Not the Galaxy S4 in particular, but I have changed screens on a few different devices.
First thing, is it the screen on top (digitizer) or the LCD underneath that's broken. Meaning, can you still see the screen when the phone is on (digitizer issue), or it is all black (LCD issue).
If it's a digitizer issue, you can probably do the replacement yourself without too much hassle.
Tips:
Let me know if you have any other specific questions.
Samsung phones are fairly expensive to repair. You can buy a screen off hcqs.cc for a lot cheaper than a repair shop would charge you and if you have someone who is good at DIY you could ask them to do it for you. There's plenty of videos on YouTube explaining how to do it. I would also suggest investing in a good sturdy case :)
