"Did a great job. Prompt visit to do estimate and timely scheduling. Came and did work and there was an issue with surface after it dried (invisible until next day). Messaged their office and they were back 2 days later and fully remedied the issue by re-grinding and applying material from a different batch. They resurfaced a porch that was spalling and it perfectly matches the stairs. Very friendly and cleaned up job site nicely."

"Nombach did and outstanding job on the project work I needed done. The windows they replaced were very old looked to be the original windows when the house was built. They were prompt with their arrival time and one day the weather was bad (snow & Rain) they were not able to work outside. They called and notified me that they would not be able to work outside do to weather conditions. When they finished the work the house looked great and the new windows and siding gave the house a really nice new look. I would highly recommend Nombach for exterior work on your home."

"Ben is very professional and has great attention to detail. He is also very good with keeping you informed with telephone calls He removed an existing fence and installed a new pressure treated shadowbox fence for me. He did this for significantly less than other fence companies. He also repaired a ventilation problem in my attic with a logical method that no other repairman I called had. This also saved me hudreds of dollars. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend and would call him again without hesitation."

"Paul responded almost instantly to my request for an estimate of the job and continued being attentive to all of our questions and concerns. He set a schedule for completing the job which he and his partner adhered to. They were both courteous and professional and did a great job for us. I did have to remind Paul to cover our furniture in order to protect it from the masonry dust but he took care of that and totally cleaned up after themselves when they were done. The only signs of their presence was a new hearth and changed fireplace front!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.

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.

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 windows aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.
