"The co was very professional and punctual but their pricing was crazy expensive. I took their quote and sent it to another vendor who came back at half the price before I even tried to haggle. I'm sorry but 2,000 for a stock shower door installed is ridiculous. If you didn't want the job then please don't waste my time and just say so."
"I hired them to install the glass shower door in my bathroom and I’m really happy with the result. Communication was clear from the start, they showed up on time, and the installation was done perfectly. The team was professional, clean, and efficient. The final result looks great. Highly recommend!"

"My Wife & I hired HS Glass LLC to put on a door for our inlaw apartment and they did an outstanding job! Ryan the owner custom fit the door in our 1700's home perfectly! It was really tough to find the right door to fit our antique home right and HS Glass LLC found us the perfect door to fit the style of our home. We would recommend their work to anyone and will definitely be hiring them back again to do more work for us."
"I brought my 2009 Toyota Camry to Tint King. They tinted all four doors and the back window. I chose their better quality product as I plan to have this car along time. The job took about and hour and a half. I waited onsite. It looks great. Real nice job. However the inside of my trunk was soaking wet after the job. Not sure how that happened but I wish they would have cleaned up after themselves. I kinda wish that I had chosen a darker tint for the back doors and window but it is hard to tell how it is going to look until its done. I am happy with the job. It has been 3 months and no problems. The car looks great. If you go there they are around the back of the building at a garage bay not in the office part of the building. "
"Victor did take off the ugly Plexiglas and install a nice thick new window. For that part of the job I give him an A. The rest was unsatisfactory. He had to fill about a dozen screw holes where the Plexiglas had been attached. Many of the holes are still there - he didn't use enough filler to allow for it to shrink when it dries. He also smeared filler all around the window, instead of just where the holes were, and said I could just wipe it off when it dried. It doesn't wipe off - I'll have to scrub it, then sand and restain the whole area instead of just the holes. It turned out he didn't have any weatherstripping with him, so I'll have to do that myself or hire someone else. He arrived a little late, took measurements, then left for "a couple of hours," presumably to get supplies, but he was gone for a long time and I had to revise my plans for the afternoon. He also left a mess on the floor. Nice guy, but disorganized and maybe not as skilled as he should be."
"Andrea is a true craftswoman! She meticuouslly restores the grout by hand, beginning with the cleaning through all steps to a final sealed finish. During the process, she explains what is being done and educates you regarding the process. Her expert work is done with a reasonable price and concern about the cost to you. Great results!"
"I was amazed. We had 10 new windows replaced, and after working a 10 hour day, I was dreading going home & cleaning for the next 10 hours. But when I walked inside my home you didn't even know they were there. everything was placed back to where it belonged, there was no mess to vacuum. There also was no mess outside, my garden was not even touched. The only thing I had to do was wash the windows and hang the curtains. They were very nice & polite, professional men who installed the windows. The windows themselves are 100% perfect. We could not be happier and could kick ourselves for not doing it sooner. They gave us a date in July for Installation. They arrived in May."
"Yes the work was done. The two guys that came put in 7 windows and two big bay windows in one day. They did not even taken a break. They cleaned up the small pieces of scrap. Then one week later they came back and put in two new doors with the same professionalism when they did my doors."
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.
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.
Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps prevent buildup and maintains clarity.
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.
Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.
