"Bob inspected the window frames and provided a few solutions I hadn’t considered. Same for interior doors no longer hanging properly. Although I typically prefer paying by the job instead of by the hour, Bob was quite focused on his work and use of time. I will be asking him to return in the spring to complete a few additional repairs and install a storm door."
"Arlmont Glass replaced a broken living room window for me. First of all they will come to your home for a free estimate. Then will email the invoice for the job. Then you schedule the work. Three simple steps, everyone is polite and wonderful to do business with. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone or to use them again as my home has aging windows. Thank you for a job well done."
"Phenomenal!!! The gentlemen who installed my new windows did a wonderful job. I thought the project would take days, but they got it done in one day. They were patient with my kids and even answered back when my toddler said Hi Uncle i am very satisfied and will highly recommend them in my REI group when someone asks about window replacement. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!"

"Existing stoop in front of house was in desperate need of replacement. Decided to replace existing structure with a portico. The work was completed quickly and the quality was outstanding. Price was good for what was built. Would definitely hire again and recommend to others."
"Good Window Works, Inc. gave me an estimate that was close to the amount that I was charged. They came on time and my cracked pane of glass was repaired in a timely manner"
"I had to call three times before Tony finally called me back to make an appt. to give me an estimate. He said he'd arrive at 10 a.m. that same morning, then called back to say 9:30. I hopped in the shower. When I got out (9:20) he had already come to my house, measured the door, and left an estimate of $1,350 -- $750 for the actual door and $600 for the installation. I didn't have an opportunity to discuss with him what I wanted; he left before he was supposed to arrive! When I spoke with Tony later on the phone, I told him that my research showed that six-panel, fiberglass doors without windows (the kind I wanted) cost between $200 - $400, and so I asked if I could just pay him $600 for installation. He said that he didn't like to install other people's doors -- he in the business of selling doors. It should be pointed out that manufacturers have standards for doors that are directly comparable, unless you want something custom. In other words, he wanted to charge me almost TRIPLE the price for a standard door. If I didn't buy his door, he said that he was so busy, he wouldn't be able to get around to installing any door that I would buy myself."
"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."
"We had a great experience with Fast Glass. We are in a renovated garden duplex and our builder had a very difficult time with their glass contractor and our shower doors never got installed. We finally just took over and used Service Magic to find a contractor. Paul responded immediately, went to the condo for measurments the next day and had us a quote right away. We ordered the next day and the doors were ready within a week and installed within the 7 business days he had promised. Everything looks great. We highly recommend Fast Glass."
Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.
Costs depend on mirror size, mounting hardware, and additional features like lighting.
Cutting glass yourself can be dangerous, as the edges are sharp and can easily cause lacerations if you’re not careful. Working with larger pieces of glass is especially dangerous, as they can be cumbersome and difficult to handle without shattering. If you’re uncomfortable doing the work yourself, you can hire a professional to get the job done safely.
To tell if a window is single or double-pane, focus on the edge. Double-pane windows have two glass layers separated by a spacer, which you can usually see around the edges. For single-pane windows, it’s just one sheet of glass. Another easy trick: shine a light at the window—single-pane glass reflects once, while double-pane glass reflects twice. Lastly, if you feel both sides of the glass on a cold day, double-paned windows will feel warmer because of the insulating gap between the panes.
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.
