Do you need to repair any screens around your house?

It’s really easy.  You need to measure the width and length of the area/areas to be re-screened.   Purchase the correct width and cut a piece long enough with some extra for  some extra “give”.

You need to get spline and a Screen tool.  It is best if you have 2 people for this job.  One who can hold the screen up -STRAIGHT (for a long time with out your arms going totally numb–Yeah that was my job while Prince Charming did the spline.) while the other person pushes the spline into place. Keep a steady hand so you don’t slice the screen open.

It only cost between $15 and $20 to repair a screen door.  We did 2 screen doors (top to bottom on both ) and it was under $30

How much does something like this cost? I had to have my back door re-screened and it cost me $30. Just wondering how much I could save doing it myself.

It was between $15 and $20. I will add that to the information.
