Pocatello Window Replacement provides professional window screens and winter storage in Pocatello, ID for residential and commercial properties across Bannock County and southeast Idaho. The most useful thing we can tell you about screens in Pocatello is to take them off in November and put them back in April. It costs nothing, we earn nothing from it, and it does more for a windward wall than any product on this page.
The reason is what a mesh does to blowing snow. A screen breaks the wind at the face of the window, and anything carried in that wind drops out on the sheltered side of the mesh, which is the sill track. In a rain climate this is harmless. Here it seeds a small drift in exactly the channel that has to stay clear for the window to drain.
A screen also holds that pack in place. Snow that would have blown past a bare sash instead sits between the mesh and the glass, insulated from the wind, melting slowly on sunny afternoons and refreezing overnight, right on top of the weep openings. Owners who pull their screens report fewer wet sills the following winter and they are not imagining it.
There is a second and duller reason. Ultraviolet exposure at this elevation is hard on screen material, and a frame that spends eight months a year in a garage rather than in the sun lasts a great deal longer. Aluminum frames stay straight, the spline stays flexible, and the mesh does not go brittle and split at the corners.
That said, screens do real work in the months they are up, and a torn one is worth fixing rather than living with. Rescreening a frame in our shop runs a fraction of what a new one costs and turns around inside a day. We roll fresh spline, square the frame, swap broken corner keys, and hand it back tighter than it came.
Mesh is worth half a minute of thought. Plain fiberglass weave is cheap and perfectly adequate for most openings. Aluminum holds a frame shape better and earns the difference on anything large. A heavier pet-grade weave stops a dog going through a slider screen. Fine no-see-um mesh cuts airflow noticeably, so we fit it only where somebody has a specific reason to want it.
Solar screens are the one screen product we sometimes argue against here. They cut a meaningful amount of solar gain, which is welcome on a west wall in July and unhelpful on a south wall in a valley with 7,178 heating degree days. If you want them, put them on the west and leave the south alone.
Bring frames to us or we will collect them on a scheduled route through your part of town. Sliding door screens with bent tracks, roller-mounted screens off casements, and old wood-framed screens on a house with original sash are all things we repair rather than replace, and we will tell you honestly when a frame is genuinely past saving.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a baffled weep chamber behind the exterior sill slot, dry powder packed into an open sliding-door bottom track, meltwater arriving on the warm side of the drainage plane, a formed sill pan with turned-up ends and a back leg, interlock engagement depth at a hung window meeting rail, a compression bulb gasket squeezed by crank-out hardware — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Pocatello and nearby communities including Chubbuck, American Falls, Preston, Soda Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens and winter storage
The difference between window screens and winter storage that lasts and window screens and winter storage that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a baffled weep chamber behind the exterior sill slot, dry powder packed into an open sliding-door bottom track, meltwater arriving on the warm side of the drainage plane, a formed sill pan with turned-up ends and a back leg, 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 Pocatello 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 Bannock County and southeast Idaho means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Pocatello Chooses Pocatello Window Replacement
- ✓We quote the drainage detail as a visible line. Sill pan, weep type, interlock depth and threshold build are named on the proposal, because in this valley those decide more outcomes than the glass rating does.
- ✓Every opening is measured at three heights and three widths and checked on the diagonal. Old houses here are rarely square, and a window ordered from a single measurement arrives wrong at your expense.
- ✓We sell laminated glass for security, safety and ultraviolet control, and we state in writing that it is not a windstorm product. Idaho sits nowhere near a wind-borne debris region and the coastal marketing does not apply.
- ✓Screens come off the windward wall for winter and that advice is free. Mesh drops blowing snow straight into the sill track, and pulling four screens prevents more wet sills than any upgrade we sell.
