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 last?

• <div><p>Most window screens last for about 10 to 12 years, assuming they are made from quality materials and receive proper care. The lifespan of common materials like fiberglass and aluminum can vary based on weather exposure, as constant sun or harsh winters can accelerate wear and tear. Regular cleaning and basic maintenance can help extend their life. Signs that a screen needs to be replaced include rips, tears, brittle or sagging material, fading, or a bent frame. While small tears can often be repaired, larger areas of damage typically mean it's time to replace the entire screen.</p></div>

Q: Can I install insect screens on my skylights?

• <div><p>Yes, if you have ventilated skylights, you can install insect screens on them. Insect screens for skylights cost $10 to $50 each, depending on their size and quality. Most pros highly recommend insect screens for ventilated skylights because they keep pests outside of your home while allowing fresh air inside.</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: What are the standard sizes for windows and window screens?

• <div><p>Window screens are available in several standard sizes. Common dimensions include 24 to 36 inches wide by 36 to 48 inches tall, as well as sizes like 18 by 14 inches and 20 by 20 inches. These often correspond to standard window sizes, such as 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall or 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. Screens are also sold in replacement rolls to accommodate various dimensions. It is always best to measure your windows for accuracy before a repair or replacement. If your windows are a non-standard size, you will likely need to order custom screens, which can increase the cost. However, a screen does not necessarily have to fit the entire window, so you may be able to use a standard-size screen even if your window is slightly larger.</p></div>

"8 years ago I purchased a house that was under renovation and had brand new Windows by Anderson. Within 6 months I realized that they were not doing their job and on the advice of a friend I called AAPCO to come out and explain to me why I was losing so much heat. The explanation I was given made sense so I replaced 13 windows with AAPCO windows and I never looked back. The workers were punctual, respectful of my property, did their job professionally and cleaned up behind themselves. I no longer lose heat or air conditioning and the tilt-in feature makes them so easy to clean. The staff at AAPCO is very helpful and will work with you. It's hard to find a company these days that does what they tell you they're going to do and stands behind their work. This company does."

"I needed stucco repair work on an old chimney (and other spots). Grady was meticulous and thoughtful on what approaches and materials would work. Throughout the project they allocated sufficient time for each treatment to cure and inspected the work before proceeding to the next step. Grady started the project with no money down and only required ongoing payments for materials until the project was well underway. The final payment was due only after they did a final inspection. Total project cost was also below other bids."
