Tashman Home Center Helps Beverly Hills Homeowners Choose the Right Screen Door with a Built-In Dog Door

West Hollywood, CA / Storyteller / Jul 21, 2026 /

For many Beverly Hills homeowners, creating a home that’s both beautiful and pet-friendly often comes with compromise. Traditional aftermarket pet doors require cutting into an existing screen door, leaving rough edges, weakening the frame, and creating a finished product that rarely complements a luxury home.

Tashman Home Center, a fourth-generation, family-owned window, door, and screen specialist headquartered just minutes away in West Hollywood, offers a different solution. Rather than modifying an existing screen door, the company designs and installs custom screen doors with built-in dog doors, fabricated specifically for each home’s opening, creating a seamless appearance, improved durability, and long-lasting performance.

“The biggest misconception homeowners have is thinking a built-in pet door is a standalone product,” said a spokesperson for Tashman Home Center. “It’s actually a custom feature that’s integrated into a professionally built screen door. Choosing the right solution starts with understanding how your existing door operates.”

Choosing the Right Screen Door for Your Home

Not every home requires the same type of screen door. Because every opening is different, Tashman Home Center offers built-in pet door solutions for both swinging and sliding screen doors, allowing homeowners to select the option that best fits their home’s layout and architecture.

Swinging Screen Doors with Built-In Dog Doors

Swinging screen doors are ideal for traditional front entries, side doors, and French doors. Each screen door is custom-measured and professionally installed, with the pet door built directly into the screen during fabrication rather than added afterward. The result is a clean, finished appearance that blends naturally with the home’s entry while providing pets with their own convenient access.

Sliding Screen Doors with Built-In Dog Doors

For patio sliders and expansive glass openings, sliding screen doors with built-in dog doors offer the same seamless design. Because the pet opening is integrated into the custom-built screen, the entire assembly glides smoothly as a single unit, without the bulky appearance or reduced durability often associated with aftermarket inserts.

This has become an increasingly popular solution for Beverly Hills homeowners, where indoor-outdoor living spaces are a defining feature of many luxury homes.

Built to Stand Up to Everyday Pet Use

Anyone who owns a dog or cat understands how quickly a standard screen can become damaged. Pets naturally push, scratch, and lean against screen doors, often causing ordinary fiberglass mesh to tear or pull away from the frame.

To improve long-term durability, Tashman Home Center builds each pet opening into the screen door from the beginning and pairs it with heavy-duty pet-resistant mesh engineered to withstand everyday wear from active pets. Instead of repeatedly replacing damaged screens, homeowners receive a custom-built solution designed for years of reliable use.

The result is a screen door that allows fresh air to circulate, keeps insects outside, and gives pets the freedom to move comfortably between indoor and outdoor living spaces—all without sacrificing the appearance of the home.

Why Professional Custom Installation Matters

Unlike mass-produced screen doors found in retail stores, every screen door installed by Tashman Home Center is custom-fabricated to the exact dimensions of the opening.

The company’s experienced in-house installers carefully measure every project before fabrication, ensuring a precise fit, smooth operation, and professional finish. Every installer is fully trained, background checked, and committed to delivering the level of craftsmanship that has defined Tashman Home Center since 1961.

Because custom screen doors are built to order, homeowners are encouraged to schedule consultations before peak spring and summer demand, when lead times for custom fabrication typically increase.
