    A cracked or broken window and glass can be a major safety hazard and getting it repaired immediately could help save a lot of money and ensure safety always. While some individuals may think that the chip or crack in their glass or windows is not something to be concerned over, its a major safety concern that could end up causing them personal injury. Even a small chip can threaten the structural integrity of ones window either at home or the office, and the smallest hit could lead to a shattered glass. With a desire to protect oneself, family, or workers, getting repairs for chipped or broken glass becomes a priority.

    To provide unique solutions to these unpleasant problems, in particular for people living in Chandler, Superior Replacement Windows, an Arizona-based window repair and replacement contractor is announcing the opening of its newly remodeled window and glass repair shop in Chandler, Arizona. Superior Replacement Windows is renowned for offering excellent affordable custom home and architectural glass and window repair and replacement installation. Also, their great team of window repair specialists provides mobile window service in homes or commercial buildings.

    To learn more about Superior Replacement Windows, please visit http://replacementwindowschandler.net.

    It is evident how windows are the most vulnerable point in a home for heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, and with low winter time temperatures the cold will creep in and pool at windows in need of repair or maintenance, explained Seth Greeley, President of Superior Replacement Windows. Just like any other part of a house, windows and glass, even those with the highest quality will require maintenance and repair, and sometimes replacement, if the damage is severe. At Superior Replacement Windows, we will select the perfect window for a repair or renovation project from the local glass showroom which has a full range of window products, glass options, and frame options.

    Superior Replacement Windows understands that window replacement is necessary when the immediate problem either cannot be fixed or when a repair job only temporarily fixes a problem that is likely to occur again and continually costing more money. Were confident we will have the perfect window replacement at a price that is more affordable than any DIY retailer or national window wholesaler. In many cases, we build custom windows onsite to fit odd sized openings or architectural glass, Seth added.

    Superior Replacement Windows concluded, To best ensure your safety, you should seek repairs for your window glass at the first opportunity. If you put off getting repairs for even a few days, a change in temperature or an unforeseen fender bender can cause your window glass to cause even more damage. With a certified installation backed by a written warranty, we will first provide an onsite inspection of the windows in question, take measurements, provide a free written estimate, before we order the glass required to repair an existing window or a whole new replacement window.

    Top Ways Windows Will Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal – GlobeNewswire (press release) - May 31, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    photo-release

    ALBANY, N.Y., May 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the warmer weather here, homeowners are looking for ways to improve their curb appeal. Luckily, the professionals at Window World of Capital District, the local exterior remodeling experts, have assembled how a window replacement will make your home stand out (in a good way).

    A photo accompanying this announcement is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/35189af9-4cc5-4971-9de7-0d75103c2471

    Adds Character Replacement windows can improve the style and personality of your homes exterior. With different grid options, you can coordinate with your preferred aesthetic while complementing the neighborhood. There are plenty of patterns to choose from, depending on the style of the home. Modern or contemporary might gravitate toward glass panel or casement windows for a clean look. Whereas colonial style houses could go with double-hung windows with six individual panes of glass separated by muntins.

    Window Boxes A seasonally appropriate window box can be the piece de resistance to a homes exterior, adding the perfect amount of charm. Strategically placing them on the most prominent part of the house will add color and interest for guests or future homebuyers. To be successful, youll want to do some research on the amount of sunlight required, water needed and growth habit before planting.

    The Energy-Efficiency Option While it might not seem that an energy-efficient replacement would be considered curb appeal, having efficient windows will increase the allure of the home which is what homeowners want! And whether they're first-time buyers or existing homeowners, consumers are showing more desire to learn more about environmental matters in housing. According to the Bank of America Homebuyer Insights Report, 61 percent of homeowners have researched energy-efficient improvements. And installing ENERGY STAR certified windows, doors, and skylights are known to shrink energy bills and carbon footprints by an average of 12 percent nationwide. Saving money is appealing!

    LP kicks off renovation with window breaking – LaSalle News Tribune - May 31, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    It took about 30 whacks with a hammer on a 4-by-8-foot panel of drywall Tuesday to kick off the $38 million renovation of La Salle-Peru Township High School.

