"This company has several communication issues. First I had an appt for my door to be measured at 10 am. On the day of the appointment, I received a text at 930 and an email that my appt was now between Noon and 4pm. I decided I would run some errands and when went to leave the contractor was here at 10:00 to measure the door as originally scheduled. I told him that they had notified me of the change but they Never told him. He didn't remove the trim from around the door to measure properly because when the installer showed up months later with the new door and after removing the trim around the door and rechecking, he told me that the door he brought was too short. I had told and showed the salesman that the door I was replacing had extra trim inside the opening and the salesman assurred me that the new door would eliminate this, but the door that was incorrectly measured would still require this extra trim because the saleman Never mentioned this to the representative who took the measurements. The installer apologized and remeasured the door correctly and I had to wait sever weeks for Champion to remake my door and take another day off from work and of course they don't offer any form of compensation to their customers for their own mistakes, just Sorry for the inconvenience. The door was Finally installed yesterday and thankfully I had the same installer who had remeasured the door correctly and he did a Great job. Today I received both a text and an email informing me that my door had been received by my local office and I would soon be contacted to schedule an installation appointment, remember this is After my door had already been installed. I called four different phone numbers to speak to someone and after holding for almost 30 min, I left my call back number. Then coincidently I received an email asking me how I liked my experience with Champion, and that I should leave a review. These doors are not cheap, mine was $15,000, but with the measuring mistakes and the costs of sending the installer here twice with his truck (85 miles away) I can now see why their prices are much higher than local home improvement stores including the cost of installation. My neighbors really like my new front door but agreed that a company this big should have better communication with their customers. The pictures are of the trim on my old door which the first door would still have required because either the salesman didn't mention this to the person measuring or he just didn't measure properly to eliminate the need for this excess trim, but either one is a fail."

As the nation’s largest full-service exterior home remodeler, we are backed by over 1,000+ Angi Super Service awards and more than one million happy customers. Why? Because we treat each job as an audition. An opportunity to prove ourselves to you. And the results speak for themselves. So make your home all it was meant to be with our unrivaled exterior services. Contact us today for a free, no obligation estimate on replacement windows, roofing, siding, doors, or attic insulation.

"TLDR: pressured sales pitch, very expensive, sloppy work, and a month later they have stood me up 3 times and not fixed any of their mistakes. Here was my experience with PHRG. They have an excellent sales team. They probably exaggerated any minor issues we had with our roof, but we knew we were due for a replacement. They have an extensive sales pitch about the training their crews receive, the materials they use, and their warranty. They were able to offer roof intake ventilation which I needed and didn't have time to do myself. Their sales rep was knowledgeable and it seemed like they were selling a quality product and service. A few red flags during the sales pitch - they don't have their own crews. PHRG sub contracts out roofing work and they are really just a sales office. Red flag #2 - they told me they would install ventilation whether or not I already had it. Adding additional ventilation to a properly ventilated roof is unnecessary and not correct if your intake and exhaust ventilation is already proper. This should be a dead giveaway that they are just up-selling things you don't need. Red flag #3 was the classic high pressure "if you don't sign today" tactic, and then dropping %15 off our price when we said no. They day of the install, the crew showed up 2 hours early with absolutely no warning and in a van marked for a completely different roofing company. The foreman barely spoke English and seemed to be the only one of the entire crew that did. Halfway through the install I had to remind him to remove an old vent and cut another hole for a new vent. I was extremely clear about these requests with the salesperson. After my reminder they still left the new vent completely disconnected inside my attic and used the complete wrong style vent. This vent connects to my kitchen range hood and they used a vent meant for attic ventilation which lets outside air into my kitchen! There are numerous shingles that have not sealed, have very obvious gouges or tears, are missing asphalt granules, and left an exposed nail un-caulked. They did not block off my gable vent after the installation. Leaving a gable vent open with eve and ridge ventilation is improper. So, they either don't know better, or don't care about proper attic ventilation. When installing the counter flashing, they failed to remove old caulking and used clear (not color matched) caulking instead. Apparently they are required to use this specific caulk by GAF but it was installed very sloppily and sticks out like a sore thumb. They spray painted several of my vent stacks without asking me. The paint is runny and looks absolutely terrible in addition to getting over-spray on the shingles. They also scratched my brand new vinyl fence with their wheelbarrow. They later fixed this with some paint thinner when I pointed it out, but there is a theme of carelessness here. At the end of the day I refused to sign the completion of work paper. They have scheduled and failed to show up on 3 separate occasions to fix their install! Total waste of time and money."

Family owned and operated since 1944, Wallside sells directly to the homeowner, manufacturing and installing its own products. With a factory/showroom located in Taylor, Mich., the vinyl window manufacturer services two thirds of the lower peninsula of Michigan and northwest portions of Ohio.

"The team came on July 22, 2021 to install all new windows in our Port Huron home. The windows were purchased in March, 2021. The WW agent, who sold us the windows in March, spoke of an area that would need a wood molding installed, and that we would need to purchase this, and stain it. The WW team would install it. When the second WW agent came a few weeks later, he told me that no molding would be needed, that no action on our part was needed. We were good to go. I was wrong to believe him, but he was supposed to know what he was doing. Immediately after the windows were installed in July, I inspected everything. Every window, with one exception, has a space, between the window and the frame on the bottom edge, filled with caulk and painted a dark brown. This is on the inside, not the outside of the house. The brown does not even closely match the color of our windows inside. It looks terrible, sticks out like a sore thumb, and is very unprofessional. No one every spoke to me about caulking or ever asked us about the space to fill. Many window frames are badly scratched on the inside as a result of careless installation. Many windows do not easily go up and down, or easily open out and back in. I discovered that the crew had incorrectly installed finishing wood strips on either side of the windows. As a result, most of the windows are too tight to work properly. For this same reason, one window is very loose when you open it towards you. It is not properly finished. One window is a bathroom has a top sash that is different from all the other windows in our home. WW tells me that this is no doubt because the window was broken and had to be replaced by them. Many latches for locking and unlocking the windows are crooked and misaligned. So, 2-3 days after the installation, I contacted WW with these issues. They came out to inspect over three weeks later. It has been a week since they came. Still no word from WW as to the solution. Hmmmm. I like the windows, but bad installation. I'm awaiting satisfaction."

Door or window screens installs or repairs FAQs

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.
