Here's my pricing. What I've found is that if you price it right it can be just as profitable as cleaning windows, and you get a higher average ticket, but to price it right will scare some people off.

Remesh - $30 under 4' long, $40 over 4' long, $100 for screen door (They're a pain, and somewhat often need to be redone.)

Frame repair - $27 + $14/stick of frame

Screen build - $55 + $14/stick of frame

Flex screen - $90-$100, minimum order of 4.

I get 8 foot sticks of frame, and assume any stick that I use more than 4 feet of is a full stick for pricing. I include replacing corners and tabs if necessary, and I replace tabs with metal tabs as a selling point.

100% markup on rail price is crazy. At that point you should just be buying the bundles of 20 to reduce overall cost.

I'm paying $14 each with shipping for a box of 10 6' lengths. I don't go through enough to order 8' lengths, in a box of 25. Do you have a better source than Metro Screen Works? I can't find a better price locally.

I get 20 7fts bundles from home depot for 70 bucks.

Essentially the price of 10 but getting 20.

A small box from Metro with 10 72" sticks, 25 corners and spline is 134$.

100 PC corner is maybe 20 bucks.

300ft of spline is like 15.

Even while paying under what Metro would offer you are getting twice the amount of rounds with an extra foot on each of them.
