"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"
Hard water stains are caused by hard water. Hard water contains a lot of minerals, like calcium and magnesium. When water on your glass surfaces dries out, the minerals stay behind and stick to the glass. This results in a residue that looks like white cloudy or streaky spots. Call a pro to install a water softener to banish hard water problems.
The cost to remove a mirrored wall from your home ranges between $100 and $3,300, though the average price is only $500. You can save money by doing it yourself, but make sure you have safety equipment such as goggles and gloves, as well as the proper tools (drywall knife, wire saw, and a plastic sheet or tarp to cover the floor).
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the mirror size and mounting requirements.
You should dust your mirrors once every one to two weeks as a part of your normal cleaning routine, and you should plan on cleaning with a glass cleaner or DIY cleaning solution once a month or so. This will help reduce the buildup of hygiene products like hair spray on the mirror, as well as oils and dirt from fingers. You can always spot-clean between regular cleanings if you notice your mirror getting dirty or smudged.
For small cracks, glass-bonding glue that can be pressed into cracks may be able to save a broken mirror. If a corner of a mirror has been chipped, you may be able to conceal the fact by adding a border or frame to the mirror. Deeper cracks and chips should be addressed by a glass-restoration professional if you're trying to preserve an antique or heirloom mirror.
