"Chris, the Owner, replaced one of my front door sidelights. His work associate, Jason, wrapped my garage door and a garden shed door with aluminum. Chris bid the job and there was a little confusion about Jason’s part. Color of caulk was changed and purpose of rewrapping garage door was not clear to Jason. They both returned to my job and corrected what they needed to and more. Overall I was satisfied with their work and they really worked to my satisfaction. They are consciencious men and were not paid until completion, which I appreciated! I’ll work with these people again!"

"Friendly, professional, clean and neat. Had the siding replaced on the side of my house after wind damage. Work was done quickly. Went above and beyond. Rodney looked at and put a temporary fix on my storm door handle when he came to do the final walk thru."
"A friend of mine recommended Victors company for having the exterior of my house repainted. I call, he answers, came out for an estimate the next day. Started work within two weeks. We have some kind of masonite/wood siding which had some rot damage, a board with a hole and some with no paint. Some window, door and other trim had issues and needed to be replaced. I have to say I'm super impressed with the crews handyman skills, all the fixes were done that you couldn't tell that there ever was an issue. On the previous coat of paint you could see some coverage issues, no issues this time. We switched to a much lighter color, and I know everything got a good coat of paint! All the trim and door was repainted, shutters replaced, edges recaulked. It took the crew almost 5 days including prep and cleanup. All in all, I feel confident that I bought myself another 15 years, and hope Victor is still painting then so I can hire him again :)"
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Typically every 10-15 years or whenever they show signs of wear and tear.
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.
Common problems include leaks, broken glass, and damaged frames. Regular maintenance prevents extensive damage.
Adding a window to a brick house costs $3,100 to $10,575. Because you’ll need to make changes to the structure of the home, the cost will include obtaining permits and hiring the best pros for this complex job. Larger windows will cost more to install, and the cost can vary based on the window frame material you choose.
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.
