"These guys did a great job resetting our front door. They were extremely professional, fast, and got the job done. I’m looking forward to hiring them for our next project!"
"I was very pleased with Sentry Access, from start to finish. I had the opener replaced. My older garage door (20+ years old) now operates and sounds like a new door. Richard, the technician who did the work, did an outstanding job on both the install and the "tune-up" of the door. I am 100% satisfied with the work from this company, and highly recommend them."
"Everyone I talked to via phone or arrived at my house to measure or install was wonderful to work with. I look forward to buying closet doors and a new front door from them. They were exceptional in their service."
"Fantastic, I could not recommend this company more, Lon was very attentive to what I was saying during our walk through so he could find the right solution to our problem. We replaced approx 30% of the T-11 siding on my house in Antelope, replaced all the trim affected by dry rot and replaced the windows/slider. As they were sealing the new windows we could already tell the difference in the noise and how warm the sun felt through the glass. Brian was the lead installer for the windows and Ken for the siding project and they extremely knowledgeable and were fine with working around our 3 big dogs who had to go outside for bathroom breaks."
"The Handy Man came to a family rental property to completely redo the flooring after some pet damage and removed dry rot, broken windows and more! They were very professional and quick to action with with response time and quick completion time! Kept myself and the family updated with the progress. Was very clear when he evaluated the extent of the damage. If anyone if looking for any work to be done on their home or properties I highly recommend The Handy Man!!!"
"Angel did an amazing job remodeling my master shower and floors. He was attentive and worked efficiently, keeping me updated throughout the process. I will definitely reach out to him again for any future home projects. I have friends who are wanting his services when they are ready to remodel their floors and bathrooms."
"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."
"Dustin C. @ DaBella Boise helped us choose the right windows for our application and personally monitored progress from order to completion. The finished product looks great, but the best part is instantly seeing and feeling the difference between modern tech vs. 40y old aluminum framed windows. No more drafts or condensation! Thanks DaBella!"
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
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.
Yes, a variety of screen materials cut out glare from the sun. Solar screen material can block up to 90% of the glare and heat from the sun, saving on cooling costs. It also offers privacy yet unlimited outward visibility. The cost depends on the size of the screen roll, but solar screens cost between $25 and $90 per roll.
Tears, holes, or difficulty in opening and closing suggest a need for repair.
Most window screens last for about 10 to 12 years, assuming they are made from quality materials and receive proper care. The lifespan of common materials like fiberglass and aluminum can vary based on weather exposure, as constant sun or harsh winters can accelerate wear and tear. Regular cleaning and basic maintenance can help extend their life. Signs that a screen needs to be replaced include rips, tears, brittle or sagging material, fading, or a bent frame. While small tears can often be repaired, larger areas of damage typically mean it's time to replace the entire screen.
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.
