Screen window and porch repair
by JMadrid
Question:Our rabbit chewed a hole in the bottom of one of our screen porch windows...now I am trying to figure out who to call to fix it? large rectangular frame...there are 7 screen windows and 1 screened door...so the hole is just in the bottom of one of the screened frames. do I go to home depot? how do I order the new frame...we bought the house after the screen porch was in and no way to find out who originally put the screen porch in the house. Hi Jennifer; Home Depot or Lowes dont usually carry the right materials for repairing screen porches. Try locating a local glass shop that has experience building screen porches. If you screen porch is aluminum, then it should be a simple matter of pulling out the screen frames and getting them rescreened. If the screen porch is wood, and the screening is stapled in place its a bit more time consuming because all the old cloth has to be torn down and new material stapled up. The best way to repair old wooden porches is to have aluminum screen frames made to fit in the openings. This makes it a whole lot easier, and cheaper to have them repaired in the future. Hope this helps
