"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."

To use a very tired expression, "OMG" it was a wonderful experience. I am a person who is reluctant about people in my home. Tony was a welcome experience. He was very friendly and fun. Did his job perfectly. Removed drywall ceiling and one wall. Put up new drywall. We have a glass block window in the room and during the year there was terrible ice buildup under the roofs here in Pittsburgh, there was damage around the window. Tony redid all that. Installed a new medicine cabinet and light bar, which we had purchased. We also purchased the paint. Actually by purchasing these, we got what we wanted.
We added a couple items to our 'to do' list; such as, an outside motion sensitive light over the garage (ours did not work anymore) and installation of a new light bar in our main bathroom.
I must tell you, we have found a new fix-it-replace it firm. Tammy, the contact lady, is very helpful and informative. You can add or subtract from your requests as you wish. I LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!. My husband says we found a company to do all the things he cannot do anymore. Ignore the B on the Price rating. They are very competitive. You get what you pay for.
"Honestly I was happy with universal windows from beginning to end. Great customer service. But when installer came he was top notch. Perfect job. Hard worker took no shortcuts at all. He was so thorough. He went beyond. I have cancer he wore mask for me even when he didnâ  t have to. He moved all my furniture back. And let me tell you he removed a glass block that was horrible not one word or grunt!!!! It was just horrible. He cleaned up everything. Covered everything. I want to have some more windows done but only if he can be the installer!!! Mike Moran"

Bathroom mirrors weigh between 6 and 13 pounds, depending on the size. A 16x20-inch mirror weighs 6 pounds, while a 24x36-inch bathroom mirror weighs 12.5 pounds. Large mirrors, such as a 30x40-inch mirror, weigh 46 pounds. When installing or hanging a bathroom mirror, have a neighbor or partner assist you in lifting and holding the mirror in place. A second set of eyes can also help ensure the mirror is centered and level.
To tell if a window is single or double-pane, focus on the edge. Double-pane windows have two glass layers separated by a spacer, which you can usually see around the edges. For single-pane windows, it’s just one sheet of glass. Another easy trick: shine a light at the window—single-pane glass reflects once, while double-pane glass reflects twice. Lastly, if you feel both sides of the glass on a cold day, double-paned windows will feel warmer because of the insulating gap between the panes.
Contrary to popular belief, wavy glass in older homes isn't caused by warping. The blowing technique used to create windows in homes dating back to the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s left behind small bubbles that create a wavy effect. If a glass window is functional, there's no need to consider wavy glass damaged. In fact, many homeowners prefer the old charm of wavy glass.
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the mirror size and mounting requirements.
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.
