After the proposal was given in which the owner was polite to the hilt and upon arriving and beginning the job, his actions and behavior went south, especially after the windows were pulled out awaiting the new ones to go in. He took a call during the job, and shortly after made numerous inappropriate comments were streaming from the company owner's mouth, as the individual on the outside mixed the support adhesive cracked upon drying. They failed to clean up their mess on the inside and outside of the house, even asked me to clean up some of the wet adhesive. The workmanship was very bad looks as if an amateur did it, even professional peers I had in told me -he did a bad job. I attempted to cancel this check this less then honorable company was so quick to cash the check before the adhesive dried and the cracks showed. He was also paid to deal with two other areas of concern, he even screwed this up, and a 1st graders could of done it correctly. The price was too much ! If you are dealing with any persons who want good work, look elsewhere. And still I am going to have to clean up his mess and fix the problems.

Akron Glass Block was the only provider that offered egress window installation and provided it at a fraction of the price the other providers from whom we received estimates said it would cost. They were on time, got the job done in less than one day, were courteous, friendly, did good work and cleaned up after themselves. We love the windows! We highly recommend Akron Glass Block!

The estimator arrived as scheduled and provided a bid the same day. When installation could not occur because of rain they called very early in the morning. While installing the larger garage window they ran into some damaged wood. They just jumped in their car, drove to Home Depot and got the needed supplies. When they were here giving the estimate I happened to have a contractor here for a different job. He told me their price was excellent.
Description of Work: Placed two large glass block windows in my garage.

It was awesome. They came in at substantially less than the other contractor. He showed up on time, he was clean, he was courteous, and he did exactly WHAT he said he would WHEN he said he would do it. I'm now going to use him for all the rest of my windows.
Description of Work: They installed glass block in my eight basement windows.

Darwin was a little early for his appointment and got right to work. They cleaned up inside and out and the windows look fantastic! Great workmanship and very personable. His price was very reasonable and better than competitive. If you are considering glass block anything, call Darwin first.
Description of Work: Darwin removed the old windows and installed 6 new glass block windows, two had vents and one had a drier vent.

Came day before install and looked at job. Arrived on scheduled date and installed windows as per order. Cleaned up all debris from job and were very courteous. The finished job looks great! We wish we would have done this 15 years ago. We were also very pleased with the price. Thank you for a superior job. Dale and Carol

Can't remember exact date or cost, so this is just an approximate.I couldn't be happier with my decision in every way. From the gentleman who came to my home, the selection of materials and then the installation Even now, everytime I walk past the table, I can't help admiring how beautiful it is.
Description of Work: Service performed: Dining room table glass top tinted. It was scratched and driving me crazy, decided to try one more thing to salvage the table.

Everything went great. I had a contractor in to do finishing work on my basement the day after the install, and when I comented on how nice the windows looked and asked what I had spent, he couldn't believe it. He told me he would have charged twice as much to do the same job with the same materials. Thanks Darwin!
