In Alhambra homes
About 77 percent of Alhambra’s homes were built before 1980, according to a city housing report. Many of these houses have a porch screen door at the front or back and an aluminum slider added later, so we work on both.

A badly bent frame is better replaced by a screen shop.
In older Alhambra houses this job often turns up next to sliding glass door repair, window screen repair and storm door installation, so mention those when you text and we can price them together.
