This review is a bit late but he came out three months ago and did an AMAZING job on two window screens and a sliding door screen. So polite and fast and reasonably priced! He even threw in a little handle for my toddlers on the sliding door screen which they LOVE and now they don't have to push on the screen itself to try to open it. Five stars we will have him back out for sure! read more

I called him on a Friday, we set up a Monday morning appointment and he arrived as expected. Good start. He was very nice and very understanding of my friendly dogs getting underfoot occasionally. He pointed out a bad system that holds in two of the five screens I wanted replaced and offered to put in a much more secure and better looking screen mount at no charge. He finished the job quickly, politely and very well done. He did three screen replacements in my frames and two of them needed new frames as well as screen. Price was more than reasonable and actually below what I had thought it would be. I highly recommend this guy. read more

I had close to 14 screens re-done.... Great service, great work at a reasonable price. Very happy with the service and would highly recommend this business to anyone needing anything that has to do with screens!! read more

Cross Breeze is who you need to call for help with any screens in your home. Mike came and basically rebuilt my window pass through screen with quality parts and it works better than before. I'm so thrilled. I called several local companies but is seems they don't want to do the work. I will always call Mike for all my screen needs. P.S. He came out two weeks ago and I'm still so thrilled I knew I had to right a review for a company that does it right the first time. Thanks Mike. You're the best! read more

I needed 11 screen replaced and, after searching the internet without finding exactly what I needed, my husband and I went to The Natural Café in Moorpark for dinner. While we were eating, I came across a flyer they had available for customers, and that's when I discovered Crossbreeze Screens, a mobile service based in Simi Valley. I gave them a call on Tuesday and spoke with Mike. At first, he didn't have any openings until the following week, but with a little prayers, he had a cancellation and was able to fit me in the very next day! Mike arrived right on time. He was personable, easy to talk to, and explained everything he fixed in detail. The price was very fair, and the whole experience was smooth and professional. I will definitely be using Mike's services again and have already shared his info with friends and family. Thank you, Mike! read more

This rating is if this is the same Crossbreeze Screens repair service with Mike. Mike is fantastic. He was super sweet, professional, understanding, transparent about his prices, quick and efficient and he did an incredible job fixing our screens. What he could repair he made them look seamless and like no damage even existed previously, and with the other screens that needed to be replaced completely or fixed a bit (one of our screens were a little warped and needed to be shaved down just a hair), he did an amazing job as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone!! read more

I approached Mike while he was working at a neighbor's house to ask him if he installs screen doors. He came over within half hour and provided a reasonable quote to install a new screen door and a new screen on a rear window. Within 7 days, the custom screen door and window screen were installed. Mike is friendly, honest and detailed in his work. I highly recommend Cross Breeze Screens! read more

Cross Breeze Screens - Yay new screen! - Windows Installation Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Mike is very professional, friendly and all around a nice guy. Very happy with his work and will recommend to everyone.

I'm so happy with our new sliding door and window screens! I should have taken a before and after photo. Screen door frame was bent, screen torn from prior pets. New screens look great, slides well, and has a metal, not plastic handle. Mike was so friendly - very nice to work with. All done right outside my home with his mobile unit so I didn't need to do anything. Very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend Cross Breeze Screens! read more

Cross Breeze Screens - New sliding screen door. I went with the medium grade as have no pets currently. - Windows Installation Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I cannot say enough good things about owner/operator Mike Cratch and the quality of the products we purchased. I did A LOT of research to find what we were looking for: high quality, steel security doors with multi-point locking that could not be kicked in, and also looked beautiful & stylish. And of course the doors had to have screens (steel mesh) so we could prop them open and get a nice breeze & have unobstructed views of our garden. I found everything I wanted through Cross Breeze Screens. Mike provided excellent customer service from start to finish. He is a true professional and an all-around great guy who knows his products and just about everything having to do with doors and home security. I liked that Mike is a local business owner, and you only deal with him - and what a pleasure it was. Mike listened to our needs, took measurements, guided us with the product selection, and did the install. We went with Vista security doors and never looked back. We now have gorgeous security doors over both our French doors and our back door that do NOT look like "security doors" at all. We have peace of mind and a nice upgrade to our home. Give Mike a call if you want security doors from a great company you can trust. It will be one of THE BEST decisions you'll make this year in regard to your home. read more

Excellent screen door and screen service. We love the screen door that Mike installed. It looks good for a screen door. Highly recommend!

