I wanted to share my positive experience in working with Daniel Goldon Wolkoff of Adams Morgan Stained Glass. I first connected with Daniel in September 2024 when we began the process of selling my grandparents' longtime home in Cliffside Park, NJ. The house was built in 1905 and featured a small stained glass window above a brass mail slot. Daniel spent time guiding a contractor through gently and carefully removing the window from the house and packing it for transport. I brought it to his studio in DC and he was very thorough in explaining the restoration process to me. Daniel kept me apprised with updates throughout this process and even delivered the finished product to my home and installed it. Would highly recommend this studio and their work! read more

I would not recommend this company to anyone. They took a transom and two sidelights from my door to relead. The two sidelights they returned have hideous craftsmanship and are eyesores that look like I tried to do it myself with the help of a toddler. Their business practices also lack integrity and professionalism. I contacted Daniel several times to request progress pictures but he ignored my request and told me I would see them when he brings them back. When he returned them he said they had a lot of difficulty with the job, this was the first time I heard there was a problem despite checking in. The photos honestly speak for themself. Barely a straight line was made and that was the exact skill needed for this job. I would have appreciated a chance to reevaluate strategy or even stop work if it was beyond his skill set. I went with him because I thought regardless of drama others noted at least there will be a quality job. Daniel was indignant that I was unhappy with his work quality and refused any apology or accountability, just continually repeating over and over that his work is museum worthy and I should just be happy with what I have. Please see reference pictures. When Daniel was at my property he told me he made a mistake with my quote of $3000 and wanted $1400 more. Our signed contract was already in place. This is similar to another review where he asked for more money when on site despite the scope of work not changing. Of course I refused the 50% up charge. He said he would make new molding to go around the stained glass as some snapped when they originally removed them. That did not happen. After they glued everything in and put the damaged molding back they said they were "beat" and leaving. Without fixing the issues to the molding or painting it back to black after asking me to go buy black paint. Their excuse was that it wasn't in the contract despite them clearly originally setting out to do just that. read more

An architect we know recommended Daniel, and we could not be more pleased. Our antique stained glass got damaged by movers, and we wondered if anyone could repair it let alone restore to former glory. Daniel did more than that. He repaired the glass itself and then had it framed even better than before. Looking at other reviews: By all means make sure customer and craftsman are clear and agreed on scope terms. But there's a reason Daniel is THE go-to for stained glass restoration, both for household and the region's major institutions. Amazing work and excellent rates. Highly recommended. read more

Adams Morgan Stained Glass - Stained glass repair! Excellent work. - Glass & Mirrors Near Me

This is as update to our earlier review re: Adam's Morgan Stained Glass Window: More than 28 months since proprietor Mr. Wolkoff removed from our home--under agreement to restore--our historic transom window and following our repeated but ultimately failed attempts (directly and via Court-appointed arbitrators) to resolve the matter, we are reluctantly but patiently awaiting our day in DC Civil Court for a ruling and the inevitable return of our property. As others have attested, the quality of Mr. Wolkoff's work is top-notch and by most measures unparalleled. Based on multiple visits to his workshop, we appreciate his restoration of our historic window is of the highest quality, and I would encourage homeowners with similar restoration needs to consider Adam's Morgan Stained Glass. However, so to avoid our misfortune, I would also encourage homeowners to do so with utmost caution. Be sure to outline at length the Scope of Work and cost expectations in an air-tight contract. Otherwise, you could risk facing as we have unexpected, arbitrary and exorbitant up-charges (78% more than agreed, in our case) in exchange for the return of your stained glass window. read more

My 80-year-old stained glass art was cracked in 2 places and dis-colored, Daniel replaced the broken glass, matched the color perfectly and now you can't even tell there is a repair. His original quote was very reasonable. Daniel called to discuss and get approval for an alternative, better solution for the repair while working on my window hanging. His work is meticulous and I couldn't be happier and his price was very fair. read more

Daniel Wolkoff is a talented, experienced artisan. I have a large, old, stained glass window whose heavy metal frame was separating from the glass. The repair he did not only improved the integrity and strength of the entire frame but aesthetically it looks a lot better than before. I highly recommend him. Plus he's an honest broker and all around nice guy. Jennifer read more

Had an old leaded glass window that got broken and no normal glass person wanted to do it. They came, removed window and put up temp board, fixed it and replaced it on a tight timeline for a real estate sale. It was $800 which beat replacing it and the matching window on the other side of the door. The communication was excellent, all workers were careful and tidy and helpful and showed up when they said. Very happy! Plus super nice people! read more

We had three historic stained glass mosaics in need of conservation and contacted Daniel Wolkoff in November, 2019. Daniel sent his assistant to take a look and give us an estimate. A lot of effort went into restoring the glasswork to its original beauty. Transoms had to be carefully removed. Windows were scraped and prepared for the restored mosaics to seat properly. Two assistants arrived in December 2019 to remove first floor mosaics and arrived in January 2020 with high ladders to remove the third mosaic from second story window. Daniel kept us updated during the entire conservation progress, emailing us photos of the intricacies of soaking, removing leading, and re-leading the mosaics. He was able to match color on a missing piece of glass! Daniel did extensive research on our historic windows and sent us the patent info on the company that produced them. We didn't mind the 8 month process because we wanted the windows to look spectacular. And they do!! Daniel's team arrived and installed the three historic conserved mosaics in mid July 2020 and a week later installed arched cut plate glass coverings as security and weather barriers. We are thrilled with the results! Crisp, colorful, bright original mosaics that add a special character and shine in original glory on our house. Daniel is a true artisan, careful in his attention to detail, a lover of mosaic, a storyteller with knowledge of his craft. His company has been in business in the DC metro area for many decades, restoring the beauty of historic properties. If you are flexible and curious, this is the restorer to call. read more

Daniel Wolkoff replaced my front door transom and had gold leaf lettering placed on the glass, the result is just fabulous. The planning took a bit of time, but in the end it was well worth the time. I highly recommend him, but caution patience. read more
