"I hired EcoChamp to replacement 11 windows and a sliding patio door. Gus was very helpful and educational in the quoting process; he did a great job helping us understand options and price ranges. Pricing was very competitive, especially compared to two other companies on Angie's List. I would highly recommend Ecochamp!"

"From beginning to end this was a complete good experience. John came out and showed us the window and explained the process. After doing my research I have found the windows he uses to be excellent quality. Ordered the windows, 12 weeks to the date they were installed. The install was done in half a day. They team was very clean, helpful and complete. They answered all my questions and even let me watch! We noticed a difference within hours of sealing up the windows how cool my second story remained with the Energy Efficient windows in. I cleaned all of them with an easy process of sliding the clips and opening them. What a dream window and only wished we had done this ten years earlier. The windows were 29 years old, solid wood and clad. From the outside you can hardly tell the difference. These were a great purchase, and we are looking forward to having the other 13 windows done with Best Windows."

"The Chicago Window Guys is a great company to have install your windows and doors. the owner Russ came out and was not aggressive or pushy like other companies. He was patient and truly listened to what me needs were. Since I have a big home I wasn't able to have all my windows done at once. This was ok! Russ worked with my budget and I got a new patio door, kitchen window and living room window. I was concerned about how well they will block out noise since I live close to a train track. The door and windows are great at reducing noise and keeping my home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The installers were professional and did a great, high quality and thorough job. Will use this company again to get the rest of my windows done."

"Highly recommend Ultimate Remodelers. I had a small hodge-podge of work needing to be done that consisted of 4 new windows (existing ones were original to the 1940's house and rotting) and then having all the fascia around the house capped with aluminum (and replacing any rotting boards). I was having trouble finding a company to do the windows and the fascia together even though the one set of old windows were in a dormer with the fascia rotting out (and needing to be replaced with the windows) -- but Ultimate Remodelers took care of it all and for a reasonable price. Also appreciated them following up after the work was done to make sure we were 100% happy."

"Excel, did an excellent job answering our million questions and was courteous. We had an issue that wasn't Excel's fault. My wife wanted the patio doors that has the blinds inside the window. But the last update that Excel received from our village was it doesn't meet code. So we had to go with the regular patio doors. So once the windows and patio door was replaced, the village had to approve it. So as the village inspector was doing his job, I took it upon myself to ask why the village doesn't allow patio doors with blinds inside the windows. The inspector informed me that we can, the particular code was changed some time back. Excel wasn't aware of the change, so we immediately called Excel informing them of what we just heard. Excel without hesitation got us the windows that my wife originally wanted. Excel made my wife happy, which made me happy later on that night & that night our patio doors were changed to the ones she wanted!!! Thanks Excel!!"

"As a result of 2 torn knee ligaments, steep step down made this access very painful. Tom came over almost immediately to fully understand the job. He took measurements and helped me find a cost effective solution he could deliver. Pictures explain the job better, see before and after. Also, he made some great suggestions, like measuring the length of the car, and making the raised landing (approx. 6 feet square by about 5 inches high) a natural car stop (tells me when I have pulled in fully). Now, the 2 steps are easy to negotiate, and the garage floor is flush with the exterior door out to the yard (garage exit, see replaced white door). I would recommend Tom with zero reservations. Very easy to communicate with, great listener, takes immense pride in his work and really solved a big problem for me. He is appropriately friendly and very professional. It is also worth mentioning I called others to get a quote, and most didn't want to even bid, because the job was 'too small' (concrete needed to be mixed manually, didn't use a concrete mixer truck). Tom seemed to empathize with my knee discomfort and tried to get the job completed as quickly as possible. In fact, he stayed until nearly 9p to get the concrete poured. As a result of this huge lifestyle improvement, since this entry way is my primary access inside , from the attached garage, and also used several times a day to let dogs out, I am able to manage my knee discomfort and postpone inevitable surgery. Thanks Tom!"

"A wonderful experience all around! We had 15 windows and a sliding glass door replaced. Our Salesperson, Harlan, was very professional and explained the benefits of the new windows and all about Power as a company. The installers arrived on time and completed the entire job in a day! Everything was installed perfectly and the crew was courteous and cleaned up after themselves. Erin came to visit the next day to make sure everything was up to their standards and addressed any questions we had. Most certainly the best experience we've ever had with a home contractor. Highly Recommend!"

"We hired Luis and team to refinish the outdoor portion of our three season room and deck. Luis was great about communicating with me, as it was quite rainy for awhile this spring, and the project could not be scheduled until a stretch of dry weather. Luis and team completed the project beautifully and were respectful of my plants and things near the refinishing area. Luis took extra care to be sure that the color I wanted matched worked for me. They did a wonderful job. I plan to use them again in the future and I would highly recommend Luis Saenz."

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can replace the screen without removing the door in most cases depending on the frame holding the screen. Doors with removable spline and screen frames make it a snap to replace the mesh while the door remains in place. The best part is that it’s a simple DIY project requiring a few tools in addition to the screen material.

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. 

The screen material you choose depends on your needs. Here are some differences to consider:

  • Fiberglass is the least expensive but needs replacing more often.

  • Aluminum suits almost any job and doesn’t stretch as easily as fiberglass. 

  • Pet-resistant screens are more expensive than fiberglass or aluminum, but they’re also wind and weather-resistant. 

  • Metal screens, like stainless steel, are the most expensive material for rescreening your porch or sunroom. However, they last for years and are golf ball-resistant.  

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.

No, it’s not safe to leave a doggy door open. It might be more convenient, especially at night when you just want to lay in bed. However, when you leave it open, it increases the chance of other critters getting in without your knowledge. Also, it leaves your pup unsupervised for hours at a time.
