142 Please use my daughter's name, Michelle, instead of mine, but what I can say is this: We couldn't have asked for a more talented company to do the work that a previously hired contractor left undone and also incorrect in terms of meeting codes for plumbing. Redcorn Construction re-did the...
They where extremely professional and efficient. They made sure to stick to the scheduled time line, everything was done correctly and I really couldn't be happier with the service I received. I had a total of 15 windows installed, with my down payment they ordered the windows and had them...
BAGNALL BUILDERSThey were wonderful!! We live in a really old house and had them replace old kitchen/bathroom windows a couple of years ago and we noticed a DRASTIC improvement! When we decided to get the rest of them replaced, we called them first!! Highly knowledgeable and helpful! We had a few other...
It went great. They came and measured the window for a custom order. They scheduled an install appointment, showed up on time, and installed it with no issues.
AUSTINTATIOUS BLINDS & SHUTTERSwindows were clean- some were left pretty streaky. They did break a small stained glass piece but paid to have it repaired.
Well, the windows are clean, but when I asked the gentlemen about the sills he said yes they were cleaned as well. We both have a different idea of what the sill is. I have slider windows and he did not wipe down in front of the window. In my picture window I have a wooden sill and when I...
They were on time, efficient and clea. Didn't even know they were there other than the window was replaced. This is my second home and and still using them.
I had them replace seven windows and they did a great job. It went quite quickly and they matched both stain and paint colors nicely. I would recommend their services

If you have a problem with your window, such as broken glass, minor leaks, or a problem with your window being stuck, repairing the broken part might be a cheaper option than replacing the entire window. However, if you have a deteriorating window frame or major leaks, buying a new window will be the better long-term solution.
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
Window replacement costs between $180 and $410 per window, or an average of $280 per window. However, your specific replacement job could cost as little as $100 or as much as $750. Factors such as frame material, the number of windows you need, and the type of glass you order all impact the overall cost. For example, simple double-glazed windows will cost $3 to $6 per square foot, but the stronger tempered glass ranges from $12 to $14 per square foot.
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.
The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:
Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block
Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block
Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block
Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
