Who has an idea on how much it costs to buy a window screen?

Question

I'm missing some of those for my windows and I need to fix them or the flies would come in. Thank you!!

Answer 1

If you still have the frames, and if they have an indented track running all the way around on the side that faces outdoors, follow bc's advice.

I just bought one of the roller tools at our local Wal*Mart for $2.50-ish. You can buy rolls of screen (avoid the metal -- harder to work with) for around $6-$8 and the roll would be enough for probably around 4 windows give or take. I believe a package of the tubing/splicing stuff bc talked about that you have to roll into the indented track is also around $2-$3 for a package that might do about two windows. (One package for me was recently exactly enough to re-screen a screen door.) Suggestion: buy tubing/splicing stuff just a bit bigger than you think you need. If it's too loose in track, it will not hold the screen in.

YMMV based on size of windows!

If you don't have any frames for screens, hmmmm, I don't know about that!

Good luck!

Answer 2

There is a tool with a roller on each end.  One end is for putting a groove in the screen as you push it into the channel.  The other is for the rubber spline that keeps the screen in the frame.  The spline comes in different sizes.  I think there is also a universal-multi size one on the market.  There are different screens as well.  Metal and nylon.  Metal is stiffer and easier to damage if you run the roller off track.  When you start the project leave extra overhang and trim carefully after all the spline is installed.

Answer 3

I don't know where you are or the sizes, but I just got 2 estimates for a 20"x20" screen, and they were $32 and $41.

Answer 4

7 to 10 bucks go to home depot

Answer 5

go to ur local hardware store  they should have a kit with all  the stuff u need.. than u can cut  it to the size u need and replace it  maybe 10 to 15$  but u will have lots left over to do more windows when ever u need to.
