Do awning windows have screens?

• <div><p>Awning windows can have screens, but it depends on your manufacturer. If your awning window does have a screen, it will be on the interior side so it doesn’t get in the way when you crank the window open. Having the screen on the inner part of the window also makes it easier to clean from inside your home. </p></div>

Which screen material should I choose?

• <div><p>The screen material you choose depends on your needs. Here are some differences to consider:</p><ul><li><p>Fiberglass is the least expensive but needs replacing more often.</p></li><li><p>Aluminum suits almost any job and doesn’t stretch as easily as fiberglass. </p></li><li><p>Pet-resistant screens are more expensive than fiberglass or aluminum, but they’re also wind and weather-resistant. </p></li><li><p>Metal screens, like stainless steel, are the most expensive material for rescreening your porch or sunroom. However, they last for years and are golf ball-resistant. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do you replace a retractable screen on a storm door?

• <div><p>The steps to replace a retractable screen can vary, but these are the general steps: First, remove the screen cover to expose the screen mechanism and remove the clip that holds the screen in place. Next, depress the end of the screen mechanism so it releases from the door frame. Take your new screen and fit one end into the frame. You may need to rotate the mechanism to engage the spring before inserting the other end into the frame. Finally, pull the screen down the length of the door&rsquo;s opening and lock it in place with the clip.</p></div>

Q: Can I install insect screens on my skylights?

• <div><p>Yes, if you have ventilated skylights, you can install insect screens on them. Insect screens for skylights cost $10 to $50 each, depending on their size and quality. Most pros highly recommend insect screens for ventilated skylights because they keep pests outside of your home while allowing fresh air inside.</p></div>

Q: How long do window screens last?

• <div><p>Most window screens hold up for about 10 to 12 years&mdash;assuming they&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-window-screens.htm">made from quality materials</a> and get decent care. Fiberglass and aluminum are common, but their lifespan varies depending on how much weather they&rsquo;re exposed to. Constant sun or rough winters can speed up wear and tear, while regular cleaning and basic window maintenance can help them last longer. Damage from pets or a rogue tree branch can also shorten their life. If the mesh is torn, the frame&rsquo;s bent, or they&rsquo;ve faded to a dull gray, it&rsquo;s probably time to swap them out for something new. </p></div>

The majority of my project was repair work. Most of the paver contractors I spoke to were more interested in new work. Kivo was happy to help with my repairs. Turned out great.
