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>

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>

Q: Do you have to take window screens down to clean them?

• <div><p>No, but removing window screens will achieve a deeper clean. If you aren&rsquo;t sure how to remove your screens, you can still clean them while in your window. You can follow the same cleaning steps, but you may not be able to get into corners or struggle to clean the entire screen if the window is up high.</p></div>

Q: What is the average cost for a bow window?

• <div><p>While homeowners can spend anywhere from <b>$1,500 to $15,000</b> on new bow windows, the average price for bow windows is <b>$3,900</b>. Some frames cost more than others and are worth considering if you&rsquo;re on a budget.</p><p>For example, vinyl is the most budget-friendly material, while wooden frames have the highest price tag, especially once you factor in the amount of maintenance and the lifespan of the material. Larger bow windows will also cost more than smaller ones, so keep this in mind while shopping.</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>

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.
