Get matched with top glass block pros in New Eagle, PA

"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.

"We inherited a property with lots of problems stemming from an inability of my husband's parents to maintain the home. As a final renovation to the small home (1100 sq. feet), we decided to convert an enclosed sun porch (500 sq ft) into a full addition. The addition added four rooms: A large bedroom, a full bath, an office and a pantry.

Please watch the video that I made of photos from the beginning to the end, along with a walk through:

The sun porch, built in the 50's, was glass and aluminum frame, supporting a good roof. The structure would rattle when the wind blew. Windows fell out frequently, it was an eyesore. The aluminum structure was deteriorating to the point where the wrought iron supports were rusted out at the floor. It was unsafe.

We interviewed five builders. Three gave us quotes. One offered to draw plans for a fee, but did not quote us a price or give any documentation.

Commonwealth Construction ( http://pittsburghremodelingpro.com/ ) was the best of the lot by far. Les Dukehart came to the house within a day of my initial contact with their office. He was kind and helpful. NO pressure from Les. He made suggestions and told us, after our walk through and talk, that he would get a plan together with a quote.

The quote was written within three days -- none of the other contractors offered a written quote - only verbal. One of the other bidders yelled at me and said that he wanted us to "pull the trigger" and accept his bid. I never got that kind of  treatment from Commonwealth Construction and Les Dukehart.

We felt confident that Les would get the job done right, removing the walls without dropping the roof was my primary fear. There was simply no pressure. And they did NOT drop the roof.

Day one there were at least five guys here working. They started demolition and had the ceiling down and rafters exposed in two hours. Wall one came down within a couple of hours and was replaced by 2x6 constructed walls, they were supporting the walls as they were removing them. Then they started on wall two. By the end of the day, two sides of our structure was framed and this was in the beginning of February, 2013 -- the winter to end all winters!

Day two all three walls were down and re-framed and sheeting was two-thirds done. By the end of day five the structure was framed in and sheeted.

Ceiling,  flooring joists and interior partitions went up during the second week, we soon had plumbing and electrical roughed in. I was amazed at the flow of the work. It was orchestrated wonderfully. Les was on site every single day.  We always had a great crew here.  Carpenters, plumbers, heating professionals and electricians were very skilled and very nice people. I miss seeing their faces in the house.

I had questions from time to time. I had to call Les many times. He answered his phone each time and was able to talk me through my questions and give me advice. I never felt alone or left to dangle or worry.

Commonwealth passed each inspection required by our community code office and followed the code every step of the way. There was no question, Commonwealth knew the code. Several of the bidders we interviewed did not know the code and it varies from township to township.

At one point, we made a decision to move the main dividing partition a foot or so to make the bathroom larger. This resulted in them having to move and re-frame two windows. They did this without complaint and Les did not charge us for the change.
Les Dukehart met with me at Home Depot and helped me pick out fixtures for the bath. We opted for a 60 inch long standing shower with shower doors. The bath is so beautiful and is completely handicap accessible. This was a primary issue for us, since we have family visitors who use wheelchairs and walkers. We wanted them to be able to use our home without encountering barriers to their accessibility.

The workers were nice, friendly, they cleaned up after themselves every single day. They vacuumed away all of the dust and wood shavings. They organized their work tools every day.  Although it was freezing most days that February, they were here every day. They were courteous, even once rescuing my cat, after I had inadvertently forgotten to put him in the bedroom for the day.

The addition was beautifully sided and the construction is so square and plumb. Not a wrinkle or a mess anywhere. The walls were beautifully dry walled, mudded and primed. We never expected the result would be so wonderful.
The wiring was superb, they even added supports for us to mount a flat screen TV on the wall and helped me show them my plan to run the wiring so that all of the power and cables would be in the walls. They added improvements to my idea and reinforced the walls in two areas with 2x6 horizontal bracing in two areas so that we can hang the TV on either wall. If we ever want to add Ethernet or other cabling, they added conduit so that we simply have to put the wires through without fishing around in the walls.

The addition is insulated with R-19 in the walls and floors and R-38 (code for our area) in the ceiling. It is a warm, tight building. The windows are sealed and are so pretty!

What really tied it all together was the finish carpentry. The fellows sure can trim a room. They made archways, they matched the molding in the old part of the house and the trim in the new area is gorgeous. They created a beautiful walk in closet with a great rack system.  I am just overwhelmed.

They seamlessly used sheet vinyl (at our request) through the bath and office, and it looks so rich. They did not piece it, it is continuous in both rooms, creating flow in the areas. The feel is so good under foot.

Commonwealth created beautiful lighting. I am so pleased. The bathroom has a sensor which turns on the lights when the door is opened and then the lights shut off after a while. This is wonderful, because our children leave lights on all the time. There is also a switch within easy reach to keep the lights on until a person wants to turn them off.
We built this room so that our family could have more living space. Our home is now 1600 sq. feet. Each of our children have their own bedrooms and we no longer have a computer desk in our dining room. We now have an addition with a full bath, an office, a pantry to augment our small kitchen and a huge bedroom. That brings us to a bath on each level, including the basement.

I know we will have more projects and we will call on Les and Commonwealth Construction when our roof needs replaced and other work needs to be done. He is fast, efficient, and worth every penny. I can't say enough about their work ethic and level of expertise.

During our ownership of this home, we have had to have a lot of work done prior to the addition. Being new in the area, we tried a couple of different contractors (see my other reviews). We had a previous contractor do shoddy interior work. We were nervous about doing a project on this scale. We made the right decision with Les and Commonwealth. We will continue to use them as we need work done."

"The bathroom went great! We got a custom floor and shower. Vaulted ceilings. I'm so excited to show friends and family! Sl contractors are currently working on my dressing room and I cant wait to see!"

"Mr. Novak did quality work on my house while I was 500 miles away. Although I was a little nervous about not being there for the renovation, he came through by doing a great job, on time and very reasonable. He kept me informed all through the process. I will be hiring him again in the near future."

"Excellent. Job completed on time and on budget. Will hire again for my upcoming project."

"They did pretty good. There were a couple of fumble here and there. They did not organize getting the breeze taken away very well. They did the work 2 or 3 weeks ago and I think it was $4800. They will be doing the interior of the kitchen and the cabinets."

"Tom at Spectrum Renovations came out in the evening to give an estimate for overhead lighting install. His was one of 3 estimates I received, and he offered the lowest rate. I had several follow up questions later in the week and he was always quick with an answer. He was able to schedule the project just a day or so after I approved his bid. He and an associate completed all the work in 1 day and were very respectful, did not make any messes in the house whatsoever. I had some concerns early in the project that things might be a little more involved than I had anticipated, but they were able to work things out very nicely."

"They were good. They were pretty fast and came on time. My overall experience with them has been good."
