"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!"
"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."
"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."
"You could not ask for a better company to work with. Job performance was excellent. Shed built perfectly and on time. Cost effective as well. Craftsmanship is outsatanding"
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
Most windows last for 15 to 30 years, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it’s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:
Leaks
Drafts
Difficulty opening or closing
Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills
Outdoor noise becomes more audible
Signs of physical damage
Most window screens in residential homes are designed to be removed from the inside, especially with double-hung, single-hung, and casement styles. That said, some setups require exterior removal. Older homes or custom installs may have exterior clips or brackets, and sunscreens are almost always mounted on the outside. Before removing your window screen, look at how it is held in place.
Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they’re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn’t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.
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.
There are many ways to customize screens, including customizing frame colors and mesh styles to complement your home’s aesthetic.
