"Project Task: Install or Replace an Asphalt Shingle Roof & Windows Installation. We have not had our windows installed yet, but I believe they will be great. Josie Layton explained about the company, what to expect during the estimate, and what they do. She was very friendly and courteous and showed great excitement with her job and the company. Dustin Christensen and Brodie Davis have been awesome and made multiple trips to our home which is a couple of hours away to make sure that we were getting exactly what we wanted at a price we could afford. They all made us feel like more than just another customer and spent lots of time talking and actually getting to know us. The only drawback is that Dustin and Brodie are Raiders and Chiefs fans."
"Bill provided a clear and reasonable quote on the job when the windows arrived Kenny and Kelton on did a fine job on the installation, trim replacement and cleanup. Very happy with this job and will certainly use them again for phase 2."
"Jim with North Alabama Technical Services removed some items from my computer so that I could send emails and attend to items I needed to address that day. As planned, the next day he thoroughly cleaned my computer, he also made helpful suggestions while working on my computer. I would call him again if needed and I thought the fee was reasonable."
"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
"I love my new door! It took us a few weeks to get in synch to get the door measured and ordered, but once the scheduler was back from vacation, everything went without a hitch. The installers were professional and fast! They cleaned up completely before they left. And because I was able to be flexible, they called me when they had a cancellation, so my door was installed at least a week sooner than I expected. I am very happy with their service and price."
"Contractor was very responsive to come and give me a detailed estimate and tell me exactly what to expect. They showed me the product info, etc.... When the installers came, they worked hard and efficiently and did a great job. We are happy with the service, and windows. I've already recommended them to someone else. They also followed up with me and filled out my energy tax credit paperwork for me. Thanks, Mark Powers"

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Common problems include leaks, broken glass, and damaged frames. Regular maintenance prevents extensive damage.
Window seals don’t last forever, so they’ll inevitably fail for one reason or another. One of the most common reasons is the expansion and contraction of the glass. When the glass gets warm from sunlight, it expands and adds pressure to the seal; at night, as the glass cools, it contracts. This process, day in and day out, can eventually cause the seal to fail. Other common sources of failure include the house settling over time, chemicals that damage the seal when repainting windows, and incorrect window installation.
Solar screens use a thick mesh of polyester to block out the UV waves and solar heat. While they are more expensive at about $7.50 per square foot, they can protect your porch or hardwood floors from sun damage and keep the room or porch on the other side of the patio cool.
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.
Most window screens in residential homes are designed to be removed from the inside, especially with double-hung, single-hung, and casement styles. That said, some setups require exterior removal. Older homes or custom installs may have exterior clips or brackets, and sunscreens are almost always mounted on the outside. Before removing your window screen, look at how it is held in place.
