"They replaced our rollers and fixed the track. I?ve dealt with many repair services before, and these guys are top-level. Clean work, very professional, and the door finally moves smoothly again. Highly recommended!"
"Nick and Mike from Westshore Homes came to remove old shower and the garden tub. They replaced these with a gorgeous acrylic shower with towel rods, grab bars, shampoo/soap shelves, and glass sliding doors. It turned out beautifully and the installers were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I really appreciated their work ethic. Would recommend Westshore Homes to anyone!"
"We hired Window Depot in 2021 to replace all our windows , French doors , sliding doors with Hurricane glass PGT. From sales, communication ( many steps from start to finish /this was important )quality of the windows and doors, team of experienced and qualified installers(cleaning up after each step of the installation process) we would recommend this company-with 5 * We are amazed how quiet our home is and how the quality of the products stand out. This Company did such a wonderful job from start to finish * passing inspection with flying colors. Thank you Window-Depot for making this one of the best Investments we have done on our home of 31years."
"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."

"They replaced 10 windows in my home, and did a great job. I wanted them to do my sliding glass door also. The measuring tech did not measure correctly and the door did not fit when it arrived. They worked with me to make it right. Rich Miller did everything he could to work with me. Everybody makes mistakes, but they tried to make it right."
"They have been around for 25 years so that made us feel better when we were making our decision on a big project like this. Brian our installer was amazing! We have neighbors that used another company for their windows in which one ended up breaking during the process of replacement. They are still picking up glass from that while my house was left with no cleanup at all. We couldn't be happier!"

"I had 2 windows installed and the molding is very much different than the rest of the house. According to the sales person the window frame suppose to be like the existing Windows. They states they do not paint which left the window looking a mess. If you are paying this much for a window it should be done to completion. The window is not sealed somewhere because little small insects are coming through the Kitchen window. One of the Window glass is cracked from the inside of the frame which I am sure it is for all the banging to fit the window. The glass on the Kitchen window does not seem as thick as the other window from the interior. I am still waiting for them to come out and replace the glass which the last time I spoke to someone at Champion it was for February,2019. The Windows blocks the sun temperature very well. Do not expect these Windows to be like your existing Windows. I expected a complete window installation."
"Very, very well! The existing sliding glass door had three panels that were very heavy and the new sliding door going in had three panels and was very heavy. The job was only supposed to take about 2 to three hours. But, when the existing sliding door was taken out they discovered that it was originally installed pretty poorly, and had a lot of shims and actually a cement bag stuffed up in the top tracking area. Ridgetop went above and beyond by ensuring the new door was being installed correctly. They cemented to level out the bottom track area so that when the track was laid it would be level and not have to be shimmed. So, they ended up being here about 6 hours due to original incorrect installation and to ensure the new door was installed correctly. After they installed the new door their cleanup was meticulous. To the point of even wiping down the white vinyl and the window. Which pleased me very much because I am a neat freak. The quality of the door that was installed was excellent! It is Hurricane resistant, noise-reducing, and surprisingly for the weight of it, it slides effortlessly. All in all I am very pleased with Ridge Top exteriors! It is obvious to me that Ridgetop exteriors has great pride and confidence in their work and their products. I would absolutely, most definitely refer them to a friend or even a stranger at the grocery store!"
Regular cleaning and inspecting seals to prevent fogging and maintain clarity.
Yes, you can resilver old mirrors without any issues, and in many cases, it’s is the only way to maintain and preserve old, antique mirrors. Resilvering involves stripping the old silver off of the mirror, replacing the silver, and adding a protective backing to the glass. The process costs around $15 per square foot of glass, making it a relatively inexpensive solution for making older mirrors functional again. You can buy a DIY resilvering kit, but we strongly recommend hiring a professional to avoid additional damage and mistakes.
For small cracks, glass-bonding glue that can be pressed into cracks may be able to save a broken mirror. If a corner of a mirror has been chipped, you may be able to conceal the fact by adding a border or frame to the mirror. Deeper cracks and chips should be addressed by a glass-restoration professional if you're trying to preserve an antique or heirloom mirror.

Some stained glass window pieces could have significant value depending on their artistic and historical impact. Stained glass windows dating back to the 1800s or early 1900s may be worth $2,000 to over $150,000, particularly for prestigious brands like Tiffany. But most stained glass used in residential settings will not have exponential value, particularly if the stained glass is a more modern reproduction of classic styles.
