Rescreening vs. replacement

Do you need new mesh—or a completely new window screen?

If the frame is straight, square and still fits correctly, replacing only the mesh can be the economical choice. If the frame itself is damaged, missing or no longer fits, a complete custom replacement solves the whole problem.

Quick decision

Look at the frame before you decide.

Rescreen the existing frame when…

  • The frame is straight and square.
  • The corners are tight.
  • The frame still fits the window correctly.
  • The problem is primarily torn, loose or worn mesh.
  • You are comfortable taking the frame to a local rescreening provider.

Screens 702 does not provide this service.

Replace the complete screen when…

  • The frame is bent or twisted.
  • The corners are damaged or loose.
  • The screen is missing entirely.
  • The profile no longer fits correctly.
  • You want a different frame, mesh or hardware configuration.

Why full replacement

A new frame lets you solve more than a tear in the mesh.

Restore the shape

A replacement is fabricated as a complete new screen rather than stretching new mesh into a frame that may already be bowed or damaged.

Match the profile

Select the frame profile and color that match the window rather than automatically reusing the old frame.

Choose the right mesh

Use standard fiberglass, pet-resistant mesh or solar-control material based on the opening and your priorities.

Replace hardware

Specify springs, pull tabs, clips, plungers and their location as part of the new screen configuration.

Las Vegas use case

Missing and damaged frames are where online replacement is most useful.

A service-call model makes sense when someone needs a technician to measure or install. Screens 702 is designed for customers who can identify the needed finished size and configuration themselves and want a complete replacement delivered locally.

Common questions

Before replacing the whole screen.

What is rescreening?

Rescreening removes the old mesh and spline from an existing frame and installs new mesh while reusing the frame.

When should I replace the whole screen?

A complete replacement makes more sense when the frame is missing, bent, cracked, badly corroded, out of square or no longer fits the window correctly.

Does Screens 702 rescreen old frames?

No. Screens 702 sells complete custom replacement window screens and patio screen doors with new frames.

Can I replace a screen even if the old one is missing?

Yes, but determining the correct finished size and frame profile can require more care when there is no correctly fitting screen to copy.
