Northern Glass Block

Work was done quickly and well.

BRAD WAS GOOD TO WORK WITH. HE WAS PUNCTUAL AND PROACTIVE. HIS DEMO GUY LEFT A LITTLE TO BE DESIRED. THE WINDOWS LOOK NICE, BUT THE TOP PART OF THE WINDOW FRAME IS A BIT MESSY. THEY TEAR OUT THE SIDES AND BOTTOM, BUT HAVE TO LEAVE THE TOP FOR STRUCTURAL REASONS. I GUESS THAT'S A REQUIREMENT OF ANY RETROFIT. HOWEVER, I WILL HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME FUTZING AROUND TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE, THEREFORE THE B IN THE QUALITY CATEGORY. IF YOU PLAN ON DOING GLASS BLOCK RETROFITS, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOUR BIDDERS (IN ADVANCE) TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE FINISHES INVOLVED.

BRAD WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, FROM THE QUOTE THROUGH THE END OF THE JOB. THE PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE BASED ON OTHER QUOTES I RECEIVED AND THE WORK DONE WAS EXCELLENT. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS AND WISH I HAD DONE THIS YEARS AGO.

VERY PROMPT RESPONSE. THEY WERE CHEAPER THAN TWIN CITIES GLASS BLOCK. THEY WERE CLEAN, NEAT AND PROFESSIONAL AND DID A GREAT JOB ON THE WINDOWS.

BRAD AND AN ASSISTANT DID THE JOB. THEY WERE ABLE TO DO IT ON A SATURDAY MORNING FOR ME. THEY DID A GOOD JOB OVERALL. IF THERE IS ONE COMPLAINT, IT IS THAT THE OLD WINDOW FRAME HAD A ROUTED EDGE THAT THEY COULD NOT REMOVE, SO THE GLASS BLOCK HAD TO BE SET IN FURTHER THAN I WANTED. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE OFFERED THE OPTION OF ME REMOVING THAT FRAME FOR THEM SO THEY COULD COME BACK AT A LATER TIME TO DO THE GLASS BLOCK.

WE HAD BRAD INSTALL 3 GLASS BLOCK WINDOWS IN THE PAST SO WE KNEW THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT HE DOES. HOWEVER, HE HAS A MINIMUM CHARGE OF $250.00, WITH $160.00 PER WINDOW. SINCE, WE ONLY NEEDED ONE COMPLETED, HE CHARGED US THE FULL $250.00

GOOD WORKERS, I AM HAPPY WITH THE NEW WINDOWS.

BRAD AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE GREAT. THEY DID AN INSTALL IN A TILE SHOWER OF A REALLY NICE LOOKING BLOCK WINDOW WITH VENT. THEY WERE CLEAN ABOUT THEIR WORK, PROFESSIONAL AND VERY NICE THROUGHOUT. I AM LOOKING TO HIRE THEM AGAIN TO DO 2 MORE WINDOWS IN THE HOUSE. OVERALL, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR WORK!

THIS COMPANY DID NOT APPEAR TO PULL A PERMIT OR KNOW CITY CODE,(A POSSIBLE PROBLEM IF YOU SELL YOU HOUSE LATER), ALTHOUGH THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE IF YOU WERE ONLY REPLACING A FEW WINDOWS. HE QUOTED A PRICE FOR 8 WINDOWS ($175) AND WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE PRICE IF I WENT WITH 6 WINDOWS, HE SAID TO ADD $10 PER WINDOW (WHICH I HADN'T SEEN ON OTHER REVIEWS). THIS WAS $100 OVER ANOTHER QUALITY BID. I WAS ALSO INTERESTED IN SAVING THE EXISTING WINDOWS AND WAS TOLD I'D HAVE TO DO THAT MYSELF PRIOR TO THE JOB STARTING. THE ESTIMATOR ARRIVED TO GIVE ME THE BID ON TIME AND SEEMED LIKE A NICE GUY. HE TOOK TIME TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. I ENDED UP CHOOSING ANOTHER ANGIE'S LIST COMPANY TO DO THE WORK.

THE WINDOWS LOOK GREAT! MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT HE LEFT THE INTERIOR TOP WOOD TRIM IN PLACE BUT REMOVED SIDES AND BOTTOM TRIM ON ALL WINDOWS, SO IT LOOKS A BIT UNFINISHED. HE DID NOT REMOVE THE TOP AS WAS CONCERNED ABOUT DAMAGING THE CEILING. (FAIR ENOUGH, BUT...) THERE WERE SMALL CRACKS IN THE CEMENT AROUND THE WINDOWS WHICH I ASKED HIM ABOUT...IF IT WOULD POSE A PROBLEM WITH LEAKING. HE SAID HE WOULD LOOK AT THEM AND CALL BACK, BUT I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN. ANOTHER CONTRACTOR DID CONFIRM THAT THE CRACKS WERE SUPERFICIAL AND NOT TO WORRY.

BRAD WAS GREAT. VERY CONSIDERATE, DIDN'T LEAVE A HUGE MESS AND WAS IN AND OUT IN ABOUT 5 HOURS.

VERY, VERY GOOD WORK. I ACCIDENTALLY LEFT MY CHECKBOOK AT WORK AND BRAD WAS KIND ENOUGH TO ESCORT ME TO THE BANK WHERE I WITHDREW HIS PAYMENT IN CASH. HE'S A FANTASTIC GUY!

WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK. I PICKED NORTHERN GLASS BLOCK FROM ANGIE'S LIST, GIVEN THE GOOD COMMENTS. BRAD TOLD ME, THAT FOR THE MOST PART, HE WORKS BY HIMSELF; IT KEEPS THE OVERHEAD TO A MINIMUM.

