Re: New Home Alarm Security Questions

I think that the climate can work its harm over time, not just pets, trees,
bushes and other forces of nature. Most alarm screens I have seen only make
it about 5 to 8 years before they need some major attention. Home owners
really resent paying for the repairs (since it means rescreening in most
cases) and many times just have us "bypass" the screen(s).
