How do you get a screen door “re-screened”?

The door to my beck porch.
Still a good door and matches.
But my kids hands have gone through the screens by the handle in attempts to get out quickly.
Can I detach the entire door and bring it to an Ace or Home Depot and pay them to rescreen it? Or is it more like go on Facebook and look for a local handyman???
Thank you

Post a picture.
If the screen is pressed into a channel it's easy. You need to completely remove the old screen. There's a piece of rubber pressed in the channel holding the screen in. You remove that and the screen will come out.
Buy new mesh and the screen install tool. Has a wheel with a groove in it you use to push a new piece of rubber into the channel. There's YouTube videos of how to do it.
If the mesh is held in place between 2 pieces of wood, like a glass pane, you probably need a new door.

A good friend owns Screen Shop of Baton Rouge. They could probably do it.

Re-screening is often a simple DIY project if you buy the kit, but a local handyman might be quicker if you want to avoid the hassle.

Easy to replace the hard part is getting it tight
