"As usual, Gregg was right on it.  Someone smashed the passenger side door of my vehicle on 4th of July weekend.  I called Gregg on Sunday night to see when he could help me.
Gregg called me right away Monday morning and took care of the window by mid-day on Monday.
He is fast, dependable, bills my insurance, great guy
He made a bad experience a little less painful.

"It's a local business and that was one of the reasons I like them. They're always very friendly, and get out when I need them. I've had them do a wide variety of work for me; starting with windows, then roof work, they added onto my shed and they will be doing my countertops soon. I was very happy in the way he was able to accommodate with installing a window or two at a time. It helped me to not have to take out a loan and pay for the work as I was able. They always get the work done well and have always immediately corrected any minor issues that have cropped up. I have recommended them to family, we've all been satisfied with them every time."

"From the first contact to the last, dealing with GCM was fantastic!  I put a job up for bid with four contractors that I found on Angie's List, and they were very prompt in contacting me - not quick enough to show they didn't have enough to do but not so long that it appeared they had too much on their plate.
I set up an appointment to meet with Ben Meints to come out and look at what (I thought) needed to be fixed.  He arrived promptly and was professional and personable throughout the entire appointment.  We covered my initial concerns, and then proceeded to look at each area of repair.  One of the big problems was potential interior water damage due to several leaks in a pair of windows and the basement area almost directly below the window.  After having dealt with many contractors over the years, the level of attention to detail in his examination of the problem areas showed through.  He was able to get to the true source of the problems by asking questions about what I was seeing, as well as looking at other factors and really just keeping his eyes open.  Best example of this was when talking about the back deck, he started asking about the materials, any water issues around the sliding door and the basement area below it.  What I thought was an issue with pest damage (the subfloor between the main floor and basement had been chewed through by mice) turned out really to be an issue with the flashing and j-channel between the deck and the house.  Long story short, Ben was able to determine that the repairs that were truly needed were not as extensive as I thought they would be, and based his recommendations on what was needed to repair the damage and stop further damage to those affected areas.  I was initially thinking in terms of tens of thousands of dollars to repair the damage, and was relieved and pleasantly surprised when the estimate came in at a fraction of that.
When the work was to begin, Ben and the crew (Zach and Tom) showed up promptly.  (They actually showed up earlier than I thought they would, which was a pleasant surprise.)  The repairs went off without a hitch, and their pride in their work showed through.  They were also respectful of the fact that my wife was working from home that day, and made sure they had minimal impact on her work.  While all of the work couldn't be completed in one day, they got more done than I thought they would, and it was done well.  They updated my wife on the progress before they began to clean up and prepare to leave, as I was still at work.  I walked in just as they finished updating my wife on the progress, and they still took the time to go over the repairs with me and show me what had been completed and the remaining work to be done.  When it became apparent that the weather would not allow them to complete the repairs the next day, Zach let me know he would return the next day the weather wouldn't interfere.  He and Tom returned the following day, and the repairs were completed as promised.
In all honesty, I contacted GCM because the general contractor I normally used was unavailable, and I needed the repairs done before the damage got worse and winter set in.  After working with GCM, I think I have found a new first option for general contractors.  They take very good care of their customers from start to finish, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Glass Block Windows questions, answered by experts

You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.

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.

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.

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.