    It wasnt any old drywall. The board had been painted by artist John Kettman of La Salle to look like a third floor window. Window replacement is one of projects goals and since there is no ground being broken, the school held a window breaking instead.

    Today its hard to believe that, four and a half years ago, when the board gave us the green light to begin pursuing, number one, a strategic plan, Wrobleski said. We were able to whittle that plan down to a dollar amount that the community felt comfortable agreeing to. I know I speak for the board when I share how truly grateful we are for the support of the community.

    Board president Tony Sparks said this is the first major renovation of the school in 54 years.

    Theres very exciting work ahead. Im sure youre all ready to start turning wrenches and doing what you do to turn this place around and make it a better facility for the kids the next couple of years and, who knows, the next 40, 50 years down the road, Sparks said.

    More than two dozen people gathered around the faux window for a group photo. After speeches, board members gave it a whack, followed by mayors of La Salle and Peru, construction planners and managers, school administrators and staff, and anyone else who wished to punch a hole in the board. When finished, it looked like someone took 28 pot shots at the window. Two whacks were directed at the surrounding brick, drawing some friendly ribbing. Commemorative claw hammers were distributed for whacking and as keepsakes.

    Work is underway on repairing exterior masonry and asbestos. This summer windows and some roof sections will be replaced and temporary classrooms installed outside. The project is expected to finish in the fall of 2018. Workers also will upgrade heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

    The project was designed by architectural firms, Kmetz of La Salle and Legat of Chicago. It will be overseen by Pepper Construction, with guidance from Brownfield Environmental Engineering of Beloit and AMSCO Engineering of Downers Grove, according to a press release.

    We know at the end of this 14-, 15-, maybe 16-month journey its something were going to be proud of. our kids, our grandkids, are going to be incredibly proud of, Wrobleski said.

    Voters approved a bond referendum last fall, 6,620 to 6,426, or 51 percent to 49 percent. Owners of homes with $100,000 market value will pay an estimated $142 more annually for 20 years. Last year, the high school held public meetings and conducted mail and phone surveys, indicating voters would not support an earlier plan of $67 million. Reacting to negative public feedback, a citizen task force advised the district to scale back to $38 million.

    Liverpool Transfer News: Jurgen Klopp told to replace Daniel … – Express.co.uk - May 29, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Sturridge has once again struggled with injury and fitness concerns at Liverpool this season.

    The England striker started just three Premier League games in 2017 but two of those were the final two matches of the campaign against West Ham and Middlesbrough, where he impressed including scoring a goal at the London Stadium.

    But Parlour thinks Klopp needs a striker he can rely on for the majority of a campaign and Sturridge is not that player.

    "I can't see him having a future at Liverpool," the Arsenal legend said on talkSPORT.

    The Miami Dolphins’ Byron Maxwell could be mentoring his … – PhinPhanatic - May 28, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Nov 20, 2016; Los Angeles, CA, USA; Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Maxwell (41) celebrates after the final play of the game against the Los Angeles Rams, a Hail Mary in there end zone at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. On the turf is Los Angeles Rams tight end Lance Kendricks (88). The Dolphins came from behind to score a 14-10 win. Mandatory Credit: Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports

    Top 10 Linebackers in Dolphins history by Ryan Davis

    Miami Dolphins offense will shine in 2017 by Mason Hicks

    What was your reaction when you saw that they (Miami) drafted a cornerback early, when you guys already have four that are veteran starters? asked Omar Kelly, a writer for the Sun Sentinel. Jokingly, Maxwell stated, hes from Clemson, so I was happy. Then he goes on to state that to build a defense that wins in the NFL, you always need defensive linemen and cornerbacks.

    Cordrea Tankersley and Byron Maxwell both attended Clemson University. For that reason, Maxwell watches their football games on a regular basis, and he has already done a bit of film study on the rookie cornerback. He showed up. He always popped. He has great ball skills, and always found the ball Maxwell said.

