Can I add any window type to my brick house?

• <div><p>You can add any <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-types-your-home.htm">type of window</a> to a brick house, so long as the window has proper support. Windows with wider openings and windows in brick walls will need <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-lintel.htm">a lintel</a> to support the extra weight above the window frame. A lintel is a support beam that distributes the weight from above evenly around the window.</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>

Q: How can professionals customize screens to fit unique home styles?

• <div><p>There are many ways to customize screens, including customizing frame colors and mesh styles to complement your home&rsquo;s aesthetic.</p></div>

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: 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>

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...
