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>

Should I hire a professional to rescreen my porch?

• <div><p>If you’re not an experienced DIYer, consider hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/repair-patio/">local patio repair contractor</a> to rescreen your porch or sunroom. Unless you’re only repairing a small rip or hole, this project is not an easy job. A professional can also make recommendations for materials that will work best for your porch. </p></div>

Q: How long do window screens last?

• <div><p>Most window screens hold up for about 10 to 12 years&mdash;assuming they&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-window-screens.htm">made from quality materials</a> and get decent care. Fiberglass and aluminum are common, but their lifespan varies depending on how much weather they&rsquo;re exposed to. Constant sun or rough winters can speed up wear and tear, while regular cleaning and basic window maintenance can help them last longer. Damage from pets or a rogue tree branch can also shorten their life. If the mesh is torn, the frame&rsquo;s bent, or they&rsquo;ve faded to a dull gray, it&rsquo;s probably time to swap them out for something new. </p></div>

Q: Can you fix a window without replacing it?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fix windows without replacing them. However, this will depend on the severity of the issue and what your needs are. Minor water damage, broken glass, damaged casing, and worn caulking are usually easy repairs. But if there is excessive damage, the windows are constantly foggy, or the windows are very old, it&rsquo;s best to consider replacing them. Replacement windows cost between <b>$575 and $1,475</b> per window, or an average of <b>$850</b> per window. </p></div>

"We lived out of town and Sam handled a lot of problems for us that he didn't have too. He also took time to help us pick out different appliances and fixtures. Helped us with ideas for a laundry room when others said it couldn't be done. His sub contractors did a good job for the most part. Needed some minor follow up on some work."
