"Peter was very professional through the entire transaction from providing a quote, scheduling, notification of arrival, and service. I had some window screen and a sliding screen door that needed rescreening or full replacement. Due to Peter’s experience and ability to problem solve, we were able to work through some odd scenarios that came up with my windows. The door and window screens came out perfect! Thank you Peter!"
"A wonderful experience all around! We had 15 windows and a sliding glass door replaced. Our Salesperson, Harlan, was very professional and explained the benefits of the new windows and all about Power as a company. The installers arrived on time and completed the entire job in a day! Everything was installed perfectly and the crew was courteous and cleaned up after themselves. Erin came to visit the next day to make sure everything was up to their standards and addressed any questions we had. Most certainly the best experience we've ever had with a home contractor. Highly Recommend!"
"I hired Angel and his crew to install retrofit windows and frameless shower doors for a shower enclosure, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They were extremely professional from start to finish, showed up on time, communicated well, and delivered high-quality workmanship. Their pricing was very fair and reasonable, especially considering the level of detail and professionalism they brought to the project. I’ve worked with many contractors over the years, and Angel has become my go-to glazier for both rehab projects and new construction work. I highly recommend Angel and his crew to anyone looking for quality glass and window installation work."

"I didn't think we were going to buy windows today, but Jamar and Emilio showed us the reasons why it was beneficial to have our windows replaced. We liked the deal they offered, and we are happy to have the work done by a great company with such impressive and knowledgeable employees."
"Rafael was great! He was very polite, attentive and quick. He arrived on time and figured out the issue with our door immediately and went to Home Depot to get the materials needed. He was efficient and fairly priced. We will use him for future services!
¡Rafael fue genial! Fue muy amable, atento y rápido. Llegó puntual y solucionó el problema de nuestra puerta de inmediato. Fue a Home Depot a comprar los materiales necesarios. Fue eficiente y nos ofreció precios justos. ¡Lo contrataremos en el futuro!"
"I have an older home build in the 70's and still had the original single pane windows and sliding doors. I called four places around town to get quotes and to see how much it would cost me. Universal Solutions Windows & Doors was by far the best quote as well as the best product. They were very knowledgeable in windows and doors, and they didn’t try and to put a fast one over me. They explained everything to me in respects on how windows and doors can drastically change how your home functions and operates. I also had a two story home with burglar bars, and they didn’t try ripping me off by adding other fees like other companies tried to with removal of bars and two story hazard fees. They were very honest and I am very happy with the work they did. I have already noticed about $100 - $150 decrease in my monthly power bill compared to last year. Totally worth the investment for comfort and savings."

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Common problems include leaks, broken glass, and damaged frames. Regular maintenance prevents extensive damage.
Most windows last for 15 to 30 years, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it’s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:
Leaks
Drafts
Difficulty opening or closing
Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills
Outdoor noise becomes more audible
Signs of physical damage
Window screens are available in several standard sizes. Common dimensions include 24 to 36 inches wide by 36 to 48 inches tall, as well as sizes like 18 by 14 inches and 20 by 20 inches. These often correspond to standard window sizes, such as 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall or 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. Screens are also sold in replacement rolls to accommodate various dimensions. It is always best to measure your windows for accuracy before a repair or replacement. If your windows are a non-standard size, you will likely need to order custom screens, which can increase the cost. However, a screen does not necessarily have to fit the entire window, so you may be able to use a standard-size screen even if your window is slightly larger.
Screen doors have a positive ROI because of their safety features. They add protection from debris, critters, and, depending on the material, even heat. However, storm doors are better than screen doors when it comes to overall protection.
You can trim an overhead garage door screen to fit your garage door opening. This is a particularly helpful hack if you have an irregularly sized garage door opening but are still interested in installing a garage door screen to keep pests and debris out. Trim the garage door screen carefully to avoid unsightly edges or an uneven fit.
