I lived with the windows to further inspect in different lighting conditions for approximately one week. I called Marc and advised that I had not paid his invoice (which was over $200+ from his original quote) as I was not satisfied with the work which was performed for all of the reasons listed above. He offered a mutlitude of excuses, most of which made no sense, such as blaming the outcome of the windows on hard water spots for which he was now investigating additional chemical treatments. Clearly this is not the problem as I have never experienced this when I cleaned the windows myself and the problem is only on some, not all the windows which were cleaned with the same water. As to the lack of cleaning the exterior tracks and sills, his statement was that he "cleans glass". I advised his website advertises him as a window cleaner that hand sponges each window. The window includes not only glass but frame & sill and there is no way these windows were hand sponged. He admitted they were not hand sponged which conflicts with his advertising. He also stated some of the windows on the 2nd floor were hard to reach. No kidding, that's why I hired a "professional". If he couldn't handle the job, he should have said so, especially since he was supposedly at my house to inspect prior to the day he actually performed the work. I will be reducing his bill by the number of windows I've had to re-clean myself and back to the quoted amount for pressure washing of the deck & house. Whatever method he used, the work was not satisfactory. If you are hired to pressure wash an entire house and clean the windows, why would you leave the trim of the house, soffits, exterior window frames & sills filthy?

There are few people I have met whom I recommend without reservation and he is in that select few. Met him by way of Angies List due to his great reviews. This review is a bit overdue as he basically spent the entire summer of 2014 doing this extensive remodel for us at a home we purchased in Canton. it was a complicated job because the house had some unsual characteristics. It is built on a rocky ledge so has a minimal crawl space basement, no attic due to vaulted ceilings, and the great room/kitchen is a vaulted hexagon, with a center large hexagon fire place. He basically redid the entire space as described above, with the challenges of odd angles, creating walls of glass with very large windows, structural changes to the walls, paneled ceiling, installing beams, lots of hardwood floors that had to accomodate the hex shape of the room and the hex of the large center fireplace. Bottom line, it is beautiful and I don't think anyone could have done it better.Like something you see in an architechural magazine. Have moved in and living in it for the past 4 months, and all the work is completly solid. I travel a lot for work, and no problem letting Rick and his crew just do their thing without you there He is great to work with, it pains me to see the couple of negative reviews because he did not get back to a couple of folks with a quote. If there is one fault to him, it is that he is in high demand because of his work product, and I suspect it is difficult for him to effectively field all the requests for jobs that he receives.
If you are serious about wanting quality work at a fair price, then be persistent, but understand he does the work himself and he runs a tight small crew. He is not subcontracting out the work to god knows who like the guy who can show up tomorrow to give you a quote. He made our house look stunning. If you want it done right with an honest contractor, he is it. Am hoping to have him back this year for phase II.

Super Dave replaced all my basement windows after someone tried to break in with bubble glass that you can't break through. He is truly a professional. I totally trust him at my house if I'm not there. He even brings bones for my dogs and plays with them.

I was advised that I did not need to be home when the services were performed which was a big mistake on my part. His ad states that he personally performs the services and sponges each window by hand and then squeegees off each window. He told me he had been to the site prior to the date...

Glass and Mirrors questions, answered by experts
You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.
You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.
Getting a streak-free shine after cleaning your windows requires both the right cleaning solutions—which can either include warm water and dish soap or warm water and rubbing alcohol—and the right tools—namely, a squeegee and a microfiber cloth. To make your streak-free glass cleaner, combine one gallon of warm water with a few drops of dish soap, and mix. Apply with a sprayer or sponge, and then dry with a squeegee, microfiber cloth, or old black-and-white newspaper pages.
Costs depend on mirror size, mounting hardware, and additional features like lighting.
Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.
