"Nate did an excellent job replacing a broken window pane. He was prompt, responded to my questions and emails quickly, and was very efficient. I requested a quote from Angie's List on a Sunday afternoon, and the broken window glass was replaced less than 24 hours later. The glass that needed to be replaced was frosted and textured. I sent him a picture of the glass, and he was able to match it perfectly. The new pane is an exact match -- it looks perfect. I highly recommend Nate from Different Group Glass."

"Did a good job initially. Did not install small plugs that cover the screws holding the window to the frame. Failed to respond to come back and do it. Some cosmetic drawback to their good job. Weak customer services!"

"We remodeled our kitchen, which I?ve heard can be a nightmare! Not for us! I have to say that all the crafts people from the demo guys, plumbing, drywall, patch, and paint, carpenters were all top notch, professional, courteous, and polite.? They did not disturb my neighbors, they arrived each morning when they said they would, and cleaned up every day.?? Highly recommend!"

"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."

"We are so happy with his work!  The shower is wonderful, tiles look great, and he even put in detail in the shower!  We also chose a hexagon 1 inch tile for the floor and he did a great job lining them up and grouting them evenly.  He was professional, cleaned up every day, listened to what we wanted as well as offering suggestions, and got the job done on-time and on-budget.  We will definitely call Dragan for our next project!

"I needed several things done: 1) Repair a broken anchor that secured shower glass to a half wall. 2) Replace the silicone caulking around the shower glass 3) Adjust shower door so it no longer grazes the half wall upon closure 4) Replace the door sweep They were very responsive in the initial visit to look at the problem and suggested just recaulking to secure the glass. I rejected that idea, as I didn't think it would hold for very long. They made an appointment to return a few days later. They arrived at 10:10 am, made all the repairs and left by 11:40 am. I thought the $800 price was a little steep and there were a few very minor issues, but overall the quality of the work was decent. The minor issues were as follows: 1) There was a lot of old silicone caulk scattered around the room after they left. I'd have liked them to vacuum the room. 2) There were a few places where the silicone was got on the marble and on the metal framing."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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

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 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.

New glass costs anywhere from $3 to $100 per square foot. More specifically, tempered and insulated glass—a common option for sliding glass doors—costs between $10 and $14 per square foot.

Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on the number of blocks and customization requirements.
