How do you install a screen door insert?

• <div><p>If your door has interchangeable inserts, you’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’ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips—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>

How much does patio rescreening cost?

• <div><p>On average, it cost <b>$2,900 </b>to rescreen a patio, porch, or sunroom, with homeowners paying anywhere from <b>$800 to $5,200</b>. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/porch-screen-repair-cost.htm">cost to rescreen a porch, patio, or sunroom enclosure</a> depends on the size of the enclosure, the extent of the damage, and the materials used to replace existing screens.</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>

The company was abrupt, expensive, and below average in quality. They had to be called back to do some finishing touches. One of them to clean a screen of dust and spiderwebs. I was told that they couldn't clean the screen because it couldn't be removed. I came back later and cleaned the...

It was a nightmare. First they installed used materials in the ceiling they were supposed to replace, then had to take it down and do it again. Very sloppy. Did not insulate windows and left large gaps at the top near the ceiling where the insulation and closure should have gone. One of the...
