Window and door screens play an important role in your home—they allow fresh air to come in and keep bugs and debris out. Whether your screens are showing signs of age or you’re looking to install more efficient screens, these screen door questions can help you and your installer or repair pro restore your doors or windows to perfect condition.
1. When do you need this work done?
Chances are if you’re repairing or installing a window or door screen, you need it done sooner than later to avoid letting bugs in or compromising the temperature of the air inside your home. You may want to identify whether this is an immediate need or one that can wait a few days, since some window or door screen companies may have to fit you into a tight schedule, especially during harsh seasons like summer or winter. The more specific you can be about when you need your door or window screen installed or repaired, the better.
2. What kind of screen project is this?
A full-scale installation that requires every screen to be replaced versus a small hole in a door screen that needs to be repaired will make a big difference in your budget, who you hire to complete the job, and how long it takes for the repair or installation to be done. Have a list of exactly what you need done and what your expectations are so your local screen installation pro can let you know if they can make it happen.
3. What screen problems need repair?
Maybe your entire screen popped out, or a few screens have holes and tears that need to be repaired. Or, maybe the screen frame has bent or the door frames have rusted over time. Take photos of the issues you need addressed and make sure the window company or repair person you’re consulting with can see the problems you’re dealing with. This will allow them to give you an estimate for cost and timeframe and know exactly what tools or supplies they’ll need to get the job done.
4. How many doors or windows will need screens?
A single door or window screen repair or installation may be a job for your local handyman, whereas an entire home’s worth of screens is better suited for a larger window company that has the staff to tackle the project in a day or two. Either way, have an exact figure in mind so there are no surprises on repair or installation day.
5. What kind of screening do you need?
You may be surprised how many different types of door or window screens are available for your home. There are the more commonly used materials, such as fiberglass and aluminum, and then there are the rarer screen types, like solar or polyester. Know which type you currently have and whether you want to stick with that type or switch to a new material, as this can affect the timeline of installation or repair if materials are less widely available.

Jeremiah did an awesome job cleaning 28 windows inside and out! He was fast, efficient and now I have a beautiful view again. This was a Groupon for $139 for 20 windows, but I had 28 windows/doors cleaned, so there was an extra $6 per window. Totally worth it.
