"We received quotes from 3 different contractors. We chose GAXL because it's close to Newark and I like how Jose explains everything in detail. Originally we thought the remodeling would take 4 weeks but it took close 6 weeks. The whole project was great, the craftsmanship was superb. At one point, we found some tiles that are not very nice (from the manufacturer) and we asked them to redo the bathroom wall. They don't complain and understand our request. The workers are great, especially Marvin and this other guy (forgot his name). They WORK very very hard from 8a to 6p everyday. Jose is on time and is very prompt in returning calls or text. In fact he's the only contractor who's very prompt and I like that! On one of the walls they discovered a mold due to rain leaking and they're able to fix it in 4 days which is great. Jose and his son pickup the materials from the suppliers and drop them in our house. Overall, Jose and his men are courteous. I will definitely use GAXL for future remodeling."

"We recently renovated both of our bathrooms and had an amazing experience with the crew. They were incredibly humble, clean, and professional throughout the entire process. They showed great attention to detail and were always responsive to any questions or requests we had. The team worked diligently every day until the job was done, and the results are fantastic. Recommendation: Make sure to order all materials and fixtures in advance—this really helps the crew work more efficiently and avoid delays.

"Our experience is identical to what other reviewers shared. And yes, you should run from this company as fast as you can. Do not buy what Abraham shared that the payment must be made when the inspection is passed. Check the Business and Professions code yourself, the payment only needs to be made when the job is completed. It is very COMMON that the job is not even done or poorly performed even the inspection is passed. Here are the issues that multiple families including us run into with this company:: The project was delayed for over 9 months. No one manages the job. He often employs young men from his own Jewish community. They are enthusiastic but had no prior experience. The worse part is that they don't get paid. Two of them even set up a new construction business knowing Abraham will never pay them. Subcontractors can put your house on lien also. Many reviews you see on Yelp, Google, Angi are NOT genuine. Even the references are fake with hindsight, we were given 2 references. One reference shared the exact same accent as the PM. The other reference was initially happy with their work, but then reached out to us and shared a similar horror story with them like what we experienced. You will lose a lot of $$$ on materials as the subcontractors will somehow leave a thousand dollars worth of quartz at home. Maybe they want to compensate for the money Abraham owed them? Let me tell you, reordering materials is not fun."

TJ's Plumbing has been in business for over 10 years we specialize in residential and commercial Plumbing systems. We pride ourselves on the quality work we provide, while delivering great customer service! Call -or- click to schedule your estimate today!
"Though I am happy with the final result, I feel that TJ did a bit of a bait and switch. The person who showed up, Felipe, was from a different company. "TJ" quoted me $900 for the job and $300 to move washer and dryer to access the main valves. That's $1,200. In the end, washer and dryer were not moved. But I did ask them to replace a faucet cartridge in my bathtub, which they did. But before that, Felipe had managed to turn off the water to my unit without moving washer and dryer. He then had to cut into drywall to locate the outbound pipes, but made a mistake. The next cut he made found the water pipes but these were the wrong pipes. An emergency water shutoff to the building was required. In the end, the bill was for $1,800. They did not take credit card. No receipt was given to itemize work done. These guys, from Moor Plumbing Solutions, did work hard and got the job done but there was a serious lack of transparency from the very beginning, not to mention a near disaster."

Most glass stove tops serve faithfully for 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Longevity depends largely on usage patterns, cleaning practices, and the quality of the original materials. Regular, gentle cleaning and avoiding heavy impacts can extend your stove top's life considerably. Watch for warning signs like inconsistent heating or visible stress marks that might indicate replacement is becoming necessary.
In many cases, you can replace only the glass surface without changing the entire stove. This approach works well when the underlying heating elements and electrical components remain functional. However, some manufacturers design their units with integrated components that require complete assembly replacement. Consulting your owner's manual or speaking with a qualified technician helps determine the best approach for your specific model.
Even small cracks in a glass stove top present significant safety concerns. What appears as minor damage can quickly worsen with heat exposure, potentially leading to complete failure during cooking. Cracks also create pathways for spills to reach electrical components, posing shock and fire hazards. For your safety, avoid using a cracked stove top and arrange for inspection or replacement promptly.
A professional technician completes a glass stove top replacement within approximately two hours. This timeframe includes removing the damaged surface, installing the new glass, and testing all connections. The project may extend longer if complications arise or if your stove has unusual features. When ordering replacement parts, factor in additional days for delivery before scheduling installation.
Glass stove tops most commonly break from physical impacts like dropping heavy cookware or utensils. Thermal shock—the stress caused by rapid temperature changes—also contributes to breakage, especially when hot surfaces come into contact with cold items. Prevent damage by handling cookware carefully, allowing surfaces to cool before cleaning, and using appropriate pots and pans designed for glass cooking surfaces.
