"This company is first rate. I had used Unicorp several years ago to re-roof our old house, before we moved. They did a great job then, and after we moved 3 years ago to another house, I found out they also did window replacements, so I called on them again. We had them replace several windows at our current home. The work was done on-time, as promised. We are very pleased with the quality and installation of our new windows. The work was done neatly, and on-time as-scheduled."
"This is the second time that we hired Zen Windows for a project, and we could not be more pleased with the service, professionalism and the results on both occasions. They are very responsive, helped us identify the right products and made the entire process as stress-free as possible. Replacing windows and doors is a big project, and having a company you can trust will do it right makes all the difference. Scott and his team are great to work with!"
"Spectacular! In the driving snow Jeremiah replaced 2-8x11 window panes, one behind a large storm window that need to be removed, for installation. Been staring at the broken glass for years trying to figure out how it came apart, one look and Jeremiah knew it had to be done from the outside...and that is why I hired a pro."
"I’m really impressed with Michael Anthony from ARHT Home absolutions, his professionalisms and sincerealism on every step of the roof work process from the beginning to end was amazing. He called me most every day to give an update on the work. This is my first time hiring someone for this large of a project I had so many doubts to do it or not but Michael explained so well and gave the confidence to go head with the roof project. My roof looks so beautiful that I am getting complements from my neighbors every time that I am outside. Our next project are windows/bay window install.. and yes by Michael which actually will be install really soon before Christmas ?. ...Thank you Michael and your team. From a happy costumer and homeowner Alex Altamirano"
"A. R. Glass did a fantastic job. Instead of having to replace my windows, they were able to come in and replace the glass for considerable savings. I would definitely have them come again. In fact, I had them come for a second job already."
"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."
"I am very pleased with the communication of this company. I reached out to them at a job site and met Leaha's their project manager. The properly got me setup for an estimate of services. I did decide to replace 4 front windows. Deposit was easy to make. Windows came in timely. Yesterday my project manager was also Leah who came first advised me what was going to happen, whom was coming and when. My window team came, two great guys that amazed me how quick they got my windows out. They were upmost polite and respectful of my home and myself. Very little dust and they cleaned up everything. My windows were put in 1982 and I had cracks and they were unsafe. This team worked wonders.....new easy to be clean tilt in windows ...even easy for a woman to move. The window guys the caulking is the best Ive ever seen....so sealed and straight. The went over how to remove screens, clean windows. Kudos to the entire team. Project Manager Leaha drove back...spoke with me, inspected"
"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."
"The Premier Windows and Glass has provided an excellent service for me! A frame of one of the windows in my condo was broken, and I looked for a company that would fix it and prolong the life of the window. So, I was very happy to discover The Premier Windows and Glass. Their technician was very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. Not only did he do a quality job on fixing the frame, but he also explained to me what needs to be done to prevent the window from breaking down again and avoid paying a lot of money for its replacement. In addition, the manager and technician responded to my service request in a prompt manner. The problem was solved on the day when I called the company. Last but not least, the company offers competitive service rates and does not push people to spend more money than is absolutely necessary. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who needs a window to be fixed or replaced."
This happens when condensation forms due to your room temperature being lower than its dew point. You can clean the glass with a combination of baking soda, vinegar, and warm water to wipe away the fog from the doors.
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.
Yes. Vinyl windows have a PVC frame that wraps around a glass panel that is usually made up of two thinner glass panels separated by an insulating, noise-absorbing airspace. Some vinyl windows are triple-glazed, with three insulating air panels within them. This glass helps keep your interior quiet from outside noise while its insulating qualities help your space stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Black spots on the bottom or along the edge of your bathroom mirror are caused by oxidation behind the mirror glass. When moisture and air are trapped between the glass and the backing, they react and cause discoloration. This is sometimes referred to as “mirror rot.” You’ll need to separate the glass and the backing to fully remove it.
Replacing window glass instead of the entire window is more cost-effective, maintains the frame's aesthetics, and reduces waste. It improves insulation and energy efficiency and can be completed more quickly with minimal disruption to the home.
