Lakeland Window Pros provides professional window screens in Lakeland, FL for residential and commercial properties across west Polk County and the Lakeland lakes. Screens get treated as a throwaway and here they are anything but. They decide whether you use the six good months, they take more abrasion than in most of the country, and a torn one on a lanai invites in everything that flies at dusk.
Standard fiberglass mesh is the default and it is fine for most openings. It is cheap, it does not crease permanently, and it is easy to re-screen. What it does not tolerate is a dog, a cat or a lot of sun, and on a west elevation the plasticizer eventually goes and the mesh gets brittle enough to tear under a thumb.
Aluminum mesh lasts longer in ultraviolet and holds its shape better, at the cost of denting permanently when something hits it. On a second-floor window nobody touches, aluminum is the better long-term buy. On a ground-floor window beside a walk, fiberglass that you re-screen every seven years is cheaper over the same period.
Pet-resistant mesh is a genuinely different product, a heavy vinyl-coated polyester that runs several times the tear strength of standard cloth. It costs more, it cuts visibility slightly, and if you have a dog that leans on screens it will pay for itself the first year. We fit it on the doors and the lower openings and standard mesh above.
Solar screen is the one that changes a room. An exterior shade mesh stops sunlight on the outside face of the glass rather than after it has already entered, and on a west wall in this city that single move buys more afternoon comfort per dollar than almost any glazing upgrade. The trade is a darker view and less daylight, which is why we fit it on the west and south and leave the north alone.
The frames matter more than people expect. A thin rolled frame racks out of square, and once it has, the clips no longer hold it, so the screen ends up leaning on a wall in the garage. We build to a heavier extruded frame with corner keys rather than crimped corners, which costs a few dollars per screen and stops that whole cycle.
Screen enclosures around a pool or lanai are a different trade with different rules, since they are a structure carrying a wind load and generally need their own permit. We do the window and door screens; for a full cage rebuild we will point you to somebody who does that work all day, because it is a specialty and not a sideline.
Re-screening an existing frame is inexpensive and we do it by the piece. If your frames are sound, bring them in rather than buying new units. The mesh is the consumable and the frame is not, and there is no sense replacing the part that has not failed. We keep the common mesh types in stock and turn most re-screens around in a day or two.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — compression-sealed bulb gaskets, sloped sill dams, baffled weep slots, interlocking check rails, internal frame gutters, triple-silver solar control glazing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Lakeland and nearby communities including Lakeland Highlands, Highland City, Medulla, Willow Oak.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens
The difference between window screens that lasts and window screens that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with compression-sealed bulb gaskets, sloped sill dams, baffled weep slots, interlocking check rails, 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 Lakeland 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 west Polk County and the Lakeland lakes means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Lakeland Chooses Lakeland Window Pros
- ✓We quote the water test pressure and the design pressure for the exact sizes on your opening schedule, because the figure printed on a brochure is the best case from the smallest unit the manufacturer tested.
- ✓Operating style is specified elevation by elevation rather than house-wide. Compression-sealed casements and awnings go on the walls that take the afternoon storms, and cheaper sliders go where a porch or an oak already does the work.
- ✓We will tell you when the code does not require what somebody is selling. Lakeland sits outside the wind-borne debris region, so opening protection here is a judgement call and we treat it as one instead of a requirement.
- ✓Drainage is built before the unit is set. Sloped sills, baffled weep slots, end dams and a clear path out of the glazing pocket, then a spray test on representative openings before any interior trim goes back on.
