About

The Screen Machine at 830 Orange Avenue in Coronado has manufactured and installed custom window screens, door screens, sliding screen doors, and security screen enclosures since 1988, operating as a mobile-service franchise that brings fabrication equipment directly to island residences. The company's proprietary Tiger Wire pet-proof screen mesh — marketed through impact-demonstration videos showing dogs and golf balls bouncing off the material — serves the same Coronado homeowners who schedule exterior glass care through Maracle Window Cleaning at 248 Orange Avenue for coordinated screen-and-window maintenance. Product lines beyond standard fiberglass re-screening include retractable awnings, motorized exterior shades, solar screens, pollen-proof mesh, and custom catio enclosures designed for Coronado's year-round outdoor-living climate near Coronado Beach. Screen door replacements during whole-house renovation projects coordinate with general contractors such as Tontz Construction at 118 B Avenue, where framing adjustments to historic Coronado Village homes often require non-standard screen sizing. On-site fabrication uses extruded-aluminum frame stock in standard and heavy-duty profiles, with spline-rolled mesh tensioned to resist Coronado's prevailing onshore wind loads along the 92118 coastal corridor. The Orange Avenue address sits on Coronado Island's primary commercial spine, accessible to clients who cross the Coronado Bridge from mainland San Diego or ride the Coronado Ferry to the bayfront. Coronado's residential building stock ranges from the Victorian-era properties near Hotel Del Coronado at 1500 Orange Avenue to mid-century ranch homes and contemporary infill construction, each presenting distinct material and code challenges for the island's contractors. Coronado Island's flat village grid connects the 830 Orange Avenue location to every residential property in the 92118 ZIP within minutes, and the on-site fabrication model means homeowners avoid the lead times and shipping costs associated with ordering custom screens from mainland vendors across the Coronado Bridge.
