About 30 min – 1 hrs for a standard job, not counting material pickup or a return visit if something unexpected turns up.

Replacing the mesh in a sound frame is inexpensive; a bent or split frame needs corners or spline channel repaired.

Doing several screens in one visit costs much less each than a single screen.

Standard fiberglass mesh is the cheapest; pet-resistant, no-see-um and solar mesh cost more per square foot.

Small job — know the risk
It looks simple on paper, but shut-off valves that won't close, live circuits, and damage hidden behind the wall are what turn a 30-minute job into a much bigger repair bill. At this price point a pro visit is usually cheap enough that most homeowners just book it and move on.
Most homeowners in this range end up hiring out: the price is fixed before work starts, and the pro who does the job stands behind it.
