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: Are there downsides to garage screens?

• <div><p>While the benefits of garage door screens usually outweigh the downsides, there are some cons to installing one. First off, they can be quite expensive, especially if you&rsquo;re having a professional install a retracting screen or a custom size screen. Second, they let fresh air and natural light in, but they also don&rsquo;t provide the same privacy from people in the neighborhood that a solid door does. As you might guess, screens also won&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-garage.htm">insulate your garage</a>, so they&rsquo;re often not usable in colder weather.</p></div>

Q: How can professionals customize screens to fit unique home styles?

• <div><p>There are many ways to customize screens, including customizing frame colors and mesh styles to complement your home&rsquo;s aesthetic.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a screen on a casement window?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely put a screen on a casement window, and most casement windows come with screens. Unlike with a double-hung, single-hung, or sliding window, the screen in a casement window sits on the inside of the window so that the sash can freely open outward. Screens are especially important for casement windows because the large window opening the window provides leaves your home more open to bugs and outside debris than most other types of operable windows.</p></div>

"Stefan Korn and his crew removed and replaced all of the rotted and ripped screen-panel walls and doors that made up our screened porch with his far superior screen/frame products -- dog-proof screen on the lower panels and regular screen on the top. He and his crew performed the work in an exceptionally professional and timely fashion and somehow managed to keep everything remarkably neat and tidy during the process. We couldn't be more pleased with the finished product. We also truly enjoyed working with Stefan and his men. They have our highest recommendation. Their work is worth every penny."
