A Pane in the Glass did a full replacement of all my original double-hung windows, replaced 2 patio doors, and some custom insulated glass along with siding work on my 1920's house in Hopkins. The crew was extremely professional and always kept the job site clean and neat. They worked hard to stay within my budget and were very reasonably priced. The quality of the materials used and the craftsmanship was outstanding. The project was completed on time and within the original bid! I highly recommend this company as the experience was great.
