What holds the screen in place on a screen door?

• <div><p>The screen on many screen doors is held in place by screen spline. Screen spline is typically a thin vinyl tubing that fits into the groove of the door’s frame and holds the screen in place. To install the spline on a screen door, you’ll need a spline roller—a tool that presses the spline and screen into the door’s narrow groove. Note that old spline can crack and break, so replacing your screens is a good time to replace the spline, too. </p></div>

Are garage screens worth it?

• <div><p>If you use your garage often, then yes, a garage screen is absolutely worth the investment. Whether you use your garage as a home gym, a workshop, or for some other hobby, there are few things more enjoyable than allowing some fresh air and natural light in without having to worry about bugs. Plus, , in exchange for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-save-money-garage-insulation.htm">garage insulation</a>, a garage door screen can provide ventilation that might improve the air quality if you’re producing sawdust or using paints, varnishes, or other potential harmful chemicals.</p></div>

Q: How long do window screens last?

• <div><p>Most window screens hold up for about 10 to 12 years&mdash;assuming they&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-window-screens.htm">made from quality materials</a> and get decent care. Fiberglass and aluminum are common, but their lifespan varies depending on how much weather they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s bent, or they&rsquo;ve faded to a dull gray, it&rsquo;s probably time to swap them out for something new. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to screen a 12x12 porch?

• <div><p>A 12-foot-by-12-foot porch is a 144-square-foot porch. It costs about $5 to $7 per square foot to add a screen. So, you&rsquo;ll likely pay between $700 and $1,000 to screen in your porch, depending on the type of screen you choose. If you&rsquo;re starting from scratch, building a new 12-foot-by-12-foot screened-in porch will cost about $6,400 to $18,300.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals handle screen repairs?

• <div><p>By replacing the worn mesh and repairing frames, restoring functionality and appearance.</p></div>

The services were always performed to my satisfaction, they answered my questions and concerns, they didn't try to take advantage of my ignorance when it comes to all things mechanical, and they let me borrow a loaner car while mine was in their shop being repaired. The cost here is much cheaper...

They are quick and they are close to us. I haven't had problems with them. The job went good. I was happy with the quick turnaround and they fixed it without us to replace the whole thing. We've had them replaced both the screen and glass.
