Storm windows that don't budge

Now, I have to ask…all this talk about damaging screens when taking them out, I’ve yet to ‘put a finger’ through a screen when removing one. Maybe I’m just extra careful but this is a foreign concept to me.

I offer on-site rescreening, so if I do notice they are worn out or have holes, it’s an added bonus to the homeowner to make the house look REALLY good.

These days with so much cheap materials being used by prior trades who constructed the screen, the sun just destroys these from the mesh to the tabs

I had 2 screens today where these broke just by being touched because they are not UV stabalized, the house is BRAND NEW, maybe 18 months old.

When you have these screens where the trade has used the cheapest parts the screens just break, instead of using metal corners they have plastic ones.

I also offer screen replacement, but with that being said my day doesn’t have time to do it there and then, I had several customers who assumed it was my error for the screen breakage, when the fact is the screen broke because along the screen build either the contractor only offered the cheapest materials available or the customer chose to use the cheapest materials, either way hence why I have :

@Steve076

we will not replace (free of charge) broken, brittle or sun damaged screens that break under normal cleaning conditions.

in my terms and conditions.

Same for me as Steve. Cheap materials and intense sun, rot screens in my area. I’ve run into it often.

I don’t carry screen and tools, or my table I use to rescreen, unless I know I need to rescreen. It’s just too much stuff to keep on the truck. I also am not the fastest at rescreening, so if I have many to do, I usually need to make that a separate trip.

A lot of the resi here doesn’t even have screens, or just a few windows with screens, thankfully.
