Yonkers Window Screens & Rescreening — Residential & Commercial

Yonkers Window Replacement provides professional window screens & rescreening in Yonkers, NY for residential and commercial properties across the lower Hudson Valley. This is the cheapest page on the site and it saves owners here more money than most of the others, so it is worth reading before you order anything larger.

Almost nothing in the pre-war stock of this city takes a stock screen. The openings were built before standard sizes existed, and no two buildings on the same block agree on a width. So every screen is made to measure, which sounds expensive and is not: a rescreened frame costs a small fraction of anything else we sell, and a new made-to-measure frame is not much more.

What people do instead is replace windows because the screens have gone. It happens more often than it should, usually when a whole facade looks tired and the torn screens are doing most of the looking. Rescreening the lot first is a day's work and it tells you honestly whether the windows underneath were actually the problem.

Mesh choice matters more than the price difference suggests. Plain fiberglass mesh is cheap and perfectly serviceable. On the big openings common here it sags, though, and a tall screen will belly out at the middle; aluminum mesh keeps its shape instead. Where there are cats, and in an apartment building there are always cats, a heavy pet-resistant polyester mesh is the only thing that survives, and it costs perhaps twice the standard and lasts many times longer.

There is a solar mesh worth knowing about for the west elevations. A dense charcoal weave cuts a substantial part of the sun's heat before it reaches the glass, which on a west-facing room over the river is real relief in July. It costs a little daylight and it is removable in October, which makes it a far more sensible answer to summer overheating on one wall than replacing perfectly good windows with a lower solar coefficient.

Now the part that saves the most money. The energy code exempts a storm window installed over existing fenestration from the replacement requirements entirely. So on a building where the sash is original and worth keeping, an exterior storm panel over a tuned-up existing window is a legitimate path that does not trigger a U-factor obligation and does not cost what a replacement costs.

Combined with weatherstripping the existing sash and closing off the old weight pockets, a good storm panel gets a tired original window to a genuinely respectable place. It will not match a modern sealed unit and we will not pretend it does. On a landmark-sensitive elevation, on an owner's budget, or on a building being held rather than repositioned, it is frequently the right call.

We fit and rescreen for buildings by the riser rather than by the unit, which is the only way it makes economic sense at this price point. Frames come out, get done in a day, and go back with the openings numbered so nothing ends up in the wrong apartment, which on a building of eighty non-identical windows is the entire trick.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — warm-edge stainless spacer, compression bulb weatherstrip at the sash perimeter, sloped sill pan with an end dam, low-expansion foam at the perimeter shim space, polyamide thermal break in an aluminum section, argon-filled sealed glazing unit — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Yonkers and nearby communities including Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale.

What We Handle

Why Yonkers Chooses Yonkers Window Replacement

• ✓We price a tall building by elevation and floor, not by a unit count. The sixth floor and the first floor of the same walk-up get different air-leakage ratings because they fail in opposite directions.
• ✓We read the sash before we quote a replacement. Where the frame and jamb are sound, re-glazing an existing sash is exempt from the energy code's replacement rules and costs a fraction of a new unit.
• ✓Nobody here needs impact-rated glazing. Yonkers sits outside any wind-borne debris region. Saying that out loud costs us work every year, and we say it anyway.
• ✓Hillside lots get surveyed for grade before we talk about basement openings. Which wall a cellar window goes in matters far more here than the numbers that go on the order form.
