How We Set Up the Replacement Mesh
For an existing frame, we measure the spline diameter and frame channel before selecting replacement spline. We lay the new mesh over the frame with approximately one-half inch of overlap on each side. Our tools for this work include a flathead screwdriver and utility knife.
Full Screen Replacement Cost
A full screen replacement with a new frame and mesh costs $75 to $300 per screen. This price applies to full replacement rather than mesh replacement in an existing frame.
When the Project Includes Enclosure Changes
Routine screen replacement is different from rebuilding or substantially altering an enclosure. Jupiter’s outdoor conditions include occasional light winter freezes, while seasonal rain and hurricanes create flood threats that can affect homes and pool enclosures near the Loxahatchee River, Jupiter Inlet, and Atlantic Ocean.
Newer FEMA flood maps changed the designation for thousands of Jupiter residents. Before rebuilding or substantially altering an enclosure, verify the property’s current flood zone.

Questions Jupiter Homeowners Ask
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.
Can a badly torn screen be repaired, or does the entire screen need to be replaced, and what will each option cost?
A small tear can often be fixed with a patch or spot repair, which typically costs $20 to $70. However, for badly torn mesh, you will need to rescreen the existing frame, costing between $25 and $75. If the frame itself is also damaged, a full screen replacement with a new frame and mesh ranges from $75 to $300.
Is a quote of roughly $2,000 for a sliding screen and track replacement unreasonable, and should I get other estimates?
While a standard full screen replacement with a new frame and mesh typically ranges from $75 to $300, heavy-duty sliding doors or custom track reconstructions can cost more. To ensure you are getting a fair price, always request detailed, itemized estimates from multiple local contractors to compare labor and material costs before signing.
