How do you install a screen door insert?

• <div><p>If your door has interchangeable inserts, you’ll likely want to swap the glass out for a screen during the summer months. The process to do so will vary by door, but you’ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips—the plastic strips running down both long (and sometimes all four) sides of the door. Then gently pull them out by hand. Carefully remove the glass insert from the door and replace it with the screen. Finally, push the plastic retainer strips back into place, working from top to bottom. </p></div>

Q: How often should house windows be repaired?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-windows-last.htm">Most windows last</a> for <b>15 to 30 years</b>, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it&rsquo;s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks</p></li><li><p>Drafts</p></li><li><p>Difficulty opening or closing</p></li><li><p>Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills</p></li><li><p>Outdoor noise becomes more audible</p></li><li><p>Signs of physical damage</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do professionals clean window screens?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-secret-window-cleaning.htm">Professionals clean window screens</a> the same way a homeowner can&mdash;by removing the screens and cleaning them with a sponge. A window cleaning pro may come with better equipment, like a high powered wet/dry vacuum or pressure washer to speed up the process and achieve a deeper clean.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a screen on a casement window?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely put a screen on a casement window, and most casement windows come with screens. Unlike with a double-hung, single-hung, or sliding window, the screen in a casement window sits on the inside of the window so that the sash can freely open outward. Screens are especially important for casement windows because the large window opening the window provides leaves your home more open to bugs and outside debris than most other types of operable windows.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to repair a double-hung window?

• <div><p>Window repairs cost $175 to $615, depending on the type of repair. Because double-hung windows have two sashes and multiple pieces of hardware, like locks and handles, there are many parts that can break over time. Repairing locks, latches, or other hardware costs about $75 to $200 and is easy to DIY. Fixing one or multiple sashes costs about $200 to $600.</p></div>

Horrible. They had an incompetent subcontractor install my door who damaged my brand new few days old floor, broke my siding, damaged the door, left the old door and trash from the installation on my front yard, and left the outside unfinished. It is open to bugs, critters and the weather. When...
