"We dealt with years of basement water intrusion and serious foundation problems. After receiving only one extremely expensive estimate, We learned about B-Dry through their home appraiser. B-Dry provided an estimate that was roughly half the cost of the competing company and completed the work quickly and professionally. The crew was punctual, respectful of the home, and handled an unexpected gas-line issue by arranging for a licensed plumber to make the necessary adjustment. The work was completed in less than two weeks, and subsequent heavy rains produced no water intrusion. The foundation walls were also restored to a solid condition. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with B-Dry's quality of work, professionalism, efficiency, communication, and value, ranking the company among the best contractors they have dealt with."

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts

The most affordable way to screen in a porch is to add a base track system to an existing wooden frame. The whole process should cost around $2,000 for supplies, depending on the size of your porch. It’s much pricier to build a screened-in porch or sunroom from scratch—and you’ll probably need to hire a contractor for a project like that.

Drafts, condensation between panes, difficulty operating, or visible frames or glass damage are signs of needed repairs.

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.

Yes, adding windows adds value to a brick house. Homeowners don’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’ll want to find one that matches the aesthetic of the existing windows.

While windows increase a home’s value, 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.

If you’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’t look as aesthetically pleasing in most cases as a full replacement.
