"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."
"Been in the co stir too. And remodeling industry for 25+ years. Great work, professionalism, and attention to detail. 4 shower doors, and glass installed in walk in showers."
"This was our first time using them. We found them on the internet then gave them a call to put an addition on. Everything turned out beautifully. When we called to get pricing and talk about the job they were very friendly and accommodating. They made the process seamless! Their pricing was very reasonable. The workers were prompt, polite and professional. They were very courteous and they were respectful of our home. They also did a great job of being tidy and cleaning up after themselves! I will have to remember next time that remodeling is a bit of a noisy process, but I can handle the noise for such a beautiful outcome! You will not be disappointed!"
"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"
"Had broken glass in skylight replaced. Another company wanted to replace whole skylight which was more expensive but NE Glass said that was not necessary as only glass needed replacement. Glass was replaced & skylight is good as new. Job done quickly & contractors very nice & professional."
"During the quoting process we were not pressured to use any certain product, or to secure any certain time to have this done. It was all up to us. When we asked for their suggestion, they were honest and informed us of which we did not see such as the darker shingles would tend to make the roof warmer than the lighter ones. We have gotten all positive comments from the neighbors and one had actually already used Roofers Edge a year prior and they were pleased with their work. They were punctual, thorough, courteous, and cleaned up totally after the job. We were contacted the next day to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction and to check to see if we were pleased with their work. Which we were, we have more work to be done to our house and will call them back to work with us. "
"We contacted the company for an estimate. They were able to schedule one for a week after the phone call. Tony came out and measured all the windows, showed me a sample of the storm windows, and wrote out the quote on the spot. Once we decided to go with Precision, we called and ordered our windows. We were told it would take about 2 weeks to manufacture the windows and then they can be installed at any time. It actually took about 3 weeks for the phone call letting us know the windows were ready but that didn't effect anything on our end, so no big deal. We tried to schedule the install for on a few occasions, but each time the weather won out and because of rain the installation had to be delayed. Finally, 1 1/2 months after our initial call to the company, we were able to book a clear day to have the work done. We did not need to be home, which was very convenient, so I arrived home to very beautiful new storm windows on the outside of the house! All of the windows are very high quality and compliment the outside of the house nicely. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a great, family owned company!"
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.
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 fences are extremely strong. You can drop 10mm thick tempered glass on concrete and it wouldn't break. Considering that certain types of glass are bulletproof, glass has the capacity to be exceptionally durable and resistant to breaking. Certain types of glass, like laminated glass, are designed to not shatter at all, but rather break into giant pieces.
Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.
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.
