There were serious problems on all of the projects. Issues: - Every project took at least a full week longer than the estimated completion date. - Vanity: The backsplash to the vanity wasn't made of concrete, it was drywall faux painted to match. I discovered this about 6 months later when it started falling apart. - Shower: The grout in the shower has started pitting and falling out, in some areas it's gone entirely. Threads from the tile backing is poking out through the grout. The bathroom floor was damaged (looks like a metal can scratched the finish), and the workmanship can only be described as very poor - clear demarcation lines of the tiles, tiles are not level, some areas are sunk deeper into the wall in other areas bulge out. The glass partition was not installed flush with the tile nor was it caulked. Whenever I shower water runs out underneath the partition and in between the partition & wall. I was also advised that a door would not be necessary but unfortunately it is. I now need to install a door because the overspray is hitting the wood entry door & causing damage. - Electrical: Came home to QT cups and food wrappers on the counter, urine in the toilet, dirt/dust on every surface, and conduit/wire scraps/small parts in every room. Tools and work carts were left behind. Drywall repair was necessary due to running the wires (something I was advised of and expected). The repair job was badly done - the patched area was wavy and pitted. The patching in the dressing room was adequate. The worker did not use a vacuum when sanding and there was drywall dust EVERYWHERE. Problem resolution: Bath vanity: Callegari subcontracted this job out. To their credit, once they saw the backsplash was made of drywall they readily agreed to pay to have another backsplash made. Regardless, it was a hassle to get another contractor to pull it out and make another one. I did not have use of my bathroom sink for a week. Shower: When I had them come back and take a look at it they emailed me back and said 3 employees looked at it and they didn't see a problem. I had to take part of the day off to meet them - Evan Harding & Nick Callegari, owners of this business. I showed them areas of the shower where grout was was falling out or missing entirely. Their response was it wasn't a problem because there's backer board behind the tiles. They said they would send a person to patch the areas where it was falling out - unfortunately that's the entire shower. Not only will it look terrible, I seriously doubt the job would be done correctly. Callegari is refusing to reimburse for the shower. For $4,000 I now have a shower that leaks all over the floor, sheds grout, looks terrible and may be allowing water to get behind the tile. At this time the issue is not resolved and will very likely end in litigation. Electrical: I did not complain other than asking the owner to have the employee(s) remove their tools. Was simply grateful to have him gone.

There were four people in our party, two in each room. ON checking in our room, we looked for cups or glasses and did not find any. There was a coffee maker in the room, so we did not think it was unreasonable to have some disposable cups available. We asked at the registration desk and were told that some would be sent. We never received any. Also on the first day, the other half of our party asked at the registration desk for another towel for their room. They were told that one would be sent by room service, but it never was. On the second day, the other room ran out of toilet paper and asked for another roll at the front desk. THEY WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO MORE TOILET PAPER AVAILABLE. I reported a leak in the bathtub in our room, and found the registration staff to be completely unconcerned over this problem. The hotel building was under renovation and we had been informed of this when we made the reservation, so there was no grounds for complaint over obvious recent regrouting and other repairs in the hallways.

Mr Steven Settoon (owner of Settoon Glass Works/The Powder Coat It Shop) does NOT keep his word. While this man obviously has had many unfortunate problems in his life since we've done business with him; we did business WITH A BUSINESS! Out of kindness, we waited. Out of compassion, we again waited. Mr Settoon got very upset when my wife explained that we've been very patient. It has been Mr. Settoon that has used his personal issues as an excuse for his business.
If you're looking for a business that will take your money, gives you a product that initially looks great but immediately begins to rust, excuse after excuse than this is the business you're looking for. However, if you want good quality work, a business owner that doesn't give you an endless amount of personal excuses for his business than I highly suggest you skip even getting a bid from this business. It's definitely been a HUGE mistake for us!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/la/sulphur/settoon-reviews-5488925.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Affordable Glass & Mirror, LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"LA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Raymond S."},"reviewBody":"Good price, courteous, prepared the replacement glass and installed within a couple of days after making an on-site estimate."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/san-antonio/affordable-glass-mirror-llc-reviews-1.htm"},"position":6}]}

Glass Block questions, answered by experts
Glass blocks are much thicker than glass panes in traditional windows and serve as better insulators. The overall glass block window is sealed against drafts that allow warm or cool air to escape, saving on energy costs. Since this type of window is sealed airtight into your home, you don’t have to worry about air leaks and drafts as often as traditional windows that open and close. When installing glass block windows, look for options that are Energy Star rated, proving their energy efficiency.
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.
Options include tempered, laminated, and tinted glass for various needs.
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.
Glass blocks provide privacy, natural light diffusion, insulation, and a decorative aesthetic.
