Q: How often should house windows be repaired?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-windows-last.htm">Most windows last</a> for <b>15 to 30 years</b>, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it&rsquo;s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks</p></li><li><p>Drafts</p></li><li><p>Difficulty opening or closing</p></li><li><p>Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills</p></li><li><p>Outdoor noise becomes more audible</p></li><li><p>Signs of physical damage</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you patch a screen door?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;d rather repair your screen door mesh than replace it, you can patch it. Purchase a mesh patch for screen doors with small holes or tears, especially if the mesh is pretty new. Hardware stores and websites sell mesh patches that are easy to apply with an adhesive or a warm hair dryer. Keep in mind that repairs won&rsquo;t look as aesthetically pleasing in most cases as a full replacement. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to add a window to a brick house?

• <div><p>Adding a window to a brick house costs <b>$3,100 to $10,575</b>. Because you&rsquo;ll need to make changes to the structure of the home, the cost will include obtaining permits and hiring the best pros for this complex job. Larger windows will cost more to install, and the cost can vary based on the window frame material you choose.</p></div>

Q: Why did my window seal fail?

• <div><p>Window seals don&rsquo;t last forever, so they&rsquo;ll inevitably fail for one reason or another. One of the most common reasons is the expansion and contraction of the glass. When the glass gets warm from sunlight, it expands and adds pressure to the seal; at night, as the glass cools, it contracts. This process, day in and day out, can eventually cause the seal to fail. Other common sources of failure include the house settling over time, chemicals that damage the seal when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-window-frame.htm">repainting windows</a>, and incorrect window installation.</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>
