"The first thing I have to say about Ed Baranek is that he knows his products and his measurements. I watched him and his team install one of the windows in the master bedroom, and I've never seen such a great fit in old work. I was dumbstruck impressed. The aluminum trim was meticulously done and it looks great. Ed has been responsive to all of my technical questions with reason and information rather than condescension. Only time will tell if I'm truly happy with the long term performance of the window, but the short term they seem fine (the difference in exterior noise is huge). The installation will doubtless be fine for the long haul. I am leaving punctuality as NA due to weather delays which were unavoidable. "
"We had Bucklew waterproof our basement and install a sump pump, drain to the street, egress window, and glass block windows. They were always prompt, great at communicating with us and answering all our questions, worked efficiently, and always wanted to make sure we were satisfied with their work. They went above and beyond every step of the way. Couldn't be happier, especially that my basement is finally DRY, even after all the rain we've gotten lately."
"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. "
"We contacted Jackson Egress in early November to get a quote. Jonathan quickly provided a written quote via e-mail. We were not ready to act yet, so we waited until December to accept. Jackson Egress called OUPS to mark our yard for utilities, then James came out for a site visit. We found that our gas line encroached on one of the egress wells and would need to be moved. I contacted Columbia Gas to start this process. In the meantime, Jackson Egress started on the other two windows. We found out that Dublin would not approve permits on the rest of our basement remodel without permitted egress windows. Oops...rookie mistake on our part. Not Jackson Egress's fault, our fault. But they halted their work without complaint, covered our egress wells, filed drawings for permits with Dublin on our behalf, and waited for us to complete work with Columbia Gas. Columbia Gas completed their work in early January. And, despite the weather challenges, Jackson Egress resumed shortly thereafter completing the 3 egress windows which passed inspection with no issues. We had some challenges along the way with Dublin requiring permits on the egress windows before approving the rest of the basement. And of course getting Columbia gas to move fast especially around the holidays was fun. Throw in some winter weather for good measure. But, I have no complaints. James and crew were on time or early and worked hard every day they could. Jonathan was responsive with all scheduling and communication. The price was fair. The work and materials are high quality. Nothing more I could ask for as a customer."
"The installer was polite and friendly. The glass manufacturer sent the wrong size glass which he did not realize until he took out the first window, so I now have a temporarily taped window until the right sized one comes in. He measured the rest though and the installation was quick and VERY clean. They will be hired again to redo the other window."
"They have good quality control would recommend to all my friends would use them again they are an excellent company to work with. I had eight other roofing companies give me bids in the past two years. This is the only one that required no money down and they gave u the option if you were not happy you did not have to pay the full amount until they fixed the issue you need to give them a call u will be glad you did"
"Great Company. Fast Efficiant work. Shawn the Window Technician was great, and Devan who was helping him install and we learned that he was actually a Production Manager. Both were great. The completed all of our windows. 7 standard, and a picture window in less than two days. Great company. Great customer service. Shawn,Devan, and Lauren were all amazing."
"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!"
"I had to speak to at least 5 different people in the prosses and communication between them wasn't always accurate. Their suppliers caused delays, in particular the glass door. First instaler was very good but had to wait a month for the doors. Not happy with door, they seem fragile and hang very loose. Expected much better for $10'000. Don't have a good idea what to expect because each process ie: sales, measuring, 'dispachers , instalers, is a different person and start over with questions."
"Windows are good. Work was sloppy. Still finding shards of glass on the floor and the furniture a week after completion. Caulking looks like a third grader did it- including caulking the screen door to the frame. For this type of investment, they should act like professionals."
Yes, WD-40 can remove stickers from glass thanks to its chemical properties that can break down adhesives. Be sure to wear protective gloves when handling WD-40. Spray the window or glass item, and let it sit for 10 minutes before scraping it with a plastic scraper or credit card.
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.
This happens when condensation forms due to your room temperature being lower than its dew point. You can clean the glass with a combination of baking soda, vinegar, and warm water to wipe away the fog from the doors.
The best (and safest) glass for glass walls is tempered and laminated glass. These types of glasses work well for walls because they are durable against impact and heat.
Standard mirrors come in many different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses, so you can often find a great fit for your space without adding customizations. Custom mirrors are ideal if your space has very specific constraints. For instance, you may need a much longer or wider mirror than you can find in a standard mirror. You might also want a custom mirror if you have particular styling preferences, such as a frame with a specific finish or a unique edge.
