Of course...

Wood? Take off trim, remove staples or tacks holding screen, fasten on new
screen, put back trim.

Aluminum? Pull out rubber spline, pull off old screen, lay new screen (an
inch or two over size) over frame, roll in spline on one side while keeping
screen smooth (you need a spline roller), roll in spline on opposite and
perpendicular sides, use razor blade to cut off excess screen. Don't try to
stretch the screen while inserting spline - let the spline pull it taut -
else you may deform the frame.
