- This video goes over each step IN DETAIL. Rescreening a window screen is easy - a total beginner can rescreen and reinstall a window screen in 10 minutes. Follow along with my tutorial and you could save yourself hundreds of dollars swapping your own screens out versus taking them in to the hardware store!
Steps involved:
1. Remove the spline (the nylon cord) from the window screen frame using a screwdriver or other tool. If the spline looks to be in good shape, you can reuse it!
2. Take the old window screen off the frame by pushing on it until it comes off.
3. Roll the new window screen across the frame, leaving at least 2-3 inches on each side. If you don't have at least a couple inches, rolling the new spline is going to end with you having spots where you don't have any screen left! Note: Don't worry about making sure the screen is super tight through this process - it just breaks easier that way.
4. Using your screen tool, use the smooth side to one side of the screen into the groove.
5. Using your screen tool, use the side that forms to the spline (concave side) to force the spline into the groove and then roll the spline into place across the groove along each side, repeating step 5 and 6 for each. Note: GO SLOW the first time you do this and figure out the best method that works for you! If you go to fast, you may break the screen.
7. Using a utility knife, make a 45 degree angle facing AWAY from the center of the screen and cut the excess fiberglass screen material off the frame.
8. Hang it up and give yourself a pat on the back, you did it! See, replacing a window screen is easy. :)

I roll screen in cages and screen rooms professionally. This is a great how to video. I came on it by chance and you did a great job! If you ever need advice shoot me a message and keep up the great vids!
Thank you, Melissa! Nice to see a young woman like yourself showing women and men skills for DIY projects. I watched your video to refresh my memory for a screen I have. 6-7 years ago I replaced all the house screens before selling it. And you have a very pleasing way of presenting. Blessings to you.
Thanks Richard! I'm glad my video was helpful for you.
Very helpful. You explained each step well. I am confident I can do this after watching. Thanks Melissa!
Repainting and re-screening my enclosed porch is on the list so this is the best video yet.
This video was the absolute BEST! I have spent all morning getting the screens too tight and crooked. I should have just stooped after the first screen and gone to You Tube!!! This advise worked great!
Thank you Melissa for a clear and detailed explanation on screen replacement. I especially liked your explanation on the specific purpose of each wheel on the screen/spline roller. Since I never replaced a screen before, I will now be replacing 11 porch screens (5ft X 4ft each) due to the severe weather we recently had in upstate New York. Thanks again for your clear instructions and all the best to you.
Thanks for a good explanation. You spoke clearly, and did not rush like many people do.
Very nicely done, straight forward and easy to follow your instructions. Done this before but wanted a refresher, Thank you.
Melissa, Thank you for sharing this video. Your instructions & tutorial were easy to follow.
Those were very nice tips and instructions on screen replacement, Thank you so very much.
You give me encouragement to tackle home repairs, thank you so very much 🙏🏼
So happy to hear that!
I'm about to replace a screen door screen. Thanks for the tips...😊
I'm about to rescreen 4 windows by myself. Thankyou for your detailed how to.
Thanks. I've been wanting to learn how to do this.
Great video
Job well done
I have eight windows to re-screen
It is so expensive to have them done.
Thank you
Good job Melissa. I love your videos very much.
Very nice Melissa, thank you so much.
Thank you for this!!! We just bought an older home and have a lot of little projects like these to do. I’m definitely going to be looking at your page and seeing what else you can help me with! 😜 #womenhelpingwomen
Excellent tutorial, big thanks, learned a lot 👍

Thanks for sharing, unfortunately my screen frames were poorly sized when our house was built - so I have to enlarge our existing frames with some precise gluing of the corner joints.
Do all window include the netting frame? If not can it be installed? Also how does one remove the window screen from the window?
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Very helpful and thank you. Well done.
Very good
Very helpful, thank you.
Reminds me, I should go to the store and pick up material to replace the screens on a few windows
Yes, just be sure to measure your netting size before you leave for the store! Good luck Lidia!
Very helpful!
Could you please tell me where place to buy material
Sorry for getting so close, but you invited me :)
there's a bad joke somewhere that during the pandemic you're doing your share of screening.
Very good. I feel like I can do it myself now. Thank you
Please don’t use old spline as it hardens and cracks.
Making it harder to remove next time, also once the spline is in there cold, hot, sunlight, it’s molded for the frame, when you put it back in it will never be the same.
She cuts the excess as you can see.
You want screen tight to keep the wind from moving it.
Love the hint of doing a opposite side first to control screen tension. Also spline comes in several sizes. Need to use the right size. Too small doesn't stay in groove. Too large doesn't fit. Right size makes for an easy project
@@jackostergaard4624 Yes, spline does come in different sizes, but the newer foam spline, you can go one size bigger, and it will still fit and keep the screen in tighter.
I never do the opposite side, though; I start at one corner and workaround.
But there is more than one way to skin a cat.
Not only your a hottie , but your also a keeper
You work on every thing .
Hell yeah sweetie , keep them video’s coming
This was very helpful, thank you!
I'm so glad! 😊
