"We replaced our windows 15+ years ago. We chose Wallside and I am glad that we did. Most of our windows had small issues from over the many years of usage. I literally was going to rehire Wallside to replace a few of the windows that needed most attention. However, they came out and said that our windows had a lifetime warranty and that they would either be repaired or replaced. And that is what happened. I am so grateful for this company. The gentleman who repaired and replaced the windows that needed attention was quick, thorough, and precise. I feel so much better going into the fall and winter. Thanks Wallside!"
"Dan and his team did an excellent job! They were professional and on time. Dan replaced a ceiling to floor mirror and the glass in four windows. One of the windows was missing the entire frame. He ordered the frame put the glass in the frame and installed it. We were pleased with all of the work done. I would highly recommend Wiseman Glass for all of your glass needs!!"

"They were respectful and polite throughout the entire window replacement process. Josh was helpful and even fixed some broken tile that was broken while installing a bathroom window. I would recommend them."
"Great service from Anna and Frank - who made the process of getting the work done (both glass block and vinyl windows) painless. Would certainly recommend and would be happy to have them back for future projects."
"I highly recommend Household Heroes. They responded very quickly to my request for a quote on a new tempered glass top for our patio table. Once the request was approved, the order and installation went smoothly and the glass fit perfectly. The installers were very courteous and professional. 5 stars!"
"A wonderful experience all around! We had 15 windows and a sliding glass door replaced. Our Salesperson, Harlan, was very professional and explained the benefits of the new windows and all about Power as a company. The installers arrived on time and completed the entire job in a day! Everything was installed perfectly and the crew was courteous and cleaned up after themselves. Erin came to visit the next day to make sure everything was up to their standards and addressed any questions we had. Most certainly the best experience we've ever had with a home contractor. Highly Recommend!"

Yes, you can resilver old mirrors without any issues, and in many cases, it’s is the only way to maintain and preserve old, antique mirrors. Resilvering involves stripping the old silver off of the mirror, replacing the silver, and adding a protective backing to the glass. The process costs around $15 per square foot of glass, making it a relatively inexpensive solution for making older mirrors functional again. You can buy a DIY resilvering kit, but we strongly recommend hiring a professional to avoid additional damage and mistakes.
The average mirror has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. After that, the coating begins to deteriorate, losing its reflective properties. Acrylic mirrors have a slightly shorter lifespan of seven to 10 years. Higher-quality acrylic sheets with UV-resistant properties have lifespans similar to those of your average mirror. By maintaining your mirrors and keeping them out of direct sunlight when not in use, you can extend their lifespan. Some mirrors can last for decades.
You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.
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.
Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.
