"I needed several things done: 1) Repair a broken anchor that secured shower glass to a half wall. 2) Replace the silicone caulking around the shower glass 3) Adjust shower door so it no longer grazes the half wall upon closure 4) Replace the door sweep They were very responsive in the initial visit to look at the problem and suggested just recaulking to secure the glass. I rejected that idea, as I didn't think it would hold for very long. They made an appointment to return a few days later. They arrived at 10:10 am, made all the repairs and left by 11:40 am. I thought the $800 price was a little steep and there were a few very minor issues, but overall the quality of the work was decent. The minor issues were as follows: 1) There was a lot of old silicone caulk scattered around the room after they left. I'd have liked them to vacuum the room. 2) There were a few places where the silicone was got on the marble and on the metal framing."

Hello hi my name is George I've been a tile setter for over 15 years now ... im 38 years old and have the knowledge and experience to bring satisfaction to my customers expectations... I build custom shower pans using PVC liner so it's 100% waterproof which is a must .. most setters are using products like redgard that don't give that 100 percent guarantee that the shower pan is waterproof and leakproof I give free estimates I am in the San Jose area. I do from full kitchen remodels to slabs floors outside decks, full bathroom, remodels, etc. have references and previous customers and numbers if needed to get a firsthand notification on how my work is. I have a team I also work with ... an amazing plumber who's prices can't be beat.. but yeah, just looking to take on some extra work and hope to hear from everybody soon. Thank you you have a great day..

"Manuel showed up on-time. His work can be characterized by the following: 1. Careful with his repairs (put down protective paper, takes his time in approaching the problem to minimize damage to surroundings when removing doors, frames, etc.) 2. Communicative. When he ran into unexpected hurdles, he found me and explained what he will try to do. 3. Problem solver. My repair jobs involved dealing with original doors, windows, and hardware of a 1930s house. Manuel had to come up with solutions to fix my problems without replacing or compromising the doors and windows. The only complaint I have was that the work took much longer than he estimated (6 hours instead of 3). The jobs were more challenging than he anticipated. With that said, he actually worked closer to 8 hours but charged me for 6. I will hire him again for other jobs around the house but will ask for more accurate time assessment (for his and my sake)."

"Having done numerous home projects over the past 20 years with and without contractors, I knew a complete bathroom remodel would take a lot of coordination between subs, so my wife and I decided to hire a contractor for this project.  We hired an architect several years prior to draw up plans for our remodel and we had done plenty of research on which items we would purchase. We weren’t doing anything extraordinary, just replace tub, vanity, tiles, repaint and remove shower to make room for a stacked washer & ventless dryer.  I had been on my building’s board of directors for the past 6 years, so I knew exactly what needed to be done to ensure condo and code compliance. Unfortunately, it didn’t go as smoothly as it could have.
In case you don’t want to read all the details:In summary, Rani, the owner, is a nice guy who communicates well.  Unfortunately, the people he subcontracts work to aren’t necessarily highly skilled. For our remodel, the electrician did very good work, the plumber did average work, the tile person did good work on the floor, but horrible work on the wall, and the supervisor was below average. The main overall problem was the workers’ lack of detail. While I would not use Inception again, I think they’d do an acceptable job for most people on simple projects or for “fix & flip” people who plan on selling their home right away.
The details:From the very beginning, instructions were missed. We requested several times to create a plastic barrier to block off the living room to limit the amount of dust that would go on my desk/computer area, TV, couch, etc. They said no problem, but it never happened. Also, our HOA requires that no supplies be left in the hallway after 6pm during the week or over the weekend, but 2x4s, metal pieces and runners were left out there multiple times.
The main problems started after demolition. The tile guy did a very good job on the floor with the Italian tiles, but did a horrible job with the white subway wall tiles. One evening, I came home to find that he used the wrong color grout – I had specified the exact color to be used and wrote it down in several places, but he ended up using a much darker color because it was in stock at Home Depot. So, I was happy when he redid it with the correct color, but then horrified when I realized that he grouted all the corners – expansion joints should be caulked, otherwise the grout will crack right away. And that’s exactly what happened after 1 day!  The tile guy came back to fix, but instead of cutting out the grout and applying caulk, he just caulked over the grout…with the wrong color!  At this point, I was done with the guy and just did it myself, spending 2 nights after work using a grout saw to cut out the grout and applying the correct color caulk.
After all the wall tile work was done, the supervisor hung the shower curtain rod and in the process stripped several screws and cracked a tile where the rod was mounted. Then the worst part appeared after a couple days – he obviously put too much pressure on the tile with his hand to cause it to crack, but that pressure was also on the metal corner bead, which caused movement that cracked 12 bullnose tiles.  This ended up being another multi-night project for me, since I no longer trusted the tile guy nor the supervisor to fix things correctly. 
Mounting a 40x30 medicine cabinet should be pretty easy, right? Well, first they chipped the mirror in several places. So, we had to order a replacement unit from Kohler. Then, the guys mounted the medicine cabinet upside down. After being notified, they said they’d fix it the next day. Well, after coming home from work, I found that instead of correctly installing it, they just rotated an interior product sticker to make it look like it was right side up. This dishonestly was truly disappointing. Yet again, this was something that I needed to spend time fixing. And upon removing the cabinet, I realized that none of the 5 screws they used to attach the top of the cabinet to the wall went into a stud. Really? It took me a few minutes to find the studs, but at least I know it’s secure.
From the very beginning, one of my requirements because of HOA rules was to have a drip pan installed under the washer. This was never done, so I had to order one and then hook up the washer and dryer myself. But during the installation, I realized that the water drain pipe was mounted too high – while the washer & dryer had been sitting around the entire duration of the remodel project and the installation manuals were provided to the supervisor, the workers just mounted the water lines like they’d do for a full size washer. Our Bosch units are compact and have certain requirements, so I had to come up with a workaround. 
The project seemed to be finished until I tried taking a shower.  First, the tub diverter handle was so loose, it felt like it was going to break off. Then, the shower spout was loose.  The Speakman tub diverter handle was an easy fix – I just removed the handle and tightened a few bolts. But I wasn’t happy when I removed the shower spout collar – the shower spout elbow wasn’t anchored to the stud. It was just next to the stud and it could easily move an inch laterally. After a few years of movement and stress, I envisioned the copper pipe cracking at some connection, so I immediately mounted the pipe correctly. 
This project was filled with many mistakes that could’ve been avoided. While subcontractors are bound to slip up occasionally, a good supervisor will notice this and have the mistake corrected before the client notices. My advice to Rani is to find a core group of supervisors that are capable and trustworthy before trying to grow Inception further."

"Christopher was awesome! I spent months and months asking around trying to hire family, friends & other "professionals" to help knock out some home projects I needed done. I finally found someone who is knowledgeable, flexible & VERY well priced for quality craftsmanship. Christopher went above and beyond to make sure my family got exactly what we wanted brining us a couple of choices to choose from. We now have a bluetooth (to stream music) fan multi-light combo that came out pretty dope. I have already asked if he could return to build some custom window screens and the wife is looking into having him redo the kitchen floor. Christopher is a keeper!"

Glass Block Windows questions, answered by experts

Glass block windows aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.

Yes, many professionals provide custom-cut glass replacements for enclosures that require precise sizing.

Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.

Glass block installation can be relatively expensive due to the range of material costs and the labor time to assemble this type of specialty window. The process proceeds slowly as the glass does not absorb moisture from mortar and silicone caulk takes longer to harden, leaving spacers to hold up the structure until the caulk or mortar begins to cure. Plus, if your current windows have structural issues or damage, you’ll need to repair them before beginning the project, increasing your bottom line.
