8 1/2 inches by 15 inches in size. Apparently, labor charges are higher when they work on a high floor level. Not sure why that made a difference as I don't think the young man stepped out on the widow ledge when the installation was being done. In the end, however, I was pleased with the work, and as I mentioned, both young men were very easy to deal with and very polite. I would use this company again, however I know next time to ask more questions during the appointment booking.

Never again. A broken, tempered glass tabletop was cut to the wrong size twice, over a period of almost 2 months. Yesterday I returned the table and the glass top, telling them it was the wrong size, again, and they needed to re-do it. I was told by the woman that they could certainly do it, but I would have to pay for it! I said, " No, that won't be necessary, thank you. And I will never do business with you again." Bobbitt Glass does not stand behind their work, and their customer service is terrible. Use them at your peril.*********As to Bobbit's response: hogwash. The tabletop does not fit and never did. Regardless of whose fault it was that the glass does not fit, whether it was an outside source or in-house, it was specified, twice, how it was to fit and they failed to provide. Still an overall, lasting grade of "FAIL"."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/houston/bobbitt-glass-co-reviews-4198595.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"FREEBIRD GLASS, INC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lee G."},"reviewBody":"Every time my kids or their friends would accidentally break one of the patterned glass panes to either side of my front door, I would always call FreeBird Glass.

went well. I had the glass already as it was under warranty and just needed them to install. Showed up during the specified time and called 30 minutes ahead as promised to let me know someone was on the way.

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...

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...

Glass Block questions, answered by experts
Glass block windows aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.
If an individual block breaks, you can remove and replace it. This is a job for which you should contact a professional because the project is usually complex, involving you having to break the block further.
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.
DIY is possible for small projects, but professional installation ensures proper sealing, structural integrity, and a precise finish.
Glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, which is the same amount of time, if not slightly less, than standard windows. Standard windows last 20 to 50 years. You can extend the life of your glass block windows by resealing them every few years. Hiring a pro for installation is also key to windows that will function properly for years to come.
