"Stay away from HomePros General Contracting, which also does business as HomeStory Doors. I paid in full for 2 sets of closet doors in August and was told the doors would arrive in 6-8 weeks. It has been more than 10 weeks and I don’t have new closet doors. I have called dozens of times and sent several emails but haven’t received a response."

"To summarize, I am very disappointed with my experience. Don't be fooled, during the sales portion about the use of the word "inspection", they didn't run any permits for my renovation and Franik only comes to check work every 2 or 3 days. The communication was great at the beginning of the project and just slowly got worse. Communication always picked up when it was time for a payment. The sales person Alejandro and the project manager Franik don't relay messages to each other which lead to confusion with the work. The subcontractors they use are looking to get in and out and they sacrifice attention to detail for time. It was a rotating door of sub contractors from day to day, if you wanted something done the next day there is a chance it won't be the same crew the next day. I had issues with multiple different crews trying to get rid of debris by stashing it in wall cavities that were opened from demolition. Work had to be redone for multiple small parts of the renovation because the crews never asked for input or Alejandro and Franik didn't explain things properly to them. Consider using someone else, anyone else."

All of your masonry needs quality is first and foremost. I have been in the masonry field for over 15 years. When I was taught the trade my teachers motto was do every job as if it were your own home, and I live by that and take pride in every job I do because I love what I do.

"RUN!!! Do not use this service. This guy broke up my cement to my house, while doing another job, which was poorly done. He is refusing to pay for the cement that was good prior to his arrival. The retaining wall he called himself putting up was done very sloppy. He dies not return calls and consistently keeps lying. After seeing these reviews I see why. Do yourself a favor DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Glass blocks are much thicker than glass panes in traditional windows and serve as better insulators. The overall glass block window is sealed against drafts that allow warm or cool air to escape, saving on energy costs. Since this type of window is sealed airtight into your home, you don’t have to worry about air leaks and drafts as often as traditional windows that open and close. When installing glass block windows, look for options that are Energy Star rated, proving their energy efficiency.

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

You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.

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.

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.
