Phoenix Security Screen Companies Compared (2026)

By Andy Bishop, Paramount Security Screens · Updated October 27, 2026 · Every company’s details are linked to its own website.

Phoenix has a lot of security door and screen companies, and they don’t all sell the same thing.

Below is every company side by side, what the two product types are, and who each company is the best fit for. We’ve included ourselves, and we’ve kept to what each company publishes about itself.

Steel security doors vs stainless mesh screens

Before you compare companies, it helps to know which of two products you’re shopping for, because the companies below mostly specialize in one.

Steel security doors are welded steel frames, usually 14 or 16 gauge, filled with perforated steel sheet, decorative ironwork or bars. They’re very strong and they come in a lot of styles, from simple to ornate. The trade-off is the view and the airflow. Perforated steel and ironwork block more of both than mesh, and these companies usually focus on entry doors and gates rather than every window in the house.

Stainless mesh security screens use woven stainless steel wire, typically .035 inch, stretched tight in an aluminum or steel frame. From a few feet away they look like a regular screen. You can see out clearly, the breeze comes through, and they also cut a good part of the sun’s heat. Because they look like ordinary screens, they’re the usual choice when you want every window and slider covered without the house looking like it has bars on it.

Plenty of homes end up with both, for example a steel entry door at the front and mesh screens on the windows and patio slider. Several companies on this list sell both. If you’re mostly after windows and sliders, start with the mesh specialists. If you want a statement front door or a gate, start with the steel door shops.

How to compare the quotes you get

Whoever you call, ask for an itemized written quote that names the product, the gauge or wire diameter, the frame material and the warranty. Then line them up on the same five things:

1. The product. Steel door with perforated steel, steel door with mesh, or a mesh screen in an aluminum frame. These aren’t the same purchase.
2. The warranty in writing. How long for the frame, the hardware, the finish and the labor, and whether it transfers.
3. The break-in guarantee. A dollar amount and conditions, in writing.
4. Who installs. Employees or subcontractors, and who you call in year five.
5. The license. Every company should give you an Arizona ROC number you can look up on the Registrar of Contractors website.

Common questions

What is the best security screen company in Phoenix?

It depends on what you’re buying. For ornamental iron doors and gates, First Impression and Native Sun specialize in them. For steel doors, Steel Shield and Steel Advantage. For stainless mesh screens on windows and sliders, compare Paramount, Boss, Bulldog and Den Defenders on warranty, break-in coverage and who does the installing.

What’s the difference between a security door and a security screen?

A security door is usually a welded steel frame filled with perforated steel or ironwork. A security screen uses woven stainless steel mesh, so it looks like a normal screen, keeps your view and lets air through. Both stop forced entry when they’re built and anchored well.

How much does a security screen door cost in Phoenix?

Among companies that publish prices, Steel Advantage lists steel door specials from $2,400 to $2,550 installed, Den Defenders says Phoenix door projects start around $3,000, and Boss lists swing doors from $1,700 on its Phoenix page. Size, style and the screen material move the price most.

Which Phoenix security screen warranties transfer to a new owner?

Paramount and Boss say their warranties transfer when you sell the house. Bulldog’s written warranty and Steel Shield’s warranty page cover the original purchaser only. Ask each company to show you the transfer terms in writing.

Which security screen companies pay your deductible after a break-in?

Paramount reimburses up to $4,000 of your insurance deductible, Boss up to $3,000, and Steel Shield and Steel Advantage up to $1,000. Den Defenders offers a lifetime no break-in warranty. Bulldog advertises a guarantee without publishing the terms.

How do I check a contractor’s license in Arizona?

Search the company name or ROC number on the Arizona Registrar of Contractors website. Arizona requires a license for jobs over $1,000, and the lookup shows whether the license is active and any complaints on file.
