About us

It began with the mission of providing easily installed, fully-assembled glass block windows to the Western Pennsylvania market. As the industry grew and changed RGF moved with it, we now have 5 full service locations; Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Dayton, Buffalo and Rochester, serving the Midwest and the Northeast since 1965. We began with manufacturing glass block basement windows, and then developed fresh-air vinyl vents specifically designed for glass block windows. We now produce fully-assembled partition walls; glass block shower kits that include specially designed bases, and our new nail in place CrystaLok® vinyl framed glass block window for new construction applications. We also distribute individual glass blocks from the finest manufacturers worldwide, along with a range of installation products to make any project easy for the contractor or do-it-yourselfer.

My mother, who is not computer savvy, wanted me to write a review. She could have not been more happy with the job! She was amazed with the tech, Austin, and the speed and quality of his work. He was very professional and friendly. As her son, I am constantly looking out for her wellbeing. I want to thank Austin for making my mother feel at ease. Unfortunately we live is a world surrounded by opportunists, it's great to find a company and an employee that do quality work at a reasonable price when they as they will! Thanks so much Kathy in Ransomville, NY

I contacted Buffalo glass block online. They responded right away and came out to do measurements. Due to Covid, they were a little behind on a few jobs. They eventually did get to me a few months later. Eric the installer. He was very professional, he was on time, and wore his mask. I had 5 windows installed. Eric was fast he got it done in less than 6 hours. I will definitely be being them back for more jobs. I would definitely recommend having Eric to do the job.

In September we called to get a quote. A representative came out right away and gave us a quote including a Veteran's discount. Due to the many orders they had we were told they would not be able to get to us until January of 2021 but they could put us on a list to call if they had a cancellation. As luck would have it, they called us last week (early December) and said they could install them within the week. Our installer was Joe. He came on time the morning of the appointment. We had 6 basement windows installed which took approximately 5 hours. Joe was very professional and did a very good job. He hauled away the old windows and any trash from the project. We were very satisfied and would definitely recommend this company.
Description of Work: We wanted to replace the original old windows in our basement.

Chris arrived at the scheduled time. He was prepared to start when he arrived. He was very polite and professional. The work was outstanding, the windows are beautiful. Chris made sure the job site was as clean as it was prior to starting. He removed all the trash. Everything I needed to know regarding the windows was discussed prior to final payment being issued. I would highly recommend Chris and Buffalo Glass Block!!

It went very, very well! Everyone was very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend them! Great crew that did my installation back in August! Special thank-you to Dylan and the other installer, the estimator/field service representative and office staff! It was a job involving large windows. Highly recommend you to my friends and family. Thank-you.

I'm happy with the windows and that's the main thing but once the weather gets warmer I'd like someone to take a second look because the finish doesn't look as smooth as I thought it should be with the cementing.

The installed was on-time and very quick with the work. Everything turned out great. The installer cleaned up his mess and the area very well, to the point you couldn't tell there was an install that day. Along with that, all debris was removed from the previous install which was nice to not have to deal with. They ask that you don't touch the windows for at least 24 hours, we gave it 48 just so everything could set without any issue and they are still perfect to this day. Great work and highly recommended.
Description of Work: Installed two standard basement glass block windows with two vents. One of the windows also had a dryer vent installed in it along with the regular vent.

Bought through Big Deal. Estimator came out to inspect windows and we requested to have vents in, as deal was for glass block only. Cost and extra $15.00 per window. Worker came out when promised and installed windows. Did mess up drywall around windows. Stated he tried not to, but in order to get windows in, had no choice. Windows look nice, but am going to have to get drywall repaired.

Buffalo Glass Block came out to give us an estimate for 8 glass block basement windows in our home. They were very courteous and professional. We ended up going with a company who have us more vented windows for the same price. But had we not received the second estimate we would have utilized Buffalo Glass Block.
