"Excellent!! We are so glad we picked an experienced company. Ed and his helper, Johnny, did a wonderful job on a hundred year old house. There were many little details around the windows that took a long time to do right. Nothing in this house is even and they did a great job making things work. We had them install an awning window in the redone back mudroom and new windows in a sun room upstairs. All the siding was insulated underneath which should help with the heating and A/C bills. They cleaned up every day and were sensitive to our schedules. Nick provided us with all the information and suggestions we needed to make our decisions. We had been told that the jalousie windows were not available but Nick found them. We were impressed with Nick's can-do attitude and willingness to listen to what we wanted to get a maintenence-free home. Nick came out for a final inspection. We highly reecommend this company. "
"Installed glass block window in my basement. Very reasonable.. prompt, dependable and his workmanship was excellent. Very personable and well mannered. Honest and provided all of the pertinent information. No surprises. I have already recommended him to others and would hire him again in a heartbeat."
"As a result of very good service and high quality windows, I recommended Mike Murnane to my father (a retired real estate Broker- Rolls Realty- who is about as frugal as they come); he'd been wanting to do something about his windows for years. His ranch was built in 1964, and he'd been looking for a window that would match perfectly with the honey-colored maple throughout the house. Dad had looked at Pella and Rosati, but hadn't found a good match in keeping with the Colonial style of the home, at a reasonable cost. Mike showed my father some products initially, but after more consideration, pursued something he hadn't originally thought of, and returned with that product. It was a different line, but It was EXACTLY what Dad had been wanting- and after the job was completed, his visiting friends were not aware the windows had been replaced because they matched so perfectly. Dad ended up having exterior work ordered as well- he had gutters and gutter guards installed, and bought new shutters to replace the original wood ones. He was equally impressed with the people who came to install everything (this was a different team). They brought carpet protectors and drop cloths, and cleaned everything, leaving no trace that they'd been there. As a result, my sister and her husband ordered new windows, a new front door, and a rear sliding glass door replacement. I am a realtor, and have recommended Mike, his associates, and Atlas Roof and Exteriors to other agents, inspectors, neighbors, and friends. What I like most is the value and the price. Mike knows what types of products are appropriate for the style and price point of homes. What would be appropriate for a house in the $129,900 range is not the same as what clients would expect in a $250,000 home; and of course, a home in the luxury market demands something above and beyond. The bottom line is to get an energy efficient window to add value and beauty to ANY home. I believe Mike works to get you what you want at a price that is affordable. I don't detect any of that smooth talking, bait and switch nonsense with Mike. The people with whom Mike works do what they say they will do. Many home owners are intimidated by such a big investment. We've noticed a big difference in how our house feels as the weather has changed. It's quieter. The temperature is more uniform throughout the house and we're more comfortable. We're saving money because everything is airtight. I feel confident recommending Mr. Murnane and the company for which he works. "
"I was preparing to finish a basement and needed to install an egress window. I had received a number of quotes that included an egress window. We decided to delay the full project and just do an egress window. I found Jackson Egress as about the only company that focused on egress windows alone, and I am so happy that I did. I called and got a quote that was easily half of what the other basement companies included in their quotes. I talked through my window selection and scheduled a date for the install. In the interim they company received a new window type and called me straight away to see if I was interested in the new type. I was, and for no extra cost, they installed the new style.. Two gentlemen arrived for the install and got right to work. No heavy equipment, just shovels, and I was shocked at how fast they were. The install took ~ a half day, and we loved the results. The exterior was nicely finished, the interior work was nice, clear and well finished. They even offered to come back and repack dirt after everything settled, although it was unnecessary. We love the window and as we have moved on with our basement redo, nearly every worker that goes into the basement loves the window style and I have provided company info to at least two other basement workers. Highly recommend! "
"Clear Choice recently replaced all the windows in our house. They were very professional, made sure there was no trash left over, and overall just did a great job!"
"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 work, respectfull crew. Only issue was they didn't clean up outside well enough. Had flat tires from screws left in driveway and found broken (old) glass in my flower bed. Minor but crutial."
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.
Recycled glass is a durable and sustainable countertop material that lends a unique look to any kitchen or bathroom. Whether or not it’s the right choice for your home hinges on your design preferences and budget. However, for many, it’s an excellent option to make your kitchen stand out if you don’t want to go with an option like quartz or quartzite.
White vinegar, water, and baking soda create a natural cleaning solution that is highly effective against brown stains on the oven door. Mix one cup of baking soda, one-fourth cup of water, and one teaspoon of vinegar into a paste. Spread it evenly onto the oven glass and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Then, scrape the mixture off with a plastic spatula. Wipe the glass with white vinegar to remove any remaining baking soda.
For small, non-pressure-related cracks, you can fix them using two-part epoxy. This spares you the cost and hassle of replacing the glass. Simply clean the surface and remove any debris or dirt, wait for the glass to dry, then spread an even layer of mixed epoxy solution over the crack. You can use a putty knife or rubber spatula to push the epoxy into the crack.
All of the things you use to help you get clean can leave your shower door looking dirty. Water can leave mineral deposits as well as unsightly spots when drops of water dry on the glass. Soap and shampoo can cause build-up and residue that leaves a layer of soap scum in your shower, which then attracts dirt. Mold and mildew can also contribute to dirty shower doors; these fast-growing organisms thrive in areas with poor air circulation, damp conditions, and residue from things like soap and shampoo.
