"We are SO happy with our new windows and patio door. We replaced all but one patio door (now wish we did). So excited to have the new windows in, and before Thanksgiving. The crew worked diligently, and took a lot of care with installing the windows. They were friendly and very professional. Couldn't have worked out better."
"Brian showed up on time, did a great job with the window installation, and was really pleasant to work with. We plan on contacting him for future house projects."
"I replaced all my windows and a sliding door through Lynnrich. My experience was above average from start to finish. Chaney and Joey were so great to work with on the planning and scheduling detail. Chuck and Dalton did an amazing job with the install, kept a clean job site and were very respectful. Each person I came into contact with on the phone or in person was friendly, kind and patient. I am so thankful I went with Lynnrich and I would highly recommend them!"

"The three man crew arrived at 8 am and got started immediately and installed 5 more windows(2nd time I hired them). They were finished by 12:30pm and were fast, efficient and very clean. they put down plastic and hauled away all the old windows and trash."
"I hired Shawn for some basic repairs (replacing exhaust fan, fixing molding, door repair, etc.) and he did an excellent job. Based on his expertise, pricing and quality of work I had him replace the flooring in my rental. He did an excellent job. I just kept giving him more tasks a d jobs until my renal looked phenomenal and I was able to place it in the market. So glad to have found him as I know I’ll use him for many jobs in the future."
"We enjoyed Tyler coming to our home he was very respectful and though I was approved for the windows that I loved. I just felt it was best to wait until a later time."
"WOW! Groundworks is a great, reliable company! We had the dream team, Ryan, Alejando (Alex) and Jose, working on our home. Ryan kept us informed on what was going on the during the whole project. Ryan and Alex were so reassuring of all our fears and concerns, we knew we were in good hands. Alex and Jose were so polite and talk about hard working!! All three of them went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations, saving some landscaping we didn't expect to be saved. They took great care with our landscaping and yard and did not cause any unexpected damage to any of it! They did a great job with the clean-up at the end of the job as well. These three men worked great together as a team. We were happy to see them everyday and a little sad when we said good bye."
"Andrew came out very quickly. I got a quote and the work was done in just a few days. (He was able to squeeze my small job in between several larger jobs.) I would hire him again."

Window Door Contractors 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.
You can add any type of window to a brick house, so long as the window has proper support. Windows with wider openings and windows in brick walls will need a lintel to support the extra weight above the window frame. A lintel is a support beam that distributes the weight from above evenly around the window.
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.
Window screen repair costs an average of $310, with a typical range of $100 to $480. The final price depends on several factors, including the window size, accessibility, screen type, whether the frame needs replacement, and especially the screen material.
The cost of window screen materials varies widely based on durability and features:
Fiberglass: $35–$200
Aluminum: $50–$300
Copper: $90–$850
Stainless Steel: $45–$400
Brass: $100–$900
Solar: $55–$850
Security: $100–$1,000
Vinyl: $25–$120
Costs also differ by screen type. For instance, a prefabricated screen might cost only $40, moveable screens typically run $25 to $75, and retractable screens range from $300 to $900. To save money, you can choose more affordable materials like vinyl or fiberglass, opt to rescreen instead of replacing the entire frame, and have multiple screens repaired at once to reduce labor costs.
No, it’s not safe to leave a doggy door open. It might be more convenient, especially at night when you just want to lay in bed. However, when you leave it open, it increases the chance of other critters getting in without your knowledge. Also, it leaves your pup unsupervised for hours at a time.
