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 holds the screen in place on a screen door?

• <div><p>The screen on many screen doors is held in place by screen spline. Screen spline is typically a thin vinyl tubing that fits into the groove of the door’s frame and holds the screen in place. To install the spline on a screen door, you’ll need a spline roller—a tool that presses the spline and screen into the door’s narrow groove. Note that old spline can crack and break, so replacing your screens is a good time to replace the spline, too. </p></div>

Q: What are the average sizes for window screens?

• <div><p>The most common sizes of window screens are <b>24 to 36 inches wide by 36 to 48 inches tall.</b> Most window screens of these sizes fit standard windows found in modern homes. However, you should always prepare for window screen repair or replacement by measuring the windows in your home for accuracy. Window screens outside of these dimensions will likely need to be custom ordered, increasing the cost to repair or replace them.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain an egress window?

• <div><p>Clean the glass regularly, inspect the frame and well for debris, and ensure the cover or well drains properly.</p></div>

Q: Can solar screens be installed on all types of windows?

• <div><p>Most standard windows can accommodate solar screens, but specialty shapes or non-standard frames may require custom solutions. It&rsquo;s important to consult with a professional to ensure compatibility and proper fit for unique window designs. Arched, bay, and fabricated windows often need fabricated screens, which can increase costs and lead time.</p></div>

Needed all of our outside windows and screens cleaned. The team arrived on time and was very professional. Windows turned out very nice as did the screens although $2.00 price per screen was higher than we've paid in the past.

"I went with this company and they did not disappoint. They worked within my timeframe, under short notice, and unloaded a 20 ft U-haul very quickly. I was worried about getting a very wide couch down my narrow stairs into my basement, but they just popped some doors off and back on and made it look easy. 10/10 would hire them again."
