We are a General Contractor for residential projects. We have always been family owned and operated. We expect the best work from all of our team. Your project isn't done until you are happy.
"If you decide to work with this company, make sure to get a VERY detailed quote. After having many discussions about shower glass, they told me that it would be reasonable to use a shower curtain in a 19,000 dollar bathroom. So they wanted to charge me 2,700 more for a 4ft by 4ft shower. Then, they said they would need an additional 900 dollars to tile the walls even though the contract said all tile was included. We asked them to replace a 1 ft by 4 ft glass block window and they quoted us 1,100 dollars plus materials. When I confronted them they said it was a typo. Then they quoted me 750 for it. I had it replaced by a trustworthy professional for 400 dollars including materials by a company who wasn’t trying to scam me. When I told them I was going to have my own person do it because I didn’t want to pay their, price the threatened to charge me if there were any delays for his project. When I told them I wouldn’t pay their ridiculous prices, they breached their contract and left my basement full of holes. You should avoid this company if you want to work with someone you can trust. My opinion is that this company is in it to scam people, and that is how they make their ends meet."

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 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.
