Replacement Windows
Dave's Screen & Windows provides custom replacement windows for residential properties. Our specialists measure, manufacture, and install windows that improve energy efficiency and aesthetics. Available in various styles including double-hung, single-hung, and side-slider models, our windows feature optional Low-E glass with argon gas for enhanced insulation. With in-house manufacturing capabilities, we offer custom shapes and colors to match each home's unique architecture while maintaining our lifetime warranty protection.
Solar Screens
Our solar screen solutions protect homes from excessive heat and UV damage while maintaining visibility. Made with Phifer brand materials, our custom-fitted screens reduce solar heat gain and prevent furniture fading. Available in multiple frame colors and configurations, including specialty shapes, these energy-efficient screens can be easily removed for cleaning or seasonal changes. Our installation team ensures secure mounting with durable hardware options for lasting performance in Louisiana's climate conditions.
Doors
We specialize in both main entrance doors and storm door installations. Our custom-manufactured doors include single and double configurations with various glass insert options for security and insulation. Storm doors feature durable aluminum construction with optional dead-bolt locks and tempered safety glass. Our installation crews handle complete door replacement projects, ensuring proper fit and weatherproofing while maintaining the aesthetic character of each home.
Patio Enclosures
Transform outdoor spaces with our patio enclosure solutions that combine functionality with energy efficiency. We install screened or glass-enclosed patios using durable materials that withstand local weather conditions. Options include insulated panels, various tubing sizes, and multiple color choices. Our enclosures can be customized with storm doors and solar screens, providing year-round usability while maintaining architectural harmony with the home's exterior.
Glass Replacement
Our glass replacement service addresses broken or fogged window panes with precision measurements and professional installation. We manufacture insulated glass units with available grid patterns and color-matching capabilities for existing windows. Using high-quality materials and proper glazing techniques, our technicians replace glass without damaging surrounding frames. All replacements come with warranty protection and are performed by experienced installers who maintain the integrity of the original window system.

Oh my heavens! I ordered three exterior doors from Dave's, but because of the supply chain issues going on, it took a while for them to come in. Luckily I was in no rush. Chase and Ty came today to install them, and I cannot say enough about both the doors and their installation. Such nice guys and so professional. They left all three areas clean of debris, installed all door hardware, one of which was a new electronic lock which I had purchased, and replaced all of the outside moldings.
We had purchased our energy saving windows from Dave's a few years ago, and I would swear that the savings to our electric bill paid for them! So quiet! I would use Dave's for any window or door purchase.

Needed such a small piece of screen. Did not know if Dave's would even bother with the sale. More than happy to. Thanks to Dave's for taking care of our needs.

We ordered solar window screens and they were installed today; they look AMAZING- like an instant face lift for our old house! We are very pleased with the whole process, from getting a quote to installation.

I brought a sample in. they made a door that was suppose to match. Door is completely different color and has scratches to the paint all over the place. at least 15 places. When i pointed it out they just stood there. So I asked for some paint to repair it. They tried to charge me for the paint, but ended up giving it to me. Paint didnt match the door. I go to bring it back show the sample compared to the door.
And all the scratches. The man just kept saying man I cant take that back. we didnt do anything wrong. Ya so the wrong color and scratches isnt your fault? He said well I thought u ment when we talked on the phone that the door was a different color. Never again
