Q: Which type of window screen is best?

• <div><p>The best type of window screen for your home depends on your region and your family&rsquo;s needs. While fiberglass window screens are a popular, affordable, and easy-to-find choice, you may be looking for different benefits, such as a more high-end look, increased strength, or extended durability. The best window screen meets the demands of your home and its residents while staying within your budget.</p></div>

Q: How long do window screens normally last?

• <div><p>Windows screens normally last between 10 and 12 years before they need to be replaced. Rips, tears, or brittle material can all compromise window screen function. While small tears can be repaired, larger areas of damage are an indication that it&rsquo;s time to replace the entire screen. Other signs of damaged window screens to look out for include sagging, fading, or spots that look thinner compared to the rest of the screen.</p></div>

Q: Are window screens removed from the inside or outside?

• <div><p>Most window screens in residential homes are designed to be removed from the inside, especially with double-hung, single-hung, and casement styles. That said, some setups require exterior removal. Older homes or custom installs may have exterior clips or brackets, and sunscreens are almost always mounted on the outside. Before removing your window screen, look at how it is held in place. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>A screened-in porch requires maintenance to keep the screens clean and in good shape, and you may have to do some screen repair or replacement from time to time. A screen porch isn&rsquo;t an all-season porch, so the weather can get in, including wind and rain.</p></div>

Q: How do you install a screen door insert?

• <div><p>If your door has interchangeable inserts, you&rsquo;ll likely want to swap the glass out for a screen during the summer months. The process to do so will vary by door, but you&rsquo;ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips&mdash;the plastic strips running down both long (and sometimes all four) sides of the door. Then gently pull them out by hand. Carefully remove the glass insert from the door and replace it with the screen. Finally, push the plastic retainer strips back into place, working from top to bottom. </p></div>

John was communicative, professional, fairly priced and did an outstanding job building a front-deck and repairing my patio screen room. Went well and beyond what was asked. He did so in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend "Extra Hands' to others and will use him for future projects.

The windows were fabulous and stayed that way for a long time. The screens were rinsed off but not what I would have considered clean. Nothing was done between the screens and windows with the frame and sill. In addition I had to go around cleaning up drops of dirty water that were on the inside...

Very professional and pleasant. Worked on the driveway since my garage was not available. Not only did John repair my screens he also repaired one that was totally bent out of shape from Hurricane Sandy and ready to be thrown out, but he fixed it like new at NO CHARGE. I know he didn't charge...
