Default Screen Stretching, West Coast?

I have about 30-40 aluminum frames that the mesh has either been ripped, or taken out all together(gotta love employees!). Usually I just replace a screen with a new one, but with this high of a number of screens, and all of them are completely usable frames, I am looking into getting them restretched. Shipping + restretch costs per screen make it unfeesible, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a good screen stretcher that I could deliver the screens to in th Northern California - Northern Nevada area?

Thanks
Sean

Arrow Re: Screen Stretching, West Coast?

Have you thought of doing your own "in house" stretching?

I'm on the hunt for either a manual or pneumatic stretcher (within reason) so I can get some tight mesh on the 35 naked screens that I have in my shop.

Right now I need to take them up north and have someone else do them. At that cost, if I stretched my own screens, I'd save about half.
