"Initial response was quick, estimate was professional, the higher end of the estimates I got, but they were not a bunch of kids just starting out, and were quite professional. Their estimate came with a copy of their insurance and contractor license, which was very impressive. It took awhile to get the work started, and I felt they could have stayed in touch a bit better. But once the work started it went quickly, professional, everyone knew what they were doing. We recently had other work done here, and got screwed by the contractors we hired. After 3 flakes, we were a bit nervous getting this work done. On The Geaux handled things much better and provided a much higher quality of work than the others we used. We also own rental townhouses and will be using On The Geaux for maintenance and repairs there. Once the work was done, clean up, which was in the estimate, took 2 1/2 weeks to get done. Form boards with rusty nails we had to move ourselves from the backyard to a safer place, due to our having dogs (wife is a trainer) and very young grandchildren. After a couple of calls they finally got someone here to take care of it, and it was done properly and professionally. No one is perfect, and this type of work is full of bad apples and criminals, but On The Geaux was by far the best experience we've had so far. They weren't perfect, cut no one is, and they actually tried very hard to accommodate us professionally. That meant a lot to us. I would hire them again, but I would stay on top of things a bit more aggressively on my end. They are the best we've used, and as said before, after using several very shady contractors who've left us with huge regrets. On The Geaux should be at the top of anyone's list of go-to contractors."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
