Long Beach Elite Windows provides professional window screens & sun screens in Long Beach, CA for residential and commercial properties across the South Bay and Greater Long Beach. Window screens on a coastal house are the component that wears out fastest, because a screen is open mesh in a metal frame sitting directly in salt spray. Solar screens on a west elevation are close to the most cost-effective upgrade available here. A plain rescreen on sound frames is one of the few jobs where nobody has anything to upsell you. A low-E coating works on radiation that has already arrived at the glass.
An exterior sun screen intercepts a large share of it out at the plane of the wall, which is a fundamentally better place to stop it. On a hard west or south exposure the two together do far more than either alone, and the screen costs a fraction of the glass. Solar mesh comes in a range of openness factors, so you trade view and daylight against heat rejection.
Denser mesh blocks more and darkens the room more. On a bedroom you rarely sit in during the day, go dense. On a living room with a harbor or bay view, go lighter and put the money into the coating instead. We bring samples rather than guessing for you. Ordinary insect screening is a different product with different choices. Fiberglass mesh is the standard, cheap and forgiving.
Aluminum mesh is stiffer and holds its shape better on a large frame. Near the water it needs a proper finish or it will corrode at the weave. Pet-resistant mesh is a heavy vinyl-coated polyester that a determined dog cannot push through. If you have replaced the same screen three times you already know why it exists. High-transparency mesh is worth it on a picture window where the view is the entire point.
Screen clips, spring-loaded pins, corner keys, plunger pins and sliding screen door rollers are almost always plated steel, and they corrode long before the mesh wears out. A screen that will not stay in its track, or that fights you every time you take it out to clean, is usually a two-dollar corroded clip. It is rarely a screen problem.
We put stainless back in. We also tell people to hose their screens and sill tracks down with fresh water every few weeks, especially after a run of onshore wind. It costs nothing and adds years to everything metal on the opening. Frames and doors: we build new aluminum screen frames to the opening in mill, bronze, black and white.
We replace rollers, tracks and pull handles on sliding screen doors, including straightening bent sill tracks. Casement screens mount on the interior side because the sash swings out, which surprises people every time. Retractable and disappearing screens suit entry doors, French pairs and patio openings where a fixed screen is in the way. Security screens and screen doors use heavier mesh in a reinforced frame and are genuinely worth considering at ground-floor rear openings.
If your frames are straight and the corners are tight, we rescreen them. Old mesh and spline out, new mesh in, handed back for a small fraction of a set of new frames. A whole-house rescreen is normally a single visit. If the frame is bent or the corners have let go, rescreening it is a waste. A new frame is cheaper than doing the job twice.
With 20+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — aluminum storefront and curtain wall glazing, laminated acoustic glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers, marine-grade and stainless window hardware, anodized and powder-coated aluminum finishes, soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units with warm-edge spacers — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Long Beach and nearby communities including Lakewood, Signal Hill, Carson, Torrance.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens & sun screens
The difference between window screens & sun screens that lasts and window screens & sun screens that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with aluminum storefront and curtain wall glazing, laminated acoustic glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers, marine-grade and stainless window hardware, anodized and powder-coated aluminum finishes, 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 Long Beach 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. 20+ years of window work in the South Bay and Greater Long Beach means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
