"Robert came and fixed my washer. Which gave me peace of mind since another company came 3 times and just stood there and said they had to replicate the problem; they never did. I told them something was burning. Anyway, Robert came, ran the machine and found the problem. If I ever have another problem, I will not hesitate to call him. Very happy with him."

"Wonderful!!! Love my bathroom remodel thanks to David and Robert. We needed to reschedule for many months due to my father being ill. They were so kind and thoughtful about it. Most contractors would have taken your deposit and never contacted you again. Not them. We completed the project and I am so so happy. They were punctual and tidy, cleaning up every day inside my unit and in the common area of my floor hallway. Talented contractors and even better humans! Thank you both!"

Titan Builders' impact in Chicago's remodeling market is largely due to our driving ambition to be the area's most client-focused company. According to Michael Dreier, our Founder and President of Titan Builders, "Our primary mission is to be a multi-faceted, modern, and innovative company. A total solution company that provides 5 star service to our customers irrespective of the size of the project". Titan Builders' perspective comes from years of working closely with our customers, so listening to them and their needs helped shaped our mission. That, along with a highly experienced team that have been in the remodeling industry for many years, positions us as a leader in Chicago's remodeling market. “Team Titan”, as we call ourselves, strives to consistently deliver results for our clients by providing quality workmanship and total integrity, regardless of the size or complexity of the project. We also believe that the success is not in the completion of the work, but in the client's overall positive experience as we help bring their remodeling ideas “to life” in their homes. Looking to the future, Titan Builders will be a continued leader in the home remodeling market, adopting new ways to engage and connect with both new and previous clients. With today's technology and a more sophisticated, educated customer, we are setting the bar even higher in terms of product and service, and we're proud of it! We are the finest group of professionals...our sales force, craftsmen, our staff, and our leadership are dedicated to achieving the highest results for our valued clients.
"I can't speak highly enough of Titan Builders. The owner Mike is terrific. He is so good at what he does, and I knew I wanted to work with him from the moment I first talked to him on the phone. He immediately felt like a friend, and someone I really did believe cared about doing a good job for me. I did interview 2 other companies, but got such a sense of integrity and honesty from Mike I picked him. He and his crew leader Robert entirely lived up to my expectations, and I am entirely satisfied with the job they did. I live in the suburbs, and our condo is a second home in the city, so I was apprehensive on how easy it would be to manage such an undertaking from 60 miles away, but Mike and Robert made it so easy. They answered every call and text promptly. They gave me advice on products to use and design ideas. When there were a few bumps in the road (nothing to do with them ), Mike talked me through them in a calm manner that immediately calmed me. When Best Buy totally messed up my order of appliances (again something that Titan had nothing to do with), Mike helped me not panic about it. Robert handled all the details of meeting with management of the condo and doing all the paperwork necessary, I never had to do a thing. They came in on budget, and in a timely manner, even being over 2 holidays and the few issues due to the age of the building that arose (and were handled seamlessly by Mike and Robert. Most importantly they did a fantastic job! We had a wall knocked down, sheet rocked over an old service door, the whole kitchen reconfigured, and Mike not only assured me it could all be done, he also gave me a few design ideas that I am really glad I listened to. I now have a beautiful kitchen, and I am sure have added tremendous value to our unit. I would use them again in a heartbeat, and my daughter will definitely be calling them when she remodels her basement. I am confident you will be glad if you call Mike!"

"What can I say about Dan and crew? If there were six stars, I would have given them all of those! Our powder room job was also flooring for the hallway and laundry room, plus a utility sink. It was a total gut job in the bathroom. Dan could not have been nicer, quoted us a more than fair price and the job was finished in record time. He was very responsive to any questions we had (ok mostly me). Also, his workers (2) were fantastic. I'm not sure if I should name them, so I won't. They were efficient and professional, asked questions when needed and cleaned up the site and their work space (our garage) every single day. They treated our home with care, as well as our old appliances and new fixtures. We could not have been happier with all of it."

"It was absolutely fantastic!! I could not be happier or more satisfied. I called on Friday, and Frankie said he could come the next day (Saturday!) or on Monday. Monday it was. He knew where to look for solutions and worked on both my refrigerator and stacked washer/dryer. He was tenacious and persistent and would not give up until both appliances were completely and totally FIXED. He didn't charge by the hour, but by the project. And I was more than impressed by the cost. Amazing. I will NEVER look elsewhere for any future appliance repairs. I have such peace of mind as someone who does not know the difference between a gadget and widget--they offer excellent, timely service, honest work, incredible pricing, and they won't quit until the job is done and done right! 5 stars for me. I would give them more if I could."

Most glass stove tops serve faithfully for 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Longevity depends largely on usage patterns, cleaning practices, and the quality of the original materials. Regular, gentle cleaning and avoiding heavy impacts can extend your stove top's life considerably. Watch for warning signs like inconsistent heating or visible stress marks that might indicate replacement is becoming necessary.
In many cases, you can replace only the glass surface without changing the entire stove. This approach works well when the underlying heating elements and electrical components remain functional. However, some manufacturers design their units with integrated components that require complete assembly replacement. Consulting your owner's manual or speaking with a qualified technician helps determine the best approach for your specific model.
Even small cracks in a glass stove top present significant safety concerns. What appears as minor damage can quickly worsen with heat exposure, potentially leading to complete failure during cooking. Cracks also create pathways for spills to reach electrical components, posing shock and fire hazards. For your safety, avoid using a cracked stove top and arrange for inspection or replacement promptly.
A professional technician completes a glass stove top replacement within approximately two hours. This timeframe includes removing the damaged surface, installing the new glass, and testing all connections. The project may extend longer if complications arise or if your stove has unusual features. When ordering replacement parts, factor in additional days for delivery before scheduling installation.
Glass stove tops most commonly break from physical impacts like dropping heavy cookware or utensils. Thermal shock—the stress caused by rapid temperature changes—also contributes to breakage, especially when hot surfaces come into contact with cold items. Prevent damage by handling cookware carefully, allowing surfaces to cool before cleaning, and using appropriate pots and pans designed for glass cooking surfaces.
