"My experience with him was good.  The quote amount was between $2500 and $10000; it was a wide range.  He was honest.  I think he would have done a good job.  My only thing was that he had to hire an electrician and two other guys.  So it was going to be three separate bills.  He was 30 minutes late."

"Andres provided exceptional service. He is the type of contractor that Angie's list seeks to provide. He made several calls to me after I purchased the coupon. I know that small contractors are sometimes overwhelmed by the response from an Angie's list coupon, so I was very impressed with his ability to come to my house so soon.I did not want to take off work so he came on a Saturday . He was right on time and very polite and personable.
 
I will be calling him again for any handyman needs. Thank you for putting me in touch with this quality contractor.

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

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.

Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps prevent buildup and maintains clarity.

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.
