Vancouver Screens

Just called this screen company and the guy was rude and hung up the phone on me ??? I asked if he could come to my house and take measurement to give me a quotation but he hung up on me ! Worst customer service ever. This guy couldn’t speak English properly and was as rude as it gets do not use this company ! Very unprofessional and disappointing after seeing the (FAKE REVIEWS ON HERE !) the site wouldn’t let me put no stars but if I could I would’ve.

Very good. Definitely recommend. I was looking into making screens myself but calculated that it would cost me almost $ 300 in materials and burn atleast a Saturday for a not professional job. Luckily I called these guys. Got 5 screens and one sliding door screen for less than the materials would have cost me. Really friendly guy came to the house to measure, then again a few days later to install. Quality workmanship and a good price.

Called these guys because of the good reviews from everyone, in particular about the good and fast service. To my disappointment I was told to do the measurements myself as they will not come to my house to do it for me because they «do not have time». Very unprofessional.

Dealt with Paul in April 2015. He came the day I called and measured windows and gave me a quote. We said go ahead and the screens were ready 9 days later. Paul came to install. Cost was $ 20 per window (we did 12) window screens plus $ 370 door screen and $ 120 for sliding door screen. Total cost was under $ 1,000 as per quote. Installation cost was $ 75. Paid with credit card. Everything was good.

No complaints at all. The 2 screens were precisely as ordered and ready in just a few days as agreed upon. Pick up was done with cash from a residential area, seemed slightly strange but was legit. Would definitely use again.

Ordered 6 windows and 1 door screen to be ready in a week. 2 days later, got the call that they were available for pickup. Everything fit great.

Ordered 2 sliding screens for patio doors with Paul. Well made, better than anything I have ever had made before. Were ready when told and pickup was a breeze. Next the windows!

May 2014. I got 5 screens. 2 were little, 1.5×1.5 feet and 3 were big. 3×3 feet-​ish. I liked that he came to measure the windows the day I called. Friendly and accommodating. Where I was disappointed, I was kind of expecting the screens to cost $ 15 to $ 30 each. But they cost all together $ 336 (more than $ 60 per screen). I also thought they would be ready in a day or two. But it took 6 days. The screens have white frames with black tabs and silver screws. So not completely sleek looking compared to the ones in my previous living place. I dont have anything to compare to for the price experience I had except to what I had read here online. I felt compelled to write up the new reality.

just to clarify the other review…
paul is lovely, comes when he says he will, gets the job done. but we did not pay $ 15/​screen, we paid $ 35 and it took a week. which was fine, the guys referred from Rona were going to be 3 – 4 weeks. and their quote was about the same. but i would not say it was super cheap. we had 5 screen, 3 of them complicated ones needing «windows» for the handles, and it all came to $ 300 including installation. paul is not exactly detail oriented, i needed to get him to re-​do some things. but he did it no problem, as i said really friendly and helpful. i would not hesitate to recommend them. i’d give 3.5 stars if that were possible: O)
try them out if you need screens fast!

I probably should not be this excited about window screens but I am.
Picture this… the other night was muggy, so I leave the windows open. Come morning it is cooler but not quite enough, so I open the door to let some more air in. Uh oh. There is a skunk. Slam door. Apparently I was not the only one startled by the skunk — so was a bird — that flew in one of my open windows and pooped around the place. *Sigh* What a way to start the day.
I need window screens. Now.
So the search begins. After searching the internet, visiting the usual big box stores and calling around to some smaller ones, I keep getting the same story — anywhere from $ 60 AND UP depending on size, if they come out to measure — it’s an extra charge and production time is 5 – 7 business days.
Some of this I can live with, some I can’t. I make one more call. It happens to be to Vancouver Screens Ltd. And it came with a big surprise.
Paul answered the phone. He answered all my questions. They are located in Burnaby, close to New West. $ 15 any size window screen. They do windows screens, door screens and glass repair. Professionally made, ready same day. He has samples to show me. What color am I looking for? I can bring in my own measurements.
Yes, you read right. I kid you not. I should have probably typed out that last paragraph in caps.
I got my order in at 11am and was back to pick them up at 3:30pm. I did have some anxiety as looking at the screens I thought I had taken the sizes down wrong. Paul told me to call him when I got home and if there was a problem, we’d figure it out.
These screens are sturdy, proffessionally made and they fit perfectly! PLEASE DO NOT go to the big box stores. At $ 15 bucks each — you can’t go wrong. I have a list of people I have to tell about this place!
