"From the very first meeting with their sales associate nothing could have been more pleasant and easier. During the original sales meeting I was worried about rue turn around time for products to arrive, I was told they’d have everything as scheduled and they did. On the scheduled day of the install Sergei and his crew showed up precisely when scheduled and during the entire 2 days of their visit they were very respectful, professional and friendly, I had some questions and they were all answered. At the end of each day I walked around the exterior of the house to inspect the work performed and the general cleanliness and found nothing wrong with the work and all areas were cleaned more thoroughly than expected. 16 windows, 1 bay window and 3 exterior doors finished in just over 2 days. I will eventually hire them again for my roof and highly recommend them!"

"Somehow, in the line of communication, the separate estimate (including description of window to be cut/installed) did not manifest. A call to Frank Cortes of Castle in Bristol, rectified that and the cost of the additional window was quoted which seemed rather high), and when I verbalized that, it was adjusted downward to a cost that seemed fair and we moved forward. I was told by Castle that they would handle the approval of my window installation with Imagineers, the condo management company. This turned out not to be the case. I had to personally oversee this. Initially, there was a considerable amount of phone calling and emailing that took place to get everyone 'on the same page' relevant to the building permit and the architectural drawing of the new window. Never having owned a condo before, it was a huge learning process for me. There were many twists and turns and at times I was ready to throw in the proverbial towel; but, thanks to the intervention of a wonderful consultant here in Glastonbury who stepped in and took over the reins at the last moment, the proper/necessary information on the actual construction of the new window was accomplished, the building permit achieved, approval from the management company and the condo association board was granted, and a date was set for the install. On the day of the install, a crew of three men arrived. They were extremely well trained, courteous, and respectful of my home. Protective coverings were laid down wherever they were working. They were an impressive team who chattered easily amongst themselves and the install was seamless. The lead installer, Victor, answered any questions I had and made me feel very comfortable that all would go well. His workmanship was impeccable. The cutting into the wall in the bedroom was done with complete attention to detail and the finished product was perfection! It was a long day but worth every single minute. When they were finished, the yard surrounding my condo was strewn with debris that completely disappeared before they departed. I can honestly say that from start to finish, the window installers were nothing less than completely professional. My dealings with Mike at (headquarters?) in New Jersey were always addressed promptly and professionally. There may have been one or two minor glitches, but were more to do with communication and were always resolved. In summary: I have only great things to say about Castle Windows. Do I think I may have spent less with another company? Possibly. But, in hindsight, I do not regret my choice, and I would highly recommend: the company, the employees.....and the product! Class A quality all the way around."

Overall it was a refreshing, seamless experience. I would highly recommend them."

"

Everything went well.  Workers came and cleaned up.  No problems with installation.

If you want your windows done, call them.  If you are "thinking about it".  Don't call.  They will call you daily afterwards.  I had to block them from my phone as they continue to call me every 2 days for what I don't know.  Work was well but the phone calls are annoying.

"I am very happy with the final result of my home remodel which included completing some cosmetic work in my bathroom that had been started by my husband but never finished, new Pergo floors in my hall and living room, painting in several rooms, gate installation on my front porch, new sliding glass door, new furnace and central air, and my personal favorite, a completely new kitchen. Jody, Sean and several of their employees and subcontractors worked in my home for the better part of a year. In a project of this scope, obviously there were a few issues that arose along the way but all were resolved to my complete satisfaction. When there was an occasional disagreement on an issue, Sean always ended the discussion with “don’t worry about it, I will take care of it. I want you to be happy”, a sign of a contractor willing to work with his customers to come to a fair resolution to any disagreement which to me as a consumer is everything you need to know when you hire someone to work in your home. Sean and Jody have become like family to me and I would recommend them, and I would use them again myself for any home improvement services needed."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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

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 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.
