Mike's Screens 

About Mike's Screens

Have a slider screen your dog went through?  A window screen that your cat climbed?  An older aluminum screen whose oxidation has compromised airflow and visibility?  

As a kid, my dad got me hooked fixing things that could be repaired rather than replaced.  Most screens can be repaired by removing the spline that holds the screen in the groove, then rolling in new screen material.  Some (*like Andersen*) appear impossible to repair because of their aluminum spline, rather than rubber.  In fact, they're made that way so you have to replace the whole thing.  Don't panic, though: I can repair those, too.   

Pricing: $50 most standard windows, $~75 most storm door screens, $100 most sliders 

In addition to being interested in fixing things, I'm also a seasoned high school teacher, married father of two, dog lover, and Ultimate Frisbee enthusiast.  

I work mostly out of Medford and sometimes out of Eastham.  I can travel to you and do the work on site.  You can find me on Yelp.

Reviews:

Linda, Weston -- I needed a screen replaced on my screened-in-porch.  I found Mike online and he returned my call almost immediately.  While on the phone, he asked a lot of good questions and showed up right on time. He was meticulous and professional.  A lesser man would have replaced more screens, but Mike is an honest, hard-working kind of guy. The bill was reasonable for what was done and the time utilized.  He cleaned up outside and inside with a vacuum to be sure to get all the nails and staples.  I will keep his contact for next time.  I wish more people were as hard working and pleasant as he was. 

Denise, Orleans -- Mike replaced a large screen on our 3-season porch. Very convenient pick-up and drop-off service. Professional, good communication, timely and the quality of the screen and workmanship far exceeds prior repairs done at the hardware store.  Highly recommend!

John, Eastham -- Hi Mike. The screen came out nice. Looks great. Looks like you replaced the weather stripping too. Thanks. 

John, Medford -- I used Mike to replace a large batch of window screens and he came by and picked them up and returned them the very same day with the specific type of stronger metal screens that had been in them.  I had him do a second batch and he returned them the next day.  Lastly, he replaced my screen sliding door.  All were very reasonably priced.  A couple weeks after he had replaced my sliding door, a house guest walked through it and he replaced it again, charging only for the material.  Strongly recommended. 

Ted B., Lexington -- Mike’s service is fantastic and so needed.   I used to be able to drop off my damaged screens to the hardware years ago and they would fix the screen in the frames, though unfortunately they discontinued that service.  Then I had a window screen tear; every time I looked out that window, I rued losing that service.  When I saw Mike’s card on a bulletin board, I hoped I had found the service I lost.  I posted an inquiry to his web form, Mike responded quickly.  He drove out to my house sooner than I expected he’d be able to, he picked up the screen and returned it repaired just three days later.  It was quite convenient and the repair was what I was hoping for, so I asked Mike to replace a second screen that was showing age.  Mike caught that it was a slightly different color than my other screen (I never realized it) and offered me color choices, suggesting a color that would match the other window screen in the room better.  I will definitely reach out to Mike when I have other window screens that need replacement. 

Cheryl, Lynn -- Excellent service.  I was very happy with the finished product.  My screens were terrible, and now they look like new.
