Window screens can be expensive to replace, so it makes sense to repair them if at all possible. Screens allow windows and doors to be opened during comfortable weather and can save money by allowing natural air flow to cool a dwelling. Screens that are in good repair also keep insects like pesky, biting mosquitoes out of a home or business. Good fitting screens without holes and rust also add value to a home. If you have screens in need of repair, how can you find a company to do the work for you? Here are three suggestions for getting your screens repaired.
Ask friends and neighbors for recommendations
* Look for a local screen repair expert
* Do it yourself
* Ask Friends and Neighbors for Recommendations
Your friends and neighbors may be able to recommend window screen repair experts if they have had their screens repaired. Word of mouth is the best advertising and it is also the best way to weed out a company or repair person with a reputation for poor quality work.
Look for a Local Screen Repair Expert
When hiring an individual or company to repair your screens, seeking someone in your community makes sense. You can get the job done faster and if there are problems your local screen repair expert can correct them promptly.
Do it Yourself
Of course, you can always do your own window screen repair. Apache Junction residents can find everything needed to make screen repairs along with tips for how to do the job. When a problem is a small hole or rip, a screen can be patched very easily by placing a patch cut from a new piece of screen over the damaged area and attaching it to the old screen using strands of screen wire. When you purchase screen repair materials, an expert where you make your purchase can demonstrate how to make these small repairs.
There are some situations where a screen might be beyond repair. For example, if a screen has several holes or tears or is rusty, the best solution is to replace the entire screen or purchase a new framed window screen.
