[Highland Park] Excellent window repair for small or large jobs
by Timothy Ward 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Neighbors, We had an excellent experience with window repairs. I had a broken window and it would not close, meaning that I was heating the entire great outdoors. I called RWC (Replacement Window and Glass) which is owned and run by Christopher Carney. He came right away and very cleverly repaired our old (1980) Traco window using parts in the window. He was very pleasant, neat, and did a great job. The price was very reasonable. It can be hard to find people willing to do such small jobs. His contact information is: Christopher Carney RWC Phone: 724-858-2721 E-mail: cwcarney(a)rwcglass.com Tim Ward
