"Work was professionally done, workmen were professional. Remove and install 4 hurricane impact windows, remove and old mesh patio covering and shutters and install hurricane impact glass covering with sliding glass doors. This took a total of 2 days much shorter than the time span they gave us. Thank you LockTight."
"We have now used Assured Storm Protection for two jobs, including the installation of Supernova accordion shutters, CGI impact glass windows and a PGT impact glass door. Our sales representative, Greg Bono, stayed involved throughout the process and the installers were professional and cleaned up thoroughly after the installations. I highly recommend this business."
"First I want to mention that when I was getting estimates Matt Guinn was the only one that was honest with me. I two companies trying to sell me hurricane impact sliding glass doors saying that the county won't approve the accordion shutters. When I asked Matt if the accordions were acceptable he was honest and said absolutely. I had a very strict budget and he respected that. The staff was always available to answer my questions and the shutters were up just in time for Irma's visit and they stayed in place even after the storm and I was hit rather hard. I highly recommend this company. Thank you Matt and the staff for looking out for me,"
"Maybe I was lucky but Juan Carlos came within 2 hours of my call. He took down my sliding glass patio door and changed the rollers on the bottom. He even adjusted the gasket around the glass which had, somehow in the past, gotten pinched in the frame. He identified the door lock/handle was the incorrect type and changed it for the price of the handle. Total cost, under $200. and under 1 hour. Super nice guy, even in 100 degree heat. I definitely recommend."
"We choose ASP impact windows and sliding doors over other vendors because their product (SIW) had thicker aluminum and glass than other less expensive products. They were able to make one 'eyebrow' window in one piece due to glass thickness that other vendors would have had to do in two pieces due to size. We just felt that overall ASP's SIW windows offered a little more safety. Our city inspector must have thought the same thing because he commented several times about how strong they were and event wrote down what they were for his own personal needs. I assume he has seen a lot of windows to inspect, so that gave me even more confidence that we made the right decision. We also had hurricane fabric installed for a covered section of our patio to replace an accordion that was being removed for storage outside of patio furniture, gas grill and plants during a storm. The hurricane fabric is so strong and convenient, it folds up and is stored in a bag, sitting in our closet. Chris our ASP sales person was great at explaining and patient while we did our due diligence. It did take a while for manufacturing, but definitely worth the wait. The installers were professional, keeping the areas as clean as possible, We are very happy with our new impact windows and sliding doors. Our house looks great with the new windows (and accordions removed). Would highly recommend."
"They arrived early but called first to see if it was okay, They repaired my sliding glass door. They had to replace the rollers and track. They were quick, clean and professional. They even tried to fix the lock on my door which I didn't ask them too. They noticed it was crooked and tried to straighten out. I would recommend and hire again."

"We are overall pleased with the install. However, the guys who installed them left broken glass on my bedroom door that I stepped on. Also, the caulk around the outside could have been smoothed out. Other than that, it was all good."
Yes, it is possible to repair a damaged or cracked mirror, but whether you should do it yourself depends on the extent of the damage. For minor issues like small chips, cracks, and scratches, you can use a DIY approach. Resin-based repair kits can fix minor cracks, while scratches can often be removed with metal polish, nail polish, baking soda, or a glass polisher. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.
However, for more significant damage, DIY repair is not recommended. Repairing and resilvering mirrors is a delicate process that can involve caustic chemicals and requires a high level of precision. The materials for a DIY attempt can cost over $100, which may not be a significant saving compared to hiring a professional. Since a failed attempt could result in more damage and higher repair costs, it is often better to hire a mirror repair expert from the start, especially for large, valuable, or extensively damaged mirrors.
Size and weight are the primary considerations when purchasing a bathroom mirror. Properly measure the mirror size that will fit above your vanity. If your vanity sits in front of a drywall without a stud available, you won’t be able to hang anything that is too heavy. Also, check the material and design. For LED mirrors, look up their IP value. The higher the number, the more resistant it is against water and splash damage.
Standard mirrors come in many different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses, so you can often find a great fit for your space without adding customizations. Custom mirrors are ideal if your space has very specific constraints. For instance, you may need a much longer or wider mirror than you can find in a standard mirror. You might also want a custom mirror if you have particular styling preferences, such as a frame with a specific finish or a unique edge.
For small, non-pressure-related cracks, you can fix them using two-part epoxy. This spares you the cost and hassle of replacing the glass. Simply clean the surface and remove any debris or dirt, wait for the glass to dry, then spread an even layer of mixed epoxy solution over the crack. You can use a putty knife or rubber spatula to push the epoxy into the crack.
Prior to the middle part of the 1900s, glass manufacturers used a technique that involved blowing glass into cylinder shapes that were then flattened out to create sheets used for windows and doors. This technique often left behind ripples and inconsistencies in the glass.
