In business since 1982

In business since 1982. Family owned & operated. Before starting my own business I worked for my father. I started in 1969 during summers and full time after graduating high school in 1973. My self taught grandfather started doing masonry and concrete work in 1945 and my father in 1950. I became an apprentice in 1971. We pride ourselves in quality workmanship. Whether a small foundation repair to a complete brick veneer, sidewalk or driveway, to a brand new in ground swimming pool you can be assured of a top quality job that's built to last ! We are often asked: How did you start building pools? We started building concrete block pools with vinyl liners in them in 1969 and then proceeded to build factory package pools beginning in 1975. \n To help keep over head costs down our office is in our home. Give us a call, you'll be glad you did!

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

Options include tempered, laminated, and tinted glass for various needs.

Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.

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 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.
