"The whole service was great. The window replacement was a little slow because the installer had health problems. BUT, the installation was GREAT! It was about a week after the promised timeline. I contracted them to replace our siding because of a hail storm that damaged our aluminum siding. We opted to replace the siding with vinyl siding and it was a super installation. We also opted to replace our garage doors and openers. The contractors arrived at 5:30 pm and were finished at 7:30 pm. I was amazed. A great crew. All of the people involved were very professional. We will contract with them if we have projects in the future. Stan and Marilyn"
"The locksmith, Sam, arrived punctually. He installed a new storm door lock and additionally repaired the face hole of another door lock which had been installed by someone else years ago & needed repair. The price was a bit high, but the professional workmanship was worth it."

"WIndows and doors were installed quickly. The old windows and scrap was removed and our new windows make our home seem new. I highly recommend Prime Home Remod to those looking for new windows and doors."
"Several of the 8 windows don't operate well and at least one has an obvious but easily repaired defect. Hanson's is sending out a repairman, but it would be better if the installer automatically reported these issues instead of the homeowner having to do it."
"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!"
"I like to give credit where credit is do & let me tell youâ ¦ I am beyond impressed with Your Home Improvement Company. We recently purchased a home & discovered during the harsh winter months that our windows and patio door where causing HUGE energy losses. I did a bunch of research & read HUNDREDS of reviews on various window companies & decided to set up a meeting with Your Home Improvement Company. Our salesman Tom was absolutely professional & went through all the options with us. Now YHIC wasnâ t the cheapest bid we had gotten but the level of quality of materials and the amazing warranty was the reason we chose them. The crew that installed all 9 windows and patio door were just as equally awesome. They made sure all our floors & carpet were covered & they did a great job of cleaning everything up after they were done!! They didnâ t even mind working around 3 German Shepherds! I ABSOLUTELY recommend Your Home Improvement Company for all your home improvement needs! Looking forward to working with them on our next projects! Thank you Your Home Improvement Company for all your hard work! We LOVE our new windows & patio door!!"
"Gary communicated very well, which I think makes a huge difference when working with a new contractor for the first time. He was thorough in the job as well as with his communication. He completed the job in a very timely manner and was extremely trustworthy. He was honest when it came to pricing and the timeline in which he could finish the job. He offered suggestions for different looks of what I wanted and more cost-efficient ideas. It was an overall seamless process for me in terms of working with Gary, and I was beyond happy with the result of the project"
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
It is generally recommended to remove window screens for the winter, especially in climates with heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures. Removing them helps prevent damage to the screen mesh and frames that can be caused by ice and moisture buildup between the screen and the window. Taking out the screens also allows more natural light and warmth into your home during shorter winter days and makes it easier to clean your windows thoroughly. In warmer climates where harsh weather is not a concern, the decision is more about personal preference; some homeowners prefer the clearer view, while others leave them in for convenience.
Options include fiberglass, aluminum, and pet-resistant screens to suit different needs.
While the benefits of garage door screens usually outweigh the downsides, there are some cons to installing one. First off, they can be quite expensive, especially if you’re having a professional install a retracting screen or a custom size screen. Second, they let fresh air and natural light in, but they also don’t provide the same privacy from people in the neighborhood that a solid door does. As you might guess, screens also won’t insulate your garage, so they’re often not usable in colder weather.
There are different types of screen materials available when purchasing a screen door, but the two main options are fiberglass and aluminum. Fiberglass is lightweight and affordable, but can stretch out, so it needs to be replaced more often. Aluminum has a higher upfront cost, but is more sturdy. Aluminum can be more difficult to install, even if you know how to replace screen door mesh.
A garage door screen can be a worthwhile investment, especially if you frequently use your garage for activities like a home gym, workshop, or other hobbies. It allows you to enjoy fresh air and natural light without worrying about bugs. Additionally, a screen provides ventilation that can improve air quality when you're working with paints, varnishes, or producing sawdust.
The best option depends on your usage. For occasional use, a DIY fabric screen is a low-cost, simple solution that you can put up and take down as needed. If you plan to spend a lot of time in the space, investing in a customized, professionally installed garage door screen can help transform the area into a new hub for your household.
