Do you have torn screens or need to replace a screen or two?
As a homeowner, there are many different elements of the home to worry about and window screen maintenance is usually lower on a homeowner’s list. But screens play an important role when it comes to the home and are important to check reguarly. They can help take care of your family by keeping those pesty bugs out and reducing your overall utility bill.
Three signs that your window screens need to be repaired or replaced:
1-Visible Damage
The most obvious sign that it’s time to repair or replace your screens is if there are any visible signs of major damage. If the screen mesh is out of the frame, if there are holes, or any large or small tears it’s time to replace them. These signs of damage means that your window screen can no longer do its job sufficiently.
2-Shiny Screens
Almost everything in your house has an age limit, and window screens are no different. Window screens are constantly exposed to sun and other weather elements making the lifespan a bit unpredictable. Depending on the climate you live in after some time the screen will begin to turn shiny and be more prone to damage. If your screens are becoming shiny, it’s time to get the screen replaced.
3-Difficulty opening and closing windows
A common sign that your window screens are near the end of their lifespan is if you’re having trouble opening and closing your windows. Although, it could be the windows causing the difficulty, there is also a good chance that the screen is damaged and is causing the same problem.
Bland Services can repair and replace your damaged window screens so you’ll never have to worry.
TIP: Repairing a screen is more affordable than replacement, averaging between $65 and $150 for service. If you need multiple screens repaired, it’s usually the most cost effective to have them done all at once, as rates often fall between $20 and $30 per window. If your screens are very large, like porch or pool enclosure screens, the job will likely cost more than repairing a typical window screen.
