Replacing Windows

I would like to replace my old windows. However, there is a plethora of brands out there and they all claim to be the best. Which brands are really worth considering? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Buying windows

Windows are another product that should not be purchased by brand name alone. Most manufacturers produce good, better, best quality and warranty levels. Buy the best that you can afford to buy.

Painting Fiber Glass Door

T

Tom173 on Jun 25, 2002

I am at my wits end. A year ago I purchased a very expensive set of fiberglass doors (exterior). After a lot of looking I found a painter that said he could apply a gel stain. To make a long story short, the painter came and made a total mess of the doors and did not return the next day. He did not have the slightest idea of what he was doing and Im convinced I could have done better than he did. I refrained from calling him which was best for both of us. Another painter came and applied a regular stain over the mess, then sprayed polyureathane or some type of sealer. Now the doors are sheeding the stain and showing the white fiberlass in various areas. The doors do face the sun. My question is what do I need to do with the doors to get them back to a state where I can paint them with a regular paint (what type should I use) and what type of prep do I need to do on the doors. Thanks in advance.Read More

paint removal on windows

How do I remove paint from storm windows or treated windows without scratching? I recently worked on a cleaning job were the painters coated the windows. I normally use a razor blade, which only scratched these windows.Read More
