"Best window cleaners ever!  They explained to me that they have a wax additive to their solution which keeps your windows cleaner longer.  It has been 6 weeks now and our windows still look just cleaned.  Three windows next to our front door seemed to have a film to them that no other window washer has been able to do anything about.  I even tried a special cleaning product myself and it did not work so I assumed it was a problem with the 40 year old  glass.  It is now gone!  Our screens that they scrubbed had not a speck of dust or dirt.  These young men are passionate about what they do and foremost want to do an excellent job and not "get in, get out".  They are extremely personable if you care to know your window washer.  I previoulsy used another A rated provider on Angies list with hundreds of reviews, and they did a good job, but no better than anyone else.  The solution Wojcik uses makes all the difference.  Windows look like new,  Their price is extremely reasonable.  We have a steeply pitched roof with incline windows on the wall which is actually roof.  Other cleaners price these much higher as skylights even though you can easily reach out and touch them inside just like any other window on a regular wall.  They are just at a slant.  Wojcik priced these as windows not skylights which is as it should be.  They are not in the ceiling!  I will continue to use them every time and highly recommend them.

"Commonwealth was very professional and did a great job with our bathroom.  It was only about a week from the time we first contacted them to the start of work.  The workers were courteous and did a great job of cleaning up after the work was finished.  The bathroom looks great and is exactly what we wanted."

"I debated writing this review for a while. I hired SL Contractors based on the reviews and meeting Willis. I wish the ending had a better story but feel I need to share my experience so others may be warned. I’ll start with the positive. Willis genuinely seems like a nice person and the floors came out beautiful. Now for the not so positive. Willis was consistently late. Every appointment he showed up late, this should have raised a red flag for me but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. My project was way behind schedule and over budget. He originally told me 1 ½ weeks. I had told him I needed to go out of town for business on 3 separate dates and we built those days into the scope of work from the start. I ended up cancelling 2 of the 3 trips to give him extra time. He still went past the agreed date by an additional week and half. He worked alone for the majority of the project and would show up on most days between 11-1 leaving around 5. Half way through the project he gave me a slip for additional work/materials. None of which we discussed prior or I had any idea was coming. I sent him an email saying I was concerned and needed to ensure no more surprises and we had to stay on budget. He said the additional materials was because I had selected a more expensive granite for the countertops. I was a bit confused as I had told him from the very start what granite I wanted and we met at the granite yard to select the slab (he was almost 2 hours late for the appointment). The granite was scheduled for a Friday when I was going to be out of town for the last trip which I absolutely could not cancel but I changed my flight and came home the night prior to accommodate. However, he ordered the wrong sink and had to reschedule the granite install which I found out during the trip so I changed my flight for nothing. He told me he scheduled the install for the following Friday. The Tuesday night prior to the Friday new install date I told him I had an early appointment Wednesday I could not miss and he needed to be here because additional hardwood was being delivered, he had estimated incorrect square footage and I had to order more (which he agreed to pay half for the additional materials). He said he would be here. As I was walking out the door for the appointment the granite installers were just about to knock on the door. No sign of Willis. They said the install was scheduled for Wednesday not Friday. I called Willis and he said he was on his way and would be there in 45 min. He showed up about 1 ½ hrs later and the installers had left. He did have them come back in the afternoon. However, when they arrived they showed me the invoice to show me the install date. The invoice was for about half what was in the proposal with the contract but the square footage was more. Willis had calculated the square footage incorrectly for the granite as well as the flooring. At the end of the project he had more additional charges. I pointed out the difference in granite price which with the additional he was trying to charge me was well over double. I understand a mark up so he can cover his costs and for his time organizing however over double is not fair. He tried to say he had to demo the old countertops but again I pointed out that was already a line item. He also tried to charge me for a faucet but I had went out and bought the faucets for the powder room and kitchen myself. We discussed and I thought we came up with a fair agreement where we split the additional costs and we both felt comfortable, I still feel his miscalculations should not be put on me but I didn’t want to be unreasonable. Again, he was way over the contracted date of completion and still over our agreed upon cost. He told me he would call for the dumpster pick up and it would be removed within 3 days. After 4 days I texted him letting him know it wasn’t picked up and that once I had a painter I would send him pictures of the before/after. He responded with “ok”. I sent another text the next day asking for the number of the company for the dumpster as it wasn’t picked up and got no response. I waited 2 days and then sent a text again, no response. I called him and got voicemail. I then got a call from someone saying Willis was not authorized to deduct the amount we had agreed upon and therefore they cancelled the dumpster pick up and I would need to take care of it myself, both cost and scheduling. She wouldn’t give me a number or even the name of the company. She said Willis had given me a discount already. However the discount did not come close to the additional charges for his miscalculations. She also mentioned he didn’t charge me for the additional labor. I explained we had a contracted end date so the additional time was not my fault and he miscalculated that too. There were some additional line items I did agree to pay because again, I wanted to be fair. For example, he added costs for putting the baseboards back on and rehanging closet doors which I thought should be included but let that go as it was not specified in the agreement so I felt that was on me, there were a few other little things I just said okay on. I looked up online the dumpster pickup and called them. I found out that he had over filled the dumpster bags and I would need to order another bag and remove the overflow myself. This was the final straw for me. I was not going to write a review at all and let it go but I feel others should be informed when making the decision to hire Willis. Again, his work seems great but I question a contractor that miscalculates measurements at every turn and tries to over charge for his mistakes. Also to not even tell me they were canceling the dumpster (which was a line item in our agreement) was just outright dishonest and unfair. Now I am concerned that if anything goes wrong with the flooring he won’t make it right. It is disappointing to end the project with doubt and mistrust."

