"We had cracks in the dyed mortar of the bricks above our garage. Grady took the time to match the color, even with the color having aged 10 years, and you would not even be able to tell that there was new mortar. If your project is anything like ours, you will not be disappointed."

"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."

"I could not manipulate the 90 degree turn around my staircase in order to move my queen size mattress into my upstairs bedroom. Every contractor told me that the baseboard would have to be split down the middle, then folded in half which would weaken the support when nailed back together. However, the Danco handyman removed the staircase railing and easily transported the mattress intact. No disassembly required. The railing was replaced without difficulty. The cost was under $70. He was honest, skilled, fast, careful and trustworthy. Job well done. I would hire him for future home projects."

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 walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.

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 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.
