Another satisfied customer! Just finished installing 15 custom windows in the whole house. Here's the before and after pics.

Handy tip of the day: Have you ever tried to drive in screws that keep getting stuck or are very tight? Easy fix: take some petorium based lip balm or a bar of soap and apply to the threads of the screw. By doing this the screw will be lubricated and will drive in with ease.

Handy tip of the day: Keeping shower doors clean can be a pain in the butt. Start by cleaning all of the mildew and soap scum off then dry with a clean cloth. Once dry apply Rain-X to the shower door(s). This glass treatment is an invisible film that will help repel water and soap. Don't worry about getting the Rain-X on other parts of your shower it will only help repel water and soap there as well. This treatment should last 3 to 5 months.

Handy tip of the day: Making your exterior doors more secure: Most exterior doors only have short screws holding the hinges and strike plates which won't hold up if someone trys kicking the door in. Easy fix: Replace the short screws with 3 or 3.5 inch screws. You may need to drill pilot holes for the longer screws. By using the longer screws you are anchoring the hinges and stike plates into studs of the wall. This will give your door much more strength to hold up againt someone trying to break in.

Handy tip of the day: Summer is here and everyone is cranking the AC. Don't forget to chang your AC filter every month. Changing your AC filter will put less stress on the AC unit itself.

Handy tip of the day: If you are having trouble with windows in your home that are not opening and closing with ease then they may need some lubrication. Easy fix: start by cleaning out dirt and grime out of the window track. Once cleaned use WD-40 Silicone spray on the track. Repeat every 2 or 3 months to keep those windows from sticking.
