"They did a good job installing the storm doors. The storm doors are excellent quality (30 yrs). It took some time to finally get the installation completed as ordering the doors was a bit time extensive and I had to call them to find out the time line. All things considered I give them an B+ or 4 stars. The installers were basically social introverts..."
"This company has a very high standard when it comes to people s belongings, and property by keeping the construction site clean and free of debris. The company is very concerned about our needs and the additional requests for additional service. The owner was very concerned about the overall project even the value of the amount of money this remodel cost. The personnel were very helpful when it came to interior design questions."
"Mr. Ferrell worked with my husband over the phone to fix the problem. It was surprisingly fast and stress-free. To have the work done remotely in less than an hour was wonderful."
"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."
"These guys were great!! We had a delivery of a massive new front, all in one piece, very heavy. They handled it of total care and stored it in our garage with all the very long trim pieces for installation next day. Kind of an unusual item to deliver so was concerned about the glass, scratching, damage. Again, 5-star handling and very pleased!!"
"Fabian completely remodeled our kitchen with the cabinets that we had always wanted. He did a great and accurate job, and also kept us updated during this project. Fabian is our go to guy! In addition to kitchen remodel he also constructed a new add on to a shop that incudes a storage room and bathroom and installed a septic system. Fabian is the best and any job completed by him is always done great!"
"Ashley’s Touch has been a great resource for me. I am very particular about my wood floors and bathrooms. They were happy to accommodate my procedure for cleaning the wood floors and their service got better every time they came out. It’s been my experience that it takes a few visits for a cleaning service to get a new customer’s specifics down, but they were attentive to make that happen for me."
"Tech that arrived was lousy. Came out of truck complaining about a back ache, blamed my AC issues on old windows. Never looked in the attic. Ended up hiring a company out of pocket who did a thorough inspection and made sensible recommendations."
"Omar and his crew were professional, dependable, courteous, thoughtful and considerate. They did all they could to make this experience and excellent one. The workmanship is excellent and we would compare it to anyone else's. They finished our project which was a gutted bathroom, putting down flooring, beadboard, chair rail, baseboard, putting in shower, vanity commode. Omar put down flooring in front of our front door and built a steady ramp for our storage building. WE have other projects that we will be doing in the future. Omar is he first and only person we will call. WE thank him and his crew for all they have done."
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
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.
Professionals clean window screens the same way a homeowner can—by removing the screens and cleaning them with a sponge. A window cleaning pro may come with better equipment, like a high powered wet/dry vacuum or pressure washer to speed up the process and achieve a deeper clean.
There are different types of screen materials available when purchasing a screen door, but the two main options are fiberglass and aluminum. Fiberglass is lightweight and affordable, but can stretch out, so it needs to be replaced more often. Aluminum has a higher upfront cost, but is more sturdy. Aluminum can be more difficult to install, even if you know how to replace screen door mesh.
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 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.
