Screens fitted to the opening
Check whether the existing frame can be re-screened or a new frame is needed. Record the window or door type, attachment points and any bent corners or damaged tracks. Mesh options should be chosen for airflow, visibility and household use. A screen is not a fall guard or security device. Remove and clean it according to its system instructions.
Skylights: start with the roof
A skylight needs more than a correctly sized pane. Roof slope, roofing condition, the opening or curb, flashing compatibility and interior light-shaft construction determine the work. Establish whether the project replaces an existing unit or makes a new roof opening. Product availability, roofing coordination and any permit requirements are confirmed for the property.
Comfort, leaks and ongoing care
Discuss fixed versus venting operation, solar exposure, shades and safe access for cleaning or servicing. A leak may involve roofing or flashing as well as the unit; interior condensation needs a separate diagnosis. Photograph stains and note when they appear. Do not climb onto the roof to measure. The quote should state who handles roofing, interior finishing and disposal.
