"Eddie was highly knowledgeable and helpful after my kids broke my window during a winter storm. He replaced the glass in a challenging situation. I highly recommend him."
"Presidential Exteriors is a well-managed company. We had twenty-five, very large, windows, two large sliding glass doors and the front door replaced. Everyone, starting with the young man who approached us to talk about the company, the salespeople and the team doing the work was professional, polite, honest, pleasant and super careful. The windows, sliding glass doors and the front door look amazing. Our house is fifty-two-years old and badly needed to be "refreshed". The quality of their products is excellent. While the work was being done, several people from the company came by to check on the progress. After the job was completed, we met with Ben who came by to do a final inspection and answer any questions or concerns we may have. The crew cleaned up and vacuumed before they left. We will use Presidential Exteriors again to replace another door."

"We had a few different windows we were looking to replace, including a set of living room windows, with our stated goal of maximizing glass. I provided a photo of the design we wanted, including the limited separation between the panes for site lines. We selected Whiting after several back and forth questioning to confirm that we would be maximizing glass. We were told that the separation would be 5.5" (they knew another contractor stated 6.5", and we thought that was too wide, would disrupt the site line, and looked too chunky). Turns out by 5.5", they meant 8" from pane to pane (vs. about 2" for our original windows)... I noticed during install and told them that was not what we were told we were supposed to be getting. I immediately sent an email to our salesperson and the installer said I would hear from the owner. The response from the sales person (the next day) was essentially, "Sorry you are unhappy, vinyl has a wider frame (NOW THIS COMES OUT?), please send us a check." I sent the owner an email the afternoon of the install to let him know my issues. The owner did not call until the next day, and said that he was not there to hear our conversation so couldn't do much without talking to the sales person. The next communication was to set up a "final walkthru" by the salesperson. I told him that I wanted the owner available by phone so that he can listen in to the issues, I was told he would be, but he was not dialed in during the scheduled walkthru. Again, the salesperson stated the issue was a wrong assumption and miscommunication. He knew exactly why we didn't select another contractor (their window setup was too chunky). We are now stuck w/a window setup that is clearly not maximizing glass. If you know exactly what you want or live in an HOA community, they may be a fine contractor - as the install went pretty well the team was nice and pretty neat. BUT if you are looking for something that isn't specifically designated by HOA limitations -- I would take what they say the product will look like with a grain of salt.
UPDATE: The company offered us a discount to the contract price due to the "miscommunication." I really appreciated the fact that they promptly sent someone out after the fact (including my initial review) after I emailed them about a draft coming in by the windows. They did what they could (which helped), but seems the main issue was that our siding contractor (not Whiting) had yet to caulk the outside."
"This is the 3rd time I have used this company. As usual we have been very pleased with the quality of the work. Nicole is very responsive when I call her for a service appointment. This time Jonathan came to do the work. I had a bathroom mirror where the screws holding the mirror has gone into the drywall with the anchors. It was very unsteady on the wall so I asked if it needed to be replaced. Jonathan said that he could move the mirror slightly and put the screws and anchors in new holes and at the same time mend the existing holes that are not being used. He did a great job with the mirror and the old holes in the wall. The bottom of the wooden frame on my patio door has rotted over the years and it needed to be replaced. Since I have no idea what to buy to do all the jobs, as before the tech went to my local Home Depot to make the purchases. He came back with water-treated slab of wood for the bottom frame. He said it would take about 2-3 hours for him to take the door out and to make the replacement piece. It sure did take that long and more. I was very impressed with Jonathan, he managed to take a slab of wood, make it into a U-shape frame on the top and make holes on the bottom for the sliding door wheels. Unfortunately, he had a little mishap with the door. When he tried to unscrew the two bolts on each side, one of the bolts would not come out, I guess it was stripped so Jonathan tried to cut the bolt with his saw which he did, but not before he accidentally nicked the double pane tempered glass on the door. The entire outer glass pane has cracked but not shattered into pieces. Jonathan had to order a new double pane tempered glass for my door which would take 7-10 days and then come back to install it. Of course I was not going to be charged for the new glass or for the installation. Jonathan and James came back 2 weeks later and installed the new glass. The bottom frame looked good after Jonathan put a coat of primer on it. I will have to call them back in the Spring to paint the entire door among other paint job that I may have for them by then. The pull down light was installed and a new extension cord was replaced on the workbench light fixture. Good thing I purchase the Angie's List deal online before hand and saved a little bit of money there. Overall, I am still very happy with the job. The price is a bit more than I anticipated because of the work involved in making the wooden piece and of course Jonathan was on the clock too when he went shopping at Home Depot. The entire staff were very professional, friendly and professional which I really appreciated. I have called other handyman company before I settled on this company. The other company wanted me to supply the material. What the heck do I know of what to buy so that is why I did not use them. It is more expensive for them to go and get the stuff they need but worth the hassle and time of me getting the wrong stuff and had to take them back and maybe still get the wrong stuff again, so better for the tech to go."
"Excellent job on the glass replacement. Could have communicated better on time of arrival delays, but I would recommend their company for glass repair or replacement"
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.
Yes, it is possible to repair a damaged or cracked mirror, but whether you should do it yourself depends on the extent of the damage. For minor issues like small chips, cracks, and scratches, you can use a DIY approach. Resin-based repair kits can fix minor cracks, while scratches can often be removed with metal polish, nail polish, baking soda, or a glass polisher. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.
However, for more significant damage, DIY repair is not recommended. Repairing and resilvering mirrors is a delicate process that can involve caustic chemicals and requires a high level of precision. The materials for a DIY attempt can cost over $100, which may not be a significant saving compared to hiring a professional. Since a failed attempt could result in more damage and higher repair costs, it is often better to hire a mirror repair expert from the start, especially for large, valuable, or extensively damaged mirrors.
You can clean the oven window the same way you clean the oven walls. Make a paste of baking soda and water and let it sit on the window overnight before wiping it off with a damp cloth. You might find it helpful to rub the baking soda paste in with an old toothbrush.
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.
Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.
