I'm very impressed with Joel's services. He is reliable and an old fashioned owner. He installed all my leaded window glasses which included 2 shower rooms and one double garage and one closet.

Update to my review. I ended up having a problem with my windows installed by Masterpiece Glass. They clouded up and they ended up replacing one. I sent them numerous emails and also sent photographs showing the problem on the other window in the same opening. I followed up with them for months before someone would look at the issue. They came out today and were so rude and refused to do anything, saying they can't see anything. I spent a lot of money for these windows and they don't hold up.
