Recently we replaced a full house of windows with the Milgard, Tuscany Series window. The customer noticed the glass on one of her new picture windows had more “flex” to it than her other picture window. I looked at it, and sure enough it did seem a little different than the other one. Everything else looked great so I set up a time for our Milgard representative to visit the job with me to investigate this situation. He inspected the window – said the installation was flawless and there were no visible defects so he went back to the factory to determine what glass was used. It turned out the picture window glass was too thin by 1/16” and he set up a time for Milgard to come out and replace the glass. ## Pages - [Marvin](https://www.bridgetownwindow.com/marvin/): Bridgetown Windows & Doors is Portland’s trusted source for Marvin® Windows and Doors, including the Signature®, Elevate®, Essential™, Modern, and VIVID™ collections.

The job site will be cleaned daily—and the debris will be hauled away or stacked neatly in an agreed upon location. - [What do I need to do to prepare for the installation?](https://www.bridgetownwindow.com/faq-items/what-do-i-need-to-do-to-prepare-for-the-installation/): Please make sure there is room for us to work in front of each window—normally four to six feet of workspace is more than adequate. If you are worried about fragile items that are close to the work area, please take them down. We are very careful but preventative measures go a long way. - [Will I be without windows overnight?](https://www.bridgetownwindow.com/faq-items/will-i-be-without-windows-overnight/): We only replace windows that can be installed the same day.

Bridgetown will work closely with you in selecting a professional painter or assist in you with proper instructions if you are going to paint. - [Will the interior woodwork and exterior of my home be affected by the replacement process?](https://www.bridgetownwindow.com/faq-items/will-the-interior-woodwork-and-exterior-of-my-home-be-affected-by-the-replacement-process/): The amount of disruption to your home's exterior and interior decor will depend on the type of window replacement process you choose.
