"This was phase 2 of 3 of my window and door project. I installed another patio door and 2 bathroom windows with privacy glass. Gus had his team replace all the rotted wood and add new aluminum capping on the exterior. The products came in earlier than expected and they were able to install everything well ahead of schedule. Again, I am so pleased my neighbor referred Lifetime to me as Gus was unbelievable to work with."
"The results are really nice, but just took too long to complete, otherwise our project would have been rated "A". The process started in late September 2019 when we were asking for estimates. We really liked working with Teresa and selected Excel for the project in November 2019. We got scheduled for January 6th, 2020 to start a project which was to take 2 to 3 weeks. Roman did the remodel and he was fantastic. Great workmanship and easy to schedule with. While 95% of the project was completed in three weeks, delays with the walk-in shower glass and the linen closet doors pushed that remaining 5% completion out weeks. Covid-19 then added to the delays. The linen closet doors were finally delivered on May 5th, 2020. We are happy with the end result, even after the delays."

"Tom and his guys are all amazing on so many levels. We opened an account on Angie?s List as we wanted to find the best quality company and more importantly the best people. We started by calling out the top guys on Angie?s List to get estimates. Tom came out to the house to look at what we wanted and spent the time with us providing an education on every detail which was great because we are not well versed in concrete. He is very easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor. He covered what he would do, what to expect, how things would run, how long before we could use it, etc. He covered things we didn?t even think of. Tom called J.U.L.I.E. and we are on the border of two cities with a mailing address in one and utilities from the other. He did the leg work to figure out how to get the permit. One of the estimates we got prior to Tom we would have had to do that all ourselves. He set and met our expectations well. He provided so many options on the look, pattern design, color, stamped, etc. You can tell he is an expert with experience in his trade. We had a few questions and he took the time to answer all of our questions and did not make us feel rushed. He brought pictures of other jobs he had completed so we could see his work. (Which was amazing!) Tom?s availability is impeccable. Any time we wanted to get in touch with Tom and called him he either answered right away or called back extremely quickly. After Tom left from giving us the estimate we canceled the other appointments as there was simply no comparison to the others. We had a concrete patio poured with a step out our back sliding glass doors and two steps to our front porch re-done as after 14 years as they cracked and left a gap from the stoop. You can tell they all care about the work they do. One thing that was very important to us is that we wanted rounded corners, and we wanted to put our handprints in the patio. They wait until the exact time so we could each put our prints when the concrete was ready. They even helped us snap a picture when doing the handprints. Tom and his team went so far above and beyond our expectations. We were thoroughly satisfied which is what drove us to write a stellar review. Two weeks later we re-hired Tom to drill anchors for our gazebo and install j-channel on the siding. They took extra steps to measure to make sure everything was the same distance all the way around from the edge before drilling. They informed us of the size of the screw driver needed in the event we later wanted to remove the gazebo ourselves. He even gave us extra set of concrete screws. This is going above and beyond as they did not have to do that, but they did as they care. The holes are small so if we ever decide to change the size of the gazebo the holes are easy to fill in and cover. Tom, we are so pleased with you and your crew?s work that in the future when we need work done we will be calling you again and we will be recommending you to our family and friends. In talking with Tom and Zack we learned they do much more that concrete. We will be hiring them in the future to help cut, frame, and install a door out the back of our garage. I feel that the overall level of care and attention that you provided it was like you were pouring your own patio. Thanks a million Tom and your guys ? you do incredible work and we would never go with anyone else but Tom?s Construction. "
"From the moment Steve showed up to our home to help quote our windows, the experience was comfortable, low-pressure, and unexpectedly speedy! Weâ d already made up our minds on another company when Steve arrived, as theyâ d sold us on their warranty and product, which was â unmatchedâ . Then, Steve came in with a more reasonable price, a turnaround time of 6 weeks instead of 6 months, a great product, the same amazing warranty (backed up by his incredibly personal service and support), and a knowledge of his product the other company lacked. He caught several up-sells the other rep snuck by us, and pointed out some impossible promises the other rep has made that would have resulted in us hating the final look of our home. The installation crew was punctual (my biggest complaint about the job, because Iâ m not a punctual person OR a morning person myself), polite, protected my home with detailed pre work to protect carpets and flooring, and super efficient. The whole house was done in 2 days. The carpets were in better shape than when Iâ d left as they vacuumed up dust, and saved me a chore I hate. Since the windows have been installed, my curtains no longer flutter when thereâ s a big breeze. My home is significantly quieterâ ¦ I hadnâ t realized it was so LOUD until the absence of sound was here. I canâ t wait to see my first gas bill with windows that donâ t leak. We did order a tinted glass window for our bathroom, which came in untinted. Steve immediately took care of it, which Iâ m sure my neighbors appreciate. He also helped us change our order once it was in to add a second tinted window to our kids bathroom, which looks great. I texted Steve earlier to let him know my toddler has been petting his new bathroom window and cooing â window!â so suffice to say, everyone loves the job his team has done. Hire ReNew Windows and Siding, you will be incredibly happy with the job. Iâ ve been talking them up to everyone I know!"

"Russell gave us an estimate on the windows and glass door that needed replacing. The final cost was exactly as he estimated. We were given a date about 4 months later for the installation. When it got closer to the date, we got a call that they had a opening earlier than expected, so the installers were here about 10 days earlier than originally thought. It was a 2-day install which they told us when they arrived. They were very patient and answered all our questions, cleaned up nicely and were very professional."
"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."
When glass shatters, larger shards quickly drop to the ground, but smaller particles can go on an airborne journey up to 15 feet from the point of impact. So check under furniture, along the edges of rugs, and in dark corners for glass fragments. When in doubt, vacuum the entire room a few times after thoroughly cleaning.
Yes, it is possible to replace only the glass pane in a window without replacing the entire frame. However, this is a complex task that is best handled by a window repair professional. A technician can safely cut the seal, remove the old glass, install the new pane, and ensure it is properly sealed. For double-pane windows, this process involves creating a vacuum between the panes and filling it with insulative gas to restore the window's energy efficiency. Hiring a professional also ensures you select the right type of glass for your needs. This repair is almost always more affordable than replacing the entire window and frame.
Glass has one of the longest lifespans of any fencing materials, lasting anywhere from 10 to 30 years on average. Just how long your glass fence lasts depends on several factors, including how well you maintain your fence, the climate, and the type of glass you use.
If you live somewhere with severe weather like hail, tornadoes, or hurricanes, expect your glass to have a shorter lifespan. Pool glass is one of the thickest tempered glass materials and may last longer than other options—especially compared to laminated glass.
Whether it's better to repair or replace a broken mirror depends on its size, value, and the extent of the damage. For small, inexpensive mirrors, replacement is often the better choice, as the average repair cost of around $200 can be close to the price of a new one. However, for large mirrors—like those over a bathroom vanity or large floor mirrors—repair is usually more cost-effective. A new large mirror can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, while repairs typically range from $50 to $200. You should also consider the mirror's age and sentimental value. Antique mirrors and family heirlooms are often priceless and irreplaceable, making repair the most sensible or only option.
The average mirror has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. After that, the coating begins to deteriorate, losing its reflective properties. Acrylic mirrors have a slightly shorter lifespan of seven to 10 years. Higher-quality acrylic sheets with UV-resistant properties have lifespans similar to those of your average mirror. By maintaining your mirrors and keeping them out of direct sunlight when not in use, you can extend their lifespan. Some mirrors can last for decades.
