"SGK came out and replaced 4 of our windows earlier this year. The team was professional and helpful from the office staff down to the installers. We love our new windows and we won't hesitate to use SGK again for future projects."

"Manuel is truly a house-saver. Not only did he keep me updated on his arrival time (he was only five minutes late), he was nice, had great attention to detail, cleaned up afterwords, and was great with all the little and big things I needed done to the house we just moved into. In fact, when something I installed fell down ten minutes after he left, he came back to do it right without any hesitation and saved my day. In fact, I am writing this review as I get ready to call him again for a second round of fixes and installations."

"First, Rani was able to come out and do an estimate quickly, which was great since I wanted to get the repairs done before I moved in (I had just bought the house).
The laundry room door widening, exterior wall repair, window replacements all went perfectly. The door was exactly the size and location I wanted and the paint matched perfectly (which I was a bit worried about as one side of the wall was a fairly strong orange color). The exterior paint also matched perfectly. The windows look great and are extremely easy to open -- it's a pleasure to use them.
The bathroom fan replacement had a few hiccups. The fan/heater combos themselves were very nice and well-priced, but the original installation left gaps in the ceiling in the master bath and some drywall scattered around. Rani was extremely responsive when I contacted him about this, however, and had someone over the next day to fill in the gaps. It took another few days to get the ceiling painted, but the final result was of the same caliber as the other three repairs.
The windows and fans were excellent quality for the amount they cost, and overall I got excellent quality work quickly and was pleased with the results.

"Christopher was awesome! I spent months and months asking around trying to hire family, friends & other "professionals" to help knock out some home projects I needed done. I finally found someone who is knowledgeable, flexible & VERY well priced for quality craftsmanship. Christopher went above and beyond to make sure my family got exactly what we wanted brining us a couple of choices to choose from. We now have a bluetooth (to stream music) fan multi-light combo that came out pretty dope. I have already asked if he could return to build some custom window screens and the wife is looking into having him redo the kitchen floor. Christopher is a keeper!"

Glass Block Windows questions, answered by experts

Installing glass block windows has benefits and disadvantages, as with most materials. The pros and cons can vary depending on the type of glass block and the window location.

Pros

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair

Glass block installation can be relatively expensive due to the range of material costs and the labor time to assemble this type of specialty window. The process proceeds slowly as the glass does not absorb moisture from mortar and silicone caulk takes longer to harden, leaving spacers to hold up the structure until the caulk or mortar begins to cure. Plus, if your current windows have structural issues or damage, you’ll need to repair them before beginning the project, increasing your bottom line. 

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.

Glass block windows aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.

Options include tempered, laminated, and tinted glass for various needs.
