Can't say enough good things about Titan Auto Glass. Â After getting a large crack in the windshield of my new car, I called around to a few places to get quotes. Â WOW ... they were all crazy expensive (some over $1000 initially) and most people didn't even have access to the windshield that...
Titan Auto GlassI initially called Mr. Wells to get an estimate and found him to be very informative about glass over the phone. He found out what I was looking for and offered many suggestions. He sent pics through the email and I saw what I was looking for.  We set up a time for him to come out and take...

PRECISION WINDOWSWe contracted Denton Glass to do our shower enclosure. They were very responsive and punctual. The guys came in and did a great job. The end product looks great. We are very happy and will use them again in the future.
I called Mr. Glass at the recommendation of my insurance agent. They responded quickly, performing a quick fix and then returning a few days later for a more comprehensive repair of an improperly sealed window that was leaking.
I called Glass Doctor on a Monday morning after the window above our front door completely across the entire frame. Â They had a rep come out that afternoon to give me an estimate for the window as well as for a piece of glass for a dining table. Â The estimator was friendly and courteous,...

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.
