"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

"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."

"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!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.

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.

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

DIY is possible for small projects, but professional installation ensures proper sealing, structural integrity, and a precise finish.

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.
