Securing loose wooden frames
When a wooden screen frame has loose joints, we reinforce them as needed before completing the screen. Depending on the joint, we use fasteners, angle plates, or screws to secure it.
Installing the new screen
We secure the new mesh with screen spline and a spline roller. Once the screen is complete, we reinstall it in the window or door track and check that it fits securely.
Jupiter’s annual humidity is in the low seventies, so we use corrosion-resistant fasteners and seal aluminum screen work carefully. Around screen enclosures, seasonal moisture cycles can move soil and stress foundations. Jupiter-series ground can also have a seasonal high water table within roughly a foot of the surface and may pond for days or weeks in undrained areas, leaving post holes, slab edges, and nearby drainage wet during the rainy season.
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 work that keeps the existing frame.

Some of what that looks like in the field:
- After all four sides are secured, the technician trims excess mesh with a utility knife or scissors without cutting into the spline.

Questions Jupiter Homeowners Ask
Should the contractor inspect the door track and frame as well as replace the mesh, so an underlying problem is not missed?
Yes. A professional contractor should always inspect the frame and track. If the frame is bent or the track is damaged, simply replacing the mesh will not solve your operational issues. In those cases, you will need a full screen replacement with a new frame, which typically costs $75 to $300.
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.
