"Ryan and David were extremely professional with the installation of our new windows. Our home was built in 1950 and we still had the original windows, including a huge picture window. They took much care in keeping the mess of taking out the old windows, even when needing to use a saw for the picture window, at a minimum. We also were having both our screen doors replaced with new storm doors. During the process of installing the windows they realized that the storm doors were not on the truck. They could have asked to schedule another day for the installation of the doors, but instead David drove the hour and half back to their warehouse to get the doors and then back again while Ryan and his helper continued with the windows. During the installation of the doors, Ryan realized that the doors were not the correct sizes. They were not measured properly by the employee that had came to our home to take the measurements prior to the windows and doors being made. They were able to make adjustments for the front storm door, but were not able to install the side door. They apologized several times for not being able to install the second door even though it wasnâ t any fault of their own. He assured me that he would have someone contact me to correct the problem with the second door. As Ryan and David were finishing up with the job Megan, with customer service, contacted me to make sure we were satisfied with the work that had been done. I explained to her about the door and she too apologized and said that someone would call to correct the problem. I have been extremely happy with Universal Windows Direct. Even though their was an issue with the door measurements, everyone we have dealt with have been very professional and have went above and beyond to insure weâ ve had a great experience. I would recommend Universal Windows Direct to everyone that is wanting new windows and/or doors. We have been considering new siding on our home. If we decide to get new siding, we will be contacting Universal Windows Direct for that project as well."

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts

Most window screens last for about 10 to 12 years, assuming they are made from quality materials and receive proper care. The lifespan of common materials like fiberglass and aluminum can vary based on weather exposure, as constant sun or harsh winters can accelerate wear and tear. Regular cleaning and basic maintenance can help extend their life. Signs that a screen needs to be replaced include rips, tears, brittle or sagging material, fading, or a bent frame. While small tears can often be repaired, larger areas of damage typically mean it's time to replace the entire screen.

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.

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.  

Egress windows require regular maintenance to ensure they function correctly. This includes cleaning the glass, inspecting the frame and well for debris, and making sure the cover or well drains properly. It is also important to check that the window sills and wells are watertight and to inspect and repair any damage to the window frame or seals to prevent leaks and maintain functionality.

Many kinds of window screens, such as solar screens, are designed to reduce the amount of harmful ultraviolet rays that pass through them and enter your home. The materials typically have UV-blocking properties. However, they may not completely eliminate all UV rays from passing through your home. Different window screens are designed for different purposes, and not all are designed to block or reduce UV rays. Do your research to make sure you’re getting the type of window screen to suit your needs.
