"John is very polite and professional. He replaced a broken window we had and also replaced our house shutters. He is the one to go to when we need to do the rest of our windows. Very high quality window from what we had. Very please with his work. Definately 5 stars."
"These guys are pretty good. Very expedient and thorough. I had my home power washed and lawn mowed. It has kept pretty nicely. I wanted my driveway and sidewalk pressure washed as well, but the one individual stated he did not have the equipment at the time and would come back; I haven't seen him return yet, but I assume since they are mowing the lawn for me, it will happen one day! :) Otherwise, this service is good to go for me."

These caulks will not last long and may shrink and pull away from the window as temperatures go up and down.
