If your dog or cat keeps clawing, pushing, or leaning into your screens, pet screen is the upgrade that actually holds up. Nashville Screens installs and repairs pet-resistant screening for windows, patio doors, and porch enclosures with clean fit, tight spline, and smooth operation.
We start by checking the frame condition and squareness, because pet screen is only as strong as the frame holding it. Old spline is pulled, the spline channel is cleaned, and we inspect corners, miter keys, and any bent aluminum that can cause premature tearing. For doors we verify the rollers, track, handle set, and latch alignment, then measure for a snug fit with proper tension. Material and thickness are matched to the application, most pet screen jobs use vinyl-coated polyester mesh (commonly 7x10 or 8x10 weave) for high tear resistance compared to standard fiberglass.
Local use patterns matter, especially on sunny openings where heat can relax weak mesh and on high-traffic patio doors where pets hit the screen at speed. We set screen tension to stay flat without over-stretching, then roll in new spline with the correct diameter for the frame to prevent pop-outs. Edges are trimmed clean, corners are seated tight, and we test for racking, rubbing, and latch drag that can chew up mesh over time. If you need maximum airflow, we can review alternatives like heavier fiberglass or tighter weaves, but we will explain the tradeoffs in visibility, airflow, and durability so you get the right finish for your home.
Nashville customers choose us because we treat pet screen like a system, not just a piece of mesh. You get straightforward recommendations on mesh type, spline size, and whether your existing frame and door hardware are worth reusing. Our techs arrive with the right hand tools and screen rollers to seat spline evenly, along with replacement corners, pulls, rollers, and bug sweeps when needed to restore function. We keep the work area clean, protect thresholds and floors, and focus on details that reduce callbacks, tight corners, flat screens, and doors that glide and latch the way they should.
After installation or repair, we do a final walkthrough and function check, opening and closing each door, inspecting the perimeter for gaps, and confirming the screen sits flat with consistent tension. We point out any frame damage, loose tracks, or worn hardware we found, and provide options and pricing in writing if additional repairs are recommended. You will get a pet screen that resists clawing and pushing, clean edges, and a door or window that operates smoothly.

Yes. We provide a free written estimate after we review photos and/or complete an on-site measure, depending on the project size and access.
Yes. We handle single-panel repairs, screen door rescreening, and hardware fixes like closers, rollers, hinges, and latches when the frame is still serviceable.
Common options include standard fiberglass insect screen, tighter no-see-um style mesh, and heavier pet-resistant mesh. We will recommend the best fit based on airflow, visibility, and wear.
Small repairs can often be completed quickly once scheduled. Larger porch or pool enclosure rescreening depends on panel count, frame condition, and any door or hardware work identified at the measure.
Yes. We support restaurants, offices, and multi-unit properties with screen repairs and enclosures, including scheduling options to reduce disruption and keep entrances functioning.
Pet screen is built for real wear from dogs and cats, not just insects and light breezes. Nashville Screens installs and repairs pet-resistant mesh on window screens, sliding patio doors, screen doors, and porch or patio enclosures, using vinyl-coated polyester pet screen that resists tearing, stretching, and punctures far better than standard fiberglass. Whether you have claw marks, holes, loose spline, or a door that will not stay in the track, we focus on both the mesh and the frame so the finished screen stays tight and usable.
Most screen failures blamed on pets actually start at the edges. When spline is undersized, channels are dirty, or frames are slightly out of square, the mesh can loosen and pop out, then a pet finds the weak spot. We remove the old spline, clean and prep the groove, and install new spline with consistent pressure using screen rollers so the pet screen is locked in around the full perimeter. If the frame is bent, corners are loose, or a door is racking, we address that first so the mesh is not taking stress it was never meant to carry.
Pet screen is not one-size-fits-all. A sliding door that gets daily use often benefits from heavier pet screen and upgraded door hardware like new rollers and a fresh bug sweep, while a window screen may only need new mesh and spline. We will walk you through weave options (commonly 7x10 or 8x10), visibility and airflow considerations, and when it makes sense to rebuild the screen versus re-mesh the existing frame.
