When the handicapped-accessible shower was installed in the master bath at my residence 15 years ago, the swinging glass door was secured with four brushed nickel hinges.  Over the years, the top two hinges became rusted and corroded, causing the glass shower door to lean away from the wall and rub against the floor.  The bottom two hinges, not bearing the majority of the load, did not exhibit such deterioration.  I contacted Insti-I-Glass and spoke to Bill Eisenman, the owner, both by phone and by email.  He sent Chris, an installer to evaluate the situation.  Chris took measurements and pictures of the hinges and glass door.  Within a few days, Bill sent me an email with two options for repair:  either replace just the top two hinges or replace all four hinges.  I appreciated these two options.  I elected to replace just the top two affected hinges at a cost of $159.  I also appreciated the fact that they were able to locate the exact same style and finish of hinges after 15 years.  One hinge was replaced within the week, making the shower door operable once again.  The second hinge had problems with measurement, but they were once again, able to locate the exact replacement needed in correct size,  style and finish.  This second hinge was replaced on January 31, as noted above.  When the first hinge was replaced in late December, I asked Chris, if the company repaired/replaced door wall windows with cracked seals.  When he replied that they did, I asked him to evaluate the middle door wall window in the living room.  This window's seal had somehow broken last summer, causing the window to be foggy between the two panes of glass.  Chris measured and took pictures of the window.  Within 24 hours, Bill emailed me an estimate of $310 for the door wall glass replacement.  I approved the door wall glass install.  They agreed that both hinge replacement and door wall glass install would be done at the same time.  Bill was very flexible with scheduling, delaying the job to better fit my schedule.  I received an email from Bill two days before the scheduled install to confirm the time for 9:30 a.m.  Once again, Chris, the installer, came promptly, greeted me cordially, and informed me of the order of work to be done, ie, hinges first, then door wall.  He worked quickly and efficiently.  When done with the hinges, he checked the swing of the door and had me do the same.  He then cleaned up in the bath before moving to the door wall in the living room.  Again, he spread tarp on the floor.  He explained how he would remove the glass panel and replace with an already assembled glass double pane unit already in the truck.  Even though the outside  temperature was about 32 degrees, there was no noticeable change in inside temperature.  Chris was quick at removing one glass unit and replacing with the new unit.  When done, he caulked around the entire window, inside and outside and advised me not to move the door wall or allow any pets near the caulk for at least 24 hours.  He asked if he could help me move back the furniture I had taken away from the door wall. 

I was very pleased with the service I received from Insti-I-Glass;, from Bill Eisenman, the owner; and from Chris, the installer.  I will definitely use this company in the future.

FAQs for mirrors installation and replacement projects in Harper Woods, MI

If your mirror needs recoating, mirror resilvering costs between $110 and $350. Otherwise, you can replace just the glass if your mirror has a frame. You can get a mirror cut at a home improvement store or cut it yourself with a glass cutting tool. If the damage is extensive, there’s a chance you’ll have to replace both the frame and the glass. 

Mirrors come in nearly any size, with your local home improvement store usually having 48-inch by 72-inch mirrors for a home gym or dance studio. You can also buy custom-designed mirrors in whatever size fits your needs. Oversized mirrors often start at $1,000 or more, depending on the size and design. 

Mirrors are expensive because manufacturing them requires specialized machinery, such as a furnace that reaches ultra-high temperatures to produce molten glass, then a way to cool and form the glass. You cut mirrors with a diamond saw and coat them with metal to create a reflective surface. A silver-backed mirror also requires a chemical process, though most mirrors have an aluminum backing now. A framed mirror can also add to the price.

To look for a quality mirror, consider its purity, flatness, thickness, and reflective coating on the glass. The glass purity can ensure a distortion-free reflection, and thicker glass can decrease the chances of distortion as well. The reflective coating makes a difference, and high-quality mirrors will have several thicker coats of reflective material, like tin-mercury, aluminum, or silver.
