"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."

"We needed a repair of a leaded glass side light. Terraza was very efficient and professional and quick to give us an estimate. They removed the panel, and returned the very next Saturday with a perfect repair which they installed. We met Donna and her husband who did a terrific job. I hope our dog Jeff who made this repair necessary when he tried to attack the mailman from inside the house never does this again. If he does we will get to see Donna and husband again and Jeffs milk bone treats will be reduced."

"John and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. John makes sure everything is discussed before starting the project and creating the contract. He goes shopping with you to ensure best options are selected. His team is very professional, clean up after themselves so you never knew they were there. John is very responsive and open to any issues or questions that may arise and is very cost conscious and economical for any issues that may be discovered throughout the process. Highly recommend John and his team"

"They were fantastic.  They listen & were careful w/ my elderly disabled father's apt., and when there were problems, they coped without complaining.  They had to deal with a completely different installation, a shock to us because it was the same bldg. Different wall materials, layout, etc.  They helped us find solutions even apologized when they could not find a way in one room but had several suggestions for needed materials. They will get the job when I am ready to fix that room.

"It went very well. It was a pleasure working with Aziz and his team. There was a delay from my side in choosing the flooring. He gladly suspended the project and restarted as soon as I got my side done. Although his pricing was slightly higher than others I had taken quotation from, I chose Aziz as I felt he was more in control of his projects and most importantly he talks less and gets more things done :-)
I will definitely work with him in future. As a matter of fact, he already has another project to be done for me. Reviews coming for that ...

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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. 

DIY is possible for small projects, but professional installation ensures proper sealing, structural integrity, and a precise finish.

Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.

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

Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.
