"Boise Window Medics were by far the least expensive of all the window replacement companies I interviewed. I paid exactly what they estimated for the 3 picture windows and 4 standard windows. They kept in touch with me, came on the appointed day, replaced the windows perfectly, and were extremely pleasant. I highly recommend them."
"We had 3 windows and a patio door installed. John W. and Trey K. did the patio door and Derrick A. & Hugo M. did the windows. They were professional, friendly and did an awesome job and made sure to clean up after they were finished. I would definitely recommend Renewal by Anderson."
"JBA Home - Jeff and Jerry did an excellent job replacing my sliding glass door with a French door. They were on-time, skilled, professional, caring, careful, and good communicators. All in all, a quality product for a very reasonable cost. From the initial call to the completed job, it was a pleasure working with Jeff and Jerry."
"Very prompt service to replace my screen on my screen door. Excellent work and reasonable price. I would highly recommend this company for screen repair."
"Arrived on time. Trouble shot the problem, found the problem, fixed it. My motion sensor needed to be re mounted after siding crew removed it. It wasn’t getting any juice. Works great now. He also attached the door bell button and replaced the chime box. He will be back to fix a span of my fence in the future."

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Awning windows can have screens, but it depends on your manufacturer. If your awning window does have a screen, it will be on the interior side so it doesn’t get in the way when you crank the window open. Having the screen on the inner part of the window also makes it easier to clean from inside your home.
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.
A vacuum with a hose attachment or a lint roller can easily remove dust from your window screen. Pressure washing window screens is another option, but you should make sure you have the appropriate nozzle and pressure setting to avoid doing extensive damage to your window.
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
Ensures proper fit and function, maximizing insect protection and airflow.
