Description of Work: Two basement window glass blocks. Owner later refused to install window wells, which were agreed upon in our estimate. This was done we believe out of spite because we requested his workers come back out same day to seal basements windows, which they refused to do the first time they were here. Next time they came out, my husband was home this time and told the guy to fix it. My husband agreed it wasn’t sealed and instructed them to fill the gaps all the way around the the windows with mortar. The gaps were big enough to stick your hand through. We could touch the red bricks that are located on the outside of our home from our basement window. The worker tried telling me it was sealed and no bugs would get in which is very misleading. On the exterior of our home, our bricks have weep holes. They’re intentionally installed to allow moisture drainage from the bricks. They’re just big enough for mice and bugs to fit through. If we had left the glass blocks unsealed in our basement, we probably would’ve had more issues. Make sure these workers seal your home properly. Thankfully for us the worker completed the sealing the second time around as instructed. However it was never explained to us that we would have to drywall around their work, repaint, etc in our basement which we are stuck with doing now. The worker informed us he was caught in the middle and that his boss should’ve explained this to us. My husband spoke to the owner, Matt, on the phone before the work was completed and it was never mentioned. They also brought the wrong window wells at time of installation which luckily I caught. The workers said they would come back this week and install metal ones but they never showed. We called Matt twice and left voicemails with no response. I sent an email asking if he was willing to do the work, and he said he would pass. Great customer service and professionalism from this company. Would not recommmend.

Response from 1st Choice Glass Block LLC
We found this homes owner to be vary difficult and turn down their work and out of spite they gave us a bad review. And the first time we did work for then at their last house they did not pay for their $380 two window pay apron completion job for over 90 days . And would not return my weekly call to collect payment . Please read all are other reviews over the last 17 years and note the A rating we have.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!! I HAD SEVERAL QUOTES AND THIS ONE BEAT THEM BY QUITE A BIT (EVEN CHEEPER THAN MATERIALS IF INSTALLING OURSELVES). THEY PROMPTLY SHOWED UP, SET THE GLASS AND STARTED IN ON CEMENTING THEM IN. I THINK IT WAS A LOT MORE WORK AND TIME THAN ANTICIPATED DUE TO THE ODD SHAPE OF THE WINDOWS, SO 2 OF THEM WERE THERE ALL DAY LONG (OVER 8 HOURS). THEY HAD TO LEAVE WHEN A REALLY BAD THUNDERSTORM WOULDN'T LET UP, BUT CAME BACK ON SATURDAY TO FINISH EVERYTHING UP. THEY LEFT EVERYTHING PERFECTLY CLEAN (EVEN CLEANED UP SOME DEBRIS IN THE BASEMENT FROM AN UNRELATED REPAIR!). THEY KEPT TO THE ORIGINAL QUOTE EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE OBVIOUS OVERRUNS ON EXPECTED TIME. THEY WERE AN ABSOLUTE DREAM TO WORK WITH. THANKS!

HE REALLY WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT FOR US IN A TIMELY MANNER, (COMING OUT ON A SUNDAY, IN FACT). WE ARE SO PLEASED WITH THE PROJECT & OUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND 1ST CHOICE GLASS BLOCK. IN FACT, MATT & HIS COMPANY DEFINITELY DESERVE AN ANGIE'S LIST SUPER SERVICE AWARD.

MATT (THE OWNER) WAS VERY HELPFUL AND DID SHOW UP ON TIME FOR THE INITIAL QUOTE. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED WHEN SCHEDULED. THERE WAS A CRACK TO MY BASEMENT WALL, BUT I WAS NOT SURE WHETHER THAT WAS PRIOR TO WINDOW BLOCK. I DID CALL MATT TO CHECK IT OUT. HE SHOWED UP ON TIME AND IN HIS OPINION THE CRACKS CLOSE TO BASEMENT WINDOWS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED DURING WINDOW BLOCK. HOWEVER, HE DID APPLY SOMETHING (DON'T REMEMBER NOW?) TO THE CRACKS.

MATT IS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND PLEASANT TO WORK WITH ON THE PHONE. THE JOB WAS IN MARYSVILLE (OUTSIDE OF THEIR REGULAR SERVICE AREA), BUT BECAUSE I AM A ANGIE'S LIST MEMBER, HE SENT A REP OUT FOR A QUOTE AND DIDN'T CHARGE FOR THE EXTRA MILES. THE JOB LOOKS GREAT & MOM (ALONG WITH THE GIFT-GIVERS)IS VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS.

I ALSO HAD ESTIMATES FROM TWO OTHER COMPANIES. ONE WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE, THE OTHER WAS THE SAME AS MATT'S. I DECIDED TO GO WITH MATT TO 'GIVE THE NEW GUY' A CHANCE. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! MATT'S INSTALLERS ARRIVED ON TIME, WERE CLEAN, POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL. THEY WENT RIGHT TO WORK AND THE JOB WAS FINISHED QUICKLY AND ALL MESS WAS CLEANED UP. I HAVE RECOMMENDED 1ST CHOICE GLASS BLOCK TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE AND WILL DO SO TO WHOM EVER WILL LISTEN. GREAT JOB, MATT. THANKS.

THEY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB FOR ME. I CALLED THEM ON DEC 22ND AND THEY INSTALLED THEM ON THE 23RD. THEY WERE PERFECT, THEY CAME RIGHT OUT. THEY DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB. I CALLED FOUR COMPANIES AND THEY WERE THE LOWEST PRICED AND USED THE BEST MATERIALS. THEY DID EVERYTHING I NEEDED RIGHT AWAY. I COULD NOT ASK FOR BETTER SERVICE OR RESPONSIVENESS.
