"Jim responded promptly to my order placed on Angie's List for the Remote Computer Tune Up & Repair Deal. He cleaned up the computer remotely, which was running very slowly, and required frequent re-boots. Computer is running much faster now. Great service. Would highly recommend.
"It went great! I called and they were out the very next day measuring and installing new screens in my home. The customer service was outstanding and the installers were very friendly and polite. The prices were much lower than all of the other window companies in the area. I will definitely be using them again."
"We are extremely pleased with our experience with Wheaton Door & Window (WDW). We had interviewed a few door & window companies to replace our 1977-vintage windows and doors in a 2 level condo. While everyone could replace the windows, it proved difficult to find a provider for the French doors, which were of a size that nobody carries anymore. This regrettably put us in expensive custom-made land. Peter (the salesman) gave a great in-home demonstration of replacement windows and after a couple hours was able to find an option for the French doors and the screen doors (which surprisingly were even more difficult to find than the glass-paned doors!) This was in stark comparison to another contractor who had no solution for the French doors, and the price was substantially less than what a nationally-known window company quoted me for its windows and custom French doors. Peter was also cognizant of the condo community's architectural requirements and made sure the doors and windows would comply. After placing the order and putting 1/3 down, Joe came and measured. Before WDW placed the order with the custom supplier, Joe came back and measured a second time, which gave us great comfort that things would be done right the first time. After placing the order, our condo suffered a casualty that took several weeks to repair. When WDW received the doors and windows, they patiently held them until the restoration work was completed. Amber and Bobbie from the installation department checked in periodically while the work was being done to keep tabs on when the installation could begin. Once I gave the word, Chris and his crew installed the windows and the very tedious doors over a 1 and a half day period. They had great attention to detail, going so far as to repaint some nicked areas around the doors. The installation and the product are both proving to be outstanding. The condo now retains heat so well that the heat pump rarely kicks on (even when the outside temperature fell through the 30s last night), and sounds from outside are nearly imperceptible. On top of all of the outstanding work, they let us pay with a credit card for no extra charge, giving us bonus frequent flier miles. So from sales pitch to installation to the ease of payment, WDW was great to work with. We are now big fans and highly recommend them for door and window replacement. "
"Jay came out within hours of my call. He advised me that it would not be cost effective to repair my old doors. I will follow his recommendation and get new doors, but I appreciate his responsiveness and advice."
"Oddly enough, it was when Home Services - VA was reporting to my home to complete a scheduled project that a crack in the casing around the bay window was identified. Home Services - VA commented how easy the project would be to complete and recommended the work be corrected as soon as possible to minimize the water damage.
The project was completed in a day. Home Services - VA arrived with all the equipment needed to remove the old material and repair the damage. All damaged material was removed by Home Services - VA. The project was conducted in the front of the townhome. The project drew an audience and several neighbors enlisted Home Services - VA to get their bay windows repaired."

Window Screen Repair questions, answered by experts
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 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.
Whether you should repair or replace a screen door depends on the type and extent of the damage. It is easy and economical to repair a small tear in the mesh using a widely available DIY patch kit. However, if there are large tears, multiple damaged spots, or if the screen is made of a specialized material, replacing the entire screen mesh might be a better long-term investment for a tidier appearance. You should also consider the condition of the frame; if the frame itself is damaged, it's likely time to replace the entire door. Other factors to weigh include whether you want a new style or need a more durable door.
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.
Window seals don’t last forever, so they’ll inevitably fail for one reason or another. One of the most common reasons is the expansion and contraction of the glass. When the glass gets warm from sunlight, it expands and adds pressure to the seal; at night, as the glass cools, it contracts. This process, day in and day out, can eventually cause the seal to fail. Other common sources of failure include the house settling over time, chemicals that damage the seal when repainting windows, and incorrect window installation.
