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: How often should door or window screens be replaced?

• <div><p>Typically every 10-15 years or whenever they show signs of wear and tear.</p></div>

Q: Why should I hire a professional to install or repair screens?

• <div><p>Ensures proper fit and function, maximizing insect protection and airflow.</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: Are there downsides to garage screens?

• <div><p>While the benefits of garage door screens usually outweigh the downsides, there are some cons to installing one. First off, they can be quite expensive, especially if you&rsquo;re having a professional install a retracting screen or a custom size screen. Second, they let fresh air and natural light in, but they also don&rsquo;t provide the same privacy from people in the neighborhood that a solid door does. As you might guess, screens also won&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-garage.htm">insulate your garage</a>, so they&rsquo;re often not usable in colder weather.</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.
