Sea-spray, wind-borne grit, and year-round temperature swings make life tough on Portland window screens. Torn mesh and bent frames don’t just look rough—they invite insects, compromise ventilation, and raise energy bills. If you need window screen repair Portland Maine homeowners trust, CountBricks delivers. Our AI-driven estimating platform captures real-time material prices, local labor rates, and job-site conditions, so you get transparent costs and a clear scope of work before the truck even leaves our shop.
Ventilation control—Screens let fresh ocean air in while keeping out mosquitoes and black flies.
Energy efficiency—A tight screen allows windows to stay open longer, reducing AC loads in summer.
Protection for finishes—Screens filter UV debris, slowing fading of hardwood floors and furnishings.
• Pet claws slicing fiberglass mesh
• Storm-blown branches bending aluminum frames
• Salt corrosion eroding corner keys and spline tracks
• Poor previous repairs causing sagging or puckering
Unlike traditional contractors who “eyeball” a window screen and scribble numbers on carbon copy pads, CountBricks uses live voice capture to build your estimate while we walk the project with you. Our AI instantly references:
• Real-time mesh and frame pricing from regional suppliers
• Portland, Maine labor benchmarks updated daily
• Historic weather data that informs recommended corrosion-resistant upgrades
Because the data is pulled directly into the quote document, there is no guesswork, no hidden fees, and no uncomfortable mid-project price jumps.
1. We start a hands-free voice session on site—no clipboards, no delays.
2. Dimensions are captured by laser measure or blueprint upload and fed to CountBricks Takeoff AI.
3. The software compares four mesh grades, three frame alloys, and two spline profiles to recommend the best value.
4. You receive a PDF and web-view quote instantly, branded with your property address for easy reference.
Mesh Type
• Standard fiberglass is economical but less durable.
• Aluminum resists UV better and stands up to pets.
• Stainless steel “coastal mesh” is premium but the go-to for oceanfront properties.
Frame Material
• Roll-formed aluminum costs less but dents easier.
• Extruded aluminum offers higher strength and tight mitered corners.
Quantity & Accessibility
• Second-story or ladder work adds setup time.
• Bulk replacements allow us to buy mesh rolls in larger, lower-cost quantities.
A 1920s bungalow near Back Cove needed ten screens re-meshed, two frames replaced, and one custom half-round built from scratch. Using CountBricks AI, the estimate captured market rises in extruded aluminum before a supplier price jump. Result: the client saved 11% compared to waiting two weeks.

• Minor mesh tears under two inches? A DIY patch kit may suffice.
• Multiple damaged corners or bowed frames? Professional jig and spline tools ensure square alignment.
• Historic windows? Custom millwork screens require precise templates that CountBricks mills in-house.
If you try a home fix and the screen still gapes, our techs can re-use your mesh where possible to minimize waste.
• Vacuum screens annually to remove salt crystals before winter storage
• Apply a light coat of marine wax to aluminum frames each spring
• Use pet-resistant mesh on lower sashes if you own cats or dogs
• Label screens by room before seasonal removal for easy re-installation
• Store removed screens vertically to prevent bowing

In South Portland, a coastal duplex needed 18 screens re-meshed plus cedar trim renewal around three bay windows. CountBricks AI merged both scopes, predicted a two-day schedule, and optimized crew size. The project closed 12 hours early, saving the owner $780 in labor.
