"After using Paulo's team to do our siding project a year ago, we gave them a chance to bid on a project to replace our patio and build a pergola. Paulo's bid was the lowest of the three we received, and given the outstanding experience we had with them a year ago we decided to hire them again. The experience was, once again, outstanding. Removal of the old patio was quick and pretty neat, the 16 by 16 pergola was framed out in just a day, and the paver patio was built in about a week. The architect Paulo hired created detailed pergola specs which passed the city of Golden permit office without incident. Once again, everything was done to our satisfaction and any little issues we noted were taken care of. As was the case with the siding job, everyone who worked on our project seemed very competent and had a good attitude. If another project came up we would not hesitate to utilize Paulo's team, and in the meantime I will happily refer anyone I know to them."
"They were very polite and friendly. Answered every question I had. The young man who installed them was very nice. He was quick and they did a great clean up afterwards. Thank you Champion Windows."
"Wayne did a great job replacing a sliding glass door that I purchased elsewhere. He was flexible on schedule and installed it as soon as possible. The installation looks great and he had to accommodate the door to an odd opening in the wall. Very professional."
"Windows are good. Work was sloppy. Still finding shards of glass on the floor and the furniture a week after completion. Caulking looks like a third grader did it- including caulking the screen door to the frame. For this type of investment, they should act like professionals."
"The project went smooth from start to finish. They started exactly when expected and ended when as they said. They did a good clean job. Our house looks so good now. The rates were very competitive and I believe we got a great deal! I am getting compliments all the time. It was money well spent. You can't go wrong with this company !"
This happens when condensation forms due to your room temperature being lower than its dew point. You can clean the glass with a combination of baking soda, vinegar, and warm water to wipe away the fog from the doors.
You can clean the oven window the same way you clean the oven walls. Make a paste of baking soda and water and let it sit on the window overnight before wiping it off with a damp cloth. You might find it helpful to rub the baking soda paste in with an old toothbrush.
While finding your mirror cracked can be spooky, there are actually many logical and common reasons why this happens. First, the mirror may have been mounted unevenly in the first place. Over time, poor mounting leads to stress points that will eventually cause a mirror to crack. Other common causes of a mirror spontaneously cracking include dramatic temperature shifts, strong thunder or a loud crash somewhere in the distance, exposure to heat and sunlight, and an uneven wall in your home. It's also possible that your mirror had a manufacturing defect or microscopic cracks that occurred during glass cutting or handling that eventually caused it to shatter.
Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.
The methods outlined here are intended for surface scratches—ones that don’t cut into the glass very deeply. For deep scratches, you should consider a more comprehensive glass scratch repair kit. These kits come with abrasives, polishing compounds, and specialized tools designed for removing deep scratches from glass. If you feel uncomfortable tackling a deep scratch on your own, consider calling a local glass repair contractor.
