It was good, very good. They came in, did their work and they showed us some samples of glass. They said that they would be back on a certain day and they were. They put it in, we looked at it and we liked it. It was done on a shorter time. Someone actually recommended them. It was a fair price for what we had done. They came out right away when I called them. It was within a day or two. They came when they said within 15 minutes. I thought that they were very professional especially the man that came out and talked to us. He told us about the product. He explained everything and very well. We liked the product and he gave us a good selection. I never saw the work and they were out there just doing the job. They came in at the end and they said that they were complete. I was very satisfied.

I was thrilled with it. I had a great experience with them. They did a great job, and I thought it was going to be a mess, and he finished the job, and it was wonderful, and he cleaned up after himself. You couldn't tell that any work had been done down there, it was beautiful, and I love my windows. I am very happy customer. I thought they were wonderful, maybe I just had a great guy, he was terrific. They gave me a coupon as well for any kind of work they do. My sister had had them years ago, and she said she thought it was going to be more than that, when I told her the price. The price is very good. It is a tough job. They break the windows and do whatever else they have to do.

They did very well. They went in and they took the old window out, cleaned it all up, and they cleaned it up enough so we could keep it and reuse it, they put the new block in, cleaned up all their mess, and I couldn't even tell they were in there. I didn't have any issues with them. Their price is very compatible. They were very quick to get back to me, to schedule, arrived on time and did the work in a reasonable manner.

It went wonderful. This one here I would totally recommend. They didn't rush, they took their time. Two of the nicest guys and did nothing but work, work, work. Very professional. They were on time, extremely polite. They replaced the wood on the frame around it. It's beautiful and it matches the hangover. They really wanted to make sure we were satisfied. I thought the price was reasonable. They truly cleaned up after themselves.

They gave an estimate. We felt it reasonable. We scheduled an appointment. They arrived in a timely fashion and completed the work. They did forget to give us a dryer vent piece, and we had to call them twice before the mailed the promised piece (which is why we are rating their professionalism as a B rather than an A), but otherwise, their service was good.

I called them, they scheduled an appointment with the sales rep that week, and he met with me and provided an estimate along with details about the product. We scheduled the installation and the installers came out on time, removed the old windows and installed the new ones. They were all polite and friendly and I was very pleased with their team and the results.

Overall the installation went well. The installer had to install a 1" concrete block to make the window fit properly. I understand why he had to add this block. I wish the salesperson would have identified this requirement during the sales process.

Robert - thanks for your input about the need for the 1" concrete block. What is hard to do sometimes is know before the installation if we will need this...it depends what comes out when the frame is removed...but it would have been good to mention this to you.

I set up a meeting to get an estimate at a new property. They did not show up. They did not call. I called the office after being stood up (in the cold). The service rep transferred me to the sales rep. He claimed would go to the property on his own and provide an estimate. I never received that estimate or any follow up on my request or his promise. This lack of responsiveness stole time out of my day. I could have been with my family instead of waiting in the cold for a man who never showed.

[Member information removed] - thanks for taking the time to fill out this review. I am uncertain from the date you have on this review if you have the right company and/our signals were crossed with you. We did have on our schedule to come out to see you at 12:30 on February 9th at a vacant property which was boarded up on Rogers Ave (on your review form you show the date to be February 2nd which was not on our schedule). Our estimator did go to the property at the appointed time we show in our schedule but no one was there to meet him (he did call to leave a message for you but did not get a return call). I also called you a couple times since receiving this review to try to better understand your situation with this project but I have not received a call back from you. We would certainly welcome the opportunity to help you with your project. If I can be of any further assistance to you please call me at the number below and I will make sure to make your project a priority.

Columbus Glass Block was recommended by a friend who had work done by them. Received a quote from John Carter. He gave me a discount better than the discount offered on Angie's List. I could have saved another $150 if I had chosen the "economy" windows. John didn't pressure me to go with the better (more expensive) window. He assured me both are excellent quality. My original installation date needed to be rescheduled due to frigid temperatures and high winds (the windows wouldn't have cured properly). Travis installed the new windows on the rescheduled date. He had to break one of the old windows to remove it because it wouldn't open (they were 60 years old!) but he cleaned up the broken glass. Installation went great and the new windows look amazing. John and Travis were both on time, professional, and courteous. I'm very pleased with this company and would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Replaced 5 single pane basement windows with glass block windows (3 with vents).

