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>

What is the most affordable way to screen a porch?

• <div><p>The most affordable way to screen in a porch is to add a base track system to an existing wooden frame. The whole process should cost around <b>$2,000 </b>for supplies, depending on the size of your porch. It’s much pricier to build a screened-in porch or sunroom from scratch—and you’ll probably need to hire a contractor for a project like that.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to leave a doggy door open?

• <div><p>No, it&rsquo;s not safe to leave a doggy door open. It might be more convenient, especially at night when you just want to lay in bed. However, when you leave it open, it increases the chance of other critters getting in without your knowledge. Also, it leaves your pup unsupervised for hours at a time. </p></div>

Q: Can window screens block UV rays?

• <div><p>Many kinds of window screens, such as solar screens, are designed to reduce the amount of harmful ultraviolet rays that pass through them and enter your home. The materials typically have UV-blocking properties. However, they may not completely eliminate all UV rays from passing through your home. Different window screens are designed for different purposes, and not all are designed to block or reduce UV rays. Do your research to make sure you&rsquo;re getting the type of window screen to suit your needs.</p></div>

Q: How long do window screens normally last?

• <div><p>Windows screens normally last between 10 and 12 years before they need to be replaced. Rips, tears, or brittle material can all compromise window screen function. While small tears can be repaired, larger areas of damage are an indication that it&rsquo;s time to replace the entire screen. Other signs of damaged window screens to look out for include sagging, fading, or spots that look thinner compared to the rest of the screen.</p></div>

STAY AWAY FROM STATESIDE! They were hired to repair leaking in a flat rubber roof. Peter is smooth-talking, says he sees the problem, he can fix it quick. We paid him over $6,000 to do the repairs but the workmanship turned out to be shoddy. All the new taping and repairs he made came undone...
