"After dealing with frequent roof repairs, we finally decided on a complete replacement for our Livermore home. Avi kept us informed every step of the way, and the finished roof exceeded our expectations. It's made a noticeable difference during hot summer days."

"I was looking to replace a custom 1920's front door wall sconce, made from leaded stained glass. Margaret and Sea of Glass was a terrific find! They meticulously restored the sconce and updated with beautiful new color of unique glass. Easy to work with and flexible. Recommend for any custom stained glass repair or project."

"The work was not performed by Different Group Glass because prior my partner arranged for another company to provide the service. I will consider Different Glass in the future, because the phone and online interactions were courteous. Nate was very responsive and the customer service was excellent."

"I own a relatively large Eichler home. When it comes time to replace my 30+ windows and 5 sliding doors, I did my research and received more than a few quotes.

Terry was the only company that came more than 1 time, as a matter of fact, 6 times, to come, explain the materials and options, re-visit to confirm what needs to be done, etc. Five Star Windows was the only company that showed me different double pane glass with Low E, Low E2, and Low E3 coatings and demonstrated how effective each is against heat. Terry also explained the price difference and recommend the one that would be ideal for an Eichler.

I was also replacing my skylights, all twelve 2 feet by 6 feet panels. All the other companies came, did the measurements, and offer exact double pane replacements. Terri took the time, did the measurements, explain to me what type of glass will give me the the optimal heat reduction. He also explained the current codes and what is required and safest for my family. What impressed me the most was he went up the roof, came down, and went back up again and was able to identify who made the Skylight frame. Granted my house was built in the 60's, but he identified the maker of the frame and contacted the maker to inquire if a new frame is more suited for my new triple pane skylights. This passion, knowledge, and expertise is welcome and not seen from other vendors I received quotes from.

On top of all the window work, I also decided to replaced my front door to a new pre-hung door with better weather proofing and seals.

I decided to go with Five Star even though they were one of the more expensive quotes, but I also believe in "you get what you pay for", and I am glad I did.

When all the windows came, Terry and his team Glenn and Jeff inspected every piece of glass. One of the glass was of wrong measurements, and it was sent back immediately for a new one. Then there were these twelve triple pane skylight glass panels. Upon inspection, Terry did not like how the seals were done and sent all twelve panels back. I would not have known otherwise, but Five Star took the initiative and took care of me. They could have ignore the issue and avoid the hassle, and I am glad they did not.

The install was done timely and as promised. Throughout the 3 week installation process, the crew Glenn and Jeff came on time daily and cleaned up every day when they are done.

The new front door handle and lock set took 6 weeks to come, and it came in the wrong color because of my own fault. Heather from the office worked with me and re-ordered. This time around, one of the lock sets did not work, so Heather ordered another set for me. The third time around, the incorrect set was picked and shipped by the shipper, and then the forth time, the lock handle was not the correct side, and the fifth time's the charm. Throughout this process, Heather had been more than accommodating and patient with me. I was frustrated myself, but she was professional and followed though every time.

On a final note, 2 months after the install, I notice a 6 inch scratch on one of the sliding doors. I called Five Star, and they had the manufacturer come and replaced the door panel, no questions, no hassles.

I am very glad I chose Five Star, I would recommend them to any of the my friends and family. I would say it again, you get what you pay for. Five Star and the entire team certainly showed me a quality and hassle free experience."

"The company called to let me know the person they were sending was a little delayed.  That was thoughtful and appreciated.  He arrived just a little bit later than scheduled.  The worker was good, polite and professional. 
It would have helped to been given a list of materials needed prior, as the worker and I had to go to the lumber yard together.  Someone else mentioned that, but I had no idea what to buy.  And probably the person doing the repairs needed to eyeball it as well.  But that time was included in the time allocated for repairs.  We went to the closest place not the least expensive place.
The worker was quiet, thorough, and replaced the rotted wood with new.  That was during the summer, and I have not had any problems (although it has been a rather dry winter.)

"Excellent!!! Christopher Rubio was very responsive and kept me abreast of time of arrival throughout the day. He had a project in the morning and was coming to perform work for my mom later in the day. I was coming from an hour away so trying to coordinate time. He was very punctual and ended up waiting for me to arrive since I was delayed in traffic. Install went very well. We ran into a snag with one of the shower bars because the second stud could not be clearly identified, so Christopher immediately located a hardware store nearby and purchased tile anchors to secure bar into wall. He wanted to ensure that the bars installed were safe for my mom as if he were installing them for his mom or grandmother. He left the area clean and performed the job well. He made an elderly woman (my mom) very happy and I have piece of mind that my mom is safe having grab bars in her shower area. Thanks Christopher! I highly recommend Christopher to anyone whom is seeking a handyman. (He does painting, plumbing, electrical, TV Mounting, baby proofing and misc repairs as well)."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.

Yes, many professionals provide custom-cut glass replacements for enclosures that require precise sizing.

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. 

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.
