So happy with our Phantom Screens! Having one on the front door and the back slider is fantastic! Such a great cross breeze! We especially like the one on the slider since it doesn’t obstruct the view through the door when not in use. And Johnny is just wonderful to work with!!!

Jeremy from Phantom Screens provided excellent service in repairing our screen mechanism. Our screen was stuck in the up position, and he was able to diagnose and resolve the issue quickly. He also took the time to provide helpful instructions and materials to assist us in preventing similar problems in the future. We especially appreciated Jeremy fitting us into his busy schedule for a same-day service call, which was a very pleasant surprise. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and a pleasure to work with throughout the visit. This experience is typical of the consistently excellent service we have received from Phantom Screens over the years. We have always found them to be a reliable and solid service provider and would not hesitate to recommend them.
