If your window screens are faded, torn, brittle, or no longer doing their job, you may not need to replace the entire window. In many cases, the existing frames can be reused and the screen material can simply be replaced.
For homeowners in Weatherford, Aledo, Willow Park, Hudson Oaks, and surrounding Parker County communities, solar screen replacement can be a cost-effective way to restore damaged screens while improving protection from the intense Texas sun.
Kuykendall Contracting provides custom solar screen and window screen replacement for homeowners who need damaged or deteriorated screen material replaced.
How Much Does Solar Screen Replacement Cost?
The cost of replacing solar screen material depends primarily on the number and size of the screens, the type of material being installed, and the amount of labor required.
For smaller projects, the cost may be relatively straightforward. Larger projects involving numerous windows require more material, preparation, cutting, installation, and finishing.
As an example, Kuykendall Contracting recently completed a project involving seven window screens, with the customer paying approximately $800 for the screen replacement work.
Every project is different, however, so I provide quotes based on the actual number and dimensions of the screens rather than using a one-size-fits-all price.
If you have several damaged screens, it can also make sense to have them replaced as one project rather than repairing them individually over time.
Do You Need New Window Frames?
Not necessarily.
One of the first things I look at when quoting a screen replacement project is whether the existing frames are still usable.
If the frames are structurally sound, there is often no reason to replace them. The old screen material can be removed and new material installed into the existing frames.
That can save a homeowner considerably compared with replacing the entire screen assembly.
However, if a frame is bent, badly damaged, corroded, or otherwise unable to properly hold the new screen material, replacement may be the better option.
The goal is to replace what actually needs replacing — not sell you something you don't need.
Why Replace Your Screens With Solar Screen Material?
Standard insect screen keeps bugs out, but solar screen is designed to do more.
The heavier woven material can help reduce the amount of direct sunlight entering through the window while still allowing you to see through the screen.
That's particularly useful here in Texas, where windows can receive intense sunlight for much of the year.
Solar screens can be a good option for homeowners who are dealing with:
Excessive sunlight through certain windows
Faded furniture or flooring near sunny windows
Damaged or brittle screen material
Torn screens
Insect problems
Rooms that receive significant afternoon sun
Older screens that have deteriorated over time
Screens that simply need to be refreshed without replacing the entire window
The right material depends on the application, so I can help determine what makes sense for your project.
Why Replace the Screen Instead of the Entire Window?
A damaged screen doesn't automatically mean the window itself needs attention.
The window, frame, glass, and operating components may still be perfectly functional.
If the screen is the only problem, replacing the screen material can be a much more economical solution.
This is especially important when you have several damaged screens around the house. Replacing seven or ten screens is a very different project from replacing seven or ten complete windows.
Before spending thousands of dollars on unnecessary window replacements, it's worth determining whether the existing windows and screen frames can simply be repaired.
What Does the Screen Replacement Process Look Like?
Every project is slightly different, but the basic process typically involves:
1. Measuring the Screens
I need the dimensions and quantity of the screens to determine the amount of material required and provide an accurate quote.
For larger projects, getting accurate measurements is especially important because the screens are custom-sized.
2. Removing the Old Screen Material
The existing screen material is removed from the frame so the frame can be inspected and prepared for the new material.
3. Inspecting the Frames
This is an important step.
If the frame is damaged, bent, or otherwise unsuitable for reuse, I'll identify that before installing new material.
If the frame is still in good condition, there's no reason to replace it simply because the screen material is worn out.
4. Installing the New Screen Material
The new material is cut and installed into the existing frame, properly tensioned and secured.
5. Finishing the Screen
The excess material is trimmed and the finished screen is checked to make sure it fits properly and is ready to go back into the window.
The finished product should look like a properly manufactured screen — not a temporary patch.
How Long Does Screen Replacement Take?
The amount of time required depends heavily on the number and size of the screens.
Replacing one or two screens is obviously a much smaller project than replacing every screen around a home.
Larger projects can involve several hours of work between removing the old material, preparing the frames, cutting the new material, installing it, and finishing each screen.
If you have multiple damaged screens, I can quote the entire project so you know the cost before the work begins.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Screens?
If the screen material is simply torn or deteriorated while the frame remains in good condition, replacement is usually the logical choice.
If the frame itself is damaged, replacement of the entire screen assembly may make more sense.
There are also situations where a homeowner may only need one or two screens repaired.
The important thing is to look at the condition of the entire screen rather than automatically assuming everything needs to be replaced.
