Solar screen solves harsh glare, overheated rooms, and faded furnishings without blocking your view. Charlotte Screens has served Charlotte since 2019, installing and repairing solar screen panels, porch and patio enclosures, window screens, and door screens with clean, tight fits.
We start by measuring every opening and checking what you already have, including frame condition, spline channel depth, corner keys, hinge hardware, and existing screen type. For solar screen installation, we confirm the right mesh grade and color for the goal (heat reduction, glare control, daytime privacy) and match it to a durable frame setup, typically .020-.025 aluminum screen frame with metal corners and new spline. Repairs begin with a full inspection so we can tell you if a re-screen is enough or if the frame needs straightening or replacement to keep the mesh from puckering and pulling loose.
Local sun, humidity, and pollen load matter, especially on west-facing patios and large spans that flex in summer heat. We tension solar screen mesh evenly, roll spline with a screen roller for a continuous bite, and trim clean so edges do not fray or catch when removing panels for cleaning. If your project is an enclosure, we align panels for consistent reveals, square doors so latches close cleanly, and seal common entry points where insects sneak in around thresholds and frame joints. The result is a finished look that reads straight, operates smoothly, and holds up through seasonal expansion and wind.
Homeowners and businesses choose us because we give straightforward options, not one-size-fits-all quotes. You get a clear recommendation based on your use case, whether that is reducing afternoon heat in a sunroom, adding privacy on a street-facing porch, or keeping bugs out while improving comfort. We are licensed and insured, provide free written estimates, and show up with the right tools and materials to do it correctly the first time, including new spline, replacement corners, and hardware as needed. When a repair is smarter than a full rebuild, we tell you, and when a frame is too far gone, we explain why and what it takes to fix it permanently.
At the end, we walk the job with you and verify fit, function, and finish. We check that panels seat correctly, fasteners are tight, doors swing and latch properly, and mesh tension is consistent with no waves, gaps, or loose spline. You receive a written estimate up front, a clean work area when we are done, and practical care guidance for solar screen, including gentle washing and inspection points to catch wear early. If you are ready to cut glare and heat while keeping airflow, we will measure, quote, and schedule your solar screen installation or repair with minimal disruption.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after an on-site measure and scope review.
Yes. Charlotte Screens is licensed and insured for screening work.
Small repairs can be completed quickly once materials are on hand, while larger porches and enclosures depend on panel count, door work, and any framing repairs. We give a schedule with your written estimate.
In most cases, yes. We identify the closest match for mesh type and color and will explain options if an exact match is not available.
Yes. We can replace torn mesh, damaged spline, bent rails, and screen door hardware, and we will note any framing issues that need correction to keep the repair from failing again.
A properly installed solar screen can make a noticeable difference in comfort by reducing heat gain, glare, and UV exposure while still allowing airflow. Charlotte Screens handles solar screen installation and solar screen repair for porches, patios, sunrooms, windows, and screen doors, with careful measuring, tight mesh tension, and clean edges that stay put over time. If your current panels are loose, torn, or bowed, we will inspect the frames, spline channels, and hardware and recommend the most cost-effective fix.
Solar screen mesh is not all the same. We help you choose the right openness factor and color, then build or re-screen panels to fit your existing openings and hardware. For many projects, we re-screen your current frames using new spline and proper tensioning so the mesh lays flat without ripples. If frames are damaged or out of square, we can replace them so the solar screen performs as intended and the finished product looks straight.
For patio and porch enclosures, details matter: consistent gaps, secure fasteners, and doors that close cleanly without rubbing. We also check common failure points like worn corners, loose pull tabs, and weakened spline channels, especially on panels that are removed for cleaning. The goal is a solar screen setup that holds up through heat, humidity, and wind while keeping insects out and comfort in.
If you are considering solar screen for a single window or a full enclosure, we will measure on site, explain options in plain language, and provide a free written estimate. Once approved, we schedule the work, protect the area around the opening, and finish with a walkthrough so you can see the fit and function before we leave.
Call now or send a request and we will reach out within one business day to schedule your free, no-obligation estimate in Charlotte. We assess the project, review the details, and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect.
