Get matched with top stained or specialty glass pros in Philadelphia, PA

"I originally contacted the company in early November 2013 to give me an estimate to repair a broken pane of an insulated window in my home.  An appointment was quickly set up for someone to come out and cost the job.  My roommate met the consultant to explain the job and  I received the estimate the next day via email along with a courtesy phone call from the office, explaining the process to get the ball rolling.  I liked that  full payment was expected after the job was completed.  The price seemed reasonable so I went ahead and confirmed with them to have them do the window repair.  I was told the glass would have to be ordered and that usually within 3 - 4 weeks it would arrive.  Once it arrived, an installation appointment would be made shortly thereafter.  Sounded great.  A couple of months went by without a word from the company.  As it was in the dead of winterr I decided to just wait until  until warmer weather returned before searching for another company to come out and do the work.  The room didn't seem any colder than normal despite the inside pane of glass being broken.  Eventually I got a call from Alderfer in late February apologizing for long delay.  Apparently it had been a very busy season for them, which I can imagine with the really harsh winter our area had this season.  They wanted to schedule the installation right away if I was still interested.  I was hesitant, but wanted to get this off my to-do list so agreed to go ahead and scheduled to have the repair done.  Made an appointment for the upcoming Monday.  Of course another big snow storm was predicted so the office called and wanted to reschedule for another day.  When I got the nice lady in the office on the phone we rescheduled for the following Friday.  The installer called me 30 minutes before he was to arrive  as promised.  That gave me plenty of time to meet him at my home.  He was really friendly and took care not to drop broken glass in the home while he took the window out to his truck to repair.  He even put the cardboard we had tapped on the window to prevent the cats from hurting themselves up in the window to keep much of the heat from escaping.  He repaired the window and re-installed it pretty quickly.  He then removed the screen and redid that.  Whole job took about 40 minutes or so.  He cleaned the area and put the furniture back before he left.  He asked if it was OK for the office to bill me and I said that would be fine.  Got the bill in the mail about a week later and sent off the check.  Overall, I was satisfied.  It would have bee nice to to have had some communication to let me know they were backed up.  But they were apologetic about it.  Just glad that I got the window repaired.

"She has made stained glass window hangings."

"A lovely piece of leaded glass in our front door was in need of repair. These guys were beyond excellent. Knowledgeable, skilled, honest, pleasant, just plain nice. The repair was seamless, and the price reasonable. Great, great work at a fair price. We recommend without reservation."

"I sent a picture of the broken glass around 8:30. They were at my house around 11:15 and done by 11:45. Great job including clean-up. I really couldn't be more satisfied."

"Doc is excellent! Finding a contractor in Philly with honesty, integrity, and pride in their work is very difficult. Most home owners in Philly understand this. Doc was professional, courteous, communicative, and did the job correctly. It did go a little longer than planned, but that's to be expected with an old house and having to replace and fix previous crappy contractor work. His pricing is spot-on! Doc doesn't mess around - HE KNOWS HIS CRAFT. He is a master plumber and craftsman in the truest sense. You can't go wrong with Doc, and you know you'll get a fair price and be working with someone that will stand by their work. I will be working with Doc again for sure. I'm already saving for our next project."

"Everything went as expected and very well. We have had it for 5-7 years and I have no stains or scratches on it."

"It is rare today to find as dependable, efficient and honest a group as Fine Painters Inc.  They completed the job on time, exactly to the estimate, and were even able to accommodate extra work within the specified time frame.  They were immediately responsive to any questions or concerns.  They also took great care to clean and put things in order at the end of each day.

I highly recommend them to anyone."

"They are extremely efficient and reliable. They've done about 5 different jobs for me and I've been very satisfied with their work. They've painted a powder room and installed a vanity, light and mirror in it, they've installed in-line water filters, and there even put in an area of hardwood flooring. They are fast and friendly, I would definitely recommend them and rely on them for my handyman needs."

"They did a great job. Just forgot one window, but I did too!

"The windows were manufactured earlier than we expected and we were promptly contacted about installation. Although we were told the installation was scheduled for two days, the four man crew that arrived was able to finish in a single day! Each window was installed with the same consistency in quality and efficiency. Furthermore, the crew did an excellent job protecting our floors and furnishings in every room. When it comes to evaluating the installation crew, we couldn't be happier. Regarding price, we probably paid more than we should, but that's on us. We advise getting several other quotes first and then get Castle's quote. This will definitely help in your negotiating. The windows have definitely helped to eliminate draftiness in our home and helped to maintain a consistent temperature."
