"Laminate floor installation. Everything was great from measurements, deciding on what flooring and what rooms we wanted done, then adding rooms. Installer was prompt, took only 1/2 hour lunch and worked 11 hours to finish the job. Having him come back to do additional rooms too. Couldn't be happier!"

"Provide came out to look at the job and provide an estimate. Said would be a couple of weeks before he would get back to us. Three weeks later hadn't heard anything from him so I contacted him again. When he returned my call he said he had been on vacation and asked if he had come out to look at my job, to which I said yes, you came out and talked with both my husband and myself. He said he would have to possibly come out again. Never heard from or saw him again and it has now been another 3 weeks! <br />"

"Everything went just as expected. Justin B initially came out and gave an estimate and then we had him back a few months later to make adjustments and ask more questions before making the deposit and setting up the date for the project. On the day of installation Justin B was in North Liberty, IA and stopped by to check on the crew's progress . The Foreman Oscar M & Assistant foreman Jaime M were great at explaining what they were going to do and the expectations and time frame. The finished job looks great . They cleaned up and left the area spotless. We are very happy at the way the project turned out."

"I highly recommend Peak Exteriors. They were professional, responded to all inquiries promptly and did a great job with the roofing, siding, gutters and windows. Everything went smoothly due in large part to the Peak employee' s friendly personality and willingness to explain the building process to me. Definitely keep this company in mind for your roofing needs in Rockford and surrounding areas."

FAQs for door or window screens install or repair projects in Freeport, IL

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.
