They've been doing this for 50 years, and it shows in every bite. They make their own Slovenian kielbasa and hot sausage, which alone would be enough reason to stop in. But the real heavyweight champ here is the Reuben. This thing is obscene in the best way possible. You get a half-cow's worth of corned beef stacked on three slices of Mancini's seeded rye for like 13 bucks.. Perfectly grilled, balanced, and absolutely fearless with the portions. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you stop mid bite and laugh because it's that good. Knock-your-socks-off good. I'll go out on a limb and say this might be the best sandwich in the city. If you care about real food, real people, and places that still do things the right way, go here. Then go back again and again and again! Just a heads up the kitchen closes at 2pm and is NOT open on weekends!

They worked on removing old drop ceiling and out dated wall paneling with brand new plasterboard throughout the house. They were efficient with great attention to detail! I would work with Jason and the crew over and over again and am looking forward to doing so on different projects in the future. The value and results are well worth it! Mike

I wasn't sure how the rebuild should be done, but I had a few ideas. Jason was an excellent sounding board. I laid out my top priorities and how I thought they could be handled. He was easy to collaborate with, and whenever we hit practical limits to my vision, he was honest, clear, and quick to propose workable alternatives. His team showed up when they said they would and cleaned up every day, which made a big difference while living in the house during the job. They were also accommodating and able to work around four other projects I was managing in the house at the same time. The project did run a little longer than expected, but it was a negligible trade-off for the result: a bathroom that genuinely feels like something out of a magazine. What started as a plan to gain a bit of space and fix aging plumbing ended in something much better. I actually love taking showers again. Jason and his team delivered, big time. Only thing left now is saving enough to get him to do the rest of my house.

I also requested several quotes for this work to repair my deck - Alan came in at a very reasonable rate. Much more so than some of the other quotes and the work he did was of high standard. See photo of the time he took to sand the edges of the handrails; he also took special care to choose high quality boards. Even when he ended up realizing that there would need to be additional work to be done that would come at an additional cost to me, he made sure to talk me through my options, he made recommendations, and never forced me into anything. Instead, he worked with me to find solutions that would result in a safe, quality deck and also at a cost that I could manage. We're quite pleased with our repaired deck and would absolutely hire him again. He exceeded our expectations.

From the moment I called Rex Glass, the man on the phone was extremely friendly and helpful. I was able to give him the dimensions of the mirror, and he gave me a quote over the phone. Coming from the South Hills, it was a little hike (hike as in 25 minutes) to get to this location. When I arrived, the same man gave me a quote that was a little higher once he saw the mirror in person. He agreed to go down in price, based off of our initial phone conversation, which I thought was pretty awesome (only a few bucks, but still!) They repaired the mirror in no time. I received a text to come pick up the mirror, and when I did, I was extremely pleased with how it turned out! It looked original, like nothing had happened! Very thankful I found this place, hoping I don't have to use them in the future for mirror repairs! They do have beautiful shower doors, etc. They are much more than just a mirror replacement business, that's just what I used them for. Family owned, support local business!

They also provided a real time of expected arrival instead of something like a four-hour window taking up your entire day. They arrived a little before the time quoted with two people - one the main handyman and one being trained. They did a prompt and excellent job and the cost was very fair.
