"Derek was amazing to work with. His work is top-notch and he has excellent communication skills. He built our deck quickly and was prompt to clarify any changes to the original plan that were necessary to obtain my approval. I plan to hire him again for additional work!"

"Brand new deck railing — contacted the owner for an estimate. He worked closely with us on designing exactly what we wanted. We have a 10 acre pond behind our home and wanted the ability to see it clearly, yet needed a deck railing. David and his employees were surprisingly (most contractors march to the beat of their own clock!) punctual and professional. They mapped out the most ideal structure to maximize our view. We could not be happier with their hard work, expertise, listening skills, and care and concern for what we wanted. VERY impressed!! I would hire this company to do any repairs, additions, replacements, etc."

"CAUTION - when relying on Issac We needed our chimney rebuilt. Issac estimated it and finally we received a starting date. After, working an hour he said the job was too big for him. (some damage to our metal pieces). We request that he would paint it after we find another handyman. Once done he came back and quoted over $100 an hour to paint the chimney. He kept push us out on his calendar. We dropped him. He had us paid for the hour that he worked on the Chimney before exiting. Very poor communication if we are scheduled? If he is starting on the day he last told us? Problem answering texts."

"They could not finish the job in a day and left material on that blew off in high winds and a storm that night. We awoke to leaks in the house and garage. They finished the job. After the 2-year limited warranty expired we have been plagued by a leak. We have had 3 other roofers look at it. The belief is that after the rain Lastime didn't replace what was wet and we have underlying damage. The only way to examine it further is to tear out a section of the roof. ADVICE: DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY."

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.
