Thinking about fixing your window or door screens yourself? It might seem like a simple weekend project — but is it really worth the time, effort, and tools?
Let’s take a look at the difference between DIY screen repair and hiring a mobile screen repair service like Screen Me.
🧰 Doing It Yourself (DIY)
You can buy screen repair kits at the hardware store. These usually include screen mesh, a rubber spline, and a little tool to press the screen into place. Sounds easy, right?
But here’s what most people don’t expect:
The frame might bend or break when you try to remove the old screen
It’s hard to get the screen tight and wrinkle-free
You’ll need to cut the mesh to the exact size

If you make a mistake, you’ll have to start over
You may still end up with screens that don’t fit right
DIY can work if you’re handy, patient, and only fixing one or two screens. But for most people, it turns into a frustrating project.

Custom-fit screens made right in your driveway
