"I am very pleased with my new floors. I bought my wood and baseboards separately and solicited several bids for installation and removal of the existing carpet. Mike's estimate was by FAR the most reasonable. We were in contact several times through Angie's list and he came out and said the initial quote he gave me was good (extra supplies and dumping the carpet etc. was extra as costs incurred).
Once we were able to coordinate schedules (my schedule was nuts and it this was a big job so he needed to block off a week for his crew). Ernesto and Gabriel showed up on time and after going over the details I let them get to work (I moved out of my place for the week). I checked in a couple of times to see the progress and the speed at which they got things done was remarkable. By Tuesday, the carpet was all gone and part of the floor was installed!
Mike contacted me by phone on Wednesday and said everything would be done by Friday at 4:00 p.m. (our originally agreed upon time). When I finally came home, not only did they do a nice job with the floors, but they did a nice job cleaning up. There wasn't nearly as much dust as I expected and they put the furniture back in the right spots.
After my initial inspection, I noticed a couple of things that needed to be finished and went over them with Mike during his walk through the following day (there were some job debris left over and a couple spots that needed painting/patching. Nothing serious, but Mike agreed to fix everything for no charge. We scheduled a time for a worker to come out and I even added a couple of other jobs at a discounted price (some additional drywall work and window caulking). My only disappointment is that I have to wait an extra week for the final repairs. This is mostly my fault for adding on extra jobs that will require a whole day at my house, otherwise they'd been done already.
Since I've hired Mike's crew again, you know I like them and I will use them in the future. The prices are excellent and his crew is very professional.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.

Yes, professionals can install decorative or colored glass block patterns for a unique look.

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.
