Is this the right service for you?

• A torn, punctured, or sagging screen mesh, often from a pet, a storm, or just age
• A bent or dented screen frame that no longer sits flush in the track
• A screen that’s popped out of its frame at the corners
• Wanting to swap standard mesh for a pet-resistant or solar screen upgrade
• Multiple screens around the house in different states of wear

This is one of three narrow, single-issue window services we offer, alongside window trim repair and window caulking, and it’s common for a homeowner to need more than one at once. Here’s how to tell them apart: if the mesh itself is torn, punctured, or sagging, or the frame is bent, that’s screen repair. If the wood or composite trim around the window (the casing, sill, or apron) is cracked, soft, or peeling paint, that’s trim repair. If you’re feeling a draft or seeing a gap where the window frame meets the wall or glass, that’s caulking. If you’re not sure which applies, our window consultation can sort it out, or just describe what you’re seeing in the Estimate Builder and we’ll point you the right direction.

How pricing works

Window screen repair is priced by the screen, based on whether the mesh needs replacing, the frame needs straightening or replacing, or both. Simple mesh rescreening in a sound frame is the most straightforward job. A bent or broken frame, a nonstandard size, or an upgrade to pet-resistant or solar mesh adds cost. For general market context only, and not a Transit & Flow quote, Angi’s 2026 cost data shows window screen repair typically running $20 to $70 per screen, with full screen replacement averaging around $322 and ranging roughly $147 to $523 depending on size and mesh type.

Why this matters for Central Ohio households

Central Ohio’s four real seasons put screens through a lot: pollen-heavy spring winds, humid summer afternoons that leave screens damp and prone to mildew streaking, and fall storms that can bend a frame or tear mesh in one gust. Homes near mature tree canopy in Clintonville, Bexley, and Upper Arlington see more debris damage than newer subdivisions, while households with pets in any neighborhood tend to wear through standard mesh faster than average, which is why pet-resistant screen material has become a popular upgrade during rescreening rather than a like-for-like replacement.

Screens also age unevenly around a single house. A window that gets direct afternoon sun tends to see mesh go brittle years before a shaded window on the north side of the same home, and a screen near a patio door that gets opened and closed constantly wears at the corners faster than one that rarely moves. That’s part of why we price and inspect screen by screen rather than assuming every window in the house needs the same fix. Many Central Ohio households find it makes sense to bundle a whole-house screen check into spring cleaning, catching small tears and loose corners before they turn into missing screens by midsummer, when the bugs and pollen are at their worst and you actually want the windows open.

What’s included, in more detail

Every screen we touch gets pulled from its track, checked at all four corners and along the spline groove where mesh most often lets go first, and matched against the window opening to confirm the frame still fits cleanly. If a frame is bent enough that it no longer sits flush, we can often straighten aluminum frames in place rather than replacing the whole assembly, which keeps cost down when the mesh itself is still in decent shape.

Our process

1. Describe your screens online or by phone. Use the Estimate Builder or call (614) 382-0000 with a count and, if helpful, photos.
2. Assessment. We check each screen’s frame and mesh condition, either on site or from the photos you send.
3. Written scope. You get a per-screen price before work begins. Final scope and price subject to verification here.
4. Repair or rescreen. We rescreen, straighten frames, or replace frames as needed.
5. Fit check. Every screen goes back into its track and gets checked for a clean, secure fit.
