Q: Do solar screens require special cleaning or care?

• <div><p>Solar screens are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washing, as these can damage the mesh. Inspect screens annually for tears or loose frames to maintain performance. In dusty or coastal areas, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent buildup.</p></div>

Q: Do clean windows increase home value?

• <div><p>While clean windows don't automatically increase home value, they make your home look more attractive from the outside, and since the exterior is the first thing a potential buyer will see, it can help make a good first impression that paints the rest of your home in a positive light. Educated homebuyers will see that your home is well cared for if they see clean window tracks and sparkling window glass, which can contribute to an overall positive opinion of your property. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-a-window.htm">Clean windows</a> give the impression that the rest of the home&mdash;including systems and appliances&mdash;is probably well-kept, too.</p></div>

The amount of work that Opus did for us was incredible. He has so much pride in his work and makes sure every window and door was installed perfectly. Those doors in the photo are 8x8 and as you see there’s no access working from outside yet they pulled it off beautifully. I highly recommend...
