"Ivan did a variety of projects for me, all of which turned out great. He and his crew were reliable and paid a lot of attention to detail and clean up, and the final result was excellent. Price was reasonable and I wasn't even charged for one repair that turned out much simpler than originally thought. They completed my projects in just a few days. I would highly recommend this company and will definitely call Ivan again."

"It was great from start to finish.  I called Monday afternoon and was connected to a voice message.  Gregg, the owner/installer called back within 15 minutes.  We discussed repair or replace and contacting the insurance company.  Gregg gave me the direct number for the insurance company's windshield repair specialists.  Gregg then scheduled the work for the next morning.  He arrived at the appointed time and quickly replaced the damaged windshield.

"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.

"They completed work on the schedule agreed to and did an excellent job. Finding a company with good experience with installing glass tiles was difficult, but I was glad I choose to have someone who was experienced with glass tiles do the work. By purchasing the grout and doing the sealing myself, I was able to get the original bid reduced."

"Patera's was great.  They responded to the purchase of the Angie's List Coupon quickly. The appointment was scheduled in a very reasonable amount of time (which I know can be tricky with the volume of coupons that get purchased). Cleaners called when they were on the way and were punctual with the scheduled appointment window.  They were efficient, personable and did a nice job in the house.  We were very satisfied with Patera's!

"We were very pleased with the outcome of our tile. We purchased very expensive glass tile and were very picky about who we choose to install it. Paul and his crew did a great job at a really great price and we couldn't be happier!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair

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.

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.
