"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."

"We replaced the windows in our 1933 home through the services of MadCity Windows. From the initial contact with their sales representative to final installation, the company provided top notch professional work. With the draft from the old windows and the cold of the glass, we are already saving on our energy bills. Our house had old, large windows, so they had to be custom made. As an industrial designer and interior designer, we find our windows to be of excellent quality."
"Great! They showed up on time and were able to complete the installation of two ceiling fans. In one case the fan was swapped out for another; in another case we wanted the fan installed (there was already a ceiling outlet and blocking for it. Everything has worked well for more than a year. Since this work, I have since hired Sal and his team for other work. He'll talk to you first about what you want to have done before he even makes an appointment and if he thinks he's not the right fit for what you want done, he is upfront about that and has a suggestion for someone else you can call. For example we've recently decided to redo our shower enclosure and given that we only wanted to replace the glass, he suggested we remove him as the middle man and put me in touch with the glass folks he would have used if he handled the job. The price was reasonable for the work performed."
"J.C. is a very polite and friendly contractor. He built a screened-in porch on the back of our house. He and his helper did a good job except for using cheap materials in the ceiling that bulged in places and a screen door that would not hold it's shape. J.C. made an effort to correct these issues. He replaced the door with another door that also would not hold it's shape. His helper tried tacking the ceiling which worked to some extent. J.C. is an excellent tiler. He retiled our kitchen floor and bathroom. These are excellent. My husband and I would both recommend him highly for tiling. He and his crew laid bamboo flooring in our living area and hallway. It is beautiful except for some buckling issues. We made some notes of a few other areas that needed finishing. (3/4 round by the fireplace, sealing of the rock tile at the front door.) The frustrating part of our experience was the bathroom. My husband and I spent an enormous amount of time (50 miles round trip, 3 trips) to take care of tiling for the bathroom. Our first selection didn't work because when we were back home, we were told that some items were out of stock. If the tile is on the show room, it doesn't mean it is in s tock. Our second trip was wasted when the salesman JC wanted us to use showed us only high-end products and our bill was going to be through the roof. We only agreed to a third trip if JC would guarantee to come with us. JC highly recommended a walk-in shower. I was skeptical about our shower not spraying the bathroom floor with water without a door. JC explained how it would work and not to worry. A year later, we are finally contracting someone to come in and install a glass door so I don't have to wipe up the bathroom floor after a shower. JC was not always present when the workers were there. As a result a lot of work had to be redone due to lack of experience. J.C agreed that his continuing presence was needed in order to guide the progress and accuracy of his workers. When we pointed out that the tiles to the bathroom looked crooked, JC explained it was the initial contractor who didn't build the house square. That sort of information would have been helpful before the work began and not after it was completed. J.C. found a great solution and redid the vanity wall to line up with the tile. The make-up mirror was installed too high and only cold water came out of the shower head until JC thought they may have overlooked the scald-prevention device. Once it was removed, it was fine. We both like J.C very much. I think it became frustrating for him when we asked him about problems we saw and how it would be corrected. It became clear that he was ready to move on to the next job. The overall experience and quality of work we graded at about a C. On the other hand, J. C.'s tiling would be A+"

There is no blanket number when it comes to glass thickness for soundproofing. Thicker glass does help reduce noise, but it’s only part of the solution. Most single-pane windows use glass that’s ⅛” to ¼” thick. While increasing the thickness can cut down on sound, the real noise-blocking power comes from stacking layers. Double—and triple-pane windows are far more effective for soundproofing. The combination of mass and separation breaks up sound waves better than thick glass could on its own.
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.
A window may fail because of age, defective mechanisms, or moisture. Depending on the issue, the window may be fixed with simple repairs. Otherwise, you’ll have to invest in replacing it. You can avoid damaged windows but keeping up with window maintenance.
The cost of a window repair varies significantly depending on which part is damaged. Here is a breakdown of common repairs and their estimated costs:
Broken seal or fogginess between panes: $70–$245
Cracked pane: $40–$100
Broken glass: $200–$2,000
Sash, seal, or track repair: $200–$600
Latch or hardware issues: $75–$200
Broken window frame: $175–$1,000
Window screen replacement: $140–$480
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).
