"The crew members were very nice. They came on time. Everything went well till they found mold behind our shower stall then everything go down the drain. Originally, they told us the whole job only took one week and we took 2 days to fixed the mold problem. At the end of the first week, they only did 1/10 of the job. They were very behind! And then they told us that they have a very tight schedule so they could only come whenever they were available--that's like one or two days a week and the worst was they only let us know the date like couple days ahead of time. It took them THREE months to finished our bathroom! We had paid for diamond fusion coating on the shower stall glass but they forgot to put that in the contract. Well, they did do a good job as our bathroom look great!"

Everything went well.  Workers came and cleaned up.  No problems with installation.

If you want your windows done, call them.  If you are "thinking about it".  Don't call.  They will call you daily afterwards.  I had to block them from my phone as they continue to call me every 2 days for what I don't know.  Work was well but the phone calls are annoying.

"We were impressed with the entire project. The grounds were left clean and uncluttered every day when we arrived home. They even painted some things like some basement windows and a rusty light fixture which we were not expecting, but were pleased they did (I'd suggest being clear about anything you don't want painted!). The detail and edging was better than expected, and we are generally pretty fussy about that. This was the best experience we have had with a contractor to date."

"Contractor was on time and very professional. They cleaned my chimney and inspected my other flues. The only thing I did not appreciate was; they took my main heat apart and then told me there were a birds nest blocking the chimney/flue. They turned off the heater and told me they could not turn it back on because of the blockage. I called the folks who installed my heater. They checked it out, removed the few branches and turned the heater back on. It took about 10 minutes. The estimate for the repairs, as Champion saw it, came to over $3000.00. I don't doubt that their apprasial of the sisution, this is a very old home and it needs lots of work and I do plan to get some of the things done in the near future, as I can afford them-still my wife and I did not like being without heat for a night.

"Once we got in touch with each other (my emails were going to spam), things fell into place pretty quickly.  He sent an estimate, which looked good, and started on the work quickly in order to complete it before we moved into the house.
The popcorn ceiling removal was a hot, demanding job in the summer.  What made it more difficult was the fact that under the popcorn, a lot of the ceiling had not been taped or sealed.  Lots of finishing and repairs were required before they could prime and paint it.  They repaired nail pops as well.
The underlayment, flooring and trim went in afterwards.  All of it looks terrific and very professional.  The stairs look great as well, as the carpenter was very detail-oriented.  
Jim and his crew are really nice people and very helpful.  I will be hiring them again to put in windows and paint inside.  I highly respect his work."

"David Strutton of ABX arrived promptly and assessed the areas of  the house exterior that needed wood rot repair.  He told me he would not be able to repair the rot on my windows at this time because of the Big Deal time constraints.  Because I had called ahead with my problems, I knew this was a possibility and I had enough work to fill the three hours.  Dave went to buy the lumber he needed and promptly returned to start the job.  He worked tirelessly and efficiently until the job was completed.  The new wood repairs look great and I am very pleased with the craftsmanship.  I am planning to have the windows done in the future as his estimate for their repair was reasonable and I appreciated his honesty and professionalism."

Glass Block Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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 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. 

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.