"The work was very professionally completed. The floors and stairs hardwood elevated the feel of the entire house. Contractors did a great job of prepping and cleaning up after themselves. Also, the owner was always reachable by text or phone. Good contractor."

"An email I sent Pittsburgh Exteriors last week: Pittsburgh Exteriors: Over 8 months ago I completed payment on a roof replacement and venting per a contract between Pittsburgh Exteriors and me. This represented one job for Pittsburgh Exteriors, and almost an entire summer's wages for me. I believe I did all I was supposed to: I got three bids; I read many recommendations from Angie's List, I contracted local. I even fed the roofers. 8 months later, I look at my roof and in my attic and I see unfinished and sub-standard work that Kevin promised would be corrected over six months ago. The flashing on the side roof does not meet at all points; the front porch roof is bowed (and worsening with the weight of snow); the gutter on the front roof is sagging on one side; and the bathroom venting in the attic looks like a second-grade science project. I was patient with the initial service when, after being sold on the idea that the company uses an appropriate number of fully vetted roofers, only two were hired (and one laborer worked a half day). I cooperated when the corrections did not occur at first because of workers' injuries, workloads, etc. I chose not to complain on Angie's List. But after many phone calls and empty promises, I would like some action. I intend to hire a roof inspector to point out any and all repair and replacement issues that should have been covered under the contract, some of which were pointed out to Kevin on the final walk through, and to the office staff after Kevin's notes apparently didn't get communicated to them. It's time to finish the work I paid for, before the spring and summer new contracts take precedence. There can be no question this is what Pittsburgh Exteriors owes me."

"I had a water leak with my roof causing some interior damage. I had placed a inquirey through servicemagic and received a call back from Vito at Four Brothers Contracting with 20 seconds and he came to look at the job within 3 hrs. - gave me a bid and promised to get to my repair as soon as we had a break in the winter weather. As a result the only opportunity to complete the job was on a sunday. Vito came sunday afternoon so I would have the repair done before the following week of bad weather. I would recommend to anyone - nice to deal with and very professional."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.

Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps prevent buildup and maintains clarity.

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 windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.