    In his mentorship, Maxwell made it a point to say that he will helpTankersley, whether its bouncing ideas offof him, or doing things off the field to help him get better. So yeah, I definitely will help him. I feel like its my job. Maxwell said.

    Now to this business side of things.

    Byron Maxwell will earn $8.5 million this season. In 2018, his salary will be$10 million. Miami will have several options next year when it comes to Maxwells contract. The Dolphins can release him after the season, ask him to take a pay cut, or possibly even attempt for a trade before the deadline.

    To be honest, I was hoping for the Dolphins to try to trade Byron Maxwell during, or before, the 2017 NFL Draft. The first reason is because of the depth that the draft had on the defensive side between rounds 2-5; and the second is because I do not think he is worth his contractand there is equal talent on the roster already.

    Tony Lippett started to show his progression and hold his weight on the boundary last year. When healthy, Xavien Howard played wellon the outside. He started 6 of 7 games that he played in the regular season, accumulating 40 combined tackles in his first 4 games as a rookie. Slot cornerback and a key special team contributor, Bobby McCain, is not a threat to the outside competition.

    Tankersley may not come in and make an impact immediately, or at all in his first season. He has good size, better skill sets than Maxwell, and he is also faster. In 2016; he only allowed one pass over 30-plus yards and allowed one touchdown. He will eventually cause some noise in the CB group for the Dolphins soon.

    In the National Finance League money trumps most decisions. Unless youre an elite superstar. Byron Maxwell is not an elite superstar. With his contract increasing to $10 million next year, and Cordrea Tankersleys total four-year deal is worth $3.17 million, Maxwell will not be playing for the Miami Dolphins in 2018without a breakout 2017 season.

    What do you believe is the best way for the Miami Dolphins to approach Byron Maxwells contract for the 2017-2018 seasons?

    Barnett Bank building takes step toward revival – Jacksonville Daily Record - May 27, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Friday, May 26, 9:03 AM EDT

    By David Cawton,Staff Writer

    Owner Barnett Tower LLC, led by developer Stephen Atkins, and Danis Builders LLC filed three permit applications with the city Tuesday for interior and structural work and window replacement on the 18-story structure.

    The work is a sign that Atkins and The Molasky Group of Companies want to bring the 155,000-square-foot structure, built in 1926, back to life.

    The Molasky Group and Atkins SouthEast Development Group propose turning the 112 W. Adams St. building into a mixed-use development with apartments, retail and office space.

    Atkins is principal and managing director of SouthEast Development Group.

    The three applications totaling $936,051 in construction work comprise:

    $399,250 for structural infill

    $258,700 for non-structural interior demolition

    $278,101 for the removal and re-installation of windows on the third through 18th floors

    New windows were installed about 11 years ago during developer Cameron Kuhns failed attempt to refurbish the building.

    Atkins said that while most of the windows are in good shape and will be put back in, some of them do need to be replaced.

    Most of the work, he said, speaks to the overall restoration, where we may need to remove some of the windows temporarily.

    In 2006, the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission awarded Kuhn, CEO of The Kuhn Companies, a $900,000 grant from the Downtown Historic Preservation Trust Fund to replace the original windows.

    The grant cut the preservation fund by half, which worried some JEDC members.

    Ultimately, Kuhns proposed $29 million redevelopment of the Barnett Bank building and the Laura Street Trio across the street failed and he declared bankruptcy, leaving the buildings vacant.

    Atkins has been involved with the buildings since about 2010.

    He borrowed $3 million from Jaguars owner Shad Khans Stache Investments Corp. in 2013 to buy the Barnett building after previous deals fell through with other developers.

    However, a Circuit Court judge ruled in favor of Khans company in a foreclosure action after Atkins didnt make payments.

    The Las Vegas-based Molasky Group bought the Barnett Bank building from Stache in February for $4 million.

    With SouthEast Development Group, which owns the Laura Street Trio, Molasky wants to complete a development agreement with the city that would award $9.8 million in local incentives to launch the project.

