Do window screens help keep the heat out?

• <div><p>Window screens can help keep some heat out of your home, which is one benefit of using them in summer. It’s also the reason experts suggest removing your screens in winter—so it’s easier for the sun’s warmth to filter into your home. This will keep you cozier and potentially reduce your heating bills.</p></div>

Q: How often should door or window screens be replaced?

• <div><p>Typically every 10-15 years or whenever they show signs of wear and tear.</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>

Q: What is the best way to secure windows?

• <div><p>There are a number of ways to secure windows. You can add <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/motion-detectors-vs-window-sensors.htm">motion detectors or window sensors</a> to detect movement and impact or change the window locks to make them stronger. Some of the ways you can secure windows are much like how you secure a home: closing the curtains at night and setting up security cameras outside so you can monitor your property even in your absence. </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>

Did an excellent job. They found a leak behind the old bathtub that they repaired. That leak would have cost a lot more if I had to bring another plumber in to repair as it was behind the walls.
