Get matched with top glass block pros in Alameda, CA

"After dealing with frequent roof repairs, we finally decided on a complete replacement for our Livermore home. Avi kept us informed every step of the way, and the finished roof exceeded our expectations. It's made a noticeable difference during hot summer days."

"I recently used twins/glass service to replace a foggy glass. They were very responsive, professional and did a clean job. I highly recommend them."

"Margaret did a wonderful job repairing our stained glass window. You can't even tell where the break was. I definitely recommend Margaret."

"Nate did an excellent job replacing a broken window pane. He was prompt, responded to my questions and emails quickly, and was very efficient. I requested a quote from Angie's List on a Sunday afternoon, and the broken window glass was replaced less than 24 hours later. The glass that needed to be replaced was frosted and textured. I sent him a picture of the glass, and he was able to match it perfectly. The new pane is an exact match -- it looks perfect. I highly recommend Nate from Different Group Glass."

"I own a relatively large Eichler home. When it comes time to replace my 30+ windows and 5 sliding doors, I did my research and received more than a few quotes.

Terry was the only company that came more than 1 time, as a matter of fact, 6 times, to come, explain the materials and options, re-visit to confirm what needs to be done, etc. Five Star Windows was the only company that showed me different double pane glass with Low E, Low E2, and Low E3 coatings and demonstrated how effective each is against heat. Terry also explained the price difference and recommend the one that would be ideal for an Eichler.

I was also replacing my skylights, all twelve 2 feet by 6 feet panels. All the other companies came, did the measurements, and offer exact double pane replacements. Terri took the time, did the measurements, explain to me what type of glass will give me the the optimal heat reduction. He also explained the current codes and what is required and safest for my family. What impressed me the most was he went up the roof, came down, and went back up again and was able to identify who made the Skylight frame. Granted my house was built in the 60's, but he identified the maker of the frame and contacted the maker to inquire if a new frame is more suited for my new triple pane skylights. This passion, knowledge, and expertise is welcome and not seen from other vendors I received quotes from.

On top of all the window work, I also decided to replaced my front door to a new pre-hung door with better weather proofing and seals.

I decided to go with Five Star even though they were one of the more expensive quotes, but I also believe in "you get what you pay for", and I am glad I did.

When all the windows came, Terry and his team Glenn and Jeff inspected every piece of glass. One of the glass was of wrong measurements, and it was sent back immediately for a new one. Then there were these twelve triple pane skylight glass panels. Upon inspection, Terry did not like how the seals were done and sent all twelve panels back. I would not have known otherwise, but Five Star took the initiative and took care of me. They could have ignore the issue and avoid the hassle, and I am glad they did not.

The install was done timely and as promised. Throughout the 3 week installation process, the crew Glenn and Jeff came on time daily and cleaned up every day when they are done.

The new front door handle and lock set took 6 weeks to come, and it came in the wrong color because of my own fault. Heather from the office worked with me and re-ordered. This time around, one of the lock sets did not work, so Heather ordered another set for me. The third time around, the incorrect set was picked and shipped by the shipper, and then the forth time, the lock handle was not the correct side, and the fifth time's the charm. Throughout this process, Heather had been more than accommodating and patient with me. I was frustrated myself, but she was professional and followed though every time.

On a final note, 2 months after the install, I notice a 6 inch scratch on one of the sliding doors. I called Five Star, and they had the manufacturer come and replaced the door panel, no questions, no hassles.

I am very glad I chose Five Star, I would recommend them to any of the my friends and family. I would say it again, you get what you pay for. Five Star and the entire team certainly showed me a quality and hassle free experience."
