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>

Can I add any window type to my brick house?

• <div><p>You can add any <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-types-your-home.htm">type of window</a> to a brick house, so long as the window has proper support. Windows with wider openings and windows in brick walls will need <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-lintel.htm">a lintel</a> to support the extra weight above the window frame. A lintel is a support beam that distributes the weight from above evenly around the window.</p></div>

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: Can you replace the screen without removing the door?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace the screen without removing the door in most cases depending on the frame holding the screen. Doors with removable spline and screen frames make it a snap to replace the mesh while the door remains in place. The best part is that it&rsquo;s a simple DIY project requiring a few tools in addition to the screen material.</p></div>

Q: Can you patch a screen door?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;d rather repair your screen door mesh than replace it, you can patch it. Purchase a mesh patch for screen doors with small holes or tears, especially if the mesh is pretty new. Hardware stores and websites sell mesh patches that are easy to apply with an adhesive or a warm hair dryer. Keep in mind that repairs won&rsquo;t look as aesthetically pleasing in most cases as a full replacement. </p></div>

I hired him because my cat ripped out our carpet and it needed to get repaired. He did a great job and made it very seamless. I am extremely happy with the results! I would definitely recommend him if you need to get any carpet repairs done!

I appreciated the thorough prep work including power washing, priming and making some minor repairs where wood had gone bad. The crew gave attention to details - Mike even did some special painting to make the decorative molding on the peak of the house “pop”.

Had them do two jobs in the past 2 months. Excellent on both. Installed a smart door lock and fixed a nuisance screen door in one trip, later came back and installed new drainage pipe. Always available, very flexible, and patient. And of course the work is top-notch.
