About us

Buffalo Glass Block Company is part of the RGF Industries family of companies; we started growing in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania more than 40 years ago. 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. Our installation departments are capable of handling any application, from the largest commercial installation to residential basement windows. We have installed glass block products for more than 200,000 customers. We believe in producing, distributing and installing high quality products; but our job doesn’t end when the product leaves the factory; we provide the tools and the knowledge necessary to ensure our customer’s success.

Description of Work: I really like how the finished product looks and the price was right but the path to getting there was painful. The salesman who came out to give me a quote was rude - criticizing how may basement looked and breaking some decorative interior trim (that was later fixed during the install); he also seemed annoyed when I gave him an angies list special almost criticizing me for shopping for a good deal because they would make a good profit. The install didn't go well either. I took time off from work for the scheduled afternoon install and had the installation guy show up but say that he didn't have to tools to do the job (he blamed the guy who gave the quote and blamed someone else for having his regular truck). He was accomodating to reschedule the install for a Sunday so I wouldn't have to take time off work but when he showed up then, he arrived with the wrong types of windows and had to make a trip to get what I wanted. Overall, as I said things look great but the professionalism of the install was terrible. I think I'd recommend shopping around for a different vendor.

Description of Work: We got 3 separate quotes for glass block windows with vents for our 9 basement windows. Buffalo Glass Block was the least expensive and our choice for the way they took time during the measuring and quote process to explain what was needed and how much it would cost. The day of installation went well, the guys showed up on time and completed the job in one day and cleaned up all debris. Highly recommend this company.
