If you’ve noticed a tear in your window screen or your door screen has seen better days, you’re probably wondering: how much does window screen repair cost? It’s one of the most common questions we hear at Mobile Screens Etc., and the honest answer is — it depends on a few things, but it’s almost certainly more affordable than you think.
We’ve been repairing and replacing screens across the Portland metro area since 1995, so we’ve seen just about every type of screen issue out there. In this guide, we’ll break down real screen repair prices in Portland for 2026 so you can budget with confidence before you call.
Window Screen Repair and Rescreening Costs
Basic window screen repair is one of the most budget-friendly home maintenance tasks you can tackle. For a standard-sized window screen that needs new mesh, you’re typically looking at $25 to $50 per screen. That covers removing the old screen material, installing fresh mesh, and replacing the spline that holds everything in place.
A few things can push the price toward the higher end of that range:
- Larger windows — oversized screens require more material and more labor time
- Pet-resistant screen — heavier-duty mesh designed to stand up to dogs and cats costs a bit more than standard fiberglass
- Frame repairs — if the aluminum frame is bent, cracked, or corroded, it may need to be straightened or replaced along with the mesh
For most homes in Tigard, Beaverton, and Lake Oswego, a handful of rescreened windows will run somewhere between $100 and $250 total — a small price to keep bugs out and fresh air flowing all summer.
Custom Window Screen Costs
Not every window is a standard size. Older homes, specialty windows, and non-standard frames often need custom-built screens ranging from $50 to $150 each. Custom screens are built from scratch to fit your exact window opening, which means precise measurements and fabrication.
You might need a custom screen if:
- Your home was built before the 1970s and has non-standard window sizes
- You have arched, circular, or unusually shaped windows
- The original screens are long gone and no replacement parts are available
- You want an upgrade to solar screen material for UV protection and energy savings
Custom work is where experience really matters. A screen that doesn’t fit properly will pop out, sag, or let insects through the gaps. With over 25 years of experience, we measure and build screens that fit right the first time.
Door Screen Repair and Replacement Costs
Door screens take more abuse than window screens. Between kids, pets, foot traffic, and wind, sliding screen doors and hinged screen doors wear out faster. Door screen repair typically costs between $75 and $200, depending on what’s needed.
Here’s how that breaks down:
- Rescreening an existing door frame: $75–$120 — the frame is in good shape, just the mesh needs replacing
- Roller and track repair: $50–$100 — sliding doors that stick or jump off the track often need new rollers or track adjustments
- Full sliding screen door replacement: $150–$200 — when the frame is too damaged or warped to save, a new door is the better investment
We work on all major brands of patio and sliding doors. Whether you’re in Sherwood, Hillsboro, or Tualatin, we bring everything we need in our service vehicle and handle the repair on site — no need to remove your door and haul it to a shop.
Patio Enclosure and Screen Room Costs
Patio screen enclosures are a bigger project, and pricing reflects the additional materials and labor involved. Most patio enclosure screen work starts at $500 and goes up from there, depending on the size of the space and the type of screening system.
Common patio screen projects include:
- Rescreening an existing patio enclosure: $500–$1,200 — replacing worn or damaged mesh panels in a structure that’s still solid
- Partial panel replacement: $150–$400 — when only a section or two needs attention
- Screen room upgrades: $1,000+ — upgrading mesh type, adding pet-resistant panels, or converting to solar screen for shade
If you have a covered patio or deck and want to enjoy it without mosquitoes and flies, a screen enclosure is one of the best investments for outdoor living in the Pacific Northwest. Portland’s mild summers are perfect for screened-in patios — you get the fresh air without the bugs.
What Factors Affect Screen Repair Price?
When you’re comparing screen repair prices in Portland, it helps to understand what drives the final number. Here are the main factors:
Screen Material
Standard fiberglass mesh is the most affordable option. Pet-resistant screen, solar screen, fine mesh (for tiny insects), and aluminum screen all cost more per square foot. The material you choose has the biggest impact on price after size.
Size and Quantity
Bigger screens cost more, but here’s the good news — doing multiple screens at once is more cost-effective per screen. If you have five or six windows that need rescreening, the per-unit cost drops because setup time is shared across all of them.
Frame Condition
If the frame is solid, you’re just paying for new mesh and labor. If the frame needs repair or full replacement, that adds to the cost. We always inspect frames before quoting so there are no surprises.
Standard vs. Custom
Standard sizes are quicker to produce and less expensive. Custom screens require exact measurements and individual fabrication, which takes more time and skill.
Accessibility
Second-story screens or screens in hard-to-reach locations may require additional time. Ground-floor, easy-access screens are the most straightforward to service.
