Q: How long will it take to rescreen my porch?

• <div><p>Rescreening your porch can take a few hours to a whole day, depending on the size of the enclosure and the amount of screen that needs replacing.

Q: Does adding a window add value to a brick house?

• <div><p>Yes, adding windows adds value to a brick house. Homeowners don&rsquo;t shy away from more natural light and an opportunity to get fresh air. Adding a window is particularly beneficial if you live in an area with good weather for much of the year or if your home has a nice view. Keep in mind that many older brick homes have historic wood windows that add to the charm of the house. When you install a new window in a brick house, you&rsquo;ll want to find one that matches the aesthetic of the existing windows.</p><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-new-windows-increase-home-value.htm">windows increase a home&rsquo;s value</a>, how much they increase it can vary. It depends on the age of the home and the type of windows. You can expect about 70% to 85% return on investment (ROI) when adding a window to your home.</p></div>

Q: How long do solar screens last?

• <div><p>Most solar screens last 10 to 15 years, depending on the material quality, exposure to weather, and the level of maintenance.

Routine cleaning, inspecting for damage, and avoiding harsh cleaners can help extend the lifespan of your screens.</p></div>
