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>

What are solar screens?

• <div><p>Solar screens use a thick mesh of polyester to block out the UV waves and solar heat. While they are more expensive at about <b>$7.50 per square foot</b>, they can protect your porch or hardwood floors from sun damage and keep the room or porch on the other side of the patio cool.</p></div>

What holds the screen in place on a screen door?

• <div><p>The screen on many screen doors is held in place by screen spline. Screen spline is typically a thin vinyl tubing that fits into the groove of the door’s frame and holds the screen in place. To install the spline on a screen door, you’ll need a spline roller—a tool that presses the spline and screen into the door’s narrow groove. Note that old spline can crack and break, so replacing your screens is a good time to replace the spline, too. </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: What’s the difference between a screen door and a storm door?

• <div><p>Storm doors are different from <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-things-know-about-screen-doors.htm">screen doors</a> in a few ways. While screen doors are simple structures designed to keep out bugs and allow air circulation, storm doors are heavier and designed to protect your home&rsquo;s entry door from weather and intruders. They are made of aluminum with tempered glass panels to allow natural light in the home.</p></div>

Their rates were too high for what they did. They took two screens off tip of faucet and washed debris out and charged me almost $200. I believe it was $195.

Left garbage around, screens never checked and didn't fit. Numerous tries to replace screens, required me to constantly follow up on them and after many months of this, I just gave up. My grades of them may have been overly generous - biggest waste of $ ever done in my life.
