Here’s something most homeowners don’t realize until they ask: when a window screen is torn, sagging, or shredded by a pet, you almost never need a new screen. The aluminum frame — the expensive part — is usually fine. What failed is the mesh, and mesh can be replaced right at your home in minutes.
That’s the service Dr Squeegee’s brings to driveways across Hyrum, Logan, Smithfield, Providence, Hyde Park, Wellsville, and Paradise: on-site rescreening, starting at $60.
Repair vs. replace: the honest math
| Option | Typical cost | When it makes sense |
|---|---|---|
| Rescreening your existing frame | $35–$65 per screen | Torn/stretched mesh, frame intact — the vast majority of cases |
| Full screen replacement | 2–3× the cost | Bent, cracked, or corroded frames |
| Big-box store rescreening | $20–$40 per screen | …plus removing every screen, hauling them across the valley, and two trips |
Rescreening an intact frame is significantly cheaper than replacing the unit — and because we come to you, there’s no loading screens into the back of the SUV and hoping they come back the right sizes.
Two mesh options, chosen for how you actually live
- Durable fiberglass mesh — the standard for most homes: tight weave against Cache Valley’s summer insects, good airflow, doesn’t dent or crease like cheap aluminum mesh.
- Heavy-duty pet screen — roughly seven times stronger, woven for households where a dog hits the back slider at full speed or a cat treats screens as climbing equipment. If you’ve rescreened the same door twice, this is the fix that makes it the last time.
Our technician rebuilds each screen on-site: old mesh out, frame checked and squared, new mesh rolled in with fresh spline, edges trimmed clean. A typical set of screens takes just a few hours, all in one visit.
Why spring is screen season
Utah searches for screen replacement jump every March through June — the month everyone opens their windows for the first time and discovers what winter, UV, and last summer’s dog did to the mesh. Getting screens done in early spring means they’re ready the first warm evening you want a cross-breeze instead of air conditioning.
It’s also the perfect pairing: screens come off anyway during a professional window cleaning, so bundling the two saves a visit and 10% on the added service. Add hard water stain removal and your whole window system — glass, screens, sills — is genuinely like new.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the average price to replace a window screen? Rescreening runs $35–$65 per screen in our area. Our service starts at $60 per visit, with multi-screen jobs priced per screen.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace? Repair, almost always. New mesh on your existing frame costs a fraction of a new screen unit.
How long does it take? A typical home’s screens are done in a few hours, on-site, in one visit.
How should I prepare? If you can, pop out the damaged screens and set them somewhere accessible outside. (If not, we’ll remove them ourselves — put the dog away and unlock the gate.)
