"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 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.
It is generally recommended to remove window screens for the winter, especially in climates with heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures. Removing them helps prevent damage to the screen mesh and frames that can be caused by ice and moisture buildup between the screen and the window. Taking out the screens also allows more natural light and warmth into your home during shorter winter days and makes it easier to clean your windows thoroughly. In warmer climates where harsh weather is not a concern, the decision is more about personal preference; some homeowners prefer the clearer view, while others leave them in for convenience.
The cost ultimately depends on size, but roughly, the most popular screen materials will set you back anywhere from around $0.25 to over $25 per square foot. Fiberglass and aluminum are usually less expensive at around $0.25 to $0.70 per square foot. Solar screens cost about $7.50 to $15 per square foot, while security screens range from around $10 to $25 per square foot.
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.
Yes, you can fix windows without replacing them. However, this will depend on the severity of the issue and what your needs are. Minor water damage, broken glass, damaged casing, and worn caulking are usually easy repairs. But if there is excessive damage, the windows are constantly foggy, or the windows are very old, it’s best to consider replacing them. Replacement windows cost between $575 and $1,475 per window, or an average of $850 per window.
