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>

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>

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: Does adding a window add value to a brick house?

• <div><p>Yes, adding windows adds value to a brick house. Homeowners don&rsquo;t shy away from more natural light and an opportunity to get fresh air. Adding a window is particularly beneficial if you live in an area with good weather for much of the year or if your home has a nice view. Keep in mind that many older brick homes have historic wood windows that add to the charm of the house. When you install a new window in a brick house, you&rsquo;ll want to find one that matches the aesthetic of the existing windows.</p><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-new-windows-increase-home-value.htm">windows increase a home&rsquo;s value</a>, how much they increase it can vary. It depends on the age of the home and the type of windows. You can expect about 70% to 85% return on investment (ROI) when adding a window to your home.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage door screen worth the investment?

• <div><p>If you plan to only use it occasionally, a DIY fabric screen offers a low-cost option that is simple to put up and take down as needed. It also provides a way to test out how you could continue using the extra space in the future. But if you plan to frequently spend time in the space, investing in a customized, professionally installed garage door screen offers the potential for this unlikely space to become a brand new hub for your household.</p></div>
