"The windows, Vytex Potomac, are excellent and the crew installed 10 windows in one day. My wife and I couldn’t be happier. I would like to put a special shout-out to the crew. They worked well together and looked like they enjoyed their craft. They were also very kind and went above and beyond just installing my windows. One of the crew members even readjusted my screen door. It used to shut hard but works perfectly now. My wife told him doors were not part of the job and he said that he just wanted to do it. The professionalism, attention to detail, cleanliness and topped off by kindness…. A home owner would be hard pressed to find a better outfit to get windows from. Thanks for the great windows and the great experience. Sincerely, Joe Stokes."
"We just bought our house this last year and knew we needed some new windows so it worked out well when a canvasser from perfect steel knocked on my door. We set up an appointment and Zach came out and really explained the process well. We decided to get 4 new windows and we couldnâ t be happier! The windows are wonderful and the installers cleaned up very well after it was all said and done! We would absolutely recommend this company!"
"OBA did a great job installing an egress window. Cleaned up job site and everything was explained fully both prior and at the end of job. No surprises! Wish they also did drywall services. Jaylon C and Blake B were polite, efficient, professional and friendly to my two dogs. Would use this company again."
"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!"
"Could not be happier with the service from Mark and his team at Professional Roofing Solutions! Mark easily explained everything that would be happening during the project and answered all our questions professionally! They were very reasonably priced and did the job quicker than we had imagined!"
"We highly recommend Home Pro Windows Siding & Doors! They replaced the front exterior facade of our house. Replacing our aging cedar siding with HARDIEPLANK. The work was high quality, on budget and even finished ahead of schedule. The crew was friendly and cleaned up after themselves too. Excellent customer service and the house looks great. We received four quotes from different construction companies and are so glad we chose Home Pro Windows Siding & Doors for the job. Home Pro will definitely be asked to do more work for us in the future."
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
The most affordable way to screen in a porch is to add a base track system to an existing wooden frame. The whole process should cost around $2,000 for supplies, depending on the size of your porch. It’s much pricier to build a screened-in porch or sunroom from scratch—and you’ll probably need to hire a contractor for a project like that.
Many windows carry warranties from the manufacturer or installer that may cover the cost of repairs for a fixed amount of time. When installing or replacing windows, ask about any applicable warranties, what kinds of damage and repair they may cover, and what the procedure is for making a warranty claim.
The cost ultimately depends on size, but roughly, the most popular screen materials will set you back anywhere from around $0.25 to over $25 per square foot. Fiberglass and aluminum are usually less expensive at around $0.25 to $0.70 per square foot. Solar screens cost about $7.50 to $15 per square foot, while security screens range from around $10 to $25 per square foot.
Most standard windows can accommodate solar screens, but specialty shapes or non-standard frames may require custom solutions. It’s important to consult with a professional to ensure compatibility and proper fit for unique window designs. Arched, bay, and fabricated windows often need fabricated screens, which can increase costs and lead time.
Rescreening your porch can take a few hours to a whole day, depending on the size of the enclosure and the amount of screen that needs replacing. If you decide to have a professional handle the rescreening, be sure to get a timeline and a cost estimate so you know how long you’ll be without the screened-in space.
