"I contacted JR solar screens by phone after checking Angi's List, who gave a great review of the company. I spoke with the owner of the company and set-up a date and time for him to measure the windows and quote a price for the work. He arrived on time, which I appreciate and depend on. I watched him install the solar screens on my house windows and was impressed with his attention to detail, making sure all the joints were tight and level. He was very pleasant to work with, and I highly recommend JR screens to anyone who needs work done on their home."
"It was super easy to get a hold of the company and then sent us a great repair man who was very courteous and helpful we will call if we need any more glass work at our home for sure"

"Fixed the problem without gouging on the price. I needed a repair, not a replacement and they were one of the few companies that was willing to even bother to respond. Almost all wanted to replace the window for a minor repair and charge hundreds of dollars. Also, they were there when they said they would be."

"Computer did the "gotta send info to Microsoft" but when tried to reboot it ran through automatic repair without success. I did all the alternative without any success. He came and picked up the hard drive on Tuesday and returned it on Saturday. Fortunately he was able to "restore" without any data loss. Very happy with outcome."
"Contacted Allstar a week before installation to get an estimate. Spoke with Liz that morning. She promised to get me an estimate by 2 pm that afternoon. Chris and Liz came by house to measure and provided me an estimate as promised before 2 pm. Agreed for Allstar to do the work on Saturday and screens were made and installed by the following Wednesday. This husband/wife team were very professional, prompt, and courteous. Price was reasonable after doing some price comparison . The installer Brian also had excellent customer service skills. Will be calling them back to complete the back windows of my home. Highly recommend. Happy Customer in The Forest"
It is generally recommended to remove window screens for the winter, especially in climates with heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures. Removing them helps prevent damage to the screen mesh and frames that can be caused by ice and moisture buildup between the screen and the window. Taking out the screens also allows more natural light and warmth into your home during shorter winter days and makes it easier to clean your windows thoroughly. In warmer climates where harsh weather is not a concern, the decision is more about personal preference; some homeowners prefer the clearer view, while others leave them in for convenience.
