If you are a woman, want to be an informed customer, expect expertise from a company whose owner,…read more Harold Boland, says "he's been in [this] business all [his] life", DO NOT go to Berkshire Plate Glass at 35 First St in Pittsfield MA. When asked for his professional advise on measurements for a plate glass stand that would be similar to but slightly larger than one he had on display, he told me he "was not a professional" and that if I wanted information I "should Google 'plate glass'." I agree with his former statement and had done my research to obtain a functional but not full knowledge of what I needed before engaging his services. My failures were trying to get information and not providing the measurement to the center of the leg that would raise the glass stand.* *Please note: Neither Mr Boland nor his assistant could tell me the dimension of the leg; thus, making it impossible for me to calculate this measurement. (I provided the measurement to edge of the leg from the edge of the glass). I try to support local even if prices are higher than non-local competitor (and Berkshire Plate Glass' are significantly higher). In the end, Mr Boland refused my business so I cannot comment on the quality of Berkshire Plate Glass' work, but as Mr Boland self-described, I suspect it, too, would not be professional. People wonder why Pittsfield is called 'the pits' and 'pity'. It's a pity that Berkshire Plate Glass exemplifies how pitiful Pittsfield businesses treat customers. I see an Amazon order in my near future.

We had them replace the ripped porch screens, power wash railings, roof, and the entire exterior of the house, as well as clean the gutters. They also replaced our old lousy gutter guards. Rudy did several walk arounds with me during the project to show me the progress and point out areas of concern, such as places where there were gaps in the existing deck trim that had caused water damage under the fascia. They were able to replace all of the rotting boards and added new trim to cover the gaps, which we hadn't planned on, but it made the deck much more sound and looks great, even better than before! He also pointed out that a number of our other old window screens around the house were frayed or torn, and offered to replace them while they were there, at a very fair price. The entire deck/porch looks new again. His team took care to carefully clean up the work site before they left. This is a family business, and they were consistently kind and very responsive. We will definitely use them again for future projects.
