"I am delighted with how things turned out.  The work on the tub itself was superb, it literally looks brand new. The new shower door is great too.  Bob worked with me to make sure that all of the little details were done right, and I was very happy to do business with him.  He was patient and easy to work with.  Highly recommended!

"We contracted in April 2015.  Due to frequent rains, it was impractical to perform the tasks at that time.  Finally, in July a spate of 'dry' weather afforded him the opportunity to perform these tasks.  He was fast, efficient, and if other knowledgeable contractors are an indication; compliments were for the excellence of his work!  We had a number of others working on our house at the time, many commenting on the tuck pointing.

"I highly recommend Al's Handyman Service. Al and his crew did a great job, they began work promptly, they stayed on schedule (even though the weather was not cooperating) and their prices are good. Al impressed me right away with his smart ideas for the improvements to my home. He is an excellent handyman. A+.

"The good: Based on how friendly and knowledgeable Brian was, we hired Andre Tuckpointing and Brickwork in 2018 to spot-point some problem areas, grind out and tuckpoint the windowsills and chimney, which were all successful. The bad: Brian's team was not as experienced as he is, and the work other than that listed above has not held up. We had to call them to come back multiple times since they almost left our home without spot-pointing a substantial crack, as well as other issues (read on). Moreover, while it was easy to communicate with the office, the follow-through was poor. Particularly, I would not recommend them for: any of the other work we paid for (spot pointing of the steps and porch, and caulking/tuckpointing the foundation). Off the bat, they told us the foundation work was a gamble, so I should have understood that as "this will not work" instead of being optimistic and paying for it. Some of this work has not held up over time (i.e. not even 2 years), while the work on the steps harmed their integrity, resulting in the need for a new handrail and redoing the bottom step. After pestering the office and Brian for a number of months and buying a new railing, Brian came out, but the work on the bottom step was inferior and is already crumbling (he told us he would only come out once to address this issue). He did not charge us to come out to work on the steps after the initial issues, but now we have to hire someone else to fix the poor work that was done. While I would like to have confidence that they would come out and repair their work, I do not expect that would happen since Brian specifically stated that he would not. Overall: If you are looking to have your brickwork tuckpointed, and don't mind it being a little sloppy, hire them. If you are looking to have your steps, porch, or foundation tuckpointed or repaired, do not hire them."

Nikki arrived right on time and was very polite and courteous. She provided all of her own cleaning supplies including vacuum cleaner and she asked questions to better understand what it was that we were needing from her services. In a little less than 3 hours, she had performed a thorough cleaning of our entire home, including all 3 floors (upstairs, TV room downstairs and the main level). Her attention to detail is exquisite! Our kitchen sink is still shining to this day! We accidently left our toaster on the counter and I think it had honestly been cleaned once the entire time we've had it, but to our surprise Nikki had it looking brand new. We did not expect her to clean our toaster at all, so we were just shocked to see it like that when we came into the kitchen. She wiped all of our baseboards and vacuumed every step (just some of my favorite details of which she went above and beyond), not to mention cleaning between the oven glass and even the laundry room! It was wonderful! 

Originally, we were only looking for a one time clean before the holidays but Nikki did such an extraordinary job that we have hired her full time for a bi-weekly, full-service clean of our home. She is that good and we highly recommend her services!

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.

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 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.

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

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.
