"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."

"I had a couple of estimatesf rom several sources and Eddie was on the lower end but I thought all were rather high for the small scope of work. Eddie seemed honest and assured me that he did amazing work and that I would be very satisfied. After negotiations with him he quoted me $2500 for the complete job. We agreed and he sent me an email as a contract. Anything that he handed to me was hand written.  I am fine with this as i'd rather have him working than in the office doing paperwork.  
  Eddie started with the retaining wall, which was originally constructed with decorative block. Eddie asked if he could use regular cinder blocks as the decorative ones were more expensive. I told him I wanted the decorative as it is seen on a regular basis. He requested to use some of the old blocks where is was below grade and I agreed. I was also having him pour a cement pad outside a back door.  He orginally staked it out differently than we discussed. It was corrected and it came out fine. WHen he was done there he was going to leave it to me to back fill the required dirt but did it with no problem when I asked him to. 
 Move on to the pillars... We agreed to have 22" block and the cultured stone added to that. Also since the lighting needed to be installed I purchased the needed conduit for the cement to be poured around.  Something happened during the pour and the conduit got filled with cement. He did redo it and I think it will be OK.  Eddie then decided to use 20" chimney block as he thought it would be sturdier. I was out of town when it went up and the block was thinner than we agreed.  Eddie also found out at this point that the cultured stone we agreed to is pretty expensive and he needed another $500.  I knew the price of this and was expecting this as his price was way too low for the job.  It was still a good deal with the extra $500 so I agreed.   The stone is the same that is on my house but was ot installed as nicely but still looks good.  Overall a decent job for a fair price.  I got exactly what I paid for. I would hire Eddie again for Block work or a patio but not the creative piece.

Glass Block FAQs, answered by experts

You must address active water leaks, broken panels, or cracked mortar immediately. NY experiences severe freeze-thaw cycles that will rapidly expand existing cracks and worsen structural damage over the winter. If you only notice cosmetic discoloration or want an aesthetic upgrade, postpone your glass block service until the warmer months. Always schedule exterior mortar work before late fall to ensure proper curing conditions.

Helpful?

Upgrading your basement windows significantly improves your home insulation during brutal Syracuse winters. Proper glass block service stops cold air drafts and wind-driven snow from entering your lower levels. These installations also block moisture infiltration, preventing dampness and mold growth throughout the year. Furthermore, glass blocks provide excellent security and privacy while allowing diffused natural light into your basement on cloudy days.

Helpful?

Yes, updating your basement windows strongly appeals to buyers in the New York real estate market. Older homes frequently suffer from basement moisture issues, and fresh glass block service proves you proactively manage water intrusion. A solid installation eliminates common home inspection red flags like failed mortar or water damage. This practical upgrade boosts buyer confidence and strengthens offers by showcasing a well-maintained property.

Helpful?

Start by checking local permit requirements and historic district restrictions for your Syracuse property. Hire a registered professional to inspect your existing masonry for water damage or structural weakness before beginning any glass block service. Schedule your installation between May and October to ensure the mortar cures correctly. Always complete any planned basement waterproofing or drainage improvements before installing new windows to prevent complications.

Helpful?

Watch out for quotes from unregistered contractors or those lacking liability insurance. In Syracuse, a professional must address heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles by using flexible mortar and silicone expansion joints. Avoid contractors who schedule winter installations without accounting for cold curing temperatures. Additionally, a trustworthy pro will assess your existing limestone or brick foundation for damage before starting any glass block service.
