"I highly recommend Clifton Contracting. The owner and all his employees are great to work with and did an excellent job installing my egress window. They even worked with me to take care of some other home to-do's on the fly. I would happily use them again."
"Fantastic experience with JS Jackson! They did 2 projects for us - window replacement (6 windows for a townhouse) and cut and install new kitchen window. The leads on each project were very knowledgeable and great at explaining the process, answering questions, and advising on the best products for quality, budget, design, and function. Workers were friendly and professional. The office staff is very responsive at handling scheduling, permits, invoices, etc. It’s been several months and the windows are clearly properly installed, well-sealed, no leakage, and outside framing looks flawless. Would hire again!"
"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."
"REO ServicePro was great! Gary was friendly, responsive and helpful. He provided clear, descriptive quotes for various door options, and helped us to understand the real differences and implications between the options. He was understanding when we decided to purchase the materials ourselves (we wanted to use some gift cards/credit with a big box store). Michael performed the work, and was on time, friendly and efficient. He helped unload material (even though they did not source it), and did quality work. We are very happy with the work that REO ServicePro did, and with all our interactions with them. Good company!"
"Everything went AMAZINGLY WELL....FAST response on the submission. Within minutes they called me. They came out the same night to analyze my door and give me a quote. They scheduled the install for as soon as possible. The door and door frame were replaced and everything looks brand new. They are very friendly and professional. DEFINITELY HIRE THEM. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I will be calling them from now on when I need anything repaired....."
"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"
"Anchor Remodeling installed new energy-efficient vinyl windows in my home gym, and I?m beyond impressed. The team was professional, timely, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. If you need expert window installation or exterior remodeling, I highly recommend Anchor Remodeling."
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Drafts, condensation between panes, difficulty operating, or visible frames or glass damage are signs of needed repairs.
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.
Window screens are available in several standard sizes. Common dimensions include 24 to 36 inches wide by 36 to 48 inches tall, as well as sizes like 18 by 14 inches and 20 by 20 inches. These often correspond to standard window sizes, such as 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall or 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. Screens are also sold in replacement rolls to accommodate various dimensions. It is always best to measure your windows for accuracy before a repair or replacement. If your windows are a non-standard size, you will likely need to order custom screens, which can increase the cost. However, a screen does not necessarily have to fit the entire window, so you may be able to use a standard-size screen even if your window is slightly larger.
Tears, holes, or difficulty in opening and closing suggest a need for repair.
Some hardware or specialty window stores in your area may repair damaged screens, but it’s less time-consuming, more convenient, and potentially more affordable to hire a screen repair technician to come to your home to do the work on-site. The screen technician will have the tools and experience to get the work done the same day, and they can inspect other screens while there to help avoid repeat repair costs in the future.
