I would suggest looking up some information about this online. Re-screening is actually a fairly simple process. As long as you have the right tools, and the screen it is often accomplished in less then 1/2 hour... even first timers tend to get decent results.

Boulia Gorrell Lumber Co. has a shop and they do screening. They are located on Fair St in Laconia across the street from the Laconia Citizen right on the river. Phone number is 524-1300.

Rescreening
Go to Pemi Glass in Meredith. I think they do excellent work.

Go local...
I also recommend Boulia Gorrell. They have 2 skilled craftsmen working in their workshop. They have several different types / finishes of screening including one that is supposed to be pet-proof.
You should also try Trustworthy Hardware in Lakeport. If you are just a little bit handy, you could do it yourself. I have done both aluminum framed screens and wooden screen doors over the years. Good luck, |

S/S again...
I replaced my wood screen door aluminum screen with a heavy-duty stainless steel screen. Neither mosquitoes nor two golden retrievers could go through it. The screening material cost $60, but the screen won't have to be replaced again—any time soon.

easy enough to do yourself
I just rebuilt a screened in (16X16) porch and was amazed at just how easy it was.
The only mistake I made was not getting thick enough spline material the first time. I’d recommend the much thicker pet screen; metal screen is ok but much harder to work with. I cannot recommend anyone as I tend not to spend money when I can do it myself. I's amazing what you can learn from watching other contractors. Rebuilt my porch replacing decking, posts and screen. Everything but the roof. I helped a builder replacing windows, now I don't have to pay someone to replace mine. They are on the schedule for next month. |

Ash Hardware, Ashland NH, Exit 24, charged me about 22-dollars to redo a 34" x 78" wood framed, screen door with aluminum screen, and it took three days.
