Why This Service Matters

Why Screen Repairs
Hold Up Move-Ins

Whether it’s one torn screen or a full turnover unit missing several, most screen problems are simple to fix but easy to let stall a move-in timeline. Here is what we see most often.

01

Torn Mesh Letting in Insects

A single tear in window screen mesh defeats the entire purpose of the screen and generates tenant complaints fast, especially in warmer markets where windows stay open for months at a time.

02

Bent or Warped Frames That Won’t Seat

Aluminum screen frames bend from storms, rough handling, or age, which keeps the screen from sitting flush in the track even after the mesh itself is fine. A screen that doesn’t seat properly might as well not be there.

03

Turnover Units Held Up by Missing Screens

Move-in inspections frequently flag missing or damaged screens as an open item. On a turnover timeline, a fast, scoped screen repair across every affected window is the difference between an on-time move-in and a delay.

What Property Managers Say
After Their First Few Jobs

★★★★★

“I have owned my home since a little before COVID and it was so terrible finding service providers with prices I trusted. I worked with Ben (the Owner) when he was running a landscaping business and when he said he was going to start a maintenance and repair company, I have used him ever since. EASY BREASY, Baby!”

Operational Case for Screen Repair

Screen Repair Closes Turnover Punch List Items Faster Than Full Replacement

A missing or damaged screen is a common turnover punch list item, but it doesn’t need to become a full window replacement conversation. In the large majority of cases, the frame and window itself are fine and only the mesh or a bent corner needs attention.

Treating every damaged screen as a full window replacement wastes budget and adds days to a turnover timeline. Scoping screen repair correctly, mesh versus frame versus full replacement, keeps the punch list moving without overspending.

For property managers running multiple units through turnover at once, batching screen repairs into a single work order across a property is typically faster and cheaper than dispatching separately for each unit.

Cost Scenario — Screen Repair vs. Full Replacement

$300–$800+
Standard mesh re-screen, per window

What Screen Repair Covers
vs. When Full Window Replacement Is Needed

Most screen issues are a mesh or frame problem, not a window problem. Here’s how we draw that line so you’re not paying for more than the job actually needs.

Included in Standard Repair

Mesh Re-Screening

Torn, sagging, or missing mesh is replaced in the existing frame with standard, pet-resistant, or solar mesh depending on your preference. This covers the large majority of screen work orders we receive.

Covers: torn mesh, sagging screens, pest holes
Included in Standard Repair

Frame Straightening and Corner Repair

Bent aluminum frames are straightened or corners are re-set so the screen seats flush in the track again. If a frame is too damaged to salvage, we replace the frame itself while reusing the existing track hardware where possible.

Covers: bent corners, warped frames, loose spline
Flagged During Quote

When Full Window Replacement Is Needed

If the window track itself is cracked, the window sash is warped, or the glass is broken, that’s beyond screen repair scope. We flag it clearly in the quote so it can be scoped as a separate renovation work order rather than bundled in unexpectedly.

Escalates to: window replacement, glass repair
What We Cover

What Every Window Screen
Work Order Covers

From a single torn screen to a full turnover unit, every work order is scoped before work begins. Fit verification is never skipped, since a screen that doesn’t seat correctly generates a repeat call.

1

Screen and Frame Inspection

Each affected window is inspected to determine whether the issue is mesh, frame, or a window-level problem beyond screen repair scope, before any work order is quoted.

InspectionScope DeterminationPer-Window Assessment
2

Frame Straightening or Replacement

Bent frames are straightened where possible, or replaced when damage is too severe, so the screen seats flush in the existing window track.

Frame StraighteningFrame ReplacementTrack Fit
3

Mesh Re-Screening

New mesh is cut, stretched, and secured with fresh spline for a tight, wrinkle-free fit, in standard, pet-resistant, or solar mesh depending on the work order.

Fit and Reinstall Verification

The finished screen is reinstalled and checked for a flush, secure fit in the track before the job is marked complete, so it doesn’t pop out or rattle after we leave.

Seasonal Demand Patterns

When Window Screen Repair
Demand Peaks Across Our Markets

Screen demand tracks both weather and lease turnover cycles. Here is what we see across our active markets each year.

