QHow can I protect my glass shower door?

AWhile glass looks and feels smooth to the touch, a microscope reveals an uneven surface riddled with pits and valleys. These imperfections slowly allow minerals, scale and soap scum to penetrate and can eventually ruin the glass. Spray-on products protect temporarily, but there is nothing better than permanently sealed ShowerGuard Glass with a lifetime warranty to keep your glass looking as new as the day it was installed.

QHow long does it take to re-side my home and how long will it last?

ADepending on the size of your home, it typically takes one week to finish a siding project. Your technicians will consider the scope of the exterior remodel, whether or not old siding needs to be removed and the current weather conditions. When installed properly and cared for regularly, James Hardie siding should last at least 30 years, and is always installed with a transferrable warranty.

Garage Doors

QWhy is my garage door so noisy?

AJust like any other large moving piece of equipment, a garage door needs periodic service for proper, quiet and safe operation. A technician can perform some routine service during an annual garage door tune-up. Moving parts requiring lubrication, worn rollers, loose track and hardware can be resolved by a professional. The safe and proper operation of your door and motor operator can also be confirmed. Finally, if you have metal rollers, consider replacing them with smooth, quiet nylon rollers.

WINDOW COVERINGS

QShould window treatments be lighter or darker than the walls?

AEither! Lighter window treatments can help brighten a room and make it feel airy and open, while darker window treatments tend to add warmth and dimension. Ultimately, the choice of whether to go with lighter or darker window treatments will depend on your personal style and the overall design of the room.
