Description of Work: We ended up going with Bob from Maier Glass block because of his ratings on Angie's list and a friend of mine actually recommended him as well. He did not have the lowest price of all the estimates we received. Everything went well until after he was done with the job. The day of the job, he showed up when he said and completed the job in a reasonable amount of time. A few days later I noticed that the mortar in between the windows shrunk after it dried and it was noticeable. I called Bob and asked him if he could come back and just fill in the gaps where the mortar was uneven. He was very nice about it and said he would call me some time next week when he was back in the area. I was ok with that. Then he never called me. I called again,and again, he said he would come by. Once again, he never came back nor did he call me.The third time I called, he apologized and said he was ill and he would call me and make arrangements to get back to my house. It is now January 2015 and still no call or no show from Bob. I am very disappointed in the way he handled this matter. What is even more disappointing is that he was recommended by a friend and Angie's list and I paid more for him than others I got estimates from. I do not believe I am being picky . If it was white mortar that he put in between my blocks, I would have tried to do it myself with joint compound, but he used a gray color that looked like cement. I obviously want it to match.

+ -1 moreSee above....didn't think he was professional not having a ladder.
Description of Work: As I recall, it's been awhile, the guy came out to provide an estimate. Did not have a ladder and asked to borrow one from my husband. Needless to say, we didn't use them. They actually didn't really even follow through to see what we would do.

+ -1 morePretty decent overall experience with these guys. I initially received a lower estimate over the phone based on the number of windows and approximate size. After they came out to look at it, they had to increase their estimate somewhat due to the larger rough openings than they had thought. I was still fine with the new estimate and they started the work that same day. From start to finish was just a few hours. They did leave a bit of a mess from their mortar mix, but nothing too bad, and they also left it up to me to discard pieces of the old windows. Again, nothing unreasonable. I would go to these guys again for glass block work.
Description of Work: They removed four wooden single pane windows in bad shape in my unfinished basement, and replaced all four with glass block windows.

+ 0 moreI haven’t needed him since the last time I used him but he did a fine job. The price was reasonable. As I recall, the fellow that recommended him said that it was sort of his specialty and he could put them in and be in and out faster than the contractor could do it. He knocked out the old glass windows, took out the frame and put in the glass blocks with little vent windows in an astonishingly short time. I was quite impressed with his speed and clean up afterwards. There was no fuss and no mess.
Description of Work: We used Maier Glass Block once probably 3 or 4 years ago.

+ -1 moreThe only glich was the initial appointment was cancelled by him and had to be re-scheduled. The work was performed quickly and professionally at a fair price. He and his helper removed the old wood window and cleaned up afterwards. I was very pleased with the service and would not hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: Bob installed one glass block window in my rental unit basement.

glass block
+ -1 moreScheduled an appointment at the beginning of October for on the 27th. They were to arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 am. I get a phone call after 9:00 am saying they were running behind schedule and would arrive around 11:00 am. How can you be behind schedule with an 8:30 am appointment? They arrive at 11:45 am and don't have the glassblock pattern I wanted but showed me another pattern which I liked. I agreed to have this pattern installed. They installed the window and it looked like this was the first window they ever installed. They set the window farther back then the original window which left old motar on the brick work, they did this without first asking, the joints between the block are different widths, the mortar quantity varies between the joints, the outside motar work on one side looks like they didn't even attempt to finish it, and one block even has an area where there is no mortar. They left a mess on the outside and in the garage. ( Excess mortar, broken glass & cigarette butts. ) There were so many "red flags" even before they started the installation that I should not have used this company. I would not recommened this company.
Description of Work: Replaced a glassblock window.

replacement windows
+ -1 moreHe was fast at removing the old windows and putting the new ones in. He was clean and credible. He had a fair price. He came when he said he would and was done before I thought he could possibly be! Everything was cleaned up. I would recommend him and I would use him again if I needed.
Description of Work: He was recommended to me. He replaced 3 basement windows by putting in glass block, including one window with a dryer vent.
