In May 2012, we had a bad windstorm that took shingles off my roof.  The USAA insurance adjuster said the whole roof had to be replaced.  I know a little about roofs but not enough to feel comfortable about picking a company considering the amount of companies that move through here because of storms like this.  I asked USAA if they had any suggestions and they referred me their program contractor -Total Construction Service Inc. and contacted the company for me.  I got a call from the estimator that same day.  The estimator, Mitch Stringer, came to my house, went up on the roof, measured and answered all my questions.  We talked about the measurements that the adjuster had made and the material I could choose from; how they would install the roof; when and how the material would be delivered; and the cleanup.  He pointed out that my roof was not ventilated properly and we discussed how they could correct the problem and what the result of the change he proposed would make.  He took pictures before and after and did all the work to change the work order from USAA to include necessary upgrades to the roof that we had discussed.  I also had some issues with my downspouts so he spent time measuring and discussing them with me.  He had the proposal ready in 3 days and I paid no money out-of-pocket prior to the work being done.  The material was delivered the day before the work was done, the crew showed up when they said they would and completed the roof in one day.  When all was complete, Mitch came back and went over the changes and was able to demonstrate that it had indeed made a difference in the movement of air.  He did all the work to get the payment from the insurance company and I paid my deductible.  USAA and Total Construction have a great working relationship which positively impacted my experience.

The work was done to my satisfaction and at the time of my choosing and they followed up to ensure that I was satisfied.  The company demonstrated honesty and integrity and follow through.

Glass Block Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps prevent buildup and maintains clarity.

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

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