"Jesus complete several jobs: fixed my leaking shower and repaired the water damage, replaced my screen sliding door, fixed my garage door that was off track and not opening, among other projects. He had a good attention to detail and quality and proactively proposed solutions; he made the whole process very easy for me. He was always very responsive on the phone and also kept my tenant happy. He even pulled a long day and stayed late to make sure everything was finished and cleaned up well."

"SD Assembly Pros / Steve Lawrence is an exceptional contractor. We have several rental properties in the San Diego area that Steve has helped us with, and he just finished a full rehab on our 2bed / 2bath condo in Santee that was severely water damaged. This project included replacing the bath: tub; shower door; walls; ceiling; plumbing; and tile, and all the interior doors / casings, plus painting and various handyman services - the place has never looked this good! And Steve?s communication is absolutely the best, he talked us through the whole process, step-by-step, even suggesting design choices (which we readily accepted) and he regularly texted progress videos. This was particularly reassuring for us as we live in North Carolina. SD Assembly Pros / Steve Lawrence is the best."

Screen Repair questions, answered by experts

Whether you should repair or replace a screen door depends on the type and extent of the damage. It is easy and economical to repair a small tear in the mesh using a widely available DIY patch kit. However, if there are large tears, multiple damaged spots, or if the screen is made of a specialized material, replacing the entire screen mesh might be a better long-term investment for a tidier appearance. You should also consider the condition of the frame; if the frame itself is damaged, it's likely time to replace the entire door. Other factors to weigh include whether you want a new style or need a more durable door.

You can add any type of window to a brick house, so long as the window has proper support. Windows with wider openings and windows in brick walls will need a lintel to support the extra weight above the window frame. A lintel is a support beam that distributes the weight from above evenly around the window.

While sometimes used interchangeably, screen doors and storm doors have key differences. Screen doors are simple structures, typically composed of just a frame and a screen, designed to keep out bugs while allowing air circulation. In contrast, storm doors are heavier and more complex, built to protect your home's main entry door from weather and intruders. They usually feature an aluminum frame with interchangeable tempered glass and screen panels, allowing you to switch between ventilation and insulation. A storm door offers more protection and versatility but generally costs more than a basic screen door.

The steps to replace a retractable screen can vary, but these are the general steps: First, remove the screen cover to expose the screen mechanism and remove the clip that holds the screen in place. Next, depress the end of the screen mechanism so it releases from the door frame. Take your new screen and fit one end into the frame. You may need to rotate the mechanism to engage the spring before inserting the other end into the frame. Finally, pull the screen down the length of the door’s opening and lock it in place with the clip.

The screen material you choose depends on your needs. Here are some differences to consider:

  • Fiberglass is the least expensive but needs replacing more often.

  • Aluminum suits almost any job and doesn’t stretch as easily as fiberglass. 

  • Pet-resistant screens are more expensive than fiberglass or aluminum, but they’re also wind and weather-resistant. 

  • Metal screens, like stainless steel, are the most expensive material for rescreening your porch or sunroom. However, they last for years and are golf ball-resistant.
