Tuscaloosa Window Pros provides professional window screens and rescreening in Tuscaloosa, AL for residential and commercial properties across Tuscaloosa County and the Black Warrior valley. Screens are the smallest job on this site and the one that most often turns out to be the whole job. Before anyone quotes you windows, it is worth checking whether the complaint is really screens and weatherstrip.
That happens more than you would think. A room that feels drafty and dusty in March is frequently a room with torn screens and flattened pile weatherstripping, not a room with failed windows. Both are cheap to put right. We will measure and rescreen a whole house for less than the price of one replacement unit, and we will tell you if that is all you need.
Mesh choice is the real decision. Standard fibreglass mesh is soft, cheap and easy on visibility, and it is what most houses here have. Aluminium mesh holds its shape better and resists the sag that fibreglass develops on tall openings. Heavier pet-grade mesh is worth it on any screen a dog will lean into, which in practice means anything on a back door.
Solar screen mesh is the one people underuse in this county. A dense weave on a west-facing wall cuts a real share of the afternoon heat before it ever reaches the glass, costs a fraction of any glazing upgrade, and comes off in October if you want the winter light back. On the older brick houses with no eave on the west side it is the best money in this whole trade.
Frames matter on the brick-veneer stock because the screen has to sit in a channel that was extruded decades ago. We rebuild in aluminium channel to the existing profile, corner keys and all, rather than forcing a modern frame into a track it does not fit. Where the original channel is gone entirely, a surface-mount frame with clips is the usual answer.
Half screens and full screens are worth a moment of thought rather than a default. A half screen on a double-hung is cheaper and lets you open the top sash with nothing in the view, which suits an upstairs bedroom. A full screen covers both sash and is the right call anywhere insects matter more than the outlook, which in a Tuscaloosa summer is most of the house.
Rental owners near campus should standardise here as everywhere else. One mesh, one frame colour, a stock of spline and a few spare frames in the two or three common sizes will carry a whole turnover season without a single special order. Screens are the item that goes missing between tenants, and having them on a shelf is the difference between a fifteen-minute fix and a fortnight.
We rescreen in place where the frames are sound, replace frames only where they are not, and we do not upsell a window on the back of a screen call. If we come out for screens and find something genuinely wrong with a window, we will show you, tell you what it needs, and still charge you for the screens.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — brick veneer built up around the original window frame, brick mould casing bedded into the mortar joint at the head, steel lintel angles carrying the veneer over each masonry opening, integral nailing flanges lapped over the weather-resistive barrier, pocket inserts anchored into the surviving jamb rather than the framing, sloped sill pans with end dams under full-frame units — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tuscaloosa and nearby communities including Northport, Holt, Cottondale, Brookwood.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens and rescreening
The difference between window screens and rescreening that lasts and window screens and rescreening that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with brick veneer built up around the original window frame, brick mould casing bedded into the mortar joint at the head, steel lintel angles carrying the veneer over each masonry opening, integral nailing flanges lapped over the weather-resistive barrier, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Tuscaloosa job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Tuscaloosa County and the Black Warrior valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Tuscaloosa Chooses Tuscaloosa Window Pros
- ✓We read the outside of the wall before the inside of the window, because a brick-veneer opening and a flanged clad-wall opening are two different jobs at two different prices
- ✓Every proposal states whether the unit is a pocket insert or a full-frame replacement, and how much glass width you give up to get the cheaper one
- ✓We will not cut a brick veneer to sell you a bigger opening when the existing masonry opening can carry the window you actually need
- ✓On clad walls we re-lap self-adhered flashing over the nailing fin in sequence, rather than running a bead of sealant around the perimeter and calling it flashed
