Window and Screen Installs
I would like to highly recommend a young fellow that installed new screens in my dining room area. His name is Marbel Yagual. We have the floor to ceiling slider windows across the wall which are great to let in the breeze but also let in the flies and mosquitoes. Marbel was recommended to me by Connie Carter and I couldn't be more pleased. He showed up on time. He was courteous, friendly and very professional. He measured three times to make sure everything was correct. The screens had to be customed made due to the dimensions. He returned five days later to install the screens. After installing the screens, there was a gap of about two inches at the top because the cement that the tracks were sitting on was not level at one spot. He spent the next hour chipping away to make sure the screens fit perfectly. He does not speak English and my Spanish is not that strong, but we used Google translate and had no trouble communicating. His cell phone number is 099-247-4418.
