2. How do I know if I need new windows or glass?
Several signs indicate it may be time for a replacement:
Drafts and Increased Energy Bills:
If you feel drafts or notice higher-than-usual energy bills, it could be because your windows are no longer energy-efficient.
Visible Damage:
Cracks, chips, or fogging between glass panes are all signs that it’s time for a repair or replacement.
Difficulty Opening/Closing:
If your windows are difficult to open, close, or lock, it’s important to have them inspected.

Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) for thermal performance
We can help you select the best type of glass for your specific needs.
8. How do I care for my new windows or shower doors?
We provide guidance on how to maintain your new installations so they stay in great shape:
Windows:
Regularly clean your windows with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or rough materials that can damage the glass or frame. Inspect seals periodically to ensure they remain intact.
Shower Doors:
To prevent water spots and buildup, clean your shower doors after each use. A mixture of vinegar and water can help prevent soap scum and hard water stains. Be sure to check seals and hinges periodically to keep them in good working order.
We also offer maintenance services if you ever need help with repairs or adjustments.
9. Do you offer any warranties on your products or services?
Yes! We stand behind the quality of our work and the products we install. Most of our windows and glass products come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and we also offer our own workmanship warranty to ensure that your installation is completed to the highest standards. If any issues arise, we’re here to help you resolve them quickly and efficiently.
10. Do you work with insurance?
Yes, we often work with insurance companies for repairs related to damage from storms or accidents. If you need to file a claim for broken windows or glass, we can assist with the paperwork and work directly with your insurance provider to ensure a smooth process.
