What is the most affordable way to screen a porch?

• <div><p>The most affordable way to screen in a porch is to add a base track system to an existing wooden frame. The whole process should cost around <b>$2,000 </b>for supplies, depending on the size of your porch. It’s much pricier to build a screened-in porch or sunroom from scratch—and you’ll probably need to hire a contractor for a project like that.</p></div>

Q: Do solar screens require special cleaning or care?

• <div><p>Solar screens are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washing, as these can damage the mesh. Inspect screens annually for tears or loose frames to maintain performance. In dusty or coastal areas, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent buildup.</p></div>

Q: How often should house windows be repaired?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-windows-last.htm">Most windows last</a> for <b>15 to 30 years</b>, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it&rsquo;s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks</p></li><li><p>Drafts</p></li><li><p>Difficulty opening or closing</p></li><li><p>Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills</p></li><li><p>Outdoor noise becomes more audible</p></li><li><p>Signs of physical damage</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
