"Contacted National Home Improvements regarding leaking patio roof and no follow up response to issue since last year of April 2023. Still awaiting to hear back. Seems like the rain gutter is sagging in the middle of the patio where the two joints meet and water is pooling there and possibly leaking through the seams as illustrated in the photo. Poor design concept. Really disappointed with customer service and quality of product especially for what we have paid for. They clearly don't care about taking care of their customers. I would never hire National Home Improvements again!!!"

"Their warranty, customer support and overall communication with the end user is terrible. I have a 4 panel bay window that every seal is blown in on the front of my home. It was installed around 5 years ago and the seals went bad almost two years ago. They still haven’t received replacement panes. I even offered to share the cost of a whole new unit because my kids cant even see out of the window anymore. They have done every window and some doors in my home. They have no problem selling you something, but if you ever have a problem, they fall EXTREMELY short of even bad. And forget trying to get a supervisor on the phone or email you. They put in the notes that they called and left a message but I have never gotten one. Buyer beware."

Hi, I’m Danny, and I take pride in delivering high-quality craftsmanship. I approach every project with the same care and attention to detail as if I were working in my own home. My goal is to provide professional, reliable service while ensuring my clients are completely satisfied with the results.
"Danny was professional, consulted me before changing any design style,, and was clean and timely on site. The gate was in a difficult spot, and at an off angle relative to the pool, but Dan made it work and after some testing and movement, we agreed on a good spot and style for the platform and gate. Very happy with the results, and it functions and works exactly as I needed it too."

Making an existing window bigger always requires some construction, but the extent varies by project. Vertical expansions involve less structural work because they often don't affect load-bearing elements. Even so, any enlargement requires removing siding or drywall, cutting framing members, and installing appropriate support. Non-load-bearing walls allow for simpler modifications, while load-bearing walls require proper headers and structural support. A consultation with a structural engineer is advisable before beginning any window enlargement project.
Building permits are required for window enlargement projects in most municipalities. Since enlarging windows involves structural modifications to your home's exterior walls, local building departments need to review and approve the plans. Permit costs range from $100 to $300, though projects requiring significant structural changes may incur permit fees of $500 or more. Additionally, homes in historic districts or those governed by HOAs may need special approvals. Always check local requirements before beginning work.
An average window enlargement project takes between five hours and three days to complete. Simple projects with minimal structural changes might be finished in five to ten hours, while more complex enlargements requiring significant structural modifications could take up to three days. Factors affecting the timeline include the window's location, wall construction, weather conditions, and the need for specialized materials. The process involves demolition, framing, window installation, and interior/exterior finishing work.
