About Us

Cross Breeze Screens

At Cross Breeze Screens, our goal is simple: help homeowners stay cooler, more comfortable, and bug-free with custom window screens, solar screens, pet screens, and screen doors built for real East Texas living. I’m Mike Cratch, founder of Cross Breeze Screens, and after more than 30 years in the screening business, I started this company because homeowners deserved better.

Better service. Better pricing. Better screens. With over $6 million worth of screens personally fabricated, our experience is hands-on, practical, and built around solving real problems at your home.

Why We Started Cross Breeze Screens

After decades in the screening industry, we saw the same frustrations come up again and again. Homeowners were tired of high prices, long wait times, poor communication, and screens that looked good for a little while but could not stand up to Texas sun, storms, kids, pets, and daily use.

So we built Cross Breeze Screens differently from the beginning.

Instead of asking you to haul old screens to a shop or wait around for weeks, we bring the shop to you. Our mobile setup allows us to measure, build, and install custom screens right at your home. No showroom overhead. No unnecessary delays. No inflated pricing just to cover a fancy building.

Just honest work, quality materials, and screens made to fit the way you actually live.

Built Around True Mobile Screen Service

Our true mobile service is one of the biggest reasons homeowners call Cross Breeze Screens. We arrive with a fully equipped trailer, ready to handle custom on-site fabrication for windows, doors, solar screens, pet screens, and more.

That means your screens are not guessed, rushed, or pulled from a shelf. Every screen is measured for your specific window or door, then built to fit properly.

This matters because a good screen is not just about keeping bugs out. It affects airflow, comfort, curb appeal, energy efficiency, and how well your home handles daily life. When a screen fits right, works right, and lasts longer, your whole home feels better.

Real Solutions for Texas Homes

Texas homes need screens that can handle more than a calm afternoon breeze. Between brutal heat, heavy storms, strong sunlight, active pets, and busy families, ordinary screens often do not last.

That is why we focus on real-world solutions.

Our solar screens are designed to help reduce heat and make your home more comfortable during the hottest months. Our heavy-duty pet screens are made for families who love their animals but are tired of torn mesh and constant repairs. Our screen doors are built with durability in mind, especially for homes with kids, pets, and frequent use.

We do not believe in selling you something just because it is available. We believe in recommending what actually makes sense for your home.

Our Win-Win Philosophy

Cross Breeze Screens was built on a win-win philosophy. You get long-lasting, money-saving screen solutions that make your home more comfortable. We get to earn a fair living doing work we genuinely enjoy while meeting great people along the way.

That balance matters to us.

We are not here to pressure anyone into buying something they do not need. Customers choose us because they feel heard, respected, and confident they are getting honest advice. We explain your options clearly, show you samples, and give you straightforward pricing before the work begins.

A great screen job should feel simple, fair, and easy from start to finish.

A Small Team by Choice

Our team is small by design because we want to stay personal, responsive, and detail-oriented. We are hardworking, friendly, and respectful in the way we treat your home.

We are the kind of crew that pays attention to small details, cleans up after ourselves, and treats every customer like a neighbor.

Mike Cratch, our founder and lead technician, still does most of the work himself. With more than 30 years of hands-on experience, Mike knows how to fabricate, install, troubleshoot, and solve problems on the spot. He also knows that good service is about more than technical skill. It is about listening, communicating, and making sure every customer feels taken care of.

Proudly Serving Sulphur Springs & East Texas

We proudly serve Sulphur Springs and surrounding East Texas communities, helping local homeowners create cooler, more enjoyable homes. Many of our customers are families with kids and pets, retirees, and people who simply want better airflow, fewer bugs, lower cooling strain, and stronger screens.

This area has its own challenges, and we understand them. The sun can be intense. Storms can roll in fast. Pets can be tough on doors and windows. That is why we recommend products based on how your home is used, not a one-size-fits-all sales script.
