Q: How long does it take to replace a window screen?

• <div><p>Window screens can take anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour to replace, depending on the complexity of the replacement and the accessibility of the window. Replacing the screen inside an existing frame normally takes longer than replacing an entire screen, frame and all, if you purchase a prefabricated screen already mounted on the frame.</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 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. Some patio screen room kits are easy to DIY, but you may need to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/screen-porch-builders/">local screened-in porch builder</a> and obtain permits for more complex designs.</p></div>

Q: Are window screens removed from the inside or outside?

• <div><p>Most window screens in residential homes are designed to be removed from the inside, especially with double-hung, single-hung, and casement styles. That said, some setups require exterior removal. Older homes or custom installs may have exterior clips or brackets, and sunscreens are almost always mounted on the outside. Before removing your window screen, look at how it is held in place. </p></div>

Hung 2 large screen TV's on the wall to give me more space, nice finishing touches by enclosing cords so that I didn't have to look at them. Very professional and helpful, would definitely recommend and would have come to my home again for further work.

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.
