"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

Hello, I've noticed how difficult and frustrating it can be to hire someone to do a project, only to have them not follow it through to completion, or to just not show up at all, or to pass the blame of their mistakes to someone else. I started Wirth & Son Property Services because of all the incompetence and poor communication I've seen with service providers. I'll show up, do what I say I'm going to do, and keep communicating with you. Over the last several decades, I've completed a wide variety of home improvement projects, from footing to ridge, and everything in between. Whether you need something as small as a picture hung to something more complex, like a custom, site-built shed, I'll show up, competently complete the project, and communicate along the way. \n\nSome of the things I have experience in include: wasp removal, custom shed & chicken coops, curtain rod hanging, deck/porch repair, gutter cleaning, siding repair, drywall repair, assembly, fench repair, dryer vent cleaning

"Vin's Team is very organized and hard-working. I wanted to have regular deck maintenance and hired Vin's Construction. They came with enough crew members to complete the project in 1 day. They did the maintenance, fixed the broken parts, painted the whole deck, and left the place clean. I'm satisfied with their work. I'd recommend Vin's Construction."

"Very polite and friendly. Reached out to us and completed our windows within 3 days. Was very courteous about putting down a drop cloth to protect our carpet and floors while going in and out of our home. We are very pleased with our new glass block windows in our basement and how neat and clean it was when he left. Great quality and price! Thank you!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Successful glass block service requires materials built for extreme climates. Use Type S mortar, which offers superior strength and water resistance against freeze-thaw cycles. Install expansion strips at panel perimeters to prevent thermal movement damage. Apply neutral-cure silicone sealants rated for severe temperature swings. Choose systems with built-in weep holes to manage snowmelt. Finally, incorporate horizontal panel reinforcement to withstand wind loads and heavy snow accumulation in NY.

Helpful?

Hidden expenses during glass block service in Buffalo stem from repairing deteriorated brick or stone surrounds in older homes. Expect additional fees if local professionals discover failed perimeter waterproofing or drainage tiles that require immediate repair. Certified lead or asbestos abatement is mandatory for many pre-1978 homes. Anticipate extra expenses for historic district compliance, local building permits, and emergency winter repairs that require heated enclosures.

Helpful?

To maintain your glass block service projects in Buffalo, keep freeze-thaw-rated mortar patching material on hand. Standard mortar fails prematurely in this climate without proper additives. Add a silicone or urethane caulk rated for extreme temperatures from -20°F to 120°F. You also need efflorescence remover to tackle mineral salt deposits caused by lake-effect snow. Finally, keep drainage inspection tools nearby to ensure basement window weep holes remain clear.

Helpful?

The longevity of glass block service in Buffalo depends heavily on proper mortar joint preparation to withstand freeze-thaw cycles. Installing panels into fully repaired, stable masonry openings prevents early failure. Ensure installers integrate functional interior and exterior drainage systems to manage heavy snowmelt. Hire a licensed contractor experienced with older brick construction, and complete the work between April and October to allow the mortar adequate curing time.

Helpful?

The extreme weather in NY heavily impacts glass block service. Heavy lake-effect snow and repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause standard mortar joints to crack rapidly. High summer humidity creates condensation inside hollow blocks, while wind-driven precipitation increases lateral pressure on above-grade panels. Because cold temperatures prevent proper mortar curing, schedule your glass block installation or repair between April and October to ensure a durable, long-lasting result.
