Your screen enclosure is virtually maintenance-free and should last many years. ​ The frames are powder coated aluminum, and can be wiped down and cleaned with common household cleaners. Screens can be cleaned gently with a garden hose or a gentle brush. Avoid spraying. bug spray on them, or leaning brooms or other objects against them. ​ Birds cause the most damage if they fly into the screen; their beaks often leave a small hole. On aluminum screens, you can often use a safety pin to push the strands back into place. For large rips and tears, screens can be replaced onsite. If a screen gets knocked loose, sometimes you can push the spline back in with a butter knife. Screen doors have speed adjustments on the closer, and can be adjusted.​

After we measure, installation requires a few days in the shop building frames and a few days onsite for most jobs. Doors and other materials may take a few weeks to get, custom glass about 4 weeks, and depending on schedules lead times can vary.

No, we prefer checks only.

Yes, but not in blizzard conditions. (I did install a screen porch once with -14° windchill, but will pass on that now.)

We will if you're not too far away, but most of the time I can get you a ballpark quote first from photos or emailing *.pdf plans. If it looks good to go, then I will stop by for a hard quote. Most owners building new homes have plans that can be emailed.

My uncle never got into "buy today and get $200 off." We try to give a fair quote and treat everybody the same.

We tried that in the past, but the cost was expensive and it was difficult to control the quality of the paint.

Yes, for 1 year. However, screens are not covered for damage by tree limbs, pets, etc.
