"Exceptional Work and Versatility! Creative Cabinetry recently completed an exterior project for us, installing a new entry door, a storm door, and replacing several damaged pieces of vinyl siding. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship are outstanding. The new doors look incredible, fit perfectly, and feel completely solid. The siding repair was seamless—you can’t even tell where the old pieces ended and the new ones began. The team was prompt, professional, left the job site spotless, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Don't let the name fool you—they do far more than just cabinets! If you need top-tier home improvement or repair work done right the first time, I highly recommend Creative Cabinetry."
"The crew was polite, efficient and completed all my windows and door replacement in 1 day. Covered my furniture and cleaned up behind. I am very happy with these windows and door!"
"Used American Waterworks to lift and level a front sidewalk that had settled over time. Company was very responsive as I worked through the planning and quoting process, and the price was better than 2 other companies. Appointment window was communicated in advance and they showed up right on time, did a quick and thorough job, and left the work site clean after. Recommend!"
"I want to give a huge shout-out to Derek Kragenbring from SafeBasements for his integrity and professionalism. We had persistent basement flooding, and two previous contractors convinced us to spend over $6,000 on a sump pump and humidifier. After the install, the flooding got worse, and they suggested tearing down our bathroom wall for more work. We called SafeBasements for a second opinion, and Derek quickly identified the real issue: our water softener was discharging water into a clogged drain. We didn't need a sump pump at all—just a simple plumbing fix! Thank you, Derek, for your honesty. You saved us from a massive headache and even more unnecessary expenses. We only wish we had called you sooner. If you need an honest, expert assessment, definitely reach out to Derek at SafeBasements!"
"I had new windows put in last year, the installer was awesome and my windows did a great job keeping the cold out and the noise. Really recommend this company!"

"He did an excellent job. He was very creative and added an 18 inch extended area in my bathroom for storage and a bench. He also added a beautiful garden window that really opened it all up beautifully. He did my total bathroom remodel and worked well and communicated well with the other contractors. He is very pleasant. He cares that I am happy with the project and works very hard to make it happen. With all of the challenges of Covid I would not have thought it could go so well or be so great. I would not hesitate for one moment to refer anyone to him."
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Most solar screens last 10 to 15 years, depending on the material quality, exposure to weather, and the level of maintenance. High-quality materials and regular cleaning can extend their lifespan, while harsh climates or neglect may shorten it. Routine cleaning, inspecting for damage, and avoiding harsh cleaners can help extend the lifespan of your screens.
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.
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.
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.
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.
