"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
Awning windows can have screens, but it depends on your manufacturer. If your awning window does have a screen, it will be on the interior side so it doesn’t get in the way when you crank the window open. Having the screen on the inner part of the window also makes it easier to clean from inside your home.
Solar screens are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washing, as these can damage the mesh. Inspect screens annually for tears or loose frames to maintain performance. In dusty or coastal areas, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent buildup.
Most window screens last for about 10 to 12 years, assuming they are made from quality materials and receive proper care. The lifespan of common materials like fiberglass and aluminum can vary based on weather exposure, as constant sun or harsh winters can accelerate wear and tear. Regular cleaning and basic maintenance can help extend their life. Signs that a screen needs to be replaced include rips, tears, brittle or sagging material, fading, or a bent frame. While small tears can often be repaired, larger areas of damage typically mean it's time to replace the entire screen.
Many kinds of window screens, such as solar screens, are designed to reduce the amount of harmful ultraviolet rays that pass through them and enter your home. The materials typically have UV-blocking properties. However, they may not completely eliminate all UV rays from passing through your home. Different window screens are designed for different purposes, and not all are designed to block or reduce UV rays. Do your research to make sure you’re getting the type of window screen to suit your needs.
Tears, holes, or difficulty in opening and closing suggest a need for repair.
