FAQs

1. What are the signs that my window screens need to be replaced?

If your screens are torn, frayed, bent, or have gaps that allow insects to enter, it’s time to replace them. Rusted frames or loose mesh are also common signs.

2. How long do window screens typically last?

Window screens can last between 10 to 15 years, depending on exposure to weather and wear. Screens in coastal areas may need replacement sooner due to salt and wind exposure.

3. Can I replace just the mesh, or do I need a whole new screen?

In many cases, you can replace just the mesh if the frame is in good condition. If the frame is damaged, it’s best to replace the entire screen.

4. What types of screen materials are available?

Common screen materials include fiberglass, aluminum, and pet-resistant screens. Fiberglass is affordable and durable, while aluminum offers better visibility. Pet-resistant screens are stronger for homes with pets.

5. How do I know what size screens I need?

You can measure your existing screens or provide the window dimensions. For custom sizes, we’ll ensure a precise fit when you request a replacement.

6. How long does the replacement process take?

For small repairs, we can often complete them the same day or within a couple of days. Larger projects may take longer, but we strive to finish promptly.

7. Can I replace just one screen, or do I need to replace them all?

You can replace just one screen if that’s all you need. There’s no requirement to replace all screens at once unless they are all damaged.

8. Are there screens that provide extra UV protection?

Yes, some screen materials can reduce UV rays, protecting your home’s interior from sun damage while still allowing airflow.
