"Glass Impressions did a wonderful job of cleaning all 19 windows in our home, inside & out, including the inside sills, screens and also 2 glass storm doors. Mr. Waters and his team are very good at what they do. They were very reasonable. I plan to use them again, as needed."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"Glass Doctor was recommended by our remodel contractor.  They came and did on site measurements. The rep recommended a door and allowed us to specify the height we wanted.  Door took about three weeks to come in.  They installed it and did a very professional job.
The office staff, particularly Amber, communicate very well. They are always available to answer questions.
The quality of the product and the installation is outstanding. We couldn't have asked for nicer.  It wasn't the cheapest way to go.  But we opted for spending the money as it was a remodel of the bathroom and we wanted it to be top quality.  They may have more budget priced options, we just liked what they recommended.
We would certainly use them again.

The glass in our aluminum framed sliding glass doors had become cloudy with moisture and mildew between the panes of glass.  I got one estimate to replace the entire sliding door units for approx. $1,500 each (or a total of $4.500).  Ouch!  Granted, you can purchase these units for $300-500 each from a home improvement center and install them yourself, but that was not an option for us.

So, I called Binswanger.  It was great!  They came out, measured and gave us a price of $1400 to replace 5 panels (they had replaced 1 of the panels several years ago, hence we only needed 5).  We felt the price was good.   The installed returned on the scheduled day, removed the old glass, installed the new, cleaned up and took away the old glass in a matter of just a few hours.  The job was done professionally; you would never know that it wasn't the original glass.

We're very pleased with the overall job and would never hesitate to call them again for any repair or replacement job.  They know their stuff!

"I found Hipp Masonry online from these Angie's list reviews and gave him call. Chuck quickly gave me a call back told me he would come out as soon as possible. Although he seemed extremely busy, Chuck still took the time to come out to the house on a Friday night around 6PM to take a look at the house. After looking at the crack he was very honest in telling me how to fix the crack (approx 5ft) myself to keep rain water from running into the walls. He also offered to do it himself and gave me a great assessment of exactly what was happening with the wall. He also didn't charge me anything for the assessment. It's not very often you find a business man willing to come out on a Friday night and then be completely honest in helping you save money. He was very professional and very knowledgeable. When the time comes where I do need extensive masonry , I'll be calling Hipp Masonry back.

"Made an appt. with Castle Rep, James, for 17 windows and vinyl siding. He spent 1 hour talking about how great his company and windows are before finally getting down to the issue. We were told that CASTLE makes and services their own window, with all the best technology and technicians available. The price per window for energy efficient came out to over $1,200 per double-hung window! And since they make their own products, we could not find a way to compare quality and price with other manufacturers. But his per-window price exceeds the average price of $500-700 by A LOT! When we balked, he made a call to his "manager" to see if we qualified for a "special promotional" discount. If we were to commit right there on the spot, we would get an additional 10% off! Still way to high. We said we would think about it (he got sad and snippy), and that we wanted to hear about the vinyl siding quote before we made any decisions. He told us he could not give us a siding quote until his company did an "eagle view" measurement, which would require another appointment! We had no intention of sitting through ANOTHER high-pressure appointment. High pressure, long-drawn out presentation and he would not leave us with anything in writing! No brochures, prices, nothing! He refused to put anything in writing and we could not have a break down of labor and costs. I even asked him if I could have a copyhh of the window warranty and he said "only if you purchase right now." And they did not come prepared with references or previous job locations! When we further researched the company, we found they did make very excellent products, but the #1 complaint was by far that they did not honor their lifetime warranty and that customer service was horrible. In the end, we chose not to do business.."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Glass block mortar is the best choice for glass block window units. It is specifically formulated for glass block window installation. Glass block mortar is usually a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and special chemicals. It is a white mortar that is applicable inside and outside your home. Do not use regular tile mortar because it may not have the binding strength and flexibility required for glass block windows.

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.

Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.

Options include tempered, laminated, and tinted glass for various needs.

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.