Our Patio Door was all broken and messed up by kids so wanted a good and rigid door for which i reached out to several tech but cross breeze had the best quote and after seeing his work i am very happy to see a new door with a stronger screen not easily penetrable by kids and for the frame he gave us options on which to use like heavy duty, medium duty. And also explain which to use where to user and based on that i am happy about my selection as the door seems to perfectly fit our requirement. read more

Had a good experience. Mike was in constant communication with me and was always responsive. I really appreciate the communication and of course the new screen door. It's a pretty incredible screen door. Check it out: https://youtu.be/meskyaNrqOQ read more

I recently had the opportunity to use Mike Stribling at Cross Breeze Screens. First, don't waste your time calling other screen companies. I can tell you he has the best prices by far. We scheduled an appointment for 9am, the first appointment of the day. He was prompt, which I always appreciate. In no time he had the two patio screen doors off and was carrying them to his trailer. He said one of my wheels needed to be lubed and would take care of that. In short order the new screens were installed, and he was carrying them back to the back yard for installation into the track. He cleaned the track to ensure there was no debris that would not hinder the sliding operation. He adjusted the doors to ensure a perfect fit and roll. In my case, he also suggested a piece that would allow the screen doors to lock. This was something that was missing during the initial install some 20 years ago. I was impressed with his promptness, work ethic and respect for the work sight (cleanliness). In the end I paid him for his services. I was happy with the job and the screens look great. Because of his reasonable costs, I was able to afford the pet mesh or thicker screen and I don't even have a pet. I will end this, how I began this. Don't waste your time calling around to others that will highball you or not show up when they say they will. Just call MIke. read more

I live in Simi Valley and I had multiple window screens replaced as well as backyard retractable screen door installed with Mike. First of all, I really appreciated how honest Mike was. He will tell you exactly how much each work is going to cost and why, there is no "things might add up later" unless there actually is something that is really missing. Second, his supplies are good quality. For the retractable screen door, I wanted the brand "clearview" and that is what Mike had. He did not even make a big deal about having that brand as his supplier when other screen door companies made it sound like it was a brand that I wouldn't be able to get unless I worked with them. Third, Mike is very kind and he will listen to your concerns as he work in your home. I shared a bit of a concern with having difficulty cleaning slits in my backyard door metal parts, Mike got his tools out and cleaned them so well there was not even a single dust left after his cleaning (which he didn't have to, it was not part of his work). And lastly, his price is very competitive compare to other screen companies. Per Mike it's because he is the owner and the worker of his company and that he does not want to charge his customers more than needed for he wants "good business" with his customers, especially since he only works with local areas. You can research on your own and get multiple estimates, you will probably agree with my decision at the end. I highly recommend Mike for his professional and honest work ethic! read more

My wonderful dog came crashing through the screen door at full speed and completely destroyed it! The frame was bent and jammed in the doorway, took me 20 minutes to get it out. Mike to the rescue. He had to order the screen but usually has it in stock. A few days later he came to install it for $150 out the door. read more

HiMike (owner) just finished 6 screens for us. If you have dogs (especially big dogs), I recommend you have Cross Breeze install the "pet screens". They were installed on our two screened French doors and I feel confident my goofy dog won't ruin these screens. Spend the extra $$$...its totally worth it. Mike was very friendly, quick and efficient...highly recommend. UPDATE 7/26/14 I had Mike come back and build two "Chuck Norris" tough sliding screens for my house. He used the pet screen and the frame that's guaranteed not to bend even if my 100lb fat Labrador tries to prove him wrong. The fit, finish, and pricing are worth you calling and having Cross Breeze Screens repair or build screens for you. read more

My boyfriend and I just recently bought a house in Chatsworth and although it is brand new the previous owner tossed out the screens! So I called Mike from Crossbreeze screens and he got right back to me by voicemail the same evening. We coordinated schedules and he came out for an estimate and showed up on time! Mike is a quiet guy, but gives an honest and very reasonable quote. I had one other guy from the screen shop come out for a quote afterward and he was far more costly by comparison. I work 12 hour shifts and my boyfriend travels so we really valued that they were a mobile screen service. It was as easy as calling setting an appointment and in one day the job was done. Mike showed up at 9:30 AM and worked until 5 o'clock nonstop!!! He is by far one of the hardest workers I've come across, and his attention to detail truly delighted us. He fabricated and customized a sliding screen door with a new track on a frame that was not quite level, so he shimmed it and now it's impossible to tell it's not part of the original house. Great prices, excellent craftsmanship and honest guys!!! read more

Highly recommend! Mike arrived exactly at appointment time. He was very professional and explained everything to me. Price was exactly as quoted. Got all screens plus a slider re-done within a few hours. They all look great! Will definitely use again when I'm ready for retractable front doors. read more

Can't say enough about Mike and his professionalism. He is honest, takes time to explain options so you understand everything. One of the best traits is he does not try to upsell you on anything!! This is rare. Don't bother looking for anyone else to take care of your screen needs. Call this guy and see for yourself!! read more

Mike is the man!! He was very quick to respond and detailed in expectations. We had Mike Install a retractable screen on our back door ( clear view) and replace the mesh on our front screen. His price was fair and customer service was outstanding. We will absolutely use Mike again read more

We had a new screen door installed on our back patio door today. It looks very nice and works smoothly. Our indoor cat will enjoy looking outside of it while getting some fresh air :) We were very pleased with CrossBreeze Screens. Very nice and professional customer service. Mike did a great job with the installation and was very pleasant to work with. We highly recommend CrossBreeze Screens, and we would use them again in the future, if we ever need another screen or screen door installed! read more

