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.

Q: Do solar screens require special cleaning or care?

• <div><p>Solar screens are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washing, as these can damage the mesh.

Q: What are the signs that my screens need repair?

"Jayden, T.J., Marty and Kyle were excellent installers for our window. I've waited a long time for this window and it was so worth it. It feels so clean and bright and I don't even want to shut the shutters. Dust Bunny even stopped by to ensure that we were happy. It's a very hot day and I felt bad for them working in the heat, but they were quick and patient and happy that we were happy."

"It went very well and we are very happy with our new windows. One window was cracked during shipping and they discovered it and ordered a new one right away. A couple weeks later when it came in they replaced it. We felt bad for the guys that did the work because it was the two hottest days of the summer. They did an amazing job while working in the heat. We will recommend Green Valley for their work to people we know that need this kind of work. We will also look to them when we need more work on our house."
