Screen doors are vital in our homes to provide us with fresh, outside air without the hassle of having annoying insects and debris enter. They can however become damaged or worn over time from wear and tear, exposure to elements and accidental damage. If your screen is showing signs of wear or damage, you may be tempted to repair or replace it yourself but there are some good reasons to think about hiring a professional for the job.
- Expertise
Professionals in screen replacement have the experience and expertise to accurately carry out the replacement while addressing proper installation techniques including screen tension and frame alignment. Professional technicians will also be able to best handle all types of screens, whether you are looking for pet-resistant, fiberglass, aluminum or retractable screens.
- Efficiency
When using a professional, the process can be much more efficient. Technicians have specialized tools to ensure a perfect fit and to make sure that the screen functions as it should. It really is more work than simply swapping out the old screen for the new one. Technicians must take precise measurements, carefully align, and tension the screen to ensure that there are no wrinkles or sagging. Using professional services can also take a lot less time, especially if you are unfamiliar with the process, or do not have access to the required tools.
- Quality of Material
Another reason to consider professional screen replacement is the material quality. Often the material offered is very high quality and much better than you would be able to find in a DIY kit from a hardware store. Using high quality material can save you money in the long run by ensuring that it lasts longer, has better functionality and looks great! You can get better value for your money as you reduce the chance of needing more frequent repairs or replacements.
- Guaranteed with Warranty
Respectable screen replacement companies will also usually have warranty on their products and services. This can give you a sense of safety as you can rest assured that if something goes wrong or there is a failure, you are covered and will not be left having to dish out more money for repairs.
When using a professional screen replacement service you can have confidence that the quality will be tiptop in both workmanship and material. Although more costly than the DIY alternative, you will save money in the long term and can be sure that the job has been done correctly with care!
