"Life just got simpler. There is NO REASON to call anyone else other than Gregg Wickland for glass work, especially auto glass replacement. He quickly gives you a quote - and sticks to it. Very easy to schedule, and was extremely prompt. The vehicle I wanted to have Gregg work was in my driveway, and when he came to the front door, I thought he was just going to let me know that he had arrived. To my amazement, the new windshield was all ready installed! For price and professionalism, Gregg just can't be beat. This guy is a real PRO!!!!!

"Called to make an appointment to get an estimate of the work and they were friendly on the phone and in person. We were willing to get Doug to come out within a few days and schedule the work within a week. Very happy with how fast and professional the workers were in getting the huge mirrors off the walls and out of the house. We plan to use them again when remodeling our master bath and putting in a glass shower door.

"The women on the phone were helpful and made an appointment for my at the nearby Roseville location although I think I called the number for the Saint Paul location. I chose to bring our car in instead of having them come out. The location was a little hard to find, but once there, the work was performed in the time-frame I was told at the price I was quoted. The staff seemed a little focused on insurance, and a bit confused by my lack of it in the case, but it was fine. All-in-all the work is fine and the were able to do it quickly and cheaply so I'm satisfied."

"The installers where fabulous! They did a great job. No damage to the walls and they put booties on their shoe EVERY time the came in the house. The A for Professionalism and Punctuality go to the installers. I am very happy with the quality of the windows and love with the end result! For that they get an overall A!
The company itself service was good, but I would have preferred a bit more hand holding when spending that much money. No follow up calls from our Sales Rep. Never hear anyone from the sales team after we signed the contract.

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

Energy efficient
Sealed to prevent drafts
Aesthetically pleasing
Strong and secure
Cons
Costly to install
Challenging installation
Challenging repair
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.
The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:
Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block
Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block
Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block
Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block
Typically, glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, slightly less than regular windows, which last 20 to 50 years. Resealing glass blocks can help extend the lifespan of this bathroom feature. The key to ensuring that glass block windows last as long as possible is to have a professional glass block installer place them. Glass block pros will have the skills, tools, and knowledge required to install these special features into any space, noting obstacles like damaged windows or too-cramped areas during the consultation.
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.
