"I needed to have the cabinets adjusted to fit more modern appliances, and I also needed to have a storm door replaced. Tom did an excellent job on both occasions. He always communicated in a timely way, He worked well with me on the appliance delivery day to uninstall appliances, and he stayed late to install the appliances which entailed several adjustments. The appliance delivery was late by a month, and he still fit me into his schedule--a man of his word. He did good work and everything looks good and works well. I would certainly hire again."

"This was the first time that I hired someone to assemble furniture for me. If I’d known that the experience would’ve been this great, I would’ve hired someone a long time ago! Cliford arrived approximately 5 minutes early - which was perfect. He carried in the bookcases from my car, moved my bed and some other items for me, and worked very hard at assembling my three items. (I’m disabled and had tried, unsuccessfully, to move everything out of his workspace PRIOR to his arrival.) He listened to me, making sure that he knew exactly what work I needed completed. He was not condescending, and had no problem answering my questions. He’s very personable, respectful, and friendly. When he came into my home, he WAS wearing a mask, which I GREATLY appreciated. He parked in the appropriate parking space, saving us BOTH a potential headache with the rental office and towing company. It is quite obvious that Cliford takes pride in his work, and in providing excellent customer service! Overall, this was an awesome experience, made possible by Cliford! Without hesitation, I would recommend him to others. I have already discussed future projects with him. I will DEFINITELY be hiring Cliford again!!! Thank you, HomeAdvisor!"

"Bob Bequette of Bob's Remodeling and Repair gave me a bid that was substantially lower than any other bids I received. He began the project on the expected date and did a great job. In fact, I will be using him to complete several additional jobs in my home."

Glass Block 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.

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

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.

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.