Phoenix • Tucson • Las Vegas

Pre-Cooling Season Rush

Screens matter most once windows start opening again in spring before peak summer heat makes that impractical. Demand spikes as tenants and owners check screens before relying on them for the season.

📅 Peak demand window: Feb – April
Tampa • Orlando • Jacksonville • Atlanta

Storm Season Damage Repair

Screens take the brunt of wind damage during storm season. Post-storm repair requests cluster heavily in late spring and summer across Southeast markets.

📅 Peak demand window: May – Aug
All Markets

Turnover Season Punch List Volume

Screen repair volume rises across every market during peak lease turnover months, when move-out inspections flag damaged or missing screens as open punch list items.

📅 Peak demand window: May – Sept
Denver • Seattle

Post-Winter Storm Damage Check

Winter storms and ice loosen or bend frames that don’t show damage until windows are opened again in spring, driving a secondary demand spike as that damage gets discovered.

📅 Peak demand window: March – May
Pricing Reality

What Moves the Price on
a Window Screen Work Order

We don’t publish fixed pricing because screen repair scope varies by screen count, size, and whether frames need replacement, details that shape the quote once we know what’s actually needed. What we can tell you is exactly what drives cost so you can submit an accurate work order and receive a scoped quote within 48 hours.

For general handyman pricing context, see our handyman hourly rate guide. The six factors below are what we use internally when building a screen repair quote.

How to Get an Accurate Quote

Submit a Work Order With These Details. Get a Scoped Quote in 48 Hours.

Our quote process is: submit the request with the number of screens and unit or property address, we assess and build a scoped, market-rate quote, you approve it, and the job is scheduled. Payment is triggered by confirmed completion, not before work begins.

A good work order submission includes: property address, number of screens affected, whether it’s mesh damage or a bent frame if known, and any mesh type preference. That’s it.

Submit a Screen Repair Work Order →
01

Number of screens

The primary cost driver. A single-screen repair costs less per unit than a bulk turnover job, and batching multiple screens on one property in one work order is more efficient than separate dispatches.

02

Screen size and custom sizing

Standard-size screens are quicker to source and fit than oversized or custom-dimension windows requiring a cut-to-fit frame.

03

Frame repair vs. full frame replacement

Straightening a salvageable frame costs less than replacing a frame that’s too bent or corroded to fix.

04

Mesh type

Standard fiberglass mesh is the baseline. Pet-resistant and solar mesh cost more per screen due to material.

05

Multi-unit or portfolio scope

Bulk turnover jobs across multiple units on one property typically quote at a lower per-screen rate than isolated single-screen repairs.

06

Site access

Ground-floor windows are faster to service than upper-floor units requiring a ladder or additional access time.

How It Works

How We Scope, Dispatch,
and Close a Window Screen Job

No coordinating separate hires, no follow-ups, no wondering if anyone showed up.

Step 1 – 2

Submit, Get a Quote, Approve

Send the work order from your PM software, by email, or through our portal. We integrate with AppFolio, Buildium, RentVine, Latchel, and most major platforms.

Within 48 hours, you receive a scoped, market-rate quote covering screen count, mesh type, and any frame repair needed. Approve it and the job is scheduled. See how our quote turnaround works.

Step 3 – 4

Dispatched, Completed, Documented

Our routing system assigns the nearest available capacity based on location. Most jobs, even multi-screen turnover units, complete in a single visit the same day.

Before-and-after photos are required before a job can be marked complete. We photograph each damaged screen before repair and the reinstalled, fitted screen before the work order closes.

Step 5

Photos, Invoice, and Completion Documentation

The day work is completed, you receive timestamped before-and-after photos and an invoice. Payment is triggered by confirmed completion. Not before. See how our completion photo system works.

Photos are formatted with timestamps and property address for move-in documentation, owner reporting, or internal work order records. No additional documentation step required on your end.

Our Commitment
Our Completion Standard

We Complete Every Screen Repair to the Scope Agreed.

