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>

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>

Q: What is the best way to secure windows?

• <div><p>There are a number of ways to secure windows. You can add <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/motion-detectors-vs-window-sensors.htm">motion detectors or window sensors</a> to detect movement and impact or change the window locks to make them stronger. Some of the ways you can secure windows are much like how you secure a home: closing the curtains at night and setting up security cameras outside so you can monitor your property even in your absence. </p></div>

Q: Do solar screens require special cleaning or care?

• <div><p>Solar screens are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washing, as these can damage the mesh. Inspect screens annually for tears or loose frames to maintain performance. In dusty or coastal areas, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent buildup.</p></div>

Q: Should you repair or replace an existing screen door?

• <div><p>When it comes to repairing or replacing an existing screen door, you&rsquo;ll want to weigh a few considerations first. Think about whether you need a new frame or simply new mesh, whether you&rsquo;re tired of the current frame style, and whether you now need more durability. </p></div>

Jared is courteous, responsive, smart and conscientious. Most important, he did the job of grading and repairing our driveway well, all in a timely manner. I’d definitely hire him again. Excellent.

I've used RN construction many times for multiple jobs from minor repairs to major multiple room renovations. They are honest, carefully and very good craftsman. They never fail to communicate and respond quickly. I'm currently using them to renovate a new space for my business.

Hurley came an hour after we connected by phone for a diagnostic visit and ended up fixing our system on the spot. Terry was extra professional and neat, putting booties on his shoes to come inside. And he explained things better and more clearly than previous repair companies we used.

We almost gave up on Giant, because they did not return our initial request for a quote for several days - are we glad we waited! Giant's price was the lowest of all the quotes we got and they honored the Angie's List coupon. We liked that Perry was willing to sit down with us and explain what...

They were absolutely excellent. He was extremely competent and took care of the mice over night. He was able to identify why we had the problem and recommended someone to us that was equally competent to create a screen for us to keep the mice out.
