"David, the owner, was very responsive to my call for a new garage door; he provided me with a comprehensive quote for the work that needed to be done. And, he had the new garage door installed and working within the time frame that he had given me for when he would be able to get the job done."
"The owner Jeff is amazing. His company did unbelievable work. They were efficient and clean. They were very price competitive. We could not be happier with our new windows and sliding glass door. Thanks for a great experience!"
"Gilbert helped fix a front door that wouldn’t close. He helped my mother and I after 6pm when we were not able to find anyone else. He did a great job getting the door to fully close. Very respectful and kind. He showed up when he said he would and cleaned after himself. We will definitely work with him again."
"Mariano and his team were thorough in all of the work they did for our bathroom remodel. They were attentive to even the smallest detail. They communicated with us throughout and made sure we knew the progress of the project. Mariano was also a great source of information when we needed advice on choosing materials, colors, and brands. They made sure the job site was clean at the end of each day and worked long hours to make sure our project was completed in a timely manner. I especially appreciate the patience they had in accommodating unexpected delays to the projects, which on our end was caused by a faulty tub and having to sort out our warranty with our supplier. Mariano was patient throughout this delay and continued to work on other items to keep the pace of the project. Overall, we are very satisfied with the team and the final product and would gladly recommend them to others and to do future work for us."
"Enrique Pelayos did a great job refurbishing our cat tower. We've had the tall tower for years and its like a family heirloom for all our cats. The job was more difficult because we wanted a high-traffic, tough to shred, carpet put on it. Enrique did a beautiful job and it looks like it is brand new. The cats love it and are going crazy scampering up and down the tower."
"Mr. Espinoza is an excellent worker. He was on time and he did a great job with the projects I had to finish.He had to return a door to Home Depot that I had ordered and get another size and was very gracious about the situation. I added projects that we had not discussed initially and he handled the situation with grace. He works quickly to get things done. I highly recommend him."
"Adam was fantastic to work with. I had a sliding glass door that was extremely sticky, and after two other companies were unable to fix it, Adam came out promptly and resolved the issue quickly. I was so impressed that I had him repair two additional sliding doors, a screen door, and a shower door hinge while he was there. His pricing was very fair, he was professional and courteous, and the quality of his work was excellent. I would absolutely recommend Adam to anyone needing sliding door, screen door, or related repairs."
"Counters look good, however, there was a HUGE mess. Tons of old counter top in every one my drawers and in all of the cabinets. Basically no clean up, no attempt to. In addition, they got glue in the window track and the window couldn't open. I called multiple times to have this fixed weeks apart. I did get an apology for them forgetting to come out after the first call. However, a huge mess was made getting the glue off the window seal and not cleaned up even a little bit. Rude...acted like we were inconveniencing them. Never apologized. The counters look great but customer service definitely left a sour taste."
They have not yet contacted me regarding the work to be done. As I am preparing to go on a vacation and will not return until the middle of next week, I'm in no hurry. If I haven't heard from them by the end of next week (May 29), I will contact them the following week.
Later:
I had paid the $1,000 advance by Visa through Angie's List, since Best Exteriors only accepts Pay Pal. Angie's sent them a check, but Best Exteriors said they didn't know what it was for, so it took two months to get an agreement signed. It seems to me that they could have called Angie's to ask what it was for. If I received a check for that much and didn't know why, I'd be on the phone right away to find out. I paid it in March. The job was done in July.
The crew of two men showed up on time and did a great job installing the windows. The problems started after the windows were in. The re-installed my two window air conditioners, but left large gaps around them where wind and water could get in.
They fixed one of them before they left, but I had to call the office to get the other one done. It was fixed a week later, but then Alex called me and said it was not part of their job to put the A/C back in, and the customer should make the arrangements for that. Well, alright, but he didn't tell me that when he came out to make the arrangements for the work to be done. It would have been a deal breaker for me, as I am elderly and not strong enough to do that. He said they had "gone above and beyond" by putting the A/C back in for me, but I don't think it's too much to expect them to put things back as they were when they started the job. Certainly they should have told me if it wasn't part of the agreement.
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Screen doors have a positive ROI because of their safety features. They add protection from debris, critters, and, depending on the material, even heat. However, storm doors are better than screen doors when it comes to overall protection.
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.
Most solar screens last 10 to 15 years, depending on the material quality, exposure to weather, and the level of maintenance. High-quality materials and regular cleaning can extend their lifespan, while harsh climates or neglect may shorten it. Routine cleaning, inspecting for damage, and avoiding harsh cleaners can help extend the lifespan of your screens.
Whether you should repair or replace a screen door depends on the type and extent of the damage. It is easy and economical to repair a small tear in the mesh using a widely available DIY patch kit. However, if there are large tears, multiple damaged spots, or if the screen is made of a specialized material, replacing the entire screen mesh might be a better long-term investment for a tidier appearance. You should also consider the condition of the frame; if the frame itself is damaged, it's likely time to replace the entire door. Other factors to weigh include whether you want a new style or need a more durable door.
Yes, if you have ventilated skylights, you can install insect screens on them. Insect screens for skylights cost $10 to $50 each, depending on their size and quality. Most pros highly recommend insect screens for ventilated skylights because they keep pests outside of your home while allowing fresh air inside.
