"Kenny and team were amazing to work with - professional, polite, honest, and finished the project ahead of schedule and at a very fair price. We had two old single pane windows replaced in our basement (which may have been 50+ years old), and a new window well installed. The work was very well done. I have since recommended Clifton to multiple friends and other contractors. Five stars."
"I forgot the guy’s name that came to look at the job. He was nice and quick to estimate and explain and not into ‘selling’ services like 2 other companies did. Ordered the slider I wanted and installed it when it came in . I had decided to use a company that specializes in door and window installation instead of the previously used 2 big box garden/supply chains in the area. Very happy with the quality of the slider and the professional installation!"
"I needed my front door knob replaced they contacted me immediately after I posted on Angi, they came within 2 hours even stopped at Home Depot to purchase door knob for me their services were very economical compares to others,, VERY PLEASED highly recommend."
"We have had NovaExteriors replace all our gutters, windows, sliding doors and front door over the last several years from the contractor grade products that the town house was built with. We have been very pleased with everything. They installed our steel front door about 10 years ago and we started to have issues with the deadbolt not aligning with the door jam and the rubber sweep wearing out over time. I contacted NovaExteriors, made my appointment and they arrived right on time and performed the needed maintenance that was required. The door is back to being perfect. Once again, we were very pleased with NovaExteriors, their prompt arrival and the quality of work. You can't go wrong with NovaExteriors."
"The Glass Smith installed windows in my upstairs master bathroom and main level laundry room. They provided excellent, professional, and honest service. Devin, Head Manager, was engaging, friendly, and efficient. He provided exceptional customer relationship management. Jermaine Science, Master Technician, is truly a master in his craft. He was thorough and yet efficient. He also caulked several windows and corrected flaws of a previous window installation company. Without any reservations, I recommend Jermaine for any window project."
"These guys got the work done in a single long day, which was impressive. It was well done and the owner was very responsive. Really appreciated having a pro for playground equipment install that was a Class A contractor with all the insurance and licenses I was looking for."
"Juan called me promptly after inquiring about the cost of a window project on line. He provided me with a detailed date and time for the project, and called to notify me after arriving it would be completed by the next day. I appreciate his efforts to keep me updated throughout the project and sent pictures to show the work was completed. The cost was very reasonable."
"Incredible work. Great attention to detail and appreciate their capabilities of hand fabricating trim pieces and our whole brand new doors from locally sourced wood"
"Ralph sold us 17 windows and a front door. Omar and his crew came out at 10:30 am, and finished everything up and cleaned, and were out of here by 6 pm. The crew worked quickly and efficiently , were pleasant, and courteous. Omar's final walk through was quick, thorough, and friendly. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we can't wait for future dealings with this company."
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Drafts, condensation between panes, difficulty operating, or visible frames or glass damage are signs of needed repairs.
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.
Window screens can take anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour to replace, depending on the complexity of the replacement and the accessibility of the window. Replacing the screen inside an existing frame normally takes longer than replacing an entire screen, frame and all, if you purchase a prefabricated screen already mounted on the frame.
The cost ultimately depends on size, but roughly, the most popular screen materials will set you back anywhere from around $0.25 to over $25 per square foot. Fiberglass and aluminum are usually less expensive at around $0.25 to $0.70 per square foot. Solar screens cost about $7.50 to $15 per square foot, while security screens range from around $10 to $25 per square foot.
Most standard windows can accommodate solar screens, but specialty shapes or non-standard frames may require custom solutions. It’s important to consult with a professional to ensure compatibility and proper fit for unique window designs. Arched, bay, and fabricated windows often need fabricated screens, which can increase costs and lead time.
