Should I remove my window screens in the winter?

• <div><p>If your winter looks like heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures, taking your screens out for the season can be a great way to avoid mesh damage or bent frames. Ice can build up and put pressure on the screen, especially in older or aluminum frames. Removing them also lets in more natural light during those shorter winter days and makes it easier to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-maintenance-tips.htm">keep your windows clean</a>. In warmer climates, it’s less about protection and more about preference. Some homeowners like the clearer view while others leave them in for convenience. Either way works—it depends on your setup and what you value more. </p></div>

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: What is the best way to secure windows?

• <div><p>There are a number of ways to secure windows. You can add <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/motion-detectors-vs-window-sensors.htm">motion detectors or window sensors</a> to detect movement and impact or change the window locks to make them stronger. Some of the ways you can secure windows are much like how you secure a home: closing the curtains at night and setting up security cameras outside so you can monitor your property even in your absence. </p></div>

Q: Are there warranties available for window repair?

• <div><p>Many windows carry warranties from the manufacturer or installer that may cover the cost of repairs for a fixed amount of time. When installing or replacing windows, ask about any applicable warranties, what kinds of damage and repair they may cover, and what the procedure is for making a warranty claim.</p></div>

Q: Can you repair a tear in a screen door?

• <div><p>Yes, it's easy and economical to repair a small tear in a screen door with a widely available DIY patch kit. When there are multiple small tears, a large one, or the screen is made from a specialized material, replacing the screen might look tidier and be a better long-term investment.</p></div>

Unprofessional. Communicated via text and never came out to look at the gutter. I was told the entire gutter would have to be replaced. Not the case, gutter repaired.

Joe Gonzales showed up and was very professional. He was able to fix the leak so we could have water to the house again. I tried to repair it myself, but the plumbing lines were too confined. I will be calling Buzzell the next time I have plumbing problems.
