"Hired Bryon for second job to repair water damage, as well as replacing two screen doors on an old house. Bryon communicates well, arrives promptly and cleans up messes daily. I highly recommend his services."

"Great! Samuel did an amazing job. He and his helper cleaned windows, sills, and storms so that they absolutely sparkled. They removed all the storms to wash them, cleaned off the screens and washed the windows inside and out. They had to move furniture around here and there and did so carefully without causing damage. I work from home and they were quiet and courteous which I really appreciated so I did not lose a day of work. I was amazed they did such a good job and got it all done in one work day. The price I was quoted was right in between 2 others--one on the high end and one on the low end. I liked that Mel showed up personally to do the estimate, exactly when he said he would, demonstrated how the storms would be removed and cleaned, and told me the name of the person to expect and when he would arrive. I highly recommend and I will book them again in the spring."

"At first glance everything looks good. All the workers were nice. 
These are the problems:
  • During the job I noticed a window sill did not look sanded properly. I.E. they painted over the peeled paint though they said they sanded it. I believe they did sand it...just not enough. The chipped old paint was still visible. When I called it to the attention of one of the painters he sanded it down but did not address the same problem on the adjoining sill. 
  • Edges were irregular so after the job was over someone came back to repaint around some molding and the radiators to make edges straight.
  • A couple weeks later I had to pull the refrigerator out and noticed that one wall got only one coat of paint. Original paint was showing through. Had I not pulled out the refrigerator I never would have known. A painter came back a second time to fix that and paint under the soffit which had been missed.
  • I am currently putting up shades and have noticed that the tops of the windows and door jams were not painted at all. We're I not installing the shades I wouldn't have known it. I also noticed a large drip under the breakfast bar.
  • I continue to find paint splatter and drops on the floors and rug though to be fair, the painter who came the second or third time offered to wander around and clean up the drops on the floor. I didn't have time for it and I didn't think it was as extensive as I have since discovered.
  • Tape was only used when one of the painters came back to paint a tricky area but it would have helped to have used it in the first place. 

3/17/16 update: I continued to find paint drips everywhere. Additionally sills were not prepared properly so paint looks lousy there.

3/25/16 update: The owner called after I posted with the update and offered to remedy the situation and asked if I needed a room painted or if there was something else he could do. I was not at home so couldn't discuss it so he said he would call on the weekend. He never did.  One statement in the provider response is misleading. "...given the poor original condition of some surfaces..." is misleading. There was no difference in quality of similar surfaces; it was not extreme and if it were that bad I would have expected that at the outset additional costs would have been included in the estimate to repair it correctly. But the condition of the surfaces didn't warrant it. Moving on..."

Window Screen Repair questions, answered by experts

The steps to replace a retractable screen can vary, but these are the general steps: First, remove the screen cover to expose the screen mechanism and remove the clip that holds the screen in place. Next, depress the end of the screen mechanism so it releases from the door frame. Take your new screen and fit one end into the frame. You may need to rotate the mechanism to engage the spring before inserting the other end into the frame. Finally, pull the screen down the length of the door’s opening and lock it in place with the clip.

Options include fiberglass, aluminum, and pet-resistant screens to suit different needs.

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.

Some local utilities or state programs offer rebates or tax incentives for energy-efficient upgrades, including solar screens. Make sure to check with your local energy provider or government agency to see if you qualify for any cost-saving programs. Federal tax credits may also be available for qualifying window and exterior home upgrades.

It’s possible to make minor screen repairs yourself using a waterproof adhesive for small tears or a screen patch kit for larger tears and holes. However, it’s usually a better option to call in a professional window technician. It’s very easy to use too much waterproof glue, resulting in a messy appearance that might demand a full replacement anyway. A screen repair technician will not only be able to carry out clean repairs and patches that aren’t obvious, but they can also let you know if replacing your screen is a more cost-effective option.
