Window screens take a beating. Sun, wind, kids, pets, hail, and time all wear them down — and once mesh starts sagging or tearing, bugs find their way in fast.
The good news: most window screens don't need to be replaced. In most cases a screen pro can rescreen the existing frame and have it looking factory-new in about 15 minutes per screen. If the frame is damaged, a brand-new screen is the right call — and it's usually more affordable than homeowners expect.

What's the smarter call?
- 1Rescreen the frame when the frame itself is straight and clean — replacement isn't needed.
- 2Replace the screen when the frame is damaged, corroded, or no longer fits the window opening.
- 3Upgrade the mesh (pet-resistant, no-see-um, or solar) at the same time — labor is the same.
How window screen repair works
Most screen jobs follow the same simple flow. A local screen pro will measure your existing frames, confirm the mesh type you want (standard fiberglass, charcoal, pet-resistant, solar, or no-see-um), and either rescreen on-site or take the frames back to their shop.
On-site rescreens usually take 10–20 minutes per screen. If a frame is damaged or out-of-square, building a new screen is usually the better call — it's quick, affordable, and the result lasts longer.
When the work is done, the pro reinstalls each screen and checks the fit. A good rescreen should sit tight in the frame with no waves, gaps, or sagging.
What it costs
Most window screen repairs land between $20 and $75 per screen, depending on the mesh you choose and how big the screens are. Specialty mesh — pet-resistant, no-see-um, solar — adds $5–$25 per screen.
Whole-house jobs (all the screens at once) usually come with a small per-screen discount, since the pro is already on-site and set up.

Choosing the right mesh
Standard charcoal fiberglass is the default — affordable, easy to see through, and good enough for most homes.
Pet-resistant mesh is roughly 7x stronger than standard fiberglass — worth it if you have cats or dogs that lean on the screens.
Solar mesh blocks up to 90% of solar heat, which can noticeably lower cooling bills in hot climates. It looks darker from outside and slightly tints the view from inside.
No-see-um (or 'tiny mesh') is woven tight enough to block the smallest biting insects — common along the coast and in the South.

Frequently asked questions
What if my window screen frame is damaged?+
If a frame is corroded, split at the corners, or no longer fits the window opening, building a brand-new screen is faster than trying to nurse the old one along — and it looks much better when it's done.
How long does window screen repair take?+
Most rescreens take 10–20 minutes per screen on-site. Whole-house jobs are usually done in a single visit.
What is rescreening vs. replacing?+
Rescreening replaces just the mesh and spline — you keep the original frame. Replacing builds a brand-new screen from scratch. Rescreening is cheaper when the frame is straight; replacement is smarter when it isn't.
How long does it take to get a quote?+
About 60 seconds. You answer a few questions about the screens or doors you need, and you'll see a real price range before you give us any personal info.
Do I have to commit to anything?+
No. Getting a quote is free, with no obligation. If the price works for you, a local screen pro will follow up to confirm details and schedule a measurement.
Is the quote the final price?+
It's a real, honest estimate based on real local pricing. Final pricing may shift slightly after an in-person measurement — for example, if a frame turns out to be in worse shape than expected — but reputable pros stick close to the quote.
