Window & Door Screen Repair in Hillcrest
We repair and build screens across 92103: Hillcrest itself, Mission Hills, the western blocks of University Heights and the north end of Bankers Hill. Uptown's mix of early-1900s houses and mid-century apartment buildings means a lot of older windows in sizes no hardware store carries, so we measure each opening and build the screen in the van.

Local know-how
Screens in Hillcrest: what we see
Old houses, openings out of square
Craftsman and Spanish-style houses in Mission Hills and Hillcrest often have wood windows that have settled over a century. We measure every opening on its own instead of assuming the windows on one wall match.
Historic districts
Parts of Mission Hills and the nearby neighborhoods are designated historic districts. A screen rarely changes how a house looks, but if you're in one, check whether exterior changes need review before you settle on a frame color.
Apartments and condos
For condo and apartment jobs, access is the main question. Tell us about loading zones, gate codes and elevators, and whether the screens come out from inside, when you book.
Narrow lots
Many Uptown houses sit on narrow lots with side yards barely wide enough to walk. The tech builds at the van and carries frames to the house, so mention it if the only way to the back is through the house.
Your tech
Who comes out, and when
Luis covers Hillcrest. We'll call you back within 1 business day. Most visits are booked within two weeks, often sooner in winter. Same-day service: we measure, build and install in one visit.

FAQ
Hillcrest questions
Can you make screens for old wood windows?
Often, yes. Standard-style screens are $55 new. Double-hung, casement and other non-standard screens are priced differently and quoted by the tech, so send a photo of the window.
Do you work in Mission Hills and Bankers Hill?
Yes. Both are covered with Hillcrest, by the same team and at the same prices.
I'm on an upper floor. Do I need to take the screens out first?
No, the tech takes them out and puts them back. If a screen can only be reached from outside, send a photo and tell us the floor so we can say before the visit whether we can get to it.
Can you replace the screen door on a Craftsman front porch?
Yes. A swinging screen door, built to the opening and installed with hardware, is $599.
