How Much Do You Charge to Repair A Screen?

Just like to title says, as in take the old one out and put a new screen and spline into the frame.

I’ve come across a few screens that have holes.

Not one has wanted one fixed yet but I’m sure it will come up.

Thanks for you input

$20

@leavingnc thank you

Are most newer screens fiberglass?

20-30 bucks for windows. I only use black Fiberglass.

Sliding screen doors are 85+.

10 for 1/2
15-20 for full length
35 for sliding doors

Various prices if the width is over 34", or if they want the heavier duty ‘patio screen’ cloth.

I am the only WC in town that does it on site, so I can charge a reasonable rate. I’ve found screen repair to be a VERY lucrative, sometimes exceeding WC profits.

On a side note, I’m fed up with Phifer. They may be USA made, but their QC sucks. Thinking about switching back to New York Wire or whatever the company is called now.

Very helpful, thank you @dcbrock

I’ll keep those points in mind

Have you tried Saint-Gobain ADFORS? They seem to get better reviews than Phifer at lowes.com

ADFORS bought out NYW a while back if I’m not mistaken, seems there are only two companies making screen now.

in our area 99.9% of windows 30 year old or newer are fiberglass.

p.s. the $20 is for a window screen, it’s $35 for a slider door.

…unless you run across old Andersens with the mega square channel spline and corroded metal screens.:face_vomiting:

Let us take a moment of silence and ponder the POS Pella screens with the brittle, broken plastic keys that have to be dug out of the channels before you can pound in new ones. Oh and what a JOY it is trying to tension the fabric just right so they don’t HOURGLASS because they are 4-5’ tall without any center support bar.

Only sold as an add on service to window cleaning (Note: $100 minimum), so with that said $10 for most screens, $30 screen doors, $38 minimum for frame and screen (standard size). Like I said, it is an add on service after window cleaning has been booked.
