How the $145 minimum works
We are mobile-only: every job is measured, built and installed at your home. Our prices include coming to you, and a visit has a $145 minimum. If the work adds up to less, the visit is $145. If it adds up to more, you pay the total. That is why it pays to do every screen that needs work in the same visit.
| Job | Math | You pay |
|---|---|---|
| One standard window rescreen | $45, under the minimum | $145 |
| Three standard window rescreens | 3 × $45 = $135, under the minimum | $145 |
| Four standard window rescreens | 4 × $45 | $180 |
| Sliding door rescreen + two window rescreens | $95 + 2 × $45 | $185 |
| Sliding door rescreen in pet mesh + three window rescreens | ($95 + $40) + 3 × $45 | $270 |
| Ten window rescreens + a sliding door rescreen | 10 × $45 + $95 | $545 |
What changes the price
- The kind of window screen. $45 and $55 are for standard screens that pop in and out of a flat frame. Double-hung, casement, pull-pin and other non-standard window screens are priced differently. Not sure which you have? See which window screen do I have.
- Rescreen or new frame. If the frame is straight and solid, a rescreen is the better deal. If it is bent or corroded, a new standard window screen is only $10 more.
- The mesh. Standard fiberglass is included. Pet-resistant, solar and UltraVue each add +$20 per window screen or +$40 per door screen. The mesh guide explains which goes where.
- The size of a new sliding door. New sliding screen doors start at $329; bigger openings cost more.
- Doors that are ordered. Security doors are made to order for your opening, so they are measured and quoted at your home.
Door by door
Sliding screen doors. Most sliding door trouble is rollers, track or mesh. A rescreen is $95, roller and track fixes are quoted flat (usually $45 to $95), and a new door starts at $329 if the frame is past saving. All of it is done in one visit. If yours keeps jumping the track, start with why a screen door comes off its track.
Swinging screen doors. A new swinging screen door is $599 installed with hardware. We measure, then your door arrives in about a week and we install it.
Retractable screen doors. A Roll Away is $699 for a single door and $1,299 for a French door set, installed. Our retractable screen door cost guide covers what is included and how brands differ.
Security screen doors. Tru-View security doors are built to order for your opening, so the price depends on size, style, color and hardware. We measure and quote at your home; the security door cost guide explains what drives the number.
Doing it yourself vs. calling us
You can rescreen a window yourself with a roll of mesh, spline and a roller from the hardware store, and on a simple screen it can go fine. Where it gets harder: getting the mesh tight without wrinkles, cutting a new frame square, and big door screens. We bring the materials and the tools, do the work at your home, and stand behind it with no time limit on our workmanship.
How quotes work
Call or text us and we can usually price standard work on the phone. A photo by text helps with doors and odd-sized screens. We'll call you back within 1 business day. Most visits are booked within two weeks, often sooner in winter. If your tech finds something at the house that changes the price, such as a double-hung screen, he tells you before he starts.
Estimates are free. Screens and repairs are paid for when the work is done, by card, cash, check or a payment app, with no card fee.
