At New York Paint & Hardware, a family-owned shop serving the Upper East Side since 1986, our technicians repair, re-screen and rebuild window and sliding-door screens so they look and function like new. Whether you have one damaged panel or a whole apartment's worth, we've got you covered — and if you are searching for window screen repair in NYC, you are in the right place.
Screen Repair Pricing
Straightforward starting prices, per screen, with the mesh included. Final cost depends on the exact size and the mesh you choose — and we confirm it with you before any work begins.
| Service | From |
|---|---|
| Re-screen or repair a standard window screen | $85 |
| Repair a large screen, such as a screen door | $100 |
| Build a brand-new custom screen from scratch | $120 |
| Typical turnaround | 3–5 days |
What to Expect
- Turnaround is typically 3–5 days. We'll give you a firm date when you drop off or send your details.
- Re-screening assumes the frame is straight and sound. If it's bent, corroded or beyond saving, we'll quote you a new build instead — before we start, not after.
- Bring the old frame if you can. It's the fastest way to get an exact match. A photo plus the rough opening size also works.
- Prices are per screen and include the mesh. A whole apartment's worth is welcome — tell us how many and we'll confirm the total up front.
- Nothing gets quoted after the fact. You'll know the price and the date before we touch the screen.
How a Screen Repair Goes
Need a screen today instead? We also keep ready-made adjustable window screens on the shelf. They slide to fit the width of the opening, so you only need to match the height — no tools required.

How It Works
Bring it in or send a photo
Drop your screen by 1668 1st Ave, or email a photo with rough measurements. One panel or a whole apartment's worth — either is fine.
We repair or build it
We re-mesh your existing frame or build a brand-new custom screen in synthetic or metal mesh — typically ready in about 3–5 days.
Pick up or we deliver
Grab it in store, or get free same-day Manhattan delivery on orders over $100. Your windows are buttoned up and bug-free.
Synthetic vs. Metal Mesh
We offer both synthetic (fiberglass) and metal screen mesh. For most NYC apartments and brownstones we use synthetic mesh — it's flexible, easy on the eyes, and holds up well in city windows. Metal mesh is available when you want extra durability. We also stock tight-weave “no-see-um” mesh for tiny insects and heavier pet-resistant options. Not sure which is right? Bring the screen in and we'll walk you through it.

Window Screen Repair FAQ
Where can I get a window screen repaired on the Upper East Side?
Right here at New York Paint & Hardware, 1668 1st Ave (at E 87th St), in the heart of Yorkville. Bring your screen in or send us a photo and measurements and we'll handle the rest. We serve the entire Upper East Side and all of Manhattan.
How much does window screen repair cost?
Re-screening or repairing a standard window screen starts at $85. A large screen such as a screen door is around $100, and a brand-new custom screen built from scratch starts at $120. Prices are per screen and include the mesh. Final pricing depends on the size and mesh — bring the screen in or send a photo with the frame dimensions and we'll confirm before any work begins.
How long does window screen repair take?
Most screen repairs and new builds are ready in about 3 to 5 days. We'll give you a firm timeline when you drop off or send your details.
What if my frame is bent or beyond repair?
Re-screening assumes the existing frame is straight and sound. If it's bent, corroded or past saving, we'll tell you when you drop off and quote a brand-new build instead — before any work starts, never after.
Do you replace screens or only repair them?
Both. If the mesh is torn but the frame is sound, we re-screen it. If the frame is bent, corroded or beyond saving, we build a brand-new replacement screen cut to your exact opening.
Synthetic or metal screen — which should I get?
For most NYC windows we recommend synthetic (fiberglass) mesh, which is what we use on the majority of jobs. Choose metal mesh when you want extra durability. We'll help you pick based on your windows and how you use the room.
Can you fix aluminum or sliding-door screens?
Yes. We re-mesh and straighten aluminum window frames and repair sliding-door and patio screens, including new spline and corner pieces where needed.
What should I bring or send?
A quick photo of the screen and its frame, plus the rough size of the opening, lets us quote your job faster. If you can, bring the old frame in — it's the easiest way to get an exact match.
Need another in-store service while you're here?
We also offer lamp repair and rewiring, knife sharpening, and custom lumber and wood cutting. See everything on our services page.
