"I don’t often do reviews. I found trying to research replacement windows online to be quite the chore and I hope to help guide others if they are in a similar situation. I did a lot of research into window brands. I now know more about windows then I ever wanted to. Once you were able to compare apples to apples by brand name and model numbers a few things came to light for me. All window manufacturers think they are the best. Lifetime warranties are not lifetime in many cases (You must read the fine print). Installation matters a lot. Service after the sale also matters a lot. I decided to get 3 quotes including Window World as they seem to be the benchmark for pricing everywhere. Not only was Hometown Windows prices competitive, the window they offered was better than most, had a real lifetime warranty including glass breakage and had experienced installers. I eliminated one installer because the windows he offered didn’t have true lifetime warranties (he said he would honor it for life but I like knowing the manufacturer will stand behind their products). I eliminated WW because of the great detail and service Hometown Windows gave me in the bidding process and I liked the product offered at Hometown Windows more. I liked that the owner Jimmy would answer the phone when I called. He also answered my emails quickly. I had a lot of questions and I appreciated him getting me every answer I wanted. Some people may not like that he is a smaller company compared to WW. I do. I like that the owner is involved in the process. There were a few very minor things that needed to be addressed after the install and he came out himself quickly to take care of the problem. That is a service level I really appreciate. The installation crew was also fantastic. They were fast and clean. They had a great eye for detail. The windows have been in for about two months now and everything is great so far. I am very happy and would recommend Hometown Windows to anyone. I will do my best update my review if something ever changes."

"It is with deep satisfaction that I recommend Grady?s Painting and Plastering & Construction. Mr. George Grady is a skilled craftsman. He was hired to correct long neglected and extensive masonry and window issues on a large, beautiful Presbyterian Church built in the Civil War era in Philadelphia. The property was neglected with only minimal maintenance performed over the last 40+ years. The building was in severe decline and in need of stabilization and restoration on many fronts. Cracked ledge plates were chipped out and reestablished, internal walls damaged by leakage were broken out and repaired, brickwork was repointed and in severe cases reestablished to original strength and beauty. Leaks around the base of the building were addressed to stabilize deterioration of the foundation. Large rotted window sills under beautiful stained glass windows were restored after significant masonry reestablishment due to water damage under the rotted out sills. Broken and missing stained glass windows are in the process of repair and replacement. The process started with new metal frames cast by Mr. Grady. The new frames will hold clear painted replications of the original stained glass, also crafted by Mr. Grady. Regular windows all around the church and manse were also repaired and restored. Roof leaks were accurately identified and repaired. A sagging plaster ceiling has been torn out and restored. All this work was done by Mr. Grady alone or with an occasional helper. He worked with care, expertise and respect for the original structure. The results far exceeded our expectations and have injected new life into a building on the brink. This building, owned by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, now houses a new urban ministry in a newly gentrifying area of the city. We are happy to have had the good fortune to be connected to Grady's Painting and Plastering & Construction"

"Many thanks to Robbie Pierce for quality repair on the sliding glass door. I have to help my mom in Roanoke long distance from another city.

"I am extremely happy with AJ's service, start to finish. We initially reached out for an estimate at the beginning of 2015. A representative came to our house to explain all the different products as well as pricing and timing. I had reached out to 2 other companies before hand but was not comfortable their high pressure selling. AJ was very patient with us regarding our timing and budget. I received an estimate on the spot and was able to take my time to review and get back to them. We scheduled the work for May and was able to have 7 Windows removed and replaced in only a few hours. We are very impressed with the quick respond time, professionalism and quality of work including cleanup. We plan on using AJ to replace the remaining Windows as well as a sliding glass door in early 2016. "

Glass and mirror service can impact several hidden systems in your Salem home. Replacing older windows often disturbs outdated aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring hidden within the frames. Large interior mirror installations require drilling, which risks puncturing concealed plumbing lines or HVAC ductwork. Additionally, improper window sealing allows moisture intrusion that ruins wall insulation and drywall. Hire a local professional to inspect your wall cavities and pull necessary permits before starting work.
Helpful?
Start your glass and mirror service by verifying permit requirements with the city. Schedule exterior work during the spring or fall when moderate Virginia temperatures support faster adhesive cure times and better seals. For summer projects, plan morning installations to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. Always measure older window openings twice to account for foundation settling. Finally, check your HOA rules for visible tinting restrictions and confirm your contractor holds a valid state license.
Helpful?
After completing glass and mirror service, request a final municipal inspection to close your open permits. Monitor your new window seals throughout Salem’s winter freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers. Inspect insulated glass units for fogging between panes, which indicates a failed seal. Update your homeowner’s insurance policy to reflect the upgrades, and verify that your contractor disposed of all broken glass through approved municipal waste channels rather than standard recycling.
Helpful?
To keep your family safe during glass and mirror service, check if your pre-1980 Salem home has lead-based glazing compounds in older windows. You must follow Virginia building codes by installing tempered safety glass in hazardous areas like stairwells and shower enclosures. Since local humidity extends adhesive off-gassing times, ventilate rooms thoroughly. Always wrap and label broken glass for proper municipal disposal to protect pets and children from yard hazards.
Helpful?
One major mistake during glass and mirror service is skipping required municipal permits for window replacements. Homeowners also frequently select non-tempered glass for hazardous locations, violating Virginia safety codes. Many underestimate existing moisture damage, discovering rotted sills only after removing the old frames. Additionally, ordering new glass based on original specifications ignores foundation settling in older Salem homes. Never discard loose glass in curbside recycling bins, as this creates serious safety hazards.
