Q: How long will it take to rescreen my porch?

• <div><p>Rescreening your porch can take a few hours to a whole day, depending on the size of the enclosure and the amount of screen that needs replacing. If you decide to have a professional handle the rescreening, be sure to get a timeline and a cost estimate so you know how long you&rsquo;ll be without the screened-in space. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to screen-in a patio?

• <div><p>The average cost to screen-in your patio ranges from <b>$2,000 to $4,000</b>. How much you spend depends on the size of your patio, the materials used, and construction complexity.

Q: How long do window screens normally last?

• <div><p>Windows screens normally last between 10 and 12 years before they need to be replaced. Rips, tears, or brittle material can all compromise window screen function. While small tears can be repaired, larger areas of damage are an indication that it&rsquo;s time to replace the entire screen. Other signs of damaged window screens to look out for include sagging, fading, or spots that look thinner compared to the rest of the screen.</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>