    Ordinance 2017-403 was introduced last week to council.

    Were pleased with the efforts from the city, Atkins said. Were hoping this gets moving through the City Council process by June so we can move ahead.

    Atkins said that when finished, the Barnett Bank building will again house a bank, along with office and retail space.

    Plans also call for about 100 market-rate apartments.

    The Laura Street Trio is slated to become a Courtyard by Marriott hotel, with a bodega market, caf, restaurant, and rooftop bar in addition to other retail space.

    Atkins said there will be announcements soon about a few prospective tenants.

    The plan also includes an $11 million, 550-space parking garage to be built on city property.

    The city will operate the garage, lease 250 spots to the developers and leave 300 for other customers.

    Together, the four buildings make up about 320,000 square feet in the heart of the urban core and would represent a significant step forward for Downtown redevelopment.

    Its been a number of years for me, Atkins said. Im looking forward to getting into the sticks and the bricks finally.

    Winners announced for MVHS preservation awards – Youngstown Vindicator - May 27, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Published: Sat, May 27, 2017 @ 12:00 a.m.

    Staff report

    YOUNGSTOWN

    Two churches are among the winners of the 2017 Historic Preservation Awards, which are given out annually by the Mahoning Valley Historical Society.

    The awards honor the projects and people in Mahoning and Trumbull counties who take an active role in preserving historic buildings, sites, and districts.

    The winners will be honored at the MVHSs annual meeting June 20 at the Tyler Mahoning Valley History Center, 325 W. Federal St., downtown. The public is invited to attend. The cost is $32 ($28 for MVHS members). For information or to make reservations for the dinner, call 330-743-2589 or go to mahoninghistory.org.

    The 2017 categories and winners are as follows:

    Community Revitalization Award

    Our Lady of Mount Carmel Basilica, Youngstown

    The construction of the church building began in 1908 and was completed in 1913. The project included repairs and refinishing of the original exterior wood, brick, limestone, granite and terra cotta to allow for the building to stand for another 100 years. The basilica has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.

    Lewis House, Poland Preservation Society

    In 1996, the Poland branch of Home Savings and Loan wanted to demolish a small vacant house on College Street. A concerned group of citizens worked together to save the 1860s home, keeping it part of the historic fabric of the village.

    The citizens group formed the Poland Preservation Society and undertook a renovation of the home which included a new roof, replacement of exterior siding with historically accurate hardy board, and removal of a modern east side porch returning its doorway to a window for the dining room.

    Interior work included new plumbing, upgraded wiring, a new furnace, plaster repair and painting. Rental of the home paid off the construction project loan, and the preservation society continues its periodic maintenance.

    The project was important because it illustrates how grass-roots concern and initiative can change an outcome, said Mark Peyko, one of the panel judges.

    St. Patrick Church stained-glass windows, Youngstown

    Beginning in 2008, St. Patrick Church, 1410 Oak Hill Ave., undertook an eight-year project to repair and restore the stained-glass windows of the church built in 1924.

    The project included all the windows from the small 1-by-3-foot side windows to the large window over the front door which covers half of the facade.

    The windows were removed and taken to Studio Arts & Glass in North Canton for repair and re-leading. While the windows were out, all the frames were repainted and any rotted wood replaced. After the restored windows were re-set, new protective coverings with vents were installed to equalize the temperature between the storm windows and the glass, enhancing and lengthening the life of the windows.

    Commercial Revitalization Award

    Peter Allen Inn, Kinsman

    Built by Willis Smith, a significant architect in the Connecticut Western Reserve, the Peter Allen House was completed in 1821. The three-year restoration project included leveling the building, replacing the sill-beam and re-laying the exposed foundation stones above ground.

    The original 12-over-12 pane windows were restored; all fireplaces were rebuilt to current code; the interior and exterior woodwork was stripped of paint and refinished; and the interior plaster was removed to allow for re-wiring, installation of a geothermal HVAC system, fire-suppression system, and foam insulation.

    The sub roof was rebuilt and re-shingled using historically accurate slate-like material.
