"A big thank you to John and Jared of US Windows for saving the day on our window project! We were taken advantage of by a previous window company, Texas Pride Windows and Doors / Brian Young, who stole our deposit and ghosted us. Jared and John reached out to us after seeing our story on the Channel 2 news in Houston. They helped us replace 27 windows and 3 doors with very high quality Pella and Thermatru products. They contracted an AWESOME install team lead by Reginaldo and about 12 other installers. ALL were very friendly and professional and stayed until the job was done. They draped the entire work area and cleaned up EVERYTHING. Excellent attention to detail. I would recommend John, Jared and US Windows for any window replacement job! Thanks Guys!!"
"It was a good experience and really updated the look and energy efficiency of the house. Our sales person was Mickey Flynn, Mickey did not hard sell us he just showed us the products and told us about how they were designed and what benefits we could expect from them. I would definitely recommend Mickey and Window World to anyone needing replacement windows or doors."
"All 3 craftsmen were courteous, polite, highly competent, and did an excellent job replacing 3 exterior doors on my house. I would recommend this company to others."
"Leo and his team are the best! Not only do they do amazing work, they are honest and kind and show up when they say the will. Leo and team completely reconstructed and restored my husband’s great grandparents house built in the 40’s. We are so grateful for them and their beautiful, skilled work. I highly recommend Velasquez Contractors to everyone in the area for any work needed-large or small—these are the contractors to use!"
"I got some windows from Power and LOVE their work so we ordered 2 doors too. The doors are amazing and they were very professional and courteous during the install. I continue to be impressed by Power and will continue to reach out to them as needs come up."
"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."
"Called to schedule a repair and was told a price based on measurements and that the job would be done same day as when the technician came. Technician came out next day and the price almost doubled and it took two more days for the window to be repaired. We are satisfied with the window but wish the person on the phone would of had more accurate information."

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
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.
While sometimes used interchangeably, screen doors and storm doors have key differences. Screen doors are simple structures, typically composed of just a frame and a screen, designed to keep out bugs while allowing air circulation. In contrast, storm doors are heavier and more complex, built to protect your home's main entry door from weather and intruders. They usually feature an aluminum frame with interchangeable tempered glass and screen panels, allowing you to switch between ventilation and insulation. A storm door offers more protection and versatility but generally costs more than a basic screen door.
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.
Window seals don’t last forever, so they’ll inevitably fail for one reason or another. One of the most common reasons is the expansion and contraction of the glass. When the glass gets warm from sunlight, it expands and adds pressure to the seal; at night, as the glass cools, it contracts. This process, day in and day out, can eventually cause the seal to fail. Other common sources of failure include the house settling over time, chemicals that damage the seal when repainting windows, and incorrect window installation.
If you’re not an experienced DIYer, consider hiring a local patio repair contractor to rescreen your porch or sunroom. Unless you’re only repairing a small rip or hole, this project is not an easy job. A professional can also make recommendations for materials that will work best for your porch.
