Window and door upgrades are fairly common. According to Global Market Insights, a market research company, the global window and door market is expected to surpass $225 billion by 2027. Of all the window and door upgrades, screened windows and doors are a great accessory for your home. They allow in fresh air while keeping out things like bugs and debris. However, screens do require replacement over time. Here are four signs it might be time for window screen repair.

1. Bugs in Your House

Screens are designed to keep bugs out of your house, but sometimes the weave on your screens gets stretched or damaged. This can allow bugs to get in. If you start noticing flies, mosquitoes, or gnats, you might want to check the screens in your house for holes or tears. A window replacement company can help you with repairs or new window screen installations.

2. Increased Dust

Another sign you might need screen repairs or replacements is if you start to notice an unusual amount of dust, pollen, or debris in your home. High-quality screens can usually block out a lot of dust and debris, but if the holes in the screen are stretched or damaged, or if there are tears, more dust and debris can make its way into your home. While you can try to just get the screens repaired, screens aren’t very durable and will need replacement eventually.

3. Visible Damage

If screens have been damaged, you’ll want to get replacement screens. Screens are a consumable part of your windows, meaning that they deteriorate faster than the rest of the window. You can connect with a window replacement company to discuss your options for screen replacement.

4. Old Age

If you’re inspecting your screens for damage, it’s a good idea to consider their age. Older screens will need to be replaced. If you live in an older home that still has original windows, you might want to consider screen replacements soon. According to House Digest, an expert home remodeling news and advice source, window screens typically last between 10 and 12 years.

These are just a few things you should remember about window replacements and screen repairs. If you’re looking for quality windows and screens, please contact King's Window Services LLC today. We'll make sure your screens are strong and in great condition.
