"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
Solar screens are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washing, as these can damage the mesh. Inspect screens annually for tears or loose frames to maintain performance. In dusty or coastal areas, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent buildup.
Window screens can help keep some heat out of your home, which is one benefit of using them in summer. It’s also the reason experts suggest removing your screens in winter—so it’s easier for the sun’s warmth to filter into your home. This will keep you cozier and potentially reduce your heating bills.
While sometimes used interchangeably, screen doors and storm doors have key differences. Screen doors are simple structures, typically composed of just a frame and a screen, designed to keep out bugs while allowing air circulation. In contrast, storm doors are heavier and more complex, built to protect your home's main entry door from weather and intruders. They usually feature an aluminum frame with interchangeable tempered glass and screen panels, allowing you to switch between ventilation and insulation. A storm door offers more protection and versatility but generally costs more than a basic screen door.
Solar screens use a thick mesh of polyester to block out the UV waves and solar heat. While they are more expensive at about $7.50 per square foot, they can protect your porch or hardwood floors from sun damage and keep the room or porch on the other side of the patio cool.
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.
