John’s Screen Repair Service

   At times it seems that you can’t find a local contractor to repair or build something for you.  What do you do then?  Sears, Home Depot, and Lowes have a list of contractors that you can get.  Also, the contractor board in your county can tell you how to find a list of licensed contractors in your area.

   If you do decide to contract with someone that is out of your area, be a lot more deligent in finding out about their work and their reputation and license.  Talk to at least 3 people whome they have done work for in your area.  Find out if the job was finished to the customer’s satisfaction. 

    Call the contractor’s  supplier of materials and see how they do business.  You can also require them to give you information for a credit check.  Check the public records in the area where they say they are from (5yr) and see if they have any problems. Even driving record, or search for them on Google. Fly-by-nighters often have other kinds of problems.

   Do all you can to check them out.  The bigger the project you have for them to do the more careful you need to be.  Also, don’t forget your own safety.

   You should not have to put down any money for a screen repair that is less than $500, unless  some special order supplies or equipment are needed to do your work.  You will be expected to pay in full at the time the service is completed.  If the price for your repair is $500 - $2,000  then your deposit should not be more than 10%.

   Window screens are usually taken to a shop and you pay for the repair when you pick them up.  At times a repairman will repair the window screens at your home and you pay at the time of service.

   Payment with credit cards is not usually an option when doing business with small companies.  Sometimes with big companies and large jobs, paying with credit cards may be an option.

   If you want a new enclosure built or one rebuilt then you will be asked to put a 10%-50% deposit.  Only give this much deposit to a well established company that has a good reputation in your area.   Check on this web site for information about hiring a contractor.        www.ContractorFraud.net

  If you plan to tent your house and you have a screen enclosure that is not going to be covered with the tenting, then you need to ask the exterminating company if any of the screens need to be removed or pulled back from the house before the tenting is done.  The exterminating company does not usually include screen removaland/or replacement as bart of their bid. 

    You will need to contract a screen repair company to remove the screen before the tenting is done.  After the screen is pulled back or taken out they will need to be replaced. 

   The screens cannot usually be put back in because of the age of the screen or the screen is cut short or it has been frayed and cannot be streatched.

  A screen porch can be covered with the tent but large pool screen enclosures cannot be covered easily, if at all.
