How do you install a screen door insert?

• <div><p>If your door has interchangeable inserts, you’ll likely want to swap the glass out for a screen during the summer months. The process to do so will vary by door, but you’ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips—the plastic strips running down both long (and sometimes all four) sides of the door. Then gently pull them out by hand. Carefully remove the glass insert from the door and replace it with the screen. Finally, push the plastic retainer strips back into place, working from top to bottom. </p></div>

Q: Where can I get a window or door screen repaired?

• <div><p>Some hardware or specialty window stores in your area may repair damaged screens, but it&rsquo;s less time-consuming, more convenient, and potentially more affordable to hire a screen repair technician to come to your home to do the work on-site. The screen technician will have the tools and experience to get the work done the same day, and they can inspect other screens while there to help avoid repeat repair costs in the future.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs that my screens need repair?

• <div><p>Tears, holes, or difficulty in opening and closing suggest a need for repair.</p></div>

Q: Should you repair or replace an existing screen door?

• <div><p>When it comes to repairing or replacing an existing screen door, you&rsquo;ll want to weigh a few considerations first. Think about whether you need a new frame or simply new mesh, whether you&rsquo;re tired of the current frame style, and whether you now need more durability. </p></div>

Q: How much do different screen materials cost?

• <div><p>The cost ultimately depends on size, but roughly, the most popular screen materials will set you back anywhere from around $0.25 to over $25 per square foot. Fiberglass and aluminum are usually less expensive at around $0.25 to $0.70 per square foot. Solar screens cost about $7.50 to $15 per square foot, while security screens range from around $10 to $25 per square foot.</p></div>
