"They are an excellent and reliable company. We have used them to replace siding on our house, to install triple glass sliding doors, and most recently they replaced our roof. Highly recommend."
"Ze Windows replaced 2 of our old and outdated glass sliding doors. We would highly recommend this company for their responsiveness, friendly professionalism and great installers!! We are very happy with the beauty and the quality of our new doors"
"Bassel was very professional. On time, tidy, polite and fair price. He replaced the glass panels for a few of my windows. No surprises. He showed up, measured and ordered the replacement glass. One week later he returned with the new glass and inserted them in. Like brand new. I highly recommend."
"They came out to give me an estimate on a new sliding glass door without me having to be present. Then they contacted me and also sent me via email a copy of the estimate and went over any questions I had. They were able to install that week (which I did need right away). They were on time, neat, cleared out everything, friendly, and the price for the work they did was great. They did an excellent job. Wish I would have known of them last year when I needed two windows replaced. I will be using them for any future work that I need."
"I do not often write reviews, but I feel exemplary service should be recognized. Roland of Star Home Improvements did a great job advising me on sliding glass door replacement. When the door replacement quoted was not available he ordered a more expensive door at no cost- showing integrity in his business practices. Not many companies would stand behind their estimate in the same situation. Install went smoothly and team arrived on time and cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend Star Home Improvements."
"Eddie was highly knowledgeable and helpful after my kids broke my window during a winter storm. He replaced the glass in a challenging situation. I highly recommend him."
"Presidential Exteriors is a well-managed company. We had twenty-five, very large, windows, two large sliding glass doors and the front door replaced. Everyone, starting with the young man who approached us to talk about the company, the salespeople and the team doing the work was professional, polite, honest, pleasant and super careful. The windows, sliding glass doors and the front door look amazing. Our house is fifty-two-years old and badly needed to be "refreshed". The quality of their products is excellent. While the work was being done, several people from the company came by to check on the progress. After the job was completed, we met with Ben who came by to do a final inspection and answer any questions or concerns we may have. The crew cleaned up and vacuumed before they left. We will use Presidential Exteriors again to replace another door."
I am so happy that I decided to go with Fox Creek Builders to install my window and 2 sliding glass doors. From order to install the process was excellent + only took about 3 weeks. Amazing since it took another vendor a month to tell me they could not fill the order I previously requested. Max, the owner, came out with Fred to measure and discuss my request. When Fred installed the custom doors + window they fit better than the original doors they replaced---fit like a glove. Fred was extremely pleasant, neat + a precision installer. They removed all the old debris, vacuumed all the rooms, deck + cleaned all the windows after install. I did not even have to remove my blinds during the process + they were particular about routing my outside cable wire. The doors are very high quality argon + insulated glass. My husband + I just love how smoothly both the doors + screens move along with the other bells+ whistles. Even my dog loves the doors + the crew. Max came out and inspected the job + again explained the features so we did not miss anything. We couldn't be more pleased with this purchase--well worth the money + I just wish I had done this sooner. Thanks to the Fox Creek Builders--Great team and Great work.
Despite their popularity and modern styling, glass railings have a few drawbacks. The first is their high initial cost. While they cost little to maintain, they can be costly to install. Also, scratches and chips in the glass are highly visible and require repairs. Additionally, glass railings require frequent cleaning to maintain their good looks.
Cutting glass yourself can be dangerous, as the edges are sharp and can easily cause lacerations if you’re not careful. Working with larger pieces of glass is especially dangerous, as they can be cumbersome and difficult to handle without shattering. If you’re uncomfortable doing the work yourself, you can hire a professional to get the job done safely.
Once you’ve gotten any scuff marks, grime, and burn marks off your glass stovetop you can use vinegar to finalize the clean without leaving streaks. Just put some white vinegar in a spray bottle and spritz it onto the stovetop before wiping it in a consistent direction with a microfiber cloth.
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.
Yes, you can use glass cleaner on outside windows, but only after you’ve rinsed away as much debris as possible. Using glass cleaner on top of a layer of dirt will only make it harder to clean.
