"Walter did am excellent job of sealing a gap under my sliding door that was giving me water intrusion issues. He clearly explained what he was doing and offered suggestions for how to mitigate drainage issues that were contributing factors to the water intrusion. He was very professional, courteous, and cleaned up well after the job was done."
"We had all of our doors and windows replaced with M.A.S. Home Improvement. Everything turned out perfectly. Abdul and Salah were amazing to work with from beginning to end. Truly a seamless experience!"
"The workers were superb. They worked all day long in the most professional, efficient way imaginable, all harnessed in all the time. The roof was tight, extremely well constructed and ventillated. I had an experienced foreign visitor here who had never been much impressed by American workmanship before but she was incredibly enthusiastic about what she saw the Long Roofers doing. They did everything that had been promised, protected the facades of my house and the one next door, cleaned up so that you would never know they had been there and perhaps most telling of all were proud of their work. I could not have been more pleased and would recommend Long Roof to anyone. It was worth every penny."
"I have to say that Matt, Dave and Rich were amazing! They were professional, friendly and cleaned up after themselves! I will tell anyone I know looking for windows to call Rite Window for sure. Happy customer Darlene"
"After my house got broken into on Christmas, I needed to replace the shattered glass in my front door. I called a half dozen companies for estimates, and Glass Impressions was the clear winner -- despite being booked up for the week, the gentleman I spoke to recognized the urgency of my request and sent someone over the following morning to give me a quote. The quote was far better than every other company I spoke to and they were able to do the replacement then and there. All in all, very prompt and professional and I would definitely hire them again for future projects (hopefully under better circumstances)."
"New Image went far above what I expected. I am beyond pleased with the end product. On meeting with a few other contractors, only Mattew came prepared with any and all information necessary to explain the work and my options. New Image is extremely professional and attentive. It has been an absolute joy to have met and work with Matthew particularly, and to interact with his team. For me, there is no other company to recommend beside New Image. Thank you, Mathew and all associated with New Image."
"Forrest Capelli from Priceless Home Improvement replaced my roof and did an outstanding job. from start to finish Forrest took care of every detail from dealing with my insurance and inspectors the whole project went smoothly and painless. Forrest went the extra mile explaining everything with my wife and i. I would definitely recommend Forrest Capelli in the future. he is a true pro."
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.
Screen doors have a positive ROI because of their safety features. They add protection from debris, critters, and, depending on the material, even heat. However, storm doors are better than screen doors when it comes to overall protection.
Window screens can take anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour to replace, depending on the complexity of the replacement and the accessibility of the window. Replacing the screen inside an existing frame normally takes longer than replacing an entire screen, frame and all, if you purchase a prefabricated screen already mounted on the frame.
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.
Adding a window to a brick house costs $3,100 to $10,575. Because you’ll need to make changes to the structure of the home, the cost will include obtaining permits and hiring the best pros for this complex job. Larger windows will cost more to install, and the cost can vary based on the window frame material you choose.
