Get matched with top screen repair technicians in Kapaau, HI

For most common repairs, a professional window repair service can fix a window in one to three hours. However, replacing window frames or repairing a large, multi-pane window will likely take longer to complete. For comparison, a window installation or repair professional should be able to replace up to 15 windows per day.

Tears, holes, or difficulty in opening and closing suggest a need for repair.

If you’re not keen on using a traditional doggie door, there are some alternatives. One popular option is a solid, insulated door that you can lock when you’re out of the home for added security. You can also opt for a doggie screen, which you can lift and lower to allow your pooch access to the outdoors. These are a bit more convenient to use than a regular exterior door, although security could be an issue. You can also install a screen door with a small opening for your pup to prevent bugs from coming inside as your dog exits.

Most window screens hold up for about 10 to 12 years—assuming they’re made from quality materials and get decent care. Fiberglass and aluminum are common, but their lifespan varies depending on how much weather they’re exposed to. Constant sun or rough winters can speed up wear and tear, while regular cleaning and basic window maintenance can help them last longer. Damage from pets or a rogue tree branch can also shorten their life. If the mesh is torn, the frame’s bent, or they’ve faded to a dull gray, it’s probably time to swap them out for something new.
