I laughed when I read Mark and Sarah Mitchell's business card. "Finally! A company that repairs window screens," it said. Exactly, but I'd add, "And even screen porches." I didn't know what I was going to do until I found their business, Onsite Window Screening Pros of Virginia (540-705-1001, windowscreeningprosva@gmail.com) based in Harrisonburg, Va. Last week, they finished completely rescreening our 25-year-old screen porch using a low profile, sophisticated, aluminum and vinyl framing system. The job took three days, one to tear down the old screen and frames, and two to custom-make a screen frame for each of the 21 spaces. If and when a screen is damaged, these frames make it possible to replace the screen cloth easily. Mark said they can take on any window screening situation. He offers heavy-duty screens for those living on golf courses. The weather was challenging on our job, but Mark was never fazed about it. Submitted by Charles Batchelor. March 2025
We recently had all the screens replaced on our screened porch by Onsite Window Screening. The owners, Mark and Sarah Mitchell, not only replace screens they can also repair them. They offered three different levels of screening, we chose the one that was the least visible and we are delighted that it looks like there are no screens between us and the views. Their number is 540-705-1001. Submitted by Russ & Mary Jo Russell. September 2025
