"I found them on Angie’s List. They said that they had an A rating, but it has been a very questionable relationship. Their estimate for the job was $300, and they finally got it down to $250. I had given an $80 check for the estimate to the man who came down, and it was to be applied to the services. I had issued the check on the company name, and the owner called and said that the bank wouldn’t accept the check because it didn’t have his personal name on it. I think that is unusual, because he should have a business account. He came back, and I gave him another check for $250, because he needed the check to go and buy supplies to clean my deck. I thought that was unusual too, because he was running it so close that I had to pay for the supplies before he could use them. He sent a man back at around five in the evening, which was very late, and he started scrubbing my deck with some gallons of detergent and my broom, which I had offered. He didn’t have any power washing equipment, so he scrubbed and scrubbed, and he had just started on my driveway, when his boss came and picked him up at seven. When I questioned him about the power equipment, he said that it was at another job, and he was going to go and get it. When he came back, he said that he didn’t have any power equipment. So that man is going to come and scrub my driveway this morning, with my hose and my broom. I have some more work that I wanted him to do, but now I don’t know if I want him to do any more work for me at all. He said that he was sorry, and that it was all a misunderstanding, but it was just his total inefficiency. The worker who worked here really worked hard, and he did a good job, but I was really surprised that he had to come and get another check so that he could go and buy some supplies, and the fact that he doesn’t have a business account. I was also surprised that he sent that man to scrub my deck with a gallon of detergent. I have cats, cats lick their feet, and I would just be horrified if anything happened to them."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.

Luckily, glass block windows need minimal maintenance. Other than regular cleaning, the only maintenance involved in having a glass block window is inspecting for cracks every year and applying sealer to the mortar joints if the blocks are set in masonry mortar. Glass block windows hold up well against wind and moisture better than traditional windows and are not prone to rot.

Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.

Glass block mortar is the best choice for glass block window units. It is specifically formulated for glass block window installation. Glass block mortar is usually a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and special chemicals. It is a white mortar that is applicable inside and outside your home. Do not use regular tile mortar because it may not have the binding strength and flexibility required for glass block windows.

You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.
