DIY or hire
Sliding and hinged screen doors are straightforward DIY jobs: a hinged door needs a level, a drill, and about an hour, and a sliding screen just sets into a track. Retractable and garage screen doors have spring systems and take real patience to align. Home Depot’s sliding screen door section shows current prices (plain link, not affiliate).1,3
