How long does it take to replace a basement window?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-install-window.htm">Installing a basement window generally takes a few hours</a>, assuming there are no structural issues you need to resolve first. If you’re a novice DIYer, the project could take longer; on the flip side, a licensed and trained window contractor may be able to replace multiple basement windows in the time it takes a homeowner to replace one.</p></div>

How do you install a screen door insert?

• <div><p>If your door has interchangeable inserts, you’ll likely want to swap the glass out for a screen during the summer months. The process to do so will vary by door, but you’ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips—the plastic strips running down both long (and sometimes all four) sides of the door. Then gently pull them out by hand. Carefully remove the glass insert from the door and replace it with the screen. Finally, push the plastic retainer strips back into place, working from top to bottom. </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: Is screen repair worth it?

• <div><p>Screen repair is always worthwhile, as tears and holes in your windows and door screens are unsightly and allow pests and debris into your home, rendering the screen useless. The faster you repair your screens, the faster you can open your windows and doors freely to let the fresh air in. Consider repairing multiple door and window screens during one appointment with a screen repair technician to make the investment and labor costs worth it.</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>
