Franklin, TN Window Screens & Rescreening — Residential & Commercial

Franklin Window Replacement provides professional window screens & rescreening in Franklin, TN for residential and commercial properties across Williamson County. This is the smallest job on the site and the one we most often use to talk somebody out of a much larger one. Torn screens are not a reason to replace windows, and a house full of them is not evidence that the windows have failed.

A screen is a frame, a mesh and a rubber spline pressed into a groove. Putting fresh mesh into the frame you already own costs a small fraction of a new one and takes minutes per unit on a bench. If the aluminum frame is straight, the corner keys are intact and the spline groove is not deformed, there is nothing to buy but mesh and spline, and we will say so before quoting anything else.

Mesh deserves a moment's thought before you order. Ordinary fiberglass is cheap, forgiving and the right pick for most openings. Aluminum mesh is stiffer, holds its shape on tall frames and resists sagging. Fine no-see-um mesh keeps out the smallest gnats that a standard weave passes, at the cost of noticeably reduced airflow, which is a real tradeoff on a screened porch in June.

Pet mesh is the one upgrade we actively recommend to the households that need it. It is a heavier vinyl-coated polyester that shrugs off a dog putting its weight against it and a cat climbing it, and on a ground-floor door or porch panel it turns a yearly repair into a decade of ignoring the thing. On an upstairs bedroom window it is money wasted.

Solar screening is a different product with a different purpose, and this county is an interesting place to consider it. Because the residential energy path here sets no solar heat gain limit, a homeowner with existing clear-glass windows and a punishing west elevation has no code lever to pull. An exterior solar screen intercepts sun before it reaches the glass and is by far the cheapest way to fix that wall short of replacing units.

The tradeoff is honest and visible. Solar mesh cuts a substantial share of the light along with the heat, the view through it is dimmer, and from outside the openings read darker. On a west-facing bedroom that overheats every afternoon, most people accept that immediately. On a front elevation facing the street, most people do not, and we will not push it.

Half screens versus full screens on double-hungs is a preference with one practical wrinkle. A half screen on the lower sash lets you open the top sash for ventilation with nothing between you and the sky, which is pleasant. It also means an insect route straight in whenever the upper sash is down, which is not.

Storing screens for the winter extends their life more than anything else you can do. Take them down, wash them, stack them flat and out of the sun, and label them by opening. Screens left up through Middle Tennessee's freeze and thaw cycle sag, and left leaning in a garage they get stepped on, which is the actual cause of most of the frames we straighten each spring.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — soft-coat low-E coating on surface two, stainless steel warm-edge spacer, argon-filled dual-lite sealed unit, pultruded fiberglass sash profile, fusion-welded sash corner joinery, polyamide thermal break strut — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Franklin and nearby communities including Brentwood, Spring Hill, Nolensville, Thompson's Station.

What We Handle

Why Franklin Chooses Franklin Window Replacement

• ✓We write the solar heat gain coefficient wall by wall instead of house-wide, because the county code sets no ceiling on it and a west elevation and a shaded south elevation want opposite answers.
• ✓Insert and full-frame approaches are priced side by side on the same estimate, so you can see what keeping your existing frame saves and what it costs you in daylight opening.
• ✓Every sill gets probed with an awl before we recommend an insert, because burying a new unit inside a soft frame hides the problem for about five years and then costs twice.
• ✓Pans go under every opening the framing allows, sloped outward with dammed ends and a raised back edge, because flashing decides whether a mixed-humid wall stays dry long after label numbers stop mattering.
