If your current mesh keeps ripping from claws, noses, or excited paws, we install and repair pet screen built for real wear. Elite Screens New Orleans has served New Orleans since 2017, replacing weak fiberglass with heavy-duty vinyl-coated polyester and tighter spline fits for longer-lasting panels.
We start by measuring each opening, checking frame squareness, and inspecting corners, pull tabs, and hardware so the new mesh seats cleanly. Old spline and screen come out, the spline channel is cleaned, and we confirm the frame is not bowed, cracked, or missing screws or rivets. For pet screen installs we typically use vinyl-coated polyester mesh (commonly 15x11 or 17x11) paired with the correct diameter spline (often 0.140 to 0.175 inches) for a firm bite without distorting the frame. The mesh is rolled in with a screen roller (convex and concave wheels) using even tension so it stays drum-tight without overstretching.
In New Orleans, heat, humidity, and frequent use can loosen cheap mesh and expose weak corners, so we build for daily traffic. Pet screen resists punctures and fraying better than standard fiberglass, and we keep edges clean to reduce snag points where cats start a tear. We can match your setup with black or charcoal mesh for better outward visibility, and we can reinforce high-stress areas on doors with new pull handles, corner keys, and fresh spline when the channel has worn. If a door is sagging or rubbing, we address alignment and roller condition first so the screen is not taking the abuse meant for the frame.
Customers choose us because we treat pet screen like a system, not just a piece of mesh. You get clear options for mesh type, color, and visibility, plus practical guidance on where pet screen is worth it (patio doors, pool enclosures, porch panels) and where a different solution may make more sense. Our crews show up with the right materials on hand, including pet screen rolls, multiple spline sizes, and replacement corners and clips, so most repairs are completed in one visit. We work clean, protect floors and furniture near doors and porches, and keep the job focused on durability and fit.
Before we leave, we test operation and tension, confirming the screen is seated fully in the channel, corners are flat, and there are no waves, gaps, or loose edges. On doors, we check latching, roller travel, and clearances so the panel closes smoothly and the mesh does not rub. You receive a free written estimate up front, material details on the pet screen installed, and care tips like how to clean with mild soap and water and avoid harsh solvents that can age the coating. If we find frame damage or hardware issues during the walkthrough, we document it and quote the fix so you can decide what to tackle now versus later.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after measuring and confirming mesh type, frame condition, and attachment method.
In most cases, yes. We’ll identify the closest mesh type (fiberglass, aluminum, solar, pet-resistant) and match common colors like charcoal or black for consistent visibility.
We do both. If the frame is bent, corners are loose, or tracks and rollers are worn, we can repair or replace components so the new screen performs correctly.
Timing depends on enclosure size, number of panels, and whether framing repairs are needed. After an on-site measure, we’ll give a clear schedule with expected start and completion dates.
Yes. We work with property managers and businesses on patio enclosures, entry screening, repairs, and repeatable maintenance plans with consistent specs.
Pet screen is the go-to upgrade when standard fiberglass keeps tearing from claws, pushing, or repeated impacts at doors and porch panels. Elite Screens New Orleans installs and repairs pet screen using vinyl-coated polyester mesh, correct spline sizing, and proper rolling techniques so the screen sits tight, looks clean, and holds up to daily traffic. Whether you need a single torn panel replaced or want to upgrade multiple openings, we focus on fit, tension, and long-term durability.
A pet screen install is only as strong as the frame and spline channel holding it. We inspect the aluminum frame for bowing, cracked corners, loose fasteners, and worn channels that let spline creep out over time. After removing the old mesh, we clean the groove, select the proper spline (commonly 0.140 to 0.175 inches depending on the frame), and roll the mesh in evenly with professional screen tools to avoid overstretching. The goal is balanced tension that resists paw pressure without distorting the frame.
For repairs, we replace torn sections by rescreening the full panel so tension is uniform and the edges do not unravel. If the issue is recurring, we look at the real cause, including a sagging slider, worn rollers, misaligned tracks, or a rubbing latch side that abrades the mesh. We can also replace pull tabs, corners, and small hardware that often fails right when you upgrade to a heavier mesh. You get options and pricing in writing, with the material and color clearly specified.
If you are ready to stop replacing screens every season, pet screen is a practical, durable upgrade for homes with cats, dogs, and high-use patio openings.
