I was looking at using these retractable screens for my casement windows:

RW31ALM - CRL Almond 31" Retractable Window Screen


I bought a pair set of their retractable screen doors for my french doors onto my deck, have yet to install them.

My wife gets them through her work account, but Home Depot might have something similar.

I just ordered windows from Centra and they come with screens, I'm sure you can order just the screens through them as well. Home Depot should have a contractor they use for screens also.

I went with Suno Window Coverings. Talk to Lucy. VERY reasonable, VERY good work. She does the work herself. 778-861-6688

Thanks guys! I've sent them an email asking for quotes! It's getting hot here and having the windows opened without flies coming in would be terrific! I guess it'll be in the ballpark of $200 each screen?

I called Stephen from lam windows his labour was 120 and 40 windows and 185 door. He seemed to be around pricier side as I called around. Was gonna go with place called jcwindow was 60 labour, 160 for heavy duty door and 30 window.

But then my coworker gave me a number to a guy he used. Not sure if he has a company name but he coming over in few hours quoted me 60 labour, 20 for small window 25 big window and 100 for door. I dont know how the quality compares but will find out soon

it's around 40 for single handle and 50 for double handle

you can negotiate a little with lucy.

i was able to negotiate her down for a pretty good deal compared to most people i called on this thread.

Also used Lams window recently on my new place, easy to deal with and happy with the product.

1 balcony slider screen
2 bathroom window screens (small window)
3 fairly standard bedroom window screens
1 living room screen

Came to like $480 or so.
