About us

Pittsburgh Glass Block Company is part of the RGF Industries family of companies; we started growing in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania more than 40 years ago. It began with the mission of providing easily installed, fully-assembled glass block windows to the Western Pennsylvania market. As the industry grew and changed RGF moved with it, we now have 5 full service locations; Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Dayton, Buffalo and Rochester, serving the Midwest and the Northeast since 1965. We began with manufacturing glass block basement windows, and then developed fresh-air vinyl vents specifically designed for glass block windows. We now produce fully-assembled partition walls; glass block shower kits that include specially designed bases, and our new nail in place CrystaLok® vinyl framed glass block window for new construction applications. We also distribute individual glass blocks from the finest manufacturers worldwide, along with a range of installation products to make any project easy for the contractor or do-it-yourselfer. Our installation departments are capable of handling any application, from the largest commercial installation to residential basement windows. We have installed glass block products for more than 200,000 customers. We believe in producing, distributing and installing high quality products; but our job doesn’t end when the product leaves the factory; we provide the tools and the knowledge necessary to ensure our customer’s success .

Very disappointing experience. Had hired them in the past. Made an appt, where they measured up the windows, got a quote for glass block windows and hired them in July 2018. Was told by Bruce, the sales person that it was approximately 4 weeks for installation and I would be called with the scheduled date. Four weeks passed and no phone call. I called and was told that I have to schedule for measurements, then schedule for installation. Did that - met them for measurements. Then called to schedule installation. It's now September. As of today, they have cancelled the installation dates three times, with "we are understaffed and don't have enough people to do the work." I could have gone to Lowes, Home Depot or other glass block vendors and already had them installed for the same price or less. Run away from this company.
Response from Pittsburgh Glass Block
"We sincerely apologize for your bad experience. We truly do value our customers and have no excuse for the delay in your installation. We have made changes internally to assure that this does not happen again. We hope after finally installing the job for you, that you are happy with your new windows. If there is anything else that we can do to remedy your unpleasant experience, please do not hesitate to give us a call."

They did a good job cementing the glass block in place of the windows. One area they had to remove a piece of wood that opened up a cold air return. We did repair that ourselves, but they didn't tell us. Everything was cleaned up when they finished and we are very pleased.

Everything went very well. After I ordered deal, rep from company called within a day or two to schedule two appts. The first appt to examine window to confirm size, etc and to get estimate for window well piece as mentioned above. After first appt. $10 added because I had wood frame that needed replaced (which was no problem/reasonable and clear that there could be added costs via deal. Estimate for install of new window well was $75. We had them do everything for the additional $85. The office called prior to second appt to confirm we wanted add-on. Worker was prompt and completed work as promised for second appt. They did a nice job. I would recommend them and will use again.

This was professionally handled from beginning to end. A highly experienced employee was sent out to estimate the job. He personally examined each window and explained what would be required and the cost. The windows exceeded the size in the package I had purchased, but the upcharge was modest and reasonable. The work was performed over a two-day period as scheduled. I couldn't be more pleased with the final results and my neighbor plans on having her windows done by the same company after seeing my completed results.

This work was done some time ago, but I remember it went perfect ... from the initial meeting to the finished product. The salesman (Mark) was kind, patient in explanations, and responsive to questions. The installer was no less, did a great job with the windows, and he left my property clean.

They did a good job. There was one thing they should have told us about. We had to make another small repair due to this. They just should have told us.
