"My initial call was returned in a timely manner.  Three young men arrived promptly at the scheduled time.  I was given an estimate of the charges for washing my windows inside and out plus the screens.  Very reasonable.  They started work immediately and completed the job in a very professional manner.  I will definitely schedule this company in the future.

"From the salesman to the project manager to the workers, this was professional pleasurable experience. The company's culture was evident as everyone bent over backwards to ensure that the customer experience was optimal. They brought their own portable toilet and were very gentle with plants and bushes. The salesman Steve and foreman Jay communicated through the phases of project and most importantly of all, my house looks better than my neighbors' who used what looked like "two guys and a truck". I called the office and the owner Bob Ruele picked up the phone - hands-on service. I would highly recommend this firm."

"People have actually asked me where I got the slate!  Both the driveway and the backyard look brilliant.  They showed up when they said they would, did the job in a timely manner and were incredibly professional.  From now on whenever I have any jobs in my house that need concrete I will not hesitate to contact them.

"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."

"Like any big job, some things changed as we went along. Andres had some personal appointments that we had to work around. We figured out how we would do the tile work on the fly. I had some supplies on hand...others he had to go out and buy. But he did the job for the price he quoted, and added on a couple of stucco repairs for a small upcharge. I think I could have had this job done for a bit less money, but I can't imagine it would have come out as nice as what he did. He's worth it. Totally pleasant to work with, he put down protective sheets so he never muddied up the floor, and he brought a helper that was good natured and competent. D*** right I'd use him again!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
