Many screens for storm doors, windows and patio doors can deteriorate with age. Can you fix them yourself? Is it worth it even if you can? Let us take a look.
A lot of it comes down to the actual frame of your screen and whether that is in good shape or not. It is common for the screen to get ripped or torn, so as long as the frame is in good shape and you do not mind a bit of do it yourself then you can give it a try.
If the screen is broken or requires further work then you have a couple of options, either replace the screen or get expert assistance. Here at Ace Glass we can replace the screen material and bring it up to a professional standard or provide a screen door replacement for you. If you wish to try it yourself then you need to take caution as as a rule most of the screen frames are made of fiberglass and due to its flexibility it is easy to work with, however if you make a mistake then you only have one shot at it.
So this can become a costly experience if you have never had previous experience with making new screen frames. If you wish to go all out you can actually purchase an aluminum frame, just be sure to order it in the right size saving you the hassle of trying to cut it down to size with a hacksaw.
