Q: Can you repair a tear in a screen door?

• <div><p>Yes, it's easy and economical to repair a small tear in a screen door with a widely available DIY patch kit.

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: Does a screen door add value?

• <div><p>Screen doors have a positive ROI because of their safety features. They add protection from debris, critters, and, depending on the material, even heat. However, storm doors are better than screen doors when it comes to overall protection.</p></div>

Q: What options do pros offer for screen material?

• <div><p>Options include fiberglass, aluminum, and pet-resistant screens to suit different needs.</p></div>

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.
