"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."
"Their Handyman Nestor Ramirez came my house within two hours after I contacted Chapin Handyman LLC; and it took him less than 30 minutes to locate and clear away the obstructions preventing my upper window from closing completely."
"Excellent work. The person who assisted us was gruff and no-nonsense, but professional. He asked that we send a photo of the window, which we did. He then came out and measured the window. He came back a couple of days later, and completed the work. The window looks fantastic, and we are very pleased with his work."
"Outstanding service. Came same day to replace my windows. Did a very clean and thorough job. Most other companies refused to even offer the service of replacing glass in windows let alone charge a reasonable fee. I'm so glad that I found Glass and Window Solutions. Their team is clearly highly skilled. They made removal and replacement of the window glass look easy even though another contractor had failed miserably to accomplish this task without damaging my vinyl window frames!"
"UNICORP recently replaced 29 windows, including 1 casement and 1 large sliding glass door at our residence. To say that were are pleased with the final product is a great understatement. The company owner, Brian, made the initial visit to our home and he is very personable, professional, highly knowledgeable and very passionate about the product he sells. The installation crew, led by Paul, was outstanding. They were highly skilled, attentive to the smallest detail, very easy to have in our home, AND did a great final cleanup. No trash or debris anywhere. The actual windows are amazing. High-quality, custom made, and reasonably priced. Particularly noteworthy is the significant reduction of outside noise. The screens are barely noticeable which makes for a big visual improvement. For higher cost projects we routinely obtain 3 estimates before moving forward. In this instance, we followed our gut, and went with the first company, Unicorp, cancelled appointments with 2 other companies. Not our usual approach, but our intuition served us well. If you're in the market for new windows you owe it to yourself to contact UNICORP and give them an opportunity to submit an estimate. I'm betting you won't regret it. David and Lauren"
"We recently had a window replaced by Nova Renew Construction Home Services and we couldn't be more pleased with the service. He was incredibly fast and efficient, completing the job in no time without sacrificing quality. He was professional, respectful of my home, and left everything clean and tidy. The new window looks great, and the installation was flawless. I highly recommend him for anyone needing window replacement or any related services. Excellent work!"
"The Premier Windows and Glass has provided an excellent service for me! A frame of one of the windows in my condo was broken, and I looked for a company that would fix it and prolong the life of the window. So, I was very happy to discover The Premier Windows and Glass. Their technician was very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. Not only did he do a quality job on fixing the frame, but he also explained to me what needs to be done to prevent the window from breaking down again and avoid paying a lot of money for its replacement. In addition, the manager and technician responded to my service request in a prompt manner. The problem was solved on the day when I called the company. Last but not least, the company offers competitive service rates and does not push people to spend more money than is absolutely necessary. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who needs to have a window fixed or replaced."
"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."
Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts
No, but removing window screens will achieve a deeper clean. If you aren’t sure how to remove your screens, you can still clean them while in your window. You can follow the same cleaning steps, but you may not be able to get into corners or struggle to clean the entire screen if the window is up high.
Most solar screens last 10 to 15 years, depending on the material quality, exposure to weather, and the level of maintenance. High-quality materials and regular cleaning can extend their lifespan, while harsh climates or neglect may shorten it. Routine cleaning, inspecting for damage, and avoiding harsh cleaners can help extend the lifespan of your screens.
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.
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.
Rescreening a door costs an average of $7 to $150. It’s a relatively easy process that only requires 30 minutes to an hour’s work.
