"I needed stucco repair work on an old chimney (and other spots). Grady was meticulous and thoughtful on what approaches and materials would work. Throughout the project they allocated sufficient time for each treatment to cure and inspected the work before proceeding to the next step. Grady started the project with no money down and only required ongoing payments for materials until the project was well underway. The final payment was due only after they did a final inspection. Total project cost was also below other bids."

"Made an appt. with Castle Rep, James, for 17 windows and vinyl siding. He spent 1 hour talking about how great his company and windows are before finally getting down to the issue. We were told that CASTLE makes and services their own window, with all the best technology and technicians available. The price per window for energy efficient came out to over $1,200 per double-hung window! And since they make their own products, we could not find a way to compare quality and price with other manufacturers. But his per-window price exceeds the average price of $500-700 by A LOT! When we balked, he made a call to his "manager" to see if we qualified for a "special promotional" discount. If we were to commit right there on the spot, we would get an additional 10% off! Still way to high. We said we would think about it (he got sad and snippy), and that we wanted to hear about the vinyl siding quote before we made any decisions. He told us he could not give us a siding quote until his company did an "eagle view" measurement, which would require another appointment! We had no intention of sitting through ANOTHER high-pressure appointment. High pressure, long-drawn out presentation and he would not leave us with anything in writing! No brochures, prices, nothing! He refused to put anything in writing and we could not have a break down of labor and costs. I even asked him if I could have a copyhh of the window warranty and he said "only if you purchase right now." And they did not come prepared with references or previous job locations! When we further researched the company, we found they did make very excellent products, but the #1 complaint was by far that they did not honor their lifetime warranty and that customer service was horrible. In the end, we chose not to do business.."

"The installers came in and were all business. They have a system that made their work go smoothly.  No slackers in this group.  No socializing amongst themselves.  Just well focused on their jobs and no missed steps or mishaps.  The leader of the group was like the conductor of an orchestra.  We were very pleased with their work.  I highly recommend this company.  

We are also very pleased with the quality of the windows.  We immediately felt the difference in the temperature in our home. These windows kept out more of the summer heat than our old windows.  Hooray!"

FAQs for stained or specialty glass service projects in Albany, NY

To clean stained glass, dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with warm distilled water and gently wipe the surface. Skip ammonia or vinegar cleaners—they can pit the glass and weaken solder. Work in small sections, supporting the panel if it’s loose. Once dry, gently buff the piece with a microfiber towel. This gentle approach preserves colors vividly and keeps joints intact.

Give your stained glass a quick once-over each year to catch cracks, chips, fading colors, or loose hardware before they snowball into costly repairs. A professional inspection every five years is also a good idea; specialists can spot hidden structural problems and reinforce joints that you might miss. This routine keeps the panel secure, vibrant, and less expensive to maintain in the long run.

1800s or early 1900s—especially those associated with renowned studios—can fetch thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, due to their artistry and rarity. Newer reproductions rarely carry the same market value, but they still add character and color to your home. Appraisers or specialized dealers can give you a precise estimate before you decide on repairs or insurance.

Repair timelines depend on size, design complexity, and the technique required. Minor crack fills or paint touch-ups can be completed in a few hours, while full restorations—where every pane and component is disassembled—may take several weeks to complete. Craftspeople work slowly and methodically to protect fragile glass, ensuring the finished piece looks and functions as intended for decades to come.
