"Yeager Home Improvement was very good at what they do, I hired them to install exterior doors on a very old home that has oddball measurements, they rolled with the modifications they had to do like the real professionals they are"
"The job was completed in around 4 days. I had them install a brand new concrete driveway and garage floor. Workers were polite and efficient. Willing to work with you while they prepare for the pour. Deal with changes you would like (I.E curved forms for walkways ect..) They got all permits needed quickly, delt with the city directly, & made sure everything was done to code. Will definitely be using this company for future concrete work."
"Steve Nemec called me immediately after I requested a quote from Angi’s website. Upon talking with Steve over the phone describing my request for a contractor and the type of storm/screened exterior door we had purchased locally from a DYI store, Steve quoted a price for install and said he could do the installation same day within a hour of our discussion. Steve arrived under a hour and needed less than 30 minutes to install the exterior door. We were pleased with Steve’s work, professionalism, quality, service, and willingness to complete the installation same day! Thank you, Steve."

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
If you’re not keen on using a traditional doggie door, there are some alternatives. One popular option is a solid, insulated door that you can lock when you’re out of the home for added security. You can also opt for a doggie screen, which you can lift and lower to allow your pooch access to the outdoors. These are a bit more convenient to use than a regular exterior door, although security could be an issue. You can also install a screen door with a small opening for your pup to prevent bugs from coming inside as your dog exits.
The average cost to screen-in your patio ranges from $2,000 to $4,000. How much you spend depends on the size of your patio, the materials used, and construction complexity. Some patio screen room kits are easy to DIY, but you may need to hire a local screened-in porch builder and obtain permits for more complex designs.
While the telltale signs can vary for different types of screen doors, it may be time to learn how to install a screen door if you're noticing rotting, warping, or splintering accompanying the sagging. If you’re unsure whether to replace a sagging screen door, consult a local screen door pro for an inspection and final decision.
It’s possible to make minor screen repairs yourself using a waterproof adhesive for small tears or a screen patch kit for larger tears and holes. However, it’s usually a better option to call in a professional window technician. It’s very easy to use too much waterproof glue, resulting in a messy appearance that might demand a full replacement anyway. A screen repair technician will not only be able to carry out clean repairs and patches that aren’t obvious, but they can also let you know if replacing your screen is a more cost-effective option.
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.
