What are solar screens?

• <div><p>Solar screens use a thick mesh of polyester to block out the UV waves and solar heat. While they are more expensive at about <b>$7.50 per square foot</b>, they can protect your porch or hardwood floors from sun damage and keep the room or porch on the other side of the patio cool.</p></div>

Can I repair a window screen myself?

• <div><p>It’s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-window-screen.htm">make minor screen repairs yourself</a> using a waterproof adhesive for small tears or a screen patch kit for larger tears and holes. However, it’s usually a better option to call in a professional window technician. It’s very easy to use too much waterproof glue, resulting in a messy appearance that might demand a full replacement anyway. A screen repair technician will not only be able to carry out clean repairs and patches that aren’t obvious, but they can also let you know if replacing your screen is a more cost-effective option.</p></div>

What holds the screen in place on a screen door?

• <div><p>The screen on many screen doors is held in place by screen spline. Screen spline is typically a thin vinyl tubing that fits into the groove of the door’s frame and holds the screen in place. To install the spline on a screen door, you’ll need a spline roller—a tool that presses the spline and screen into the door’s narrow groove. Note that old spline can crack and break, so replacing your screens is a good time to replace the spline, too. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to screen a 12x12 porch?

• <div><p>A 12-foot-by-12-foot porch is a 144-square-foot porch. It costs about $5 to $7 per square foot to add a screen. So, you&rsquo;ll likely pay between $700 and $1,000 to screen in your porch, depending on the type of screen you choose. If you&rsquo;re starting from scratch, building a new 12-foot-by-12-foot screened-in porch will cost about $6,400 to $18,300.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a screen on a casement window?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely put a screen on a casement window, and most casement windows come with screens. Unlike with a double-hung, single-hung, or sliding window, the screen in a casement window sits on the inside of the window so that the sash can freely open outward. Screens are especially important for casement windows because the large window opening the window provides leaves your home more open to bugs and outside debris than most other types of operable windows.</p></div>

They thoroughly explained where there were issues and costs to repair each area. I was given the option to decline repairs of any area, but decided to have all repairs done. The repairs were quickly completed at a reasonable cost.
