"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!"
"This company is great. Custom made a sliding screen door for me. Did a wonderful job and their customer service and communication with a customer is outstanding. I highly recommend them."
"Juan from GS CUSTOM REMODELERS LLC did a fantastic job. He communicated well about his availability/timing; he arrived when he said he would, he did the work quickly, and his fee was more than fair--even generous, I would say. He didn't consider the problem, which bedeviled us, too small to deal with. We were impressed, and we will ask him to do more work for us."
"I have used HGE for 2 major projects now (roof and windows) and they provide excellent customer service and great communication with customers. The roof job only took 2 days and the 15 windows replaced took less than one day. Very fast and professional work from Trey, Judd, and team."
"Highly recommend! He was punctual, professional, and paid attention to detail. The work was done efficiently and everything turned out exactly how I wanted. Pricing was fair and transparent, and he made sure everything was cleaned up before leaving. It’s hard to find reliable handyman services, but this one exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be using him again for future projects!"
"Wonderfully from talking to representative, ordering windows and window installment. Windows were installed in one day by a very knowledgeable installer. Hard worker, conscience, courteous and friendly. We would recommend this company to all of our friends."
"Ray, was contracted after the "First Contractor" was paid and left our home a mess with hanging live wires, no smoke detectors, missing toilet, walk in closet disassembled, and the list goes on.....Ray arrived the next day after contacting me. Agreed to a quote from Angie's list. Installed toilet, dishwasher, kitchen faucet, resembled closets, hung doors, and installed smoke detectors. All in one day!!!!!! Ray's my go-to GUY forever. Kind , courteous, proficient, and professional..... I strongly recommend Ray, for all your handyman projects!!!! Anthony Ewing Woodstock Virginia"
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
You can add any type of window to a brick house, so long as the window has proper support. Windows with wider openings and windows in brick walls will need a lintel to support the extra weight above the window frame. A lintel is a support beam that distributes the weight from above evenly around the window.
You can trim an overhead garage door screen to fit your garage door opening. This is a particularly helpful hack if you have an irregularly sized garage door opening but are still interested in installing a garage door screen to keep pests and debris out. Trim the garage door screen carefully to avoid unsightly edges or an uneven fit.
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.
There are a number of ways to secure windows. You can add motion detectors or window sensors to detect movement and impact or change the window locks to make them stronger. Some of the ways you can secure windows are much like how you secure a home: closing the curtains at night and setting up security cameras outside so you can monitor your property even in your absence.
Window screen repair costs an average of $310, with a typical range of $100 to $480. The final price depends on several factors, including the window size, accessibility, screen type, whether the frame needs replacement, and especially the screen material.
The cost of window screen materials varies widely based on durability and features:
Fiberglass: $35–$200
Aluminum: $50–$300
Copper: $90–$850
Stainless Steel: $45–$400
Brass: $100–$900
Solar: $55–$850
Security: $100–$1,000
Vinyl: $25–$120
Costs also differ by screen type. For instance, a prefabricated screen might cost only $40, moveable screens typically run $25 to $75, and retractable screens range from $300 to $900. To save money, you can choose more affordable materials like vinyl or fiberglass, opt to rescreen instead of replacing the entire frame, and have multiple screens repaired at once to reduce labor costs.
