"Scott Harris is a real pro!!! We are dealing with a forced remodel that has been chaotic and we've been in a time crunch. Scott has been one of the few contractors that has been timely in responding to our questions and concerns. He's also well informed and has shown sensitivity to our situation. We feel a weight has lifted and we're confident in our window purchase. Thank you!"
"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."
"The lower sections of wood siding at various locations of our home needed replacement due to water damage. We also had TVE add some gutters in a few locations. We experienced scheduling difficulties and incorrect ordering with TVE. No communication on when the gutters would be installed. They just showed up. Then they dropped the trailer and left for about 4 hours. Couldn't get a hold of anyone that knew what was going on. Then they finally showed up again. They did, however, do a good job of installation. Initially we were told the exterior siding replacement would be done at the same time as the gutter additions. This didn't happen. Then we were told the install would happen when they install the windows. This did not happen. After several texts and phone calls, we did not hear back from TVE on when this work would be scheduled. Then they just showed up unscheduled. The installer informed us that the wrong quantity of panels was ordered and he could not finish the job, so he didn't start and just left. We ended up cancelling the work on the siding and going with another contractor. Kelly at TVE's apologized and was very professional. He informed me that they were very busy and were having scheduling issues. In response to this situation, he offered to install one of the exterior doors we were having them replace for free. The gesture was much appreciated and I appreciated the way they handled the matter even though my wife and I were very frustrated with the lack of communication, mis-ordering of materials, and scheduling difficulties."
"They came to the door and talked to my wife and I talked with them the following evening. They just gave us a bid on the job and it seemed reasonably fair but I went online to Angie's List website, they hadn't had much experience doing roofing. That's was just only part of the hesitation in using them at this point. They seem really professional and reasonably good."
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
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.
Window screen repair costs an average of $310, with a typical range of $100 to $480. The final price depends on several factors, including the window size, accessibility, screen type, whether the frame needs replacement, and especially the screen material.
The cost of window screen materials varies widely based on durability and features:
Fiberglass: $35–$200
Aluminum: $50–$300
Copper: $90–$850
Stainless Steel: $45–$400
Brass: $100–$900
Solar: $55–$850
Security: $100–$1,000
Vinyl: $25–$120
Costs also differ by screen type. For instance, a prefabricated screen might cost only $40, moveable screens typically run $25 to $75, and retractable screens range from $300 to $900. To save money, you can choose more affordable materials like vinyl or fiberglass, opt to rescreen instead of replacing the entire frame, and have multiple screens repaired at once to reduce labor costs.
Window screens can help keep some heat out of your home, which is one benefit of using them in summer. It’s also the reason experts suggest removing your screens in winter—so it’s easier for the sun’s warmth to filter into your home. This will keep you cozier and potentially reduce your heating bills.
Some hardware or specialty window stores in your area may repair damaged screens, but it’s less time-consuming, more convenient, and potentially more affordable to hire a screen repair technician to come to your home to do the work on-site. The screen technician will have the tools and experience to get the work done the same day, and they can inspect other screens while there to help avoid repeat repair costs in the future.
Yes, you can fix windows without replacing them. However, this will depend on the severity of the issue and what your needs are. Minor water damage, broken glass, damaged casing, and worn caulking are usually easy repairs. But if there is excessive damage, the windows are constantly foggy, or the windows are very old, it’s best to consider replacing them. Replacement windows cost between $575 and $1,475 per window, or an average of $850 per window.
