Mr Gilpin was wonderful to deal with. I actually ran into him on my lunch break from work one day and recognized his name from Angie's List. I chatted with him for a few minutes and liked him, so I told him I would give him a call for my window job. I called about a month later and he remembered me, he was very prompt in returning my call, he even fit me in on a day that was convenient for me at short notice. He provided a rough estimate by phone based on my own measurements of the window, and then he took the actual measurements when he came out for the estimate. The glass took about a week or so to come in, and within two weeks he was able to send his men out to change the window glass at a time I could be there. Mr. Gilpin called to let me know they were on their way to my home. The job only took about 15 minutes, they were fast and efficient, they didn't leave a mess, and everything looks great! His price was better than others I checked.
Description of Work: Replaced a double pane of glass in the top (non-moving) panel of a window. I had cracked the window with a bottle rocket last 4th of July (OOPS!).

Jerry Gilpin was very professional in giving us an estimate and very clear about the time frame involved with respect to ordering the windows and doing the work. Because of rainy weather they were behind in their schedule and asked to do the work on Saturday so they could catch up. The work took about half a day and each window was washed prior to the sash being replaced. We were very pleased with the work and the 5 year warranty.
Description of Work: The airtight seal in five double-paned windows had cracked, allowing moisture to form between the panes. Gilpin Glass replaced the insulated panes of glass in all five wood windows.

The overall job was quick and done very well.
Description of Work: A front window was shattered in several places, so the window was replaced with a thicker piece of glass. The window is part of a historic home, so it had to be custom fit.

Mr. Gilpin was very professional over the telephone. However, he was late prior to giving estimate. He did call about a thirty minutes late to let me know he was on his way. The price he quoted appeared to be comparative to other window companies. He said he fit the price to my budget as requested.
Description of Work: Received estimate for home replacement.

Mr. Gilpin did a great job at a great price. He also guarantees his work (parts and labor) for five years!
Description of Work: Replaced four double-paned windows in wood frames on the front of our house. Two were windows that open and two were permanent in the wood frames. The windows had lost their seal and only needed new glass installed.

MR. GILPIN WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE CONDOS, HAVING PERFORMED WORK THERE PREVIOUSLY. HIS QUICK RESPONSE AND WAY LOWER PRICE GOT HIM THE JOB. WE HAD RECEIVED PHONE ESTIMATES THAT WERE DOUBLE HIS PRICE. THE CREW CAME WHEN THEY WERE SCHEDULED AND COMPLETED THE JOB IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. AN OVERALL GREAT EXPERIENCE. AND NO MORE CLOUDY GLASS!
Description of Work: I CALLED GILPIN GLASS SERVICE FOR AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE A DOUBLE PANE WINDOW IN A PATIO SLIDER. MR. GILPIN CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE. HIS WORKERS CAME OUT TO DO THE JOB WITHIN ONE WEEK. THE WORK WAS PERFORMED AT MY MOTHER'S CONDO.

JERRY GILPIN CAME OUT AND MEASURED THE WINDOWS AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON THE WORK. WE AGREED TO THE ESTIMATE AND HE ORDERED THE WINDOWS. ONE OF JERRY'S EMPLOYEES CAME TO MY HOME AND INSTALLED THE WINDOWS AND OPERATORS. THE WORK WAS DONE AND THEY CLEANED UP AFTER THE FACT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND GILPIN GLASS SERVICE.

HE LOST OUR PHONE NUMBER TWICE. THE WINDOW WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS TO GET HIM BACK OUT TO FIX IT. HE WAS IRRITATED WHEN I CALLED TO ASK WHEN HE WOULD BE OUT TO FIX IT. IT STILL IS NOT PERFECT, BECAUSE THE WOOD TRIM WAS DAMAGED WHEN HE WAS SCRAPING THE CAULK. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS IRRITATING AND DISAPPOINTING.

JERRY CAME THE DAY AFTER MY INITIAL CALL AND MEASURED AND ESTIMATED THE COST. THE TIME FRAME FROM JULY 31 TO AUG. 13 WAS AS ESTIMATED AS WAS THE COST. JERRY WAS PROFESSIONAL, ALWAYS ON TIME AND EVEN CALLED ME AT WORK TO ESTIMATE HIS ARRIVAL WHICH INDICATED THAT MY TIME WAS VALUABLE TOO. I FELT THAT HE TREATED US AND THE ONE SMALL WINDOW JOB JUST AS HE WOULD A VERY LARGE JOB. I WOULD CERTAINLY CALL JERRY GILPIN AGAIN.
