"Their customer service is just great. They were responsive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my satisfaction with the new windows."
"I contacted their sales rep who worked with me over a period of a few months to set this plan in motion. He was very helpful, honest and attentive. I appreciated that he didn't hound us for the sale. Once installation day came, the team showed up on time. They were very neat, and very very polite. We were impressed at how efficiently this team performed together. It was clear that they had their routine down to an art. They took out the old windows and put the new ones in a very efficient manner in the middle of January!! They worked so diligently that our house never even cooled. The windows fit and look great. They did a nice job of cleaning up, both inside and outside the house. And they finished all of this in one day. Start to finish, I believe they installed everything in 6-7 hours! I cannot say enough good things about this whole experience. And they charged less than half the price of their local competition! I can't wait to recommend them to my friends and family. "
"Andrew did a great job in removing and installing three interior door frames, doors and casing. He explained everything that he was going to be doing pre job start and answered my questions along the way. When he was finished the installed doors/frames and casings looked great and he cleaned the work areas very well.
I would recommend him highly for quotes and work"
"This company has excellent windows, doors, and service. The installers did a fantastic job with installation and clean up. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!"
"The installers were great. The salesperson made promises that he did not keep and he missed a window. When the person came to measure he also didn’t catch that I was having all my windows done except one. The windows look great. The response when I notified the co that one window was missed was very fast but added to my cost."
"Chris is an amazing worker and came in and worked fast. He was super nice and described exactly what he’d be doing. He’s redone my disposal (kitchen) and my faucet in the main bathroom. He is definitely the first person I would recommend to anyone needing home improvement!!"
"We signed a contract with Cronkhite Home Solutions to have windows and siding installed. After the kitchen window was put in we contacted Shayne Diebel because it was not level and it was also not finished well. There were gaps left in the wood and knotholes in the trim they put around the inside of the window. We decided we would rather have a different window and we were given an estimate, but he never came by with a contract. When they came out to put in the front door Lowes did not have the French door kit to go with the storm doors. The worker told me that the boss wanted the last $1000 for the job but since the storm doors werenâÂÂt in I was uncomfortable paying for the rest of the job since the job wasnâÂÂt done. I paid him $500. Once I got the storm doors straightened out with Lowes I texted Shayne and the worker who installed the door. Shayne replied telling me someone would take care of it. Lowes started calling every couple of days and whenever they called, I would text the contractor to let him know that the doors needed to be picked up. This went on for about three months. I finally texted them saying that it was obvious that they were not interested in finishing the job and I may as well keep the last $500 to hire another contractor to finish the job. I never got a reply. On the first windy day after the siding was installed, a piece of aluminum fascia board fell off the eaves over the garage. I texted repeatedly and included a picture. Shayne kept telling me the guys would take care of it. To date nothing has been done. Working with this contractor has been frustrating experience. We would just like to have the work completed."
"I am a very happy customer! I want to thank Wes Glasgow for all his help deciding how to solve my problems and answering all my many questions! He is great! I had my basement waterproofed and Alex, Augie, Damon, Ty were wonderful and very accommodating to my needs. My basement is my place of business. It is now dry with the help of my new sump pump, and my Sedona keeps my humidity in check. I also had my bowing wall anchored. It was a source of anxiety to my home and business. Jonathan H and Kevin came in and anchored the wall and put covers over the anchors. They did a super job, the wall looks great, and we feel safe! All "my" men were wonderful! They were efficient, thoughtful, helpful, kind and considerate of me and my business. I would recommend them and the company to my family and friends."
"Very happy with the job E squared construction did replacing the porch. Matt kept me informed every step of the way. I will definitely call him again!!"
"David gave me what I thought was a fair price for the work to be done. He asked for 1/2 up front. As a previous small business owner I did not feel this was unreasonable so I paid him 500.00. He estimated the work would take 3 to four days and I thought the same. After several no shows the "mason" showed up. The first clue was he came in a car. According to my wife he was here 2 hours and left, came back for another 2 hours the next day and left again. He said nothing to my wife about leaving or when he would be back. David called a day later to ask about coming out to look over the job and get the rest of the other 500.00. I said he isn't finished and he's only been here 4 hours. So then I looked up the prevailing wage in IL for a mason and found out it is 28.50 an hour. The next day the guy comes back for another 3 hours. David came to look at the work and I walked him around and showed him all of the places that had not been done. So the guy comes back again for about an hour. All told it was 8 hours work, nothing to write home about but it was agreed up front that I wasn't looking for an exposed brick look. I need it tuck pointed well enough so that I could drylock and paint the exposed brick. I will say this was done in the end. The worker left a mess that I and my wife had to clean up, I pointed this out to David as well. I told him I felt he was overly paid for the amount of work preformed and that was the end of it. It's really to bad. It's difficult to get contractors to do small jobs and I had plenty for him to do. I'm not unhappy, just would not hire again"
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they’re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn’t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.
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.
If your door has interchangeable inserts, you’ll likely want to swap the glass out for a screen during the summer months. The process to do so will vary by door, but you’ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips—the plastic strips running down both long (and sometimes all four) sides of the door. Then gently pull them out by hand. Carefully remove the glass insert from the door and replace it with the screen. Finally, push the plastic retainer strips back into place, working from top to bottom.
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.
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.
