Selecting the Correct Replacement Spline
Our technician measures the existing spline diameter and the frame channel before selecting replacement spline. Those two measurements guide the material choice for the frame in front of us.
Positioning the Replacement Mesh
We lay the replacement mesh over the frame with approximately one-half inch of overlap on each side. The overlap provides working material around the full perimeter during the repair.
Tools We Bring to the Job
Our screen-repair equipment includes a staple remover and a telescoping A-frame ladder. The ladder gives us access to elevated windows while the staple remover is available when old fasteners must be removed.
Fiberglass Screen Kit Cost
A 36-inch by 84-inch fiberglass screen repair kit costs about $10 to $11. That is the kit cost, not a complete project estimate. The scope of the requested repair must be reviewed separately.
Jupiter Requirements for Screen Enclosures
Jupiter currently uses the eighth edition of the Florida Building Code along with town amendments. Screen-enclosure repairs and replacements must be checked against that adopted code rather than an older permit standard.
For screen-enclosure submittals, Jupiter requires a survey showing the enclosure location and setbacks, signed and sealed aluminum plans or product approval, drainage certification, and subcontractor permits before work begins.

Questions Jupiter Homeowners Ask
How can I tell whether a screen contractor is reliable and does clean, professional work?
Reliable contractors follow a precise, clean process. They will remove the screen to work on a flat surface, pry out the old spline with a flathead screwdriver, measure the channel, lay new mesh with a half-inch overlap, and roll it taut with a spline roller. Finally, they trim the excess cleanly without cutting the spline.
How much extra might a contractor charge for coming to the house instead of having me drop the screens off?
Mobile screen services save you the hassle of transport but include travel fees to cover gas and vehicle maintenance. While dropping off a frame to be rescreened costs $25 to $75, a home visit will add a service call fee, which varies depending on your distance from their shop.
If a contractor damages my screen, should the contractor pay, should I file an insurance claim, or do I have to pay out of pocket?
If a contractor damages your screen during other home services, they should cover the repair. Filing an insurance claim is rarely practical, as a professional rescreening of an existing frame costs only $25 to $75, and a full replacement is $75 to $300, both of which fall far below standard insurance deductibles.
Is the lowest quote risky if the contractor does not have enough experience to install the screen correctly?
Yes, an inexperienced contractor might overstretch the mesh, causing the frame to bow, or cut the spline during trimming. While rescreening an existing frame is affordable at $25 to $75, hiring a qualified professional ensures the mesh is rolled tautly and securely, saving you from premature replacement costs.
What should I do if a screen repair company schedules an estimate but never shows up or answers the phone?
If a contractor misses an appointment and fails to communicate, it is best to move on to another provider. Reliable screen professionals value your time, provide clear communication, and are transparent about their pricing, whether you need a $20 to $70 spot repair or a full $75 to $300 replacement.
How quickly should a professional screen contractor be able to complete replacement screens?
For standard window and door screens, a professional technician can often complete the work on-site within 15 to 30 minutes per screen. The process involves removing the old spline and mesh, rolling new mesh tautly into the frame channel, and trimming the excess, allowing for fast, same-day service.
