Estimate window screen repair and replacement cost per screen — with the free calculator.
A torn window screen lets bugs in and looks bad. Rescreening is a quick, cheap fix. This guide covers the cost per screen and a calculator.
THE SHORT ANSWER
The short answer
Repairing a window screen runs $20–$70 per screen. Replacing a screen entirely costs $147–$515 for a project, averaging $318.
Repair vs replace
A hole in the mesh fixes with a rescreening kit at $20-$70 per screen. A bent frame or a screen torn in several places is better replaced at $40-$80 per screen, plus labor.
- Mesh repair: $20–$70 per screen
- Full screen replacement: $40–$80 per screen
- Project (multiple screens): $147–$515
When to rescreen
Rips, holes, and loose mesh let insects in and reduce airflow. Replacing the spline and mesh restores a screen for a fraction of the window replacement cost.
What affects the price
Screen size and material matter — fiberglass is budget, aluminum and pet-resistant mesh cost more. Custom sizes and hard-to-reach windows add labor. Retractable and sliding screens cost more to service.
