Screen Door in Westwood, Los Angeles

Westwood is dense — pre-war apartment buildings, mid-century homes, modern condos, and a heavy student-rental population near UCLA. The dominant screen door book here is rental turnover. Owners and property managers book basic mesh swaps and roller refreshes between tenants to address the wear that two years of student-tenant use put on the patio sliders and back screens. The job is straightforward: full mesh re-spline on torn screens, roller swap on draggy sliders, latch alignment on doors that no longer lock cleanly, and a closer adjustment on the hinged doors. Standard parts, fast turnaround, predictable pricing.

Turnover screen work runs $150 to $280 per unit for one to two screens with mesh and basic roller or latch work. Pros experienced in Westwood rental cycles can usually schedule a 90-minute window between tenants without disrupting move-out cleaning or move-in painting. Property managers with multiple Westwood units often book in batch — 4 to 6 unit screen passes across a building in a single day at $120 to $200 per unit because the per-unit setup time drops when the pro is already on-site. Booking proactively at every turnover (rather than reactively when a tenant complains) is dramatically cheaper than the eventual emergency call when a slider seizes mid-lease.
