"A plus service, Cathi Johnson recommended a glass company since I did not want to replace the window. Cathi went above and beyond to help me since I am no expert at windows. She gave a great recommendation and excellent customer service skills. Highly recommend Metropolitan high performance windows. I know when we do need an upgrade for all of our windows I will surely be making a call to Cathie."
"This is our second window installation with Renewal By Anderson. We had an outstanding experience our first time around, and today our much anticipated installation of two very large stationary windows took place. Bebe and Ryan were our installers for this job. They were awesome!! They were friendly, they were prompt, and they even helped me figure out how to contact Anderson about a window screen that has been damaged by my landscapers. I very much appreciated their professionalism and their extra attention to detail. I highly recommend Renewal by Anderson for replacement windows. Thanks Bebe and Ryan, you guys are the best!!!"
We were interested in obtaining a company to clean our floor vents and one wall vent since we've NEVER had them cleaned since we moved to the Talmadge area 25 years ago. My intention was to contact at least 2 companies for quotes. After checking Angie's list for Coit and ASI which had 'B' ratings, I decided I wanted a company with an 'A' rating. What attracted me to G&G was . . . 1) They had an 'A' rating . . 2) They had a special for $199.00 . . . and the 'comments' on services rendered were VERY favorable. My intention was to ask about the process and then contact another company to compare information. However, I was so impressed with the gentlemen answering my questions on the phone, I decided to schedule the vent cleaning with G&G. Scheduled services was set up for 10/7 BUT (to my good fortune) the gentleman called me back within 20 minutes to say that he had a cancellation and if I wanted to have the service performed today, it was now available. I agreed. Gabriel and his assistant arrived at my door 45 minutes later. They were personable, professional, knowledgeable and explained the process as they went along. I opted to have 'sanitation of the vents' done as well which was another $150. I don't think I mentioned that at the time I called for the service, the special for vent cleaning had expired 2 days ago. However, G&G honored the 'special rate' of $199.00. Wow.
I was thoroughly pleased with the services I received and I would most definitely recommend this company to my friends, family and anyone else that would listen.
"Requested a quote, they arrived on time and had sample windows to actually look at. Went with them, they took less than half a day, arrived on time, and the windows look great. For one of the windows, a little bit of stucco was damaged during installation and they notified us the damaged happened, came back, and repaired it the next week. The windows look great and had the best specs out of the 4 other window installers I got quotes from."
"We have an old house with doors that do not work properly but. We did not want to replace the entire front door, but needed it to open and close, latch and lock. Trevor and his partner were professional and respectful and put some work in to getting the door functioning. We hope to be able to replace the doors at some point in the future. and Infinity Locks and Doors will be our preferred contractor."
"Has not installed door and security storm door - on order. But Lee’s attention to detail and professionalism are a welcome change. He checked all my boxes when providing ideas and solutions to my very non-standard back door replacement. Even getting my door to come with compatible locks so my existing keys will work. Cannot wait for door to be installed."
"You get what you pay for. Andersen Windows is no exception. Spend the money and have your doors and windows replaced correctly. The installers are friendly yet ultra professional. No muss no fuss. They cleaned up everything to a pristine condition. They are the best windows and installers around."
"The contractors did an excellent job in repairing the sliding glass door. They were very professional as expected. They assessed the issue as deteriorated rollers. Removed the door, replaced the rollers assemblies, adjusted and aligned the rollers to ensure the correct alignment of the door height was parallel with the frame. The door opens and closes with ease. Could not expected more from those professionals. I would hire them again for any door issues."
"Very professional; did a fabulous job installing new frames and screens on my windows and sliding glass doors; efficient; left everything clean; would hire them again for any projects related to the windows and doors of our home."
"We utilized C&H for several handyman projects in a recently purchased condo, as well as a full cleaning in advance of move in. The handyman project including replacing the door moulding, and putting new thresholds and weather stripping on the doors. Well done! The cleaning was done well, with particularly work well done in the kitchen area, to include dishwasher, oven, stove top, and all cupboards and sink. The owner of the company, Al, is a highly customer centric individual, whom only wants the customer to be well served and completely satisfied in the project results. He met me in advance of the projects and totally understood the work to be done. He was early for the four times we met, his crew was on time, he gets his hands dirty, he is a problem solver, and he is there for the end of the job for final inspection. He is a man of high integrity. I recommend C&H for any handyman or cleaning needs you may have. Start with Al!"
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
If you’re not keen on using a traditional doggie door, there are some alternatives. One popular option is a solid, insulated door that you can lock when you’re out of the home for added security. You can also opt for a doggie screen, which you can lift and lower to allow your pooch access to the outdoors. These are a bit more convenient to use than a regular exterior door, although security could be an issue. You can also install a screen door with a small opening for your pup to prevent bugs from coming inside as your dog exits.
Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they’re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn’t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.
Some hardware or specialty window stores in your area may repair damaged screens, but it’s less time-consuming, more convenient, and potentially more affordable to hire a screen repair technician to come to your home to do the work on-site. The screen technician will have the tools and experience to get the work done the same day, and they can inspect other screens while there to help avoid repeat repair costs in the future.
Window screen repair costs an average of $310, with a typical range of $100 to $480. The final price depends on several factors, including the window size, accessibility, screen type, whether the frame needs replacement, and especially the screen material.
The cost of window screen materials varies widely based on durability and features:
Fiberglass: $35–$200
Aluminum: $50–$300
Copper: $90–$850
Stainless Steel: $45–$400
Brass: $100–$900
Solar: $55–$850
Security: $100–$1,000
Vinyl: $25–$120
Costs also differ by screen type. For instance, a prefabricated screen might cost only $40, moveable screens typically run $25 to $75, and retractable screens range from $300 to $900. To save money, you can choose more affordable materials like vinyl or fiberglass, opt to rescreen instead of replacing the entire frame, and have multiple screens repaired at once to reduce labor costs.
The most affordable way to screen in a porch is to add a base track system to an existing wooden frame. The whole process should cost around $2,000 for supplies, depending on the size of your porch. It’s much pricier to build a screened-in porch or sunroom from scratch—and you’ll probably need to hire a contractor for a project like that.
