"Javier started July 12, 2024. We met at Lowes to pick up new shed at 10am. after picking up shed. I told him to meet at house but i had a few stops to do before heading back. he asked if he could get a burger and i said OK but don't take long. when I got home, he was not here yet, so I called him. he was still in Lodi having lunch. I was upset. because he wanted to start before, I had shed cleaned out he help unload shed. then he started to take down old shed. about several hours of unscrewing, he got mad and start to saw the shed when the sparks hit me i asked him not to use the saw again because it can catch something on fire. he was told several times. I was getting upset. he did work until 8 pm. next day he started the new shed. We had a few disagreements thought out the day. about 6 pm I told him it was time to pack up because my mother and i was tired and hungry and it too another hour to pack up. i missed our dinner date. before leaving Javier said to us that he would not be back until Monday. i was in shock so i said OK. Monday, he shows up a few minutes before 10am and start working. Monday afternoon i tell him he not working after 5 and he got mad and said he can't work Tuesday because he has other job. i told him he needs to call the other client and let them know he is still not finished, and he will be a little lateo on Tuesday. i said to him in the beginning that he should not get any jobs until he is sure he will be done with my job because i am on a deadline with my park. he went ahead and scheduled know he was not going to be done. so today it took another four hours to finish. then before he started this job, we agreed on $1000 for the hole job. when he finished, he hands me an invoice $1100. i said we didn't agree on dump fee as well. we agreed he would recycle the shed metal. well, he tells me he couldn't recycle because it was dirty metal. i know better than that but paid him just to get him off my property. i was so upset that i decided to wait to call or talk to Angi or do a review because i was mad as a hornet. I will never hire anyone from this company again. they are not qualified/professional like they say on tv or website. then I had a friend over to look at shed work and he said it was done incorrectly so i had to hire another contractor to redo what Javier did. he put the wrong panels together which in turn made she smaller it was and missing parts too. I do not want Javier ever to come back to my property again."

"CHI has done an excellent job for me and I recommend them without hesitation for any remodeling work. Here's why: My job started out with an entry door replacement, evolved into a pantry expansion, and finally finished with an entire kitchen countertop replacement. I was very pleased with how they worked, the materials they used, and the attention to detail in the workmanship. And they were very responsive, communicated well and frequently, and checked in regularly to make sure the job was getting done right and on time. Each of their craftsmen were highly skilled, knew what they were doing, and didn't cut any corners. And each one was friendly and courteous to boot! I very much appreciated their attention to protecting the rest of the house, and they cleaned up the jobsite every single day at the end of their work day. Remodels are disruptive, no matter what. But this was about the least painful I've experienced. I have worked with a lot of contractors. CHI is a 10 out of 10."

Award winning. Additional contact name - Roger Gravelle. Additional email - roger@goodnewshi.com.

"We recently had Good News Home Improvement replace the siding on our house and paint the exterior, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, efficient, and exceeded our expectations. Our Project Manager, Lon, was fantastic—his communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way and addressing any concerns promptly. Both the siding and paint crews were meticulous in their work and showed great care for our property. The siding crew even came up with a creative and beautiful solution to replace brick we had recently removed from the front of the house, which truly enhanced the final look. We received multiple bids for this project with like-for-like improvements, and Good News Home Improvement was by far the most competitive. They estimated two weeks for siding and 3-4 days for painting, but the siding was completed in under four days, and the painting took just under three—far faster than expected without compromising quality. If you're looking for a company that delivers high-quality work, excellent customer service, and great value, I highly recommend Good News Home Improvement!"

FAQs for door or window screens install or repair projects in Galt, CA

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.
