"Fabulous experience with them! They spent long and meticulous hours replacing some windows and patio doors for us. When it was uncovered that the original owners took short cuts, they put in extra time to make sure the job was done right. Definitely will use in the future!"
"Zack and his crew did a great job. The only downside was that it took over a week to get the glass and get it installed. However, that was the timeframe I was given to begin with. I had seen great reviews for them on Nextdoor, so I chose to wait the extra time since we were able to cover the window. We will not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to family, friends, and neighbors."
"William was great to work with. He did an awesome job on our double front doors, he inspected the new ones when they came in and rejected them as there was a quality issue, so we returned them had had new ones built. William went above and beyond on our job with quality workmanship. We would highly recommend William for any door job you need. He has been dealing with doors for the past 22 years and it shows."
"Erwin was on time and knowledgeable about all the issues I had with all the things I needed fixed and did an outstanding job. I highly recommend him."
"We are extremely happy with how our new windows and new front door turned out. After some unexpected challenges with the way our home was built, our installation crew quickly and efficiently adapted to make sure our windows and door were installed with expert care. Every time we see our new beautiful picture window we are left breathless! And our beautiful front door is the perfect upgrade for the look of our home. Thank you RBA!"
"Called for free estimate and Alex responded. He gave me the options for repair and did not pressure me into a decuson. He let me make the choice. The communication was excellent. A crew of 8 showed up and worked all day completing the project. They were polite and cleaned up after the job was completed. I checked around and found their estimates to be the best with about the same guarantees. This was a very pleasant experience. Now my doors don't gap and close nicely. Thanks Groundworks."
"shon was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. He did a wonderful job and he steadily worked to resolve my issues. He also installed a porch light for me. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely continue to use his services."
"I needed quotes and advise on a bathroom remodel. Bath Expo does seem to offer an amazing product however, $15 grand for a single stall shower seems like a bit of an overkill. Plus, the shower and vanity is really the only things they can do. No walls, flooring, lights, painting, etc. I really needed a contractor that could complete the whole bathroom and stay within my budget."
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
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.
Most solar screens last 10 to 15 years, depending on the material quality, exposure to weather, and the level of maintenance. High-quality materials and regular cleaning can extend their lifespan, while harsh climates or neglect may shorten it. Routine cleaning, inspecting for damage, and avoiding harsh cleaners can help extend the lifespan of your screens.
A screened-in porch requires maintenance to keep the screens clean and in good shape, and you may have to do some screen repair or replacement from time to time. A screen porch isn’t an all-season porch, so the weather can get in, including wind and rain.
Most windows last for 15 to 30 years, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it’s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:
Leaks
Drafts
Difficulty opening or closing
Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills
Outdoor noise becomes more audible
Signs of physical damage
Yes, adding windows adds value to a brick house. Homeowners don’t shy away from more natural light and an opportunity to get fresh air. Adding a window is particularly beneficial if you live in an area with good weather for much of the year or if your home has a nice view. Keep in mind that many older brick homes have historic wood windows that add to the charm of the house. When you install a new window in a brick house, you’ll want to find one that matches the aesthetic of the existing windows.
While windows increase a home’s value, how much they increase it can vary. It depends on the age of the home and the type of windows. You can expect about 70% to 85% return on investment (ROI) when adding a window to your home.
