"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

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

Glass walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.

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. 

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.

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.
