"Damon is great to coordinate with. He’s kind and funny, accommodating and makes scheduling great. They did a wonderful job replacing the window glass and have a 3 year warranty. I have used them on patio doors in the past as well!"

"Overall the process was pretty painless. My bathroom remodel had been dragging on due to contractor issues so I was ready to get things finished up. Chris came over with another employee (who actually installed the glass later on) and they took measurements. We discussed options and the fact that I wanted the glass to go higher then the average height (72") due to the fact the regular shower head was installed at an abnormal height. We reach a compromise at 78" which actually turned out really nice (it's flush with the top of the door jam) and the fact that the shower door was 30" wide made for a really heavy piece of glass so I'm glad they still got it up the stairs!
It took about a week to get the glass in and that fell over Thanksgiving so had to wait another week to get it installed. Installation took a couple of hours. Shower looks beautiful with brushed nickel finish hardware. I also got the Cardinal 10 protection so hopefully that holds up to keeping the shower glass clean(er).
The main reason I went with this company was that they had one of the lower bids and they only use hardware on the sides of the glass and not the bottom to hold it. You get a really clean look all around the shower with less hardware. Also they didn't have to put any holes in the travertine stone.
Great job, thanks!"

"oThis was a great experience start to finish. The price is solid, beating out my insurance company's provider by a good $80 - $100, the work was scheduled and performed quickly and the windshield looks good.
I used the $25 off coupon I printed  from Angies list without a problem, which brought the cost from 255 down to 230.
My insurance company's placed wanted $298 plus tax plus $29.95 to come out
to me to fix it. Royal did all that for the flat $255.
Definitely would use them again if I needed to replace any of my car's glass.

"William from Boston Windows was exceedingly professional and up front. I called him for a quote to replace the windows in my townhouse. He was able to come to my house the next day to take measurements. He has been doing installations since he was 16 and had alot of knowledge. Prior to the visit, he had me send some photos of my windows to try to gage the price of the job better as well. Long story short, Mr. Boston tried to price match one of my quotes for me, but there ended up being a problem with the way my windows were cut in the townhouse on the outside, which would have increased the cost of the job by several hundred dollars because he has to pay staff to do it (vs. the other company, whose labor is all in-house). In other words, he couldn't match the price after all because I was already offered a discount from the other company and the job was so complicated. The other window companies would not have paid attention to the level of detail Mr. Boston had specified, but I ended up making my decision due to budget reasons. Mr. Boston even went and looked at my neighbor's windows to compare the architecture (since town houses are supposed to be built the same). Mr. William did not pressure me in a sale like some other companies and was up front about the cost and what I was going getting myself into if I went with X, Y, or Z. He told me flat out, that if the other similar company could keep everything in-house and could cut me a really good deal, I should go with them. Because of that, I really appreciate it. I would recommend giving BWD windows a chance if you are on the market for windows; he will try his best to work with the prices, being a one-man shop. If you have a really complicated job that would significantly affect the functioning of your house however, I would also recommend having his expertise on the job. I will be calling him if I ever need a repair on a window or door down the line."

"It was an overall great experience!! I called old line glass explaining my dilemma. They came to give me an estimate 2 days later. The best part of all was they were able to do most of the work that same day. I thought they were going to have to order glass or at least the screens, but to my surprise he cut the glass right then and there and made the screens. Very happy would definitely recommend them."

"I had to call about 3 times to be sure they received my email and set the pick up date.  Once he received it they were able to quickly turn around and cut the three pieces of glass I needed.  The man who helped us was very professional.

"We used the Mega Kitchen and Bath in Silver Spring. We worked with Abrihim who helped us design our bathroom remodel. Grover and his assistant did the work. They came in the morning and worked until late afternoon, sometimes until 6pm. The work was excellent and completed in a timely fashion. We are very happy with the finished product and I would highly recommend Mega Kitchen and Bath, Silver Spring location."

"The first bathroom went smoothly.  The second bathroom encountered some issues that delayed completion: vanity delivery delayed twice, wrong size of the glass shower door (so it had to be returned and another ordered), special color toilet order delayed and then arrived broken. In addition, because of these delays, the main workman had to leave, and other jobs filled the contractor's time. But Mr. Quiroga remained very responsive and made every effort to get his people to my home when replacement parts arrived.
Other issues: 1) The stones in the shower floor did not work, and Mr. Quiroga agreed to replace them with a tile I chose. 2) The wooden floor got some stains on it from some ink on the paper cover the floor, but the contractor was able to remove the stains beautifully. Things can go wrong in any renovation, but what's important is the attitude and service of the contractor, and Mr. Quiroga is top notch in this area.
Mr. Quiroga always acted to create results that would please me. His workmen seemed experienced and overall did careful work. My bathrooms are outstanding, with quality at a fair price. I receive many compliments on these beautiful bathrooms. Every time I use them, I feel as if I am on vacation at some special hotel or spa.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps prevent buildup and maintains clarity.

Yes, many professionals provide custom-cut glass replacements for enclosures that require precise sizing.

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.
