"Brian is easy to get a hold of and easy to work with. He came out on a Saturday to take a look at a leak around my sliding glass door. Worked hard for 4 straight hours installing a fix. Would recommend."
I am so happy that I decided to go with Fox Creek Builders to install my window and 2 sliding glass doors. From order to install the process was excellent + only took about 3 weeks. Amazing since it took another vendor a month to tell me they could not fill the order I previously requested. Max, the owner, came out with Fred to measure and discuss my request. When Fred installed the custom doors + window they fit better than the original doors they replaced---fit like a glove. Fred was extremely pleasant, neat + a precision installer. They removed all the old debris, vacuumed all the rooms, deck + cleaned all the windows after install. I did not even have to remove my blinds during the process + they were particular about routing my outside cable wire. The doors are very high quality argon + insulated glass. My husband + I just love how smoothly both the doors + screens move along with the other bells+ whistles. Even my dog loves the doors + the crew. Max came out and inspected the job + again explained the features so we did not miss anything. We couldn't be more pleased with this purchase--well worth the money + I just wish I had done this sooner. Thanks to the Fox Creek Builders--Great team and Great work.

"Our experience with Garrety Glass has been excellent thus far. We were interested in a retractable awning and had contacted another dealer prior to calling Garrety Glass. The other dealer canceled our 1st appointment and then called the day of the 2nd appointment to cancel again. At that point, we knew we needed someone else that would be reliable. Our appointment with Garrety Glass was never canceled. Our sales person, Jordan Merrifield was excellent and came prepared with a Mini retractable awning along with different fabrics. We could see, touch, and feel the products. Our installation team consisted of Micah, Kyle, and Devin who were at our home at the stated time. They explained everything in detail and showed us how everything worked. They were simply excellent, professional, courteous, and thorough."
"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."
"Everything went great. My windows and sliding glass doors look wonderful. The crew was very clean and professional and went through the whole project with me from start to finish. Would definitely recommend."

"We are overall pleased with the install. However, the guys who installed them left broken glass on my bedroom door that I stepped on. Also, the caulk around the outside could have been smoothed out. Other than that, it was all good."
You can purchase standard mirrors up to 98 by 80 inches or larger custom mirrors. However, larger mirrors often need to comprise more than one piece of glass.
Most bathroom mirrors last 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance. The actual lifespan is determined by the quality of the mirror, its materials, the way it was hung, and the overall ventilation and humidity level in your bathroom. Meanwhile, LED bathroom mirrors tend to have a lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours.
The easiest way for DIYers to smooth the edges of cut glass is to use sandpaper. Wearing protective gloves, gently sand the sharp edges smooth using low-grit sandpaper and working up to high-grit sandpaper. You can also use a multitool with a rotating sandpaper cylinder to make quicker work of the project.
Yes, you can replace just one pane of glass in a sliding glass door, but you may need to contact the door manufacturer directly to get the proper dimensions of the pane. It’s also worth checking your door’s warranty, as various parts may be covered for a particular timeframe, so you may not have to pay for the replacement pane. But consider the condition of the rest of the door. If the door is old or in bad shape, replacing the entire door is probably more cost-effective.
Just how long it takes to install a wall mirror depends on the size of your wall, the type of mirror, the installation method, whether you decide to hire a professional, and the number of installers. For smaller walls with multiple trained professionals and acrylic mirror sheets, you can anticipate having your wall finished within an hour. Larger walls comprised of several custom mirrors can take upward of four hours to complete.