Mike is an absolute delight to work with and he is very knowledgeable, honest and has reasonable prices. He has added screens to a wide variety of doors, cabin windows and fixed issues on our property and we couldn't be happier with his work. One time we couldn't reach Mike because he was sick with a cold and when he called us back he immediately came and took care of all of our issues and didn't even charge us for some of it because of causing us a minor inconvenience. He is very fair and if you need any screen work done I couldn't recommend a better option out there. read more

I tried for 3 weeks to get an appointment. Mrs. Mike would call back at odd times (like 7:30 at night) and not be available for an immediate call back. We finally connected and I made an appointment for yesterday. No show/no call. Voicemail on phone full and "contact us" link on website disabled. What a poor way of doing business. read more

Great quality of craftsmanship on replacing the screens with the frame. Great quality of screen used. Everything fits great and looks great.

Nice guy, knows his stuff, felt like I was dealing with a true professional. Did a good job! read more

Found mike on google. Rang and left my name & number. Called me back later in the day. Made appointment for screen door to be replaced after my dog popped his head through. Mike was ahead of schedule and arrived earlier than my appointment time, which I was thrilled with. Fast, efficient, reliable and very reasonable. Would have no trouble in recommending Mike and CrissBreeze Screens. read more

I called Mike to replace 3 screens in a condo I just purchased. All 3 had bent frames and/or holes in the screen. On the phone Mike told me that if the frame is bent they'd have to be replaced; so it was, when he showed up he confirmed that all 3 had to be completely replaced. Mike showed up on time and it took him less than 1 hour to replace all 3 with custom screens and cost me less than $100 for all 3 custom screens. Would definitely recommend. read more

I was in need of re-screening of several windows, including my patio sliders. I had seen a recommendation for Cross Breeze Screens, so I thought I'd give them a try. I'm so glad I did. Mike came out quickly, did an amazing job, and his prices were very reasonable. His number is (805) 616-6368. If you need screens, he's your man. read more

Mike communicates clearly about the work he is capable of doing and more importantly he shows up when he says, does a great job, and makes sure the customer is satisfied. I had just purchased a new home and called Cross Breeze Screens after reading their positive reviews on here. I made a good choice. I highly recommend this business. read more

Had a great experience! Mike is very knowledgable and friendly. He also works quickly and with great accuracy. If anyone has any screen issues, I suggest contacting Cross Breeze Screens. read more

I had 3 different companies out to get quotes on re-screening many of my windows and adding a front door screen. Mike was not only the most affordable but the most professional BY FAR!!! He talked to me about different options for different windows since we have cats and I was worried about durability. He also showed me many beautiful front door screens that I could choose from. If you don't have a front door screen you MUST get one! It has been a life changer. I can get a cross breeze (no pun intended) in our home during warm days/evenings and don't have to worry about bugs getting in or the cats getting out. I can hear and see the kids playing on the street which makes me feel safer. Another great part is when people come knocking to sell things you feel much better having that screen there to separate you from a stranger. All of my neighbors noticed our screen door and told us how beautiful it is and how it compliments the house's exterior so nicely. I give them all Mike's info at CrossBreeze so they can have as great of an experience as I did!!!! PS - Check out my screen door pics...you're gonna want one! read more

All I can say is WOW! We just bought a house with several huge windows and no screens. I called around and the price for screening the house was several hundred dollars! I found Mike through Google maps. Thank goodness I did, his price was great and he was able to come out the next day! All of my various sized windows were screened within two hours! Thank you Mike, you really saved us! Although he is in Simi Valley he services other areas. read more

Mike's a good guy and knows his business. He repaired all of our screens at our previous home and it we were happy with them. I kept his number on hand. We recently moved and the old sliders were torn up and pretty useless... Called Mike and he replaced put new screens in the frames and built a brand new double slider for our french doors. He was not happy with the way the doors fit ... so without me asking - he spent another 1/2 to get it right. Great work. Reasonable price. Good guy. read more

I can't really rate this company on their service because that would require they actually interact with their customers. I've spoke with Mike twice in the last week get to my condo and fix my screens for my tenants. No apology, just an "oh, yeah I've been meaning to call him. I'll call in ten minutes" and of course that didn't happen. Not sure how anyone runs a successful business like that. Good luck. read more

Highly recommend. Arrived on time, so polite and prices were reasonable. Did a very good job.

This the second time we used them. He did a great job installing the screen door again. He was on time, very thorough and the door is great. We have enjoyed using the other doors, allowing us to bring the fresh air in and keep all the bugs out! Thank you again Mike read more

All the reviews are correct. Mike came, gave a reasonable estimate, returned a week later, completed the job with his mobile screen creation studio/workshop. Great guy. Excellent work. I would hire him back anytime I needed new screens. I have already recommended him to several of my friends and now with this review am doing to same to thousands of my closest Yelpers. Hire Mike. You will be happy you did. read more