BRAD WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL WHEN HE CAME TO MY HOUSE TO LOOK AT WHAT I WANTED DONE AND PROVIDE ME WITH AN ESTIMATE. HE WAS ABLE TO MEET WITH ME THE DAY AFTER I FIRST CONTACTED HIM. BRAD AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE VERY POLITE AND PUNCTUAL WHEN THEY ARRIVED TO DO THE WORK; IN FACT, THEY ARRIVED 15 MINUTES EARLY. BRAD TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ABOUT A THREE HOUR JOB. THEY ACTUALLY COMPLETED THE WORK IN JUST UNDER TWO HOURS. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB CLEANING UP AFTER THEY COMPLETED THEIR WORK. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO USE THEM AGAIN!

HIS PRICING SEEMED A LITTLE HIGH, BUT THE JOB WAS SMALL AND HE HAD A MINIMUM CHARGE OF $250. I COULDN'T GET ANYONE ELSE TO DO THE WORK. REALLY GOOD GUY.

BRAD SPENT A LOT OF TIME OUTLINING OPTIONS INSET VS. FLUSH DURING THE ESTIMATE. RETURNED ALL CALLS VERY QUICKLY (THAT'S WHY HE GOT THE BUSINESS.) WINDOW LOOKS GREAT. CHARGES EXTRA FOR EXTENSION LADDERS AND OLD WINDOW DISPOSAL. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF HE HAD PHOTOS OF HIS WORK. (HE ONLY CARRIES A XEROX COPY OF TWO WINDOW STYLES FROM THE MANUFACTURER.)

NORTHERN GLASS BLOCK WAS THE ONLY COMPANY I CALLED THAT CAME OUT TO VIEW THE WORK BEFORE GIVING ME AN ESTIMATE. EVERYONE ELSE GAVE ESTIMATES OVER THE PHONE WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE WINDOWS. HE WAS VERY PROMPT. CALLED BEFORE APPTS TO CONFIRM THEM. HE SHOWED UP WHEN HE SAID WOULD AND THE WORK TOOK EXACTLY AS LONG AS HE SAID IT WOULD. VERY RELIABLE. TRASH REMOVAL IS EXTRA.

BRAD EISENHUTH, THE OWNER, PERSONALLY DOES THE ESTIMATES AND PERFORMS THE WORK. $175 EVIDENTLY IS HIS STANDARD PRICE FOR REPLACING AN AVERAGE-SIZE BASEMENT WINDOW WITH A VENTED GLASS-BLOCK ONE--STICKER-SHOCK FOR ME, BUT I HAVE NOTHING TO COMPARE TO. HE''S RESERVED, BUT GENERALLY COURTEOUS, ONLY A HALF-HOUR LATE (AND CALLED TO SAY SO), AND SEEMED TO WORK EFFICIENTLY--DONE W/ 2 WINDOWS IN JUST OVER 2 HOURS. THEY LOOK FINE. CLEANUP WASN''T PERFECT, BUT I WON''T QUIBBLE MUCH CONSIDERING THE OVERALL POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.

GOT BACK TO US QUICKLY WITH A QUOTE. COMPLETED WORK AS SCHEDULED. CLEANED UP WELL BEHIND THEM. VERY HAPPY WITH WINDOWS.

BRAD AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE VERY COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL WITH THE WORK DONE. THEY MADE SURE THE OLD WINDOWS WERE REMOVED APPROPRIATELY AND CEMENTED AND CAULKED ACCORDINGLY. THEY DID THE WORK IN TWO HOURS AND IT LOOKS GREAT. I WILL HAVE THEM BACK T0 INSTALL ANY FUTURE WORK WITHOUT HESITATION.

BRAD RETURNED PHONE MESSAGE PROMPTLY AND FOLLOWING DAY LEFT WRITTEN ESTIMATE, AFTER MEASURING WINDOWS FROM OUTSIDE WHILE CUSTOMER WAS AT WORK. INSTALLATION WAS COMPLETED IN ABOUT 4 HOURS, WITHIN 2 WEEKS AFTER SIGNING CONTRACT. PUNCTUAL, PROFESSIONAL, NEAT, HIGH QUALITY WORK AND GOOD CLEANUP.

THEY HAULED ALL THE OLD STUFF AWAY AND WE LOVE THE WINDOWS! THEY WERE VERY COURTEOUS AND THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED UP FOR THE ESTIMATE! MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR USED THEM AFTER WE DID AND WE HAVE BEEN REFERRING THEM TO EVERYONE! WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE AND WERE VERY IMPRESSED BY THE PROFESSIONALISM, PROMPTNESS, AND COURTESY. THEY ARE VERY EASY TO WORK WITH AND STUCK TO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO! GREAT EXPERIENCE!

HE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH THE INSTALLATION--AND HE CLEANED EACH WINDOW AREA PRIOR TO LEAVING. WE WILL RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE SEEKING THIS TYPE OF SERVICE. I CONTACTED THREE OTHER GLASS BLOCK INSTALLATION COMPANIES PRIOR TO HIRING BRAD, AND SELECTED NORTHERN GLASS BLOCK BECAUSE OF HIS HONESTY AND HIS FAIR PRICE.

VERY REASONABLE PRICED, VERY PUNCTUAL AND VERY EASY TO WORK WITH.

BRAD WAS COURTEOUS, RESPONSIVE AND PUNCTUAL. THE WORK IS EXCELLENT.
