"I called and he was able to come right away and pick up the table.  Promised to have it ready in one week, and true to his word, had it back the following Saturday.  Delivered the table, and reinstalled the medicine cabinet mirror.  I am very pleased with the service and the job.  Would recommend him and would use him again.

"Sergio was very friendly and knowledgeable about bathroom tiles. He meet me at a warehouse to choose an appropriate tile and came back another day install 2 bathrooms over 2 days. The finished product looks good and feels solid. Some of the trim areas (grout lines) near the walls are a little uneven in places. I think the overall price was reasonable, with the exception of the additional charge to come back and seal the grout."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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 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. 

Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on the number of blocks and customization requirements.

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.

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.
