Should I remove my window screens in the winter?

• <div><p>If your winter looks like heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures, taking your screens out for the season can be a great way to avoid mesh damage or bent frames. Ice can build up and put pressure on the screen, especially in older or aluminum frames. Removing them also lets in more natural light during those shorter winter days and makes it easier to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-maintenance-tips.htm">keep your windows clean</a>. In warmer climates, it’s less about protection and more about preference. Some homeowners like the clearer view while others leave them in for convenience. Either way works—it depends on your setup and what you value more. </p></div>

How long does it take to replace a basement window?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-install-window.htm">Installing a basement window generally takes a few hours</a>, assuming there are no structural issues you need to resolve first. If you’re a novice DIYer, the project could take longer; on the flip side, a licensed and trained window contractor may be able to replace multiple basement windows in the time it takes a homeowner to replace one.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain new windows?

• <div><p>Regularly clean glass and frames, inspect seals, and reapply caulking as needed.</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>

Q: Can you trim an overhead garage door screen?

• <div><p>You can trim an overhead garage door screen to fit your garage door opening. This is a particularly helpful hack if you have an irregularly sized garage door opening but are still interested in installing a garage door screen to keep pests and debris out. Trim the garage door screen carefully to avoid unsightly edges or an uneven fit.</p></div>

Bob was prompt and professional. We had him replace the crown on our chimney, replace several bricks, replace some flashing and repair some loose slate on our front step. I would highly recommend him for any masonary job.
