — charcoal or gray, the default for most residential windows
  • Solar screen mesh — dark mesh that blocks 80-90% of sun, significantly cuts heat gain through windows
  • Pet-resistant mesh — heavier weave that resists claws and rough traffic
  • No-see-um fine mesh — extra-fine weave to keep out tiny insects
  • Stainless steel security mesh — for security screen doors and windows

Frame options

Aluminum frames in white, tan, bronze, black, or mill finish to match the existing window. Screen corners are fitted with reinforced plastic corner keys for a tight square frame.

Rebuilds vs. new frames

If your existing screen frame is straight and the corners are solid, we can rescreen it — strip the old mesh, clean the spline channel, and install new mesh and spline. If the frame is bent, cracked, or corroded, we build a new frame to match. Either way the turnaround is usually same-day to next-day.

Service area

Screen Replacements — FAQs

Should I repair or replace my broken window? +

If the frame is in good shape and only the glass unit is broken or fogged (failed seal on a dual pane), a glass-only replacement is usually 40 to 60% cheaper than a full window replacement and can be completed in 5 to 10 business days. If the frame is warped, rotted, or the window is single pane, a full replacement with a modern Title-24-compliant unit is the better long-term investment. We'll tell you honestly which option fits your situation during the free estimate.

How long does it take to replace windows in a whole house? +

Manufacturer lead time for Milgard or Anlin vinyl windows is typically 4 to 6 weeks from order confirmation. Installation itself is fast: a 10-to-15 window retrofit usually wraps in 1 to 2 days. We schedule installation only after every window has arrived and been inspected, so you're never left with an open wall.

Should I choose vinyl or aluminum windows for my home in Whittier? +

For most Whittier homeowners, vinyl windows from Milgard or Anlin are the better long-term choice: they insulate better, meet Title 24 energy requirements easily, and carry lifetime warranties. Aluminum is still a strong option for mid-century homes, large picture windows, and commercial applications where slim sight lines matter. Our estimator walks you through both during the free in-home consultation.
