"We had a couple leaky faucets and some loose electrical fixtures wanted a handyman to come take a look. Dakota was great to talk to, giving us an idea of what it would take to fix our plumbing issues and quickly fixing our electrical issues. He charged a very reasonable price ($30), considering that he was at our house for an hour or so"

"They came and got measurements of all windows and discussed options. They sent an estimate later via email. They said it may take 2 days to complete inside work and 1 day to finish up the outside work. They were able to finish the inside in 1 day and came back later and completed the outside in less than 1 day. They worked fast and were thorough, and cleaned up afterwards. I had to replace the windows because of rotten wood and nonfunctioning windows from previous owner. They stained the inside wood to match the existing frame and even matched the outside framing very well. The windows look great and are energy efficient. They even block some of the traffic noise that was loud before replacing the windows. They did a great job. I would definitively recommend this company. I had 1 window that would slide down and wouldn't stay open but they sent somone to fix that, and now it's fine. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"I can't say enough positive words about David and his crew. We needed an exterior door replaced in our 100 year old home. David came out to measure the door opening to make sure we got the correct size for the space. He handled all the ordering so it was completely hands off for me. When installing the door it turned out to be quite the difficult job. The previous door was installed very poorly and they had to basically rebuild the entire opening. The job was completed even better than I expected. The finish work is supurb. We have already noticed a temperature difference in the room next to the door as well! I would highly recommend Bagnall Builders to anyone and will definitely be suggesting them to my clients in real estate!"

"He was very attentive to our needs and worked within our budget. He didn't try persuade us into something we didn't need. He let me order my <br /> front door to save third party costs! He was very thorough with his work and made sure there were no shortcuts made. <br /> He follows up with his work. He had fixed some issues with our privacy fence, but one of the issues weren't resolved- he is coming back out tomorrow to fix! <br /> We had a long drawn out issue with an outside contractor that he had hired ( Alan's Seamless Gutters ) <br /> and he followed up and made sure that the problems were resolved. I would definitely recommend Tony to others and will be using his services in the future. <br />"

". Responded immediately with bid and where out to do work within week or two. Their cost much less than others <br /> Very nice boss and crew.  <br /> We did have a problem with a leak after a storm with 70 mile winds and torrential rain. They were out the next day to fix it under the warranty. It has been fine after several more storms and rain <br />"

"The first guy I called couldn't get there quickly he recommended BHS and gave me the number.  My sister had rain in her kitchen Friday night, so I'm calling people Saturday with lots more rain expected that night.  George came over Saturday late afternoon, 4PM  ish.  Caulked around the vent pipe that was leaking.  Said to let him know if that didn't fix the problem.  It did. <br /> While he was up there we heard some ominous noises and George said we had some damage from the leak. and needed to replace at least the one side  soon. <br /> <strong>So the main thing is</strong>,  George took my call, at home around 11AM and was at my place by 4PM on SATURDAY and did a temp fix that lasted several months and kept my sister dry and only charged me his regular hourly rate.  No sticking it to me for fast service, no double or triple time for Saturday, no added "trip charge" for the visit, no extra charge because I'm a women.  No hard sale on the replacement of the roof. <br /> <br />"

FAQs for door or window screens install or repair projects in Ames, IA

Most off-the-shelf screens come in fixed sizes, ranging from 18 inches by 20 inches to 36 inches by 74 inches, which fit the vast majority of residential windows. If your opening falls outside that range or has a unique shape, you’ll need a custom screen built to the exact measurements. Going custom ensures a secure fit, a solid barrier against bugs, and a clean, finished look.

The decision to repair or replace your screen depends on the extent of the damage. Small holes or tears in otherwise solid mesh can be patched, and a sturdy frame usually doesn’t need to go anywhere. However, once the frame is bent or the mesh is brittle and fraying in several spots, replacement becomes a more sensible option—and often proves to be less costly in the long run. Take a close look at both parts before making a decision.

To rescreen a window, start by prying out the old spline, then lift the torn mesh from the frame. Lay the new screen over the frame, allowing about an inch of excess on all sides, and hold it in place while pressing fresh spline into the groove with a roller. Check that the mesh is taut—many pros rest a small brick on it while they work—then trim the overhang with a utility knife.

Most window screens last for 10 to 12 years. Time, sun, and weather gradually make the mesh brittle, so you’ll start to see sagging, rips, or thinning spots that let bugs get through. Check the screens each season; if the mesh crumbles or the frame warps, it’s time to replace them to keep air flowing and pests outside.

Most pros can swap out a screen in 10 minutes to an hour. A quick pop‑in replacement goes fastest, while fitting new mesh into an existing frame or working on a hard‑to‑reach upper window adds time. Either way, plan for at least a few extra minutes per screen so the installer can verify the fit and ensure the spline is seated correctly.
