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>

Q: How much does it cost to repair a double-hung window?

• <div><p>Window repairs cost $175 to $615, depending on the type of repair. Because double-hung windows have two sashes and multiple pieces of hardware, like locks and handles, there are many parts that can break over time. Repairing locks, latches, or other hardware costs about $75 to $200 and is easy to DIY. Fixing one or multiple sashes costs about $200 to $600.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to repair a window?

• <div><p>For most common repairs, a professional window repair service can fix a window in <b>one to three hours</b>. 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.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to leave a doggy door open?

• <div><p>No, it&rsquo;s not safe to leave a doggy door open. It might be more convenient, especially at night when you just want to lay in bed. However, when you leave it open, it increases the chance of other critters getting in without your knowledge. Also, it leaves your pup unsupervised for hours at a time. </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>

Good professional plumber showed up as promised, made quick but effective repair, was gone in 20 minutes. Left interior drywall cutouts for me to repair. Charge per minute was a little steep, but acceptable.

The majority of the windows looked fine. Two small basement windows were missed, and while they removed the screens, they did not clean them. The window tracks also were not cleaned. I did not call them back but will look for another service next year.