If a screen doesn’t seat flush and secure when we close a work order, we make it right before the invoice goes out. That is not a policy statement. It is how our documentation review works operationally.

48-hour quote turnaround on all work orders
Before-and-after photos required before any job can be marked complete
You pay after confirmed completion. Not before work begins.
Re-dispatch guarantee: If a scheduled visit doesn’t happen or the job isn’t completed to the approved scope, the job is re-dispatched at no additional coordination cost before the work order is closed. You are not left managing follow-up.
Documentation for Turnover and Owner Reporting

Screen Repair Documentation for Move-In and Owner Records

Move-in inspections and security deposit disputes both hinge on documented condition. Our standard work order close process delivers exactly what property managers need to close a punch list item cleanly.

The turnover renovation and screen repair processes share the same documentation standard, so screen items on a turnover punch list close out with the rest of the unit refresh in one coordinated report.

Timestamped before-and-after photos

Date, time, and property address embedded in photo metadata. Ready for move-in file documentation without additional formatting.

Per-screen scope documentation

Invoice lists each screen repaired, whether mesh or frame, and mesh type used. Satisfies most owner and portfolio-level reporting requirements.

Turnover punch list alignment

Completion is documented in a format that maps directly to a standard move-in or move-out punch list item, no reformatting needed on your end.

Owner reporting package

All completion documentation is formatted for owner-level reporting. Senior property managers and asset managers receive the same documentation level as direct clients.

What Our Completion Package Includes for Every Screen Job

Every closed work order delivers:

✓  Before photo (damaged screen, per window)
✓  After photo (reinstalled, fitted screen, timestamped)
✓  Scope-matched invoice (screen count, mesh type, frame work)
✓  Same-day delivery on day of completion
✓  Ready for move-in file or owner submission
✓  No additional formatting required on your end

Documentation delivery is a hard requirement in our work order close process. Photos are required before a job status can be marked complete in our system. This is enforced operationally, not as a policy statement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Window Screen Repair: Common Questions

How much does window screen repair cost?

+
Professional window screen repair or rescreening can cost roughly $15 to $120 per screen, depending on the screen size, mesh material, damage, and labor. Replacing the entire screen or installing a custom screen can cost considerably more. See our handyman hourly rate guide for general pricing context, or submit a work order for a scoped quote based on your actual screen count.

Can you repair a screen or does the whole window need replacing?

+
Most window screen problems involve damaged mesh or the screen frame rather than the window itself. Rescreening is usually the more economical option when the frame remains straight and structurally sound. If the frame is bent, cracked, corroded, or badly damaged, replacing the entire screen may make more sense. Damage to the actual window, track, or sash is a separate repair.

What mesh types are available?

+
Standard fiberglass mesh covers most jobs. Pet-resistant mesh is a heavier-gauge option for units with dogs or cats that scratch at screens, while solar mesh can reduce heat and glare while maintaining airflow. Mesh selection can be included in the work order scope.

Can screen repair be done across multiple units at once?

+
Yes. Batching screen repairs across multiple units on one property into a single work order is common and typically more efficient than dispatching separately for each unit.

What is the re-dispatch guarantee?

+
If a scheduled visit doesn’t happen within the window or the repair isn’t completed to the approved scope, the job is re-dispatched at no additional coordination cost. You are not left managing follow-up.

Does Ace Hardware rescreen window screens?

+
Some Ace Hardware locations offer window-screen repair and rescreening, but services vary by store because Ace locations are independently operated. Contact the local store to confirm whether it offers screen repair and whether you need to bring in the existing screen frame.

How much does Home Depot charge to repair screens?

+
Home Depot does not publish a single nationwide price for window-screen repair. Its Pro Referral service connects customers with professionals who repair and replace window and door screens, while screen-repair materials and kits are also available for DIY projects. Pricing varies by project and location.

Is it cheaper to repair a window screen or replace it?

+
Rescreening is usually cheaper when the existing frame is still in good condition. Replacing the entire screen makes more sense when the frame is bent, cracked, corroded, or badly damaged. For inexpensive standard screens, compare the cost of rescreening with a replacement because a new screen can sometimes cost less than professional repair.
