"My initial interest was in the deal that cost $125 to paint one room in one day. When the owner came to my house to evaluate the room I asked him how much extra it would cost to paint a fence an exterior fence that was probably 4 to 5 feet long (one side only) and a gate that went from my driveway to my backyard (both sides).. He said he had another deal that I could take advantage of which would be $450 for one day with with two painters and I would have to provide the supplies. I agree to this. He indicated I would need 2 gallons of paint for the bedroom and 2 gallons of paint for the fence. I would also need to get some tape and plastic. I would also need to move all the furniture in the room to to make space for easy access for the painters. I complied with all his requests. The painters showed up on time very polite and the work they did was excellent. However I was told that I needed to get another gallon of paint for the fence which I did. They did not finish the fence that day. The Second gallon of paint that was requested for the bedroom was not even used. The owner was there at the end of the day and I gave him a check for $450. I can't remember whether I was told for I assumed that a little bit more money would be required to send the painters back to complete the job .One painter was sent back the next day. Again I needed to go back and get yet another gallon of paint. The painting was finished and in approximately a half a days time. When I asked how much more money was needed I was told $450. I was outraged. I spoke to the owner and expressed my rage but he told me that he needed to cover his costs and since this was such a great deal that this was the amount. I express my views that I didn't think this is right but tbut he told me again that this is what he needed to cover his costs. At the end of our conversation he said I could pay whatever I want.But I paid the 450 because I'm an honest person. However I will NEVER and this is an capital letters never use them again. I felt like I was taken advantage of. What I assumed was going to be a $450 job plus the paint turned out to be a $1500 job. It was not the $1500 job. Again I would like to express that his workers were very professional they did a great job and I couldn't of asked for more in that respect

"All I can think to say is WOW !!!  On time and On budget (well, his anyway. Mine.............. not so much)  I bought a foreclosure condo that was about 30 years old and contacted Kevin after finding him on Angie's List. (Best subscription money I ever spent was on Angie's List).  Kevin showed up promptly at the agreed upon time and I had his completed estimate in a few days. Kevin and his crew did the following after demo: replaced all interior doors with solid core prehung doors, installed four new windows into a curved Dining Room wall, installed custom made cabinets in the Garage, Desk in the Family Room, Niche in the Kitchen area, vanity in the Guest Bath, double vanity in the Master Bath and Linen Closet in the hallway, installed Granite on all of those cabinets in addition to the complete Fireplace hearth and face. They also installed a bunch of recessed light fixtures (and I mean, a bunch), replaced all of the receptacles and trim plates, installed four ceiling fans, built 2 beautiful roll in showers that pictures just don't do justice to, replaced all door hardware and locks, installed new nickel mirrored wardrobe doors in Guest room, installed 3 glass vessel sinks and faucets in the bathrooms, installed two new vent fans in the baths, installed new door casings and baseboards throughout, enclosed my water heater, installed new kitchen faucet, dishwasher, stove, etc. You get the idea. About all I didn't have to replace were the kitchen cabinets and granite that was on top of them.
As this was my first remodel attempt, it didn't become apparent to me until the new cabinets were being installed, that the existing tile flooring really looked like well, a mess.  If any of you have gays in your life, you already know that we are prone to make changes and take different paths regularly (haha, but it's true), so it was at this point I decided to replace all the flooring with a beautiful travertine tile. While this major change added 2 weeks to the schedule (bringing us to a total of 7 weeks) and a huge hit to my budget, Kevin and his crew were excellent about taking my changes and adds all in stride. It just didn't make sense to remodel 90 percent of my unit and not do the floors while we were at it. All I will say about the flooring is this, his installer Cory is an artist. He mudset the entire floor on a foundation that was anything but flat. Cory also did the new backsplash in the kitchen and all the tile in the showers. Truly amazing.
In the final analysis, Kevin and his guys did an amazing job turning a pig of an old condo into a silk purse that is surely one of the nicest units in our development. They showed up every day sometimes to include weekends when necessary. I would recommend them to anyone looking to do a remodel. Kevin will be doing my next project if I get the bug to do this again.

FAQs for glass block service projects in Idyllwild, CA

Installing glass block windows has benefits and disadvantages, as with most materials. The pros and cons can vary depending on the type of glass block and the window location.

Pros

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair

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. 

The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:

  • Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block

  • Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block

  • Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block

  • Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block

  • Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block

  • Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block

  • Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block

  • Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block

Typically, glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, slightly less than regular windows, which last 20 to 50 years. Resealing glass blocks can help extend the lifespan of this bathroom feature. The key to ensuring that glass block windows last as long as possible is to have a professional glass block installer place them. Glass block pros will have the skills, tools, and knowledge required to install these special features into any space, noting obstacles like damaged windows or too-cramped areas during the consultation.

Luckily, glass block windows need minimal maintenance. Other than regular cleaning, the only maintenance involved in having a glass block window is inspecting for cracks every year and applying sealer to the mortar joints if the blocks are set in masonry mortar. Glass block windows hold up well against wind and moisture better than traditional windows and are not prone to rot.
