I called a number of glass companies and Lone Star was the only one that promised they would be out THAT DAY to put in a temporary piece of commercial plastic that would protect our home while permanent glass was being cut. Lone Star recommended that we use "laminated glass" to replace the...
Lone Star GlassAlbeit the replacement cost of a small glass pane (8x15 inches) was high, they were prompt, clean and professional. They added no extra charges for coming on Sunday and were highly responsive/informative regarding the appointment, the work itself, and the scheduling: they provided a one hour...
Responded promptly to initial request. Answered all questions thoroughly. The work was completed on time and I am very satisfied with the quality and the price. The new glass looks great. I will use Cash again for future needs.
This company was only one of two glass companies willing to come out to my Midtown loft on a weekend to replace a small single pane of glass on a street-facing window located on the 4th floor. Other companies I contacted either would not book a weekend appointment or could not be bothered...
We remodelled our bathroom. Of the several providers used in this process, M.I. Glass was the best. First, they patiently came out twice to measure, as my husband and I had not conferred on how high to make the glass walls. When it was time to install, the group before them had created a...
You dont get better service than these folks. They have installed windows and two houses for us and a glass shower door in a third. The owner is responsive, punctual kind and does exactly what he promises. I wish more vendors were like this.
The glass surround looks great. When they first brought it out to install it, it was cut wrong. They left and had to reschedule for 2 days later to come back and install it.
Shower Doors of HoustonWhen I called for an estimate for the windshield replacement, I spoke to Angelo personally. I accepted his estimate of $155.00 to replace the glass at my residence and we set the appointment for the next day. The repairman arrived as promised in a very professional vehicle complete with all...

"I am extremely pleased with the way they showed up early every morning and, except for a couple of rain delays, worked hard all day. With the exception of a few areas that weren't finished off as nicely as the majority of the project, I love the completed work and would certainly considered them for other similar projects."

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
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.
The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:
Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block
Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block
Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block
Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block
Typically, glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, slightly less than regular windows, which last 20 to 50 years. Resealing glass blocks can help extend the lifespan of this bathroom feature. The key to ensuring that glass block windows last as long as possible is to have a professional glass block installer place them. Glass block pros will have the skills, tools, and knowledge required to install these special features into any space, noting obstacles like damaged windows or too-cramped areas during the consultation.
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.
