Covington Window Replacement provides professional window screens in Covington, KY for residential and commercial properties across Northern Kentucky's river cities. Screens are the cheapest thing we make and the thing people call about most in June. In this city almost none of them are a stock size, because almost none of these openings are either.
Original double-hungs took half screens sitting in the lower opening, held by turn buttons or a light track on the blind stop. Full-height screens covering a whole opening are a later idea, and on a period facade they change how the window reads from the street rather more than owners expect them to. Half screens also let you clean the upper sash from inside without taking anything out of the opening.
We build to the opening in front of us: extruded aluminum frame in a color that disappears against the sash, corner keys instead of crimped corners, and spline rolled into a channel that can be re-splined years later rather than glued permanently shut. We measure the opening rather than the old screen, because old frames shrink at the corners and lie to you.
Mesh choice does most of the work. Standard fiberglass mesh is fine and cheap. Tighter no-see-um mesh earns its place down near the river and the Licking bottoms where the small biting insects live, and heavier pet-resistant mesh is worth having on any ground-floor opening a dog leans against. Charcoal mesh is easier to see through than gray from inside, and it disappears better from the street.
Solar screening is badly underrated in the older neighborhoods. A dense shade mesh on the outside of a west-facing upper-floor window stops heat before it ever reaches the glass, which is more effective than any low-E coating on that same opening and costs a small fraction of the price. It also does its work outside the glass, which is where shading has always belonged.
There is a trade-off and we will name it. Solar mesh cuts visible light and reads from outside as a darker panel in the opening. On a front elevation that will be reviewed, that is a conversation to have first. On a rear or side wall nobody looks at, it is close to free comfort. On upper floors nobody looks at, we simply fit it and move on.
Casement screens are a different animal. They sit on the inside of the frame and clip in, which means they get pushed out and bent by people leaning on them, and the honest fix for a distorted frame is a new frame rather than fresh mesh stretched over a bent one. Aluminum frames bend permanently, unlike the plastic-cornered frames that pop apart and go back together.
Rescreening a sound existing frame is cheap enough that we will do a whole house in an afternoon, and it is worth asking for before you replace anything. A twenty-year-old aluminum frame in good order with new mesh in it performs exactly like a new one and costs about a third as much. Bring them to us stacked in a truck bed and it costs less than having us come to you.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — three-wythe soft-brick reveal holding the window buck, segmental arch head laid over a rough wooden lintel, cast-iron counterweights lifted out through the pulley stile, dense-pack cellulose blown into an emptied weight pocket, pultruded fiberglass frame bedded on closed-cell backer rod, hemmed aluminum panning wrapped over a limestone sill — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Covington and nearby communities including Newport, Fort Thomas, Bellevue, Dayton.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens
The difference between window screens that lasts and window screens that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with three-wythe soft-brick reveal holding the window buck, segmental arch head laid over a rough wooden lintel, cast-iron counterweights lifted out through the pulley stile, dense-pack cellulose blown into an emptied weight pocket, 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 Covington 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. Years of window work in Northern Kentucky's river cities means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Covington Chooses Covington Window Replacement
- ✓We price the opening, not the house. Openings that do not need work come off the list with a reason written next to them, and the total drops instead of quietly rounding up.
- ✓We will quote sash repair against replacement on the same visit. Re-glazing, new cord over the original weights and bronze weatherstrip is a real product here, not a stalling tactic to get a bigger sale later.
- ✓Every unit going into a masonry opening is specified by its printed performance grade and its actual frame depth against your reveal, because a stock depth that works in a framed wall will float in thirteen inches of brick.
- ✓We fill the weight pockets while the jamb is open. It takes twenty minutes an opening and it is the single largest air leak in most Covington houses, and nobody ever comes back to do it later.
