"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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
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.
Awning windows can have screens, but it depends on your manufacturer. If your awning window does have a screen, it will be on the interior side so it doesn’t get in the way when you crank the window open. Having the screen on the inner part of the window also makes it easier to clean from inside your home.
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.
The screen material you choose depends on your needs. Here are some differences to consider:
Fiberglass is the least expensive but needs replacing more often.
Aluminum suits almost any job and doesn’t stretch as easily as fiberglass.
Pet-resistant screens are more expensive than fiberglass or aluminum, but they’re also wind and weather-resistant.
Metal screens, like stainless steel, are the most expensive material for rescreening your porch or sunroom. However, they last for years and are golf ball-resistant.
If you’d rather repair your screen door mesh than replace it, you can patch it. Purchase a mesh patch for screen doors with small holes or tears, especially if the mesh is pretty new. Hardware stores and websites sell mesh patches that are easy to apply with an adhesive or a warm hair dryer. Keep in mind that repairs won’t look as aesthetically pleasing in most cases as a full replacement.
