Q: Can you fix a window without replacing it?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fix windows without replacing them. However, this will depend on the severity of the issue and what your needs are.

Q: Are there downsides to garage screens?

• <div><p>While the benefits of garage door screens usually outweigh the downsides, there are some cons to installing one. First off, they can be quite expensive, especially if you&rsquo;re having a professional install a retracting screen or a custom size screen. Second, they let fresh air and natural light in, but they also don&rsquo;t provide the same privacy from people in the neighborhood that a solid door does.

Q: How long do window screens last?

• <div><p>Most window screens last for about 10 to 12 years, assuming they are made from quality materials and receive proper care. The lifespan of common materials like fiberglass and aluminum can vary based on weather exposure, as constant sun or harsh winters can accelerate wear and tear. Regular cleaning and basic maintenance can help extend their life. Signs that a screen needs to be replaced include rips, tears, brittle or sagging material, fading, or a bent frame. While small tears can often be repaired, larger areas of damage typically mean it's time to replace the entire screen.</p></div>

Q: How much does patio rescreening cost?

• <div><p>On average, it cost <b>$2,900 </b>to rescreen a patio, porch, or sunroom, with homeowners paying anywhere from <b>$800 to $5,200</b>. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/porch-screen-repair-cost.htm">cost to rescreen a porch, patio, or sunroom enclosure</a> depends on the size of the enclosure, the extent of the damage, and the materials used to replace existing screens.</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.

"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."

"We contacted Green Valley for siding, roof and window installation on our house. I talked to them on a Friday and they were able to have someone there by the next Wednesday. After a quick response and a great price we decided to go with them. When measuring for the roof we made the comment that we had some leaks and with all the up coming rain they were able to squeeze us in and complete the rear off and installation in one day. It took a little bit for them to get the siding and windows in but they ordered so the siding would be the same stock number and the windows had some odd sizes. When the windows were in they sent Scott and Jared up to install them, they removed 11 windows and installed the new ones all in one day. When doing the siding Scott and Jared were up again, this part took a little longer but after everyday they went around and picked up the yard. Every question I had they were able to answer it for me. The siding and windows turned out amazing!! When all done I had one complaint and David Flores was up on the final walk through and had it fixed right away. We had a very big project and they were able to get it done and stayed right in budget. If you need and kind of remodeling done on your house I would not hesitate to hire this company."
