Can I repair a window screen myself?

• <div><p>It’s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-window-screen.htm">make minor screen repairs yourself</a> using a waterproof adhesive for small tears or a screen patch kit for larger tears and holes. However, it’s usually a better option to call in a professional window technician. It’s very easy to use too much waterproof glue, resulting in a messy appearance that might demand a full replacement anyway. A screen repair technician will not only be able to carry out clean repairs and patches that aren’t obvious, but they can also let you know if replacing your screen is a more cost-effective option.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to take window screens down to clean them?

• <div><p>No, but removing window screens will achieve a deeper clean. If you aren&rsquo;t sure how to remove your screens, you can still clean them while in your window. You can follow the same cleaning steps, but you may not be able to get into corners or struggle to clean the entire screen if the window is up high.</p></div>

Q: Can you repair a tear in a screen door?

• <div><p>Yes, it's easy and economical to repair a small tear in a screen door with a widely available DIY patch kit. When there are multiple small tears, a large one, or the screen is made from a specialized material, replacing the screen might look tidier and be a better long-term investment.</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: Is screen repair worth it?

• <div><p>Screen repair is always worthwhile, as tears and holes in your windows and door screens are unsightly and allow pests and debris into your home, rendering the screen useless. The faster you repair your screens, the faster you can open your windows and doors freely to let the fresh air in. Consider repairing multiple door and window screens during one appointment with a screen repair technician to make the investment and labor costs worth it.</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.
