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.

Q: Is a garage door screen worth the investment?

• <div><p>If you plan to only use it occasionally, a DIY fabric screen offers a low-cost option that is simple to put up and take down as needed. It also provides a way to test out how you could continue using the extra space in the future. But if you plan to frequently spend time in the space, investing in a customized, professionally installed garage door screen offers the potential for this unlikely space to become a brand new hub for your household.</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: What are common sunroom issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include leaks, broken glass, and damaged frames. Regular maintenance prevents extensive damage.</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>

I felt a little mislead with the pricing; I would've liked a break down of all the repairs. The price was high. After he did the repairs, I felt like they were a little pushy on more repairs. I didn't feel as though I could trust what they were saying. He did show me before and after pictures,...

As mentioned before the service was excellent and they were very professional. The repair was made and they saved me a ton of money by repairing instead of buying a new one. There was no pressure to buy a new one as is faced with some services. Theyu were great.
