Where to buy replacement window screens?

[WatchingThemGrow]

In FL everyone has a screened porch and I replaced the screen SO much due to my dog. It’s not hard or expensive at all. Literally a $3 tool https://www.homedepot.com/p/Barton-K...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

Some spline https://www.homedepot.com/p/Phifer-0...3396/100391170

And the screen https://www.homedepot.com/p/Saint-Go...87-M/204264673

I do see the kit as well, but more $. YouTube it. So very easy!

I’d look at the window brand and see what is on their website

All my windows are Milgard windows and I see nothing on their site about replacement screens.

Is there an Ace Hardware near you? That’s where we get this done. I just pop the screen out and leave it with them and they replace the mesh part. Takes a few days but it’s cheap.

Yes, there's a tiny Ace Hardware nearby, I'll see if they do it.

Yes to this. It's so much cheaper and pretty easy to do your own.

This may work with the screens that just need the mesh replaced, but I have at least 2 screens with broken frames so the entire thing needs replacement.

We had Milgard windows with bent frames and Ace did a great job. Honestly it is probably easier to just have ACE do all of your screens at once because then you don’t have to buy the screen and other supplies. I hate clutter and keeping random things you will only use every so often in the garage.

I called the little Ace Hardware down the street from me today and they said they replace the mesh and also can make new frames. I think I'm just going to take every single one of my screens to them! The valley sun literally destroys everything and I can tell some of my screens would rip with just the slightest touch from heat damage.

That’s awesome! Tell us how much they charge per screen! Glad you found a way to get them repaired!

Ours were about $20 per screen iirc. I think it depends on the size of your windows though. Ours were not big.

So I took 10 out of our 12 screens in today. Out of 10 only 4 are just getting the screen part replaced. The other 6 need new frames, pull tabs, and tension springs. And the 2 biggest screens are getting pet proof screening to protect against crazy squirrels. All in all it was $275 + tax. So yes, Annie is right, around $20 to just replace the screen. The cost does depend on sizing and I have 3 different sizes. It should take 3-5 days they said.

That sounds about right. I had our screens replaced and a few frame made about 8 years ago. God to know Ace does it
