Mostly age and weather, and on the beachfront the ocean itself. Big winter swells run from November through April, and the shoreline is retreating: about 73 percent of North Shore beaches are eroding, with roughly two and a half miles of homes within 20 feet of the sand. Inland, the houses are old: nearly half of Haleiwa's homes predate 1970, and Waialua and Kahuku grew up as plantation towns, with camp houses that are still lived in today. Here that means rescreening and rebuilding window screens, repairing sliders and hinged doors, and rescreening lanais on houses that have seen decades of sun and spray.
Built for the swell season
Frames near the beach get checked for corrosion at corners and fasteners, where it starts.
Older openings
Plantation-era and 1950s-60s houses get screens measured and built to the real opening.
Rentals between guests
With roughly four in ten homes rented in Haleiwa and Pupukea, owners often book screen work around tenants.
Haleiwa's look
In the Haleiwa special district, design guidelines favor wood frames and plain, non-shiny aluminum.
Mokuleia to Sunset Beach
The North Shore neighborhood board covers five subdistricts. Kahuku, just past them, belongs to the Koolauloa board, and we go there too.
Mokuleia
West of Waialua toward the end of the road at Kaena, a short run of houses near the beach.
Waialua
Home of Oahu's last sugar mill, closed in 1996. Older houses and original openings.
Haleiwa
A special district since 1984, with design guidelines meant to keep its plantation-town look.
Kawailoa
Between Haleiwa and Waimea, with the coast road and the beach close by.
Pupukea and Sunset
Upland lots of an acre or more from the 1950s and 60s above Sunset, Pipeline and Ehukai.
North Shore homes
Haleiwa and Pupukea each have roughly 1,750 homes in census estimates. Both are mostly detached, and in each about four homes in ten are rented, against roughly a quarter in Kailua. Nearly half of Haleiwa's homes were built before 1970.
Older houses, many of them rented, with owners who are often not on site. Clear written quotes and photos of the damage matter more here than usual.
Screens across the island of Oahu
Windward, leeward, central and town. Salt exposure changes a lot between these places, so mesh and frame choices change with them. Area notes: Kailua window screens and North Shore window screens.
