My name is Matt and I have been working in the construction industry for over 6 years. I specialize in window/door installation and repair but have experience with carpentry work as well.
D&D Aluminum is a great company. Carey Tarplay came to our home to give an estimate. He suggested we visit his showroom, which we did. We were able to see all of the options to choose from, styles, colors, etc. We wanted to replace our old sliding glass doors with French doors and Carey explained everything that needed to be done and helped us choose the proper layout for the side glass and French doors. My husband and I had checked out a couple of competitors showrooms and I had fallen in love with a front door at one of them. D&D Aluminum didn't carry this line, but Carey said not to worry, he would be able to special order this door for us. This was above and beyond the service I expected.
The doors and windows were installed on time and perfect. The Cooper City building inspector said it was a great job.
We are so happy with the workmanship that we now are using D&D Aluminum to add a screened in patio to the back of our house.
WE highly recommend D&D Aluminum to anyone in the market for new windows and doors.
"Best painting (construction) service I have ever had. Joey came in, gave us an estimate, hit budget, beat expecting timing by about a week. Results are basically... perfect. As we don't live local to the beach house, we had to communicate via txt and it was awesome - pics every day on the work done. Highly recommend!"
"Professional, on time, careful and exceptional. Best value for the money. Gave us just the right amount of information upon which to make a decision. After the order, they arrived quickly and did the work efficiently. It's refreshing to find folks in the crafts who actually do what they say they will do. End result is outstanding."
"I had them build a deck with a screen room and replace sliding glass doors with French doors. Work was done on time, efficiently (even though the weather didn't cooperate). The workers were pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. Cleaned everything up afterwards. Totally satisfied with Hometown and have recommended them several times on FaceBook."
"George at ringtail painting is nothing short of a class act! Great communication! Excellent craftsmanship with spectacular pricing! 3000$ for our interior paint job was a phenomenal price! Ringtail will be our go to painters from here on out! Thank you and keep up the great work!"
"Luke went above and beyond to restore the beauty of our historic with an emaculate paint job. He is professional, courteous, detail-oriented, and thorough. We plan to hire him for all of our future painting needs."
"The windows are beautiful! It’s so nice to be able to see out the windows and to be able to open & close them (the previous windows were jalousies from 1959). They also replaced the front doors of each unit because they were installed incorrectly by a different company (they opened “in” instead of “out” which is not hurricane impact protection correct). The workers were professional, hard working, courteous & respectful and did a very good job!"
A common way to modernize arched windows is to install interior window treatments that allow light through the curved portion up to and let you cover the bottom portion for privacy. You can also install plantation shutters to make an arched window look more modern. From the exterior, arched windows can appear outdated if they’re coupled with ornate trim, so toning down the decor can make your window look more natural with a modern design.
Contrary to popular belief, wavy glass in older homes isn't caused by warping. The blowing technique used to create windows in homes dating back to the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s left behind small bubbles that create a wavy effect. If a glass window is functional, there's no need to consider wavy glass damaged. In fact, many homeowners prefer the old charm of wavy glass.
The best way to transport wine glasses is to pack them upright in a divided, padded box designed specifically for stemware. First, wrap each glass individually with bubble wrap or packing paper, ensuring both the bowl and the delicate stem are cushioned. If you don't have a divided box, you can still pack them safely. After wrapping each glass and securing the material with tape, place them upright in a sturdy box. Layer soft items like dish towels, crumpled paper, or clothing between the glasses to prevent them from touching. Fill any remaining gaps with additional padding to keep the glasses snug and prevent shifting. Finally, clearly label the box as “FRAGILE GLASSWARE” or “FRAGILE–HANDLE WITH CARE” to ensure careful handling.
The size of your mirror depends on the size of your vanity and personal preference. Most people prefer a mirror that is 1 to 2 inches narrower than the width of their vanity, while others like a mirror that’s the same width as their vanity. Remember that the mirror should sit 5 to 10 inches above your faucet when choosing dimensions.
The easiest way for DIYers to smooth the edges of cut glass is to use sandpaper. Wearing protective gloves, gently sand the sharp edges smooth using low-grit sandpaper and working up to high-grit sandpaper. You can also use a multitool with a rotating sandpaper cylinder to make quicker work of the project.
