"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."

"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."
"I obtained 5 quotes prior to making a final decision. All of the companies in the Tampa bay area wanted insane prices. So on a whim, I asked my sister from Ft. Lauderdale to pass me the contact information of the company that did her windows. She gave me their information and to my surprise they were willing to travel to the Tampa area to both measure and install. Their price was about 33% less than the 4 local companies I contacted. Regarding the other companies: One of four wouldn't even give me a quote in an appointment because he couldn't sit down and do his "presentation". The did my whole project without any hiccups. The installation was the week they initially had estimated. Permits were pulled. Inspection passed on the first attempt and permit was 100% closed. I am extremely appreciative that they were willing to come from South Florida to the Tampa area for my Windows. I also replaced our Sliding Glass door to the backyard and the Front door. One of the items that most surprised me was a dog was barking across the street and not thinking anything about it, I closed the door as I was walking in and immediately there was silence. These doors greatly reduce the noise pollution from the outside. I am also thankful for they found ways to save me money. I had double windows in some areas and they offered to combine them into one large window which reduced the number of total windows saving me money. I also liked the look more since it is less framing involved so you get more of a picture window. I am happy to know I do not have to put up ever shutters again. This is especially important as we are active duty and when we move, I don't want to bother my family to put up plywood up. My home is from the 1980's and therefore never had shutters. Lastly since these windows are so airtight and seal the home, my electricity is very low. I actually have to force the system to run because the temperature stays comfortable so it barely runs now. I personally like to move the air around. These guys were respectful of my time, showed up to the appointment. Explained everything. Did permits & inspections. Showed up on time for the installation. My whole home had new windows in doors in 1 day. The traveled from far to do the installation and were appreciative of my business. I will 100% highly recommend their services. I know their name isn't one of the big ones, but their service is top notch."
"I had all the windows and one sliding glass door replaced my house. Total came to 17 thousand dollars (which after shopping around is a good price). I was told the windows would be in in two months. After several calls from me to them checking the status they arrived after 10 weeks. Windows were installed within two days by guys who knew what they were doing. They were clean and on time both days. During the install one of them ran over a driveway light (which isn’t a big deal $15 on Amazon) but I was told they would replace it when they came to install the covers on the windows after the inspection was complete. The inspector came and the job was approved. Now this is where they lose stars... I have called talk with several people about the covers that were suppose to be installed after a month nothing has happened. Every person I’ve talk to, told me they would get back to me either the next day or the day after but nothing. I have told them I can do it but I need a little direction on how but still radio silence. You would think that after $17000 they could call me back but nope. So if you want to work with a company they takes your money does some of the job then doesn’t call you back when there’s issues hire Ridge Top.

Yes, WD-40 can remove stickers from glass thanks to its chemical properties that can break down adhesives. Be sure to wear protective gloves when handling WD-40. Spray the window or glass item, and let it sit for 10 minutes before scraping it with a plastic scraper or credit card.
Getting a streak-free shine after cleaning your windows requires both the right cleaning solutions—which can either include warm water and dish soap or warm water and rubbing alcohol—and the right tools—namely, a squeegee and a microfiber cloth. To make your streak-free glass cleaner, combine one gallon of warm water with a few drops of dish soap, and mix. Apply with a sprayer or sponge, and then dry with a squeegee, microfiber cloth, or old black-and-white newspaper pages.
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.
You should dust your mirrors once every one to two weeks as a part of your normal cleaning routine, and you should plan on cleaning with a glass cleaner or DIY cleaning solution once a month or so. This will help reduce the buildup of hygiene products like hair spray on the mirror, as well as oils and dirt from fingers. You can always spot-clean between regular cleanings if you notice your mirror getting dirty or smudged.
Despite their popularity and modern styling, glass railings have a few drawbacks. The first is their high initial cost. While they cost little to maintain, they can be costly to install. Also, scratches and chips in the glass are highly visible and require repairs. Additionally, glass railings require frequent cleaning to maintain their good looks.
