Should I remove my window screens in the winter?

• <div><p>If your winter looks like heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures, taking your screens out for the season can be a great way to avoid mesh damage or bent frames. Ice can build up and put pressure on the screen, especially in older or aluminum frames. Removing them also lets in more natural light during those shorter winter days and makes it easier to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-maintenance-tips.htm">keep your windows clean</a>. In warmer climates, it’s less about protection and more about preference. Some homeowners like the clearer view while others leave them in for convenience. Either way works—it depends on your setup and what you value more. </p></div>

Q: Can window screens block UV rays?

• <div><p>Many kinds of window screens, such as solar screens, are designed to reduce the amount of harmful ultraviolet rays that pass through them and enter your home. The materials typically have UV-blocking properties. However, they may not completely eliminate all UV rays from passing through your home. Different window screens are designed for different purposes, and not all are designed to block or reduce UV rays. Do your research to make sure you&rsquo;re getting the type of window screen to suit your needs.</p></div>

Q: How often should house windows be repaired?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-windows-last.htm">Most windows last</a> for <b>15 to 30 years</b>, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it&rsquo;s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks</p></li><li><p>Drafts</p></li><li><p>Difficulty opening or closing</p></li><li><p>Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills</p></li><li><p>Outdoor noise becomes more audible</p></li><li><p>Signs of physical damage</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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. Minor water damage, broken glass, damaged casing, and worn caulking are usually easy repairs. But if there is excessive damage, the windows are constantly foggy, or the windows are very old, it&rsquo;s best to consider replacing them. Replacement windows cost between <b>$575 and $1,475</b> per window, or an average of <b>$850</b> per window. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to replace a window screen?

• <div><p>Window screens can take anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour to replace, depending on the complexity of the replacement and the accessibility of the window. Replacing the screen inside an existing frame normally takes longer than replacing an entire screen, frame and all, if you purchase a prefabricated screen already mounted on the frame.</p></div>

Brandon Turner did some roof repair work for us in 2017. We now have multiple ceiling leaks. We tried multiple times to contact him about our concerns and he would not respond. Think twice about hiring this company to do any work for you.

Getting the quote and the work done went very good. However after the windows have been in for a while we have had one pane crack and we can't get any response from Bee to come and repair. They won't even return our calls. The work was done at 304 Redwood Court in Kokomo.
