"Neftali, the owner, and an assistant installed a garbage disposal and repaired the handle of our kitchen sink faucet. Very knowledgeable. Explained that our faucet has a life-time warranty and he provided the model and serial number of the unit in order for us to call Kohler for a new assy. He was very good about keeping us informed of his approaching arrival time. Will definitely hire ASAP again when needed."

If we do not specialize in it, we will refer you to one of our dedicated contractors and trade professionals.

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
"Great crew, very polite and extremely professional. They arrived on time and replaced the rollers on five sliding doors in just under an hour. The two sliding screen doors came the next day and the crew arrived on time and installed the sliding screen doors in less than 20 minutes. All-in-all, this was a great experience and the price was right. We had another company give us a bid for the same work and they wanted $2,000.00. I think Acme Sliding Door Repair is, by far, the best sliding door repair company in the Palm Springs and surrounding desert area."

Window Screen Repair questions, answered by experts
Installing a basement window generally takes a few hours, assuming there are no structural issues you need to resolve first. If you’re a novice DIYer, the project could take longer; on the flip side, a licensed and trained window contractor may be able to replace multiple basement windows in the time it takes a homeowner to replace one.
Rescreening your porch can take a few hours to a whole day, depending on the size of the enclosure and the amount of screen that needs replacing. If you decide to have a professional handle the rescreening, be sure to get a timeline and a cost estimate so you know how long you’ll be without the screened-in space.
Most window screens in residential homes are designed to be removed from the inside, especially with double-hung, single-hung, and casement styles. That said, some setups require exterior removal. Older homes or custom installs may have exterior clips or brackets, and sunscreens are almost always mounted on the outside. Before removing your window screen, look at how it is held in place.
Most windows last for 15 to 30 years, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it’s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:
Leaks
Drafts
Difficulty opening or closing
Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills
Outdoor noise becomes more audible
Signs of physical damage
Window screens are available in several standard sizes. Common dimensions include 24 to 36 inches wide by 36 to 48 inches tall, as well as sizes like 18 by 14 inches and 20 by 20 inches. These often correspond to standard window sizes, such as 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall or 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. Screens are also sold in replacement rolls to accommodate various dimensions. It is always best to measure your windows for accuracy before a repair or replacement. If your windows are a non-standard size, you will likely need to order custom screens, which can increase the cost. However, a screen does not necessarily have to fit the entire window, so you may be able to use a standard-size screen even if your window is slightly larger.
