"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."

FAQs for glass block service projects in Pride, LA

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 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. 

The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:

  • Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block

  • Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block

  • Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block

  • Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block

  • Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block

  • Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block

  • Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block

  • Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block

Typically, glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, slightly less than regular windows, which last 20 to 50 years. Resealing glass blocks can help extend the lifespan of this bathroom feature. The key to ensuring that glass block windows last as long as possible is to have a professional glass block installer place them. Glass block pros will have the skills, tools, and knowledge required to install these special features into any space, noting obstacles like damaged windows or too-cramped areas during the consultation.

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.