The office assistant was so helpful on the phone when it came to getting an idea on the size of the job and working with our schedules. Travis was on time and polite. He did a remarkable job on the windows and clean up was amazing. I have recommended Columbus Glass Block to a friend who was considering redoing her basement.

The hopper windows leaked and flooded our basement. Their information says water tight, but they said that doesn't mean they will keep water out if it rains just right. They were responsive to our requests, but made it clear that even though their promotional information states that it will keep water out, water may still get in. Keeping in mind that our 30 year old single pane windows didn't leak in the two years that we've lived in the house. We have since had to install window well drains to ensure that this doesn't happen again.
Description of Work: Installed 4 glass block windows and 2 hopper windows.

Response from Innovate Home Org - Columbus Glass Block
[removed member name], I'm so sorry about the leak which happened through our removable sash window (not the glass block windows). Thanks for contacting us over the weekend when this incident occured as well. As you know we did respond on Sunday of that week (I remember emailing you personally) and had Sean (our Operations Manager) out on Monday to assess the problem and remedy it as well. What Sean saw was the weep holes in the removable sash window were clogged - certainly an unfortunate situation - and that the soil in the window wells was muddy. I'm glad to hear you had window drains installed as well as Sean had recommended to you during the service call. The removable sash window (where you had the leakage) is simply a vinyl framed window with a sash inside the frame - if there is a dramatic amount of rain fall in a short period of time (and if the window wells fill up with water) the frame and sash of these window will not be able to hold the water back (any vinyl framed window - or glass block window for that matter - is not engineered to serve as an aquarium - but it certainly can and should hold back normal rainfall). In your response you also talk about our promotional literature saying our windows "are water tight." I did recheck out literature to evaluate your concern. Specifically for our "Protect All" glass block window (not the removable sash window where you had the problem) we say our "Protect All glass block window protects against water infiltration" but we do not say it is "water tight." To use the aquarium analogy - our products (and especially the Protect All windows) provide an excellent deterrent for water infiltration but to say they are "water tight" (like an aquarium) is not a claim we would make. The removable sash literature talks about the window providing an open passageway and the ability to tilt in the sash but there is no content talking about water at all in this piece of literature. Once again we're very sorry for the challenge with your project and I'm glad you found we were responsive to your requests. We strive to be very service oriented - but with that said I can't claim our products or people are perfect. If you'd like to talk any further about the project feel free to contact me at our office.

The estimator that came out was great. He took the time to discuss the benefits of the windows and how the process would go / what work will be performed. He was careful with his measurements (came out a second time to double-check before putting the order in) and was patient with me as I came up with the correct configuration that would look good on the house and save us money.Once the windows were delivered to them from the manufacturer they were able to squeeze us in right away.The two-man crew that did the install was great. They were prompt, friendly and cleaned up. And most importantly, they did a fantastic job.
Description of Work: Replaced 12 windows with varying windows ranging from grids on top and fully obscured to no upgrades. Capped all 12 windows with aluminum.

I wanted to have my basement windows replaced with glass block windows. Went to Angie's list to find a recommended contractor. Called Columbus Glass Block and set up an appointment with a rep to come out for an estimate. John Carter was here on 10/1/14 to assess the situation, provide me with my options and answer all my questions. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He also went above and beyond to honor my request to have the installation done ASAP. Travis and Michael were here yesterday for an early start and completed the project in one visit. I couldn't be happier with how I was treated and how beautiful my new windows look. Also, the guarantee of material and workmanship for lifetime from date of installation is much appreciated.
Description of Work: Custom made and installed 8 glass block basement windows. One of which required a dryer vent.

I am very happy with my fabulous glass block windows! We had John Carter as our sales professional/expert and he made the decision easy for me. I had wanted glass block windows for years and I finally got them! We have a large ranch built in the 50's back when they put in lots of windows so we had 8 window openings in the basement. Travis came right on time and efficiently removed the old and installed all of the beautiful new windows. I am also going to have Columbus Glass Block install a new sidelight for my front door at a later date.
