Window Screen Repair: Fixing Tears and Holes
A torn or damaged window screen can let in pesky insects and detract from your home's appearance. The good news is that most screen repairs are simple and inexpensive DIY projects that you can complete in under an hour. Whether you have a small hole or need to replace the entire screen, here’s how to do it.
🩹 Method 1: Patching a Small Hole
For tiny holes or tears, a simple patch is the quickest fix.
🔧 Method 2: Replacing the Entire Screen Mesh
For large tears or old, brittle screens, replacing the entire mesh is the best solution. You'll need a roll of new screen material and a tool called a spline roller.
When installing the new screen, pull it taut but not too tight. Over-tightening can cause the frame to bow or warp.
