"The job went very well. The company was easy to work with and professional. The crew worked hard, did a great job, and cleaned up after. I am very satisfied with the results."
This job involved new construction for both doors so I wanted the installer to arrive earlier than 10:00. I talked to several individuals at the company but could not get any help on this issue. I even asked to speak with the owner but the said he was out of town. The excuse was that the installer had to go to the warehouse to get the doors before going to a customers house. Not a good reason to me. Every major thing I've done to my home the installers had to pick up the materials before coming to my house and they were at 8:00. The installer arrived on time and had every thing he needed to do the job. The front door was installed in about 3/12 hours with out damage to my walls or molding. He cleaned up very well around the inside and outside of the house. The side door was installed in about the same amount of time. There was some damage to the drywall around the door on the inside of the house and the installer did not caulk around the molding like he did the front door.
When I called the company about it they gave me a hard time about sending someone out to patch the holes because I signed the paper work. The second person I talked to said someone was coming out the next day but instead I got a phone call saying I should not have signed the paper work. I explained to her that I understood that but the holes were put there by the installer and they should repair them. I told her I had pictures so she had me email them to her. When no one called me back I called them again they were still trying not to send some one out. When I told Roz that the money for the doors was being provided by a grant and I was not going to approve final payment until the holes were fixed she arranged for someone to come out the next day. It took the guy 15min to patch the holes and caulk around the door.
I asked for the owner to give me a call because I wanted to talk to about their customer service but have yet to hear from him. "

"I needed 100 foot of Rockwall reset and restored, using the original rocks and maintaining its unique style and appearance. Bill did this enormous task in less than favorable weather conditions, and in his own unique style. His work ethic is impeccable, and his attention to detail was exactly what was needed to do this project successfully. If I could gives six stars, I would."
"Fantastic! Walter (owner) is very professional and skilled in his trade. He showed up as promised and put in a hard days work everyday. His crew was also great! The concrete patio, shed pad and sidewalks look great, actually turned out better than I could have imagined. I would hire Walter again and again. This actually isn't my first experience working with WC Masonry. I originally hired them to cut out and replace some broken brick on my ranch home. Again their work was exceptional."

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.
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 aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.
DIY is possible for small projects, but professional installation ensures proper sealing, structural integrity, and a precise finish.
