highly recommend global glass block! I hired a different company originally and they were a no-show after I took the day off of work to wait..after a Google search I found global. I called for an estimate they came out the same day to do the estimate and called me the next day with the price. I agreed and said let’s schedule.. they were booked out over seven weeks and I said that’s fine and waited.. The owner called me on Wednesday to confirm everything for today and then called again this morning to let me know the crew would be out within a half hour.. they showed up on time they put down tarps to keep everything clean and cleaned all of their mess up when they finished they were very friendly and professional.. The windows look amazing and I’m extremely happy from start to finish quoting the job to scheduling to installation and cleanup everything is perfect. Highly recommend this company!

The installation team arrived promptly at 9am to begin work. The installation team had the old window out and surface prepared within a the first half hour. When the second truck arrived with the glass block panels the group installed the window. There was a bit of a challenge with the vertical angle of the wall and one of the panels fell out on to soft dirt while being shimmed into place. These guys are excellent bricklayers, and not only can you not tell where the vertical joints are between the panels, you cannot tell where they had to reset the rows as well. Long story short, they did a terrific job, the window looks like one unit and the side of the garage looks great. The total time for the job, arrival to departure was 2 hours. The installation crew was professional and cleaned up the area leaving nothing behind. The Ice pattern allows for the security and privacy we wanted AND allows a significant amount of daylight into the garage. I will use Global Glass Block on my next glass block project.
Description of Work: Global Glass Block removed a 3 part window from my garage and replaced the window with a 70" x 53 3/4" glass block window in the Ice pattern, to include an exterior aluminum trim crap.

I secured three estimates and selected Global Glass Block. Tony provided the initial estimate and did a great job of explaining the process. Tony was also able to accommodate the time frame that I wanted to have the project completed. They secured the permit from the city prior to starting the job. Mike and Matt were my installers and they worked very efficiently. They answered my questions and were patient as well as professional. Mike and Matt work well together and are great representatives for the company. They cleaned up after the job and completed the process in about 4 hours from start to finish. They also explained that the initial time that was quoted for the job was when they arrived at the shop and they had to pull the permit from the City. They kept me posted regarding their arrival. The area is much brighter with the natural light and is totally transformed. I would definitely work with them again.

Tony explained the process and indicated they were operating approximately a week out. I acquired three estimates and chose this company because they could complete the job within the time frame that was needed,the positive reviews on Angie's List and their bid was competitive. Matt and Mike were the installers. They were very professional and efficient. They installed 9 windows in my basement. They completed the project in approximately 3.5 hours. Mike was very patient and answered all of my questions regarding the installation process. The glass block transformed the space. I would definitely use the company again and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Tony came out on 12/11/2014 and provided the initial estimate.

Two men were sent to my house to remove eight (8) very old windows and outer windows from my basement and replace them with glass block windows. The majority of the windows were close to my neighbors house (I had cleared with her for the men to park in her driveway), so they parked the truck there. One started in the basement and one worked on the outside. They took the old windows out and installed the new windows. The men were very professional and very polite. The clean up was awesome and the old windows were hauled away. They also cleaned up my neighbors driveway. The windows look very good, a very good investment. My neighbors have remarked how wonderful the windows look. My mother is looking to replace her old windows and we are going to use Global Glass Block in the future.

Overall everything went well
Description of Work: I read the reviews for Global Glass Block. Tony the owner came out to give us an estimate. The price seemed very reasonable for 7 glass block windows with 3 of them vented. More importantly it was a pleasure meeting Tony. He took the time to thoroughly explain his service and product. He aslo does masonry work and gave us free advice on our basement walls and brick stairs. When the installation crew came out unfortunately the service was not all that I had expected. Upon bringing items up of concern I felt as though they were dismissive. A couple of times I had to get on the phone with Global's office, the woman in the office spoke with the crew a coouple times and they did address a couple of my concerns. When the installation crew said that they were done I still had a couple of concerns that they were not willing to accommodate. I advised them that they would not receive a check until I spoke with Tony. I called the office and told the woman on the phone the same thing. Tony called me the next morning and was very reassuring that he would fix my issues. He came the following day and personally took care of my concerns. Everything came out great. Tony's response took what could have been D's in some areas and brought them back to A's.

I was trying to decide on which company to hire for glass block windows. I called Global Glass and the gentleman was very short on the phone. I asked him for an estimate and he took my address and said he would try to stop by (didn't give me a time frame) and leave the quote at the house. We never received a quote so I went w/ the other company.

I didn?t go with them, but they were great. The person who came out gave me all the information but did not explain things in detail. They were not on time, but they did call, which I really appreciated. Their estimated price was $350. I went with another company because the guy took much more time with me and explained everything in detail. Moreover, they were a little lower in their estimate. I would consider using Global Glass Block again in the future.

The experience was excellent from start to finish. My husband and I spoke with a representative at the home show and explained that we only had one basement window to replace. At a previous year's home show another company had promised us a quote then sent us a letter saying they were too busy to come out. They never contacted us again. Our guess was that they weren't interested in doing only one window. In contrast, Global Glass Block called us only days later to set up a free estimate, arrived on time and the following week replaced our window. They were friendly, honored their estimate, and cleaned up the work area before leaving. The new block window looks great! I've already highly recommended them to friends.

I called Global to replace 1 glass block in a glass block window. A day or two before the schedule installation date, Global called to reschedule the appointment, due to cold temperatures. I had specifically scheduled the installation on a date when I would be home from work, but I obliged and reschedule to have them come out the following Saturday morning. On Friday afternoon, Global called again to reschedule due to the cold weather. Because it was winter time and business was slow, Global was not willing to reschedule for another Saturday appointment (not sure why, since they had previously agreed to come out on a Saturday). They also were not willing to schedule evening appointments. I was told that either we could schedule something between 930 am and 330 pm on a weekday, or wait until the spring (for a Saturday appt) to have the block installed. While I wouldnt typically have a problem with waiting to reschedule (though I think offering installations only 930am-330pm on weekdays is absurdly inconvenient), I think that after cancelling twice, it would have been good business practice to make an exception and come do the installation on an evening, early morning, or weekend.
Description of Work: I had scheduled an appointment to replace a single small glass block. While no work was performed, the estimate I received was approx. $80-100.

Everything went very well. Someone came out for the quote and didn't bother anyone at home and left the quote in the mailbox. Once we ordered the work to be done, the guy came and was gone in less than 4 hours...very quick service with great quality. The storm windows came a few weeks later with the same results. I would definitely hire this contractor again.
Description of Work: Had 6 basement windows replaced with glass block windows, and 2 first floor storm windows replaced. The glass block windows were around $800 total with the storm windows being more expensive that expected at around $400.

Owner,is rude and basically called me a idiot for not seeing pencil marks he claimed to have placed on floor and not understanding the cicular pice he used to make a complete 90 degree bar was just for the turn and not to make it rounded as I had specified. Said he would remove bar on Friday, June 24, 2011 and on Monday, June 27, 2011 stated that he absolutely would not remove. He DID NOT CARE IF ITS WHAT I REQUESTED TO BE BUILT, he stated that "I needed to pay him or he would PLACE A LIEN ON MY HOME". I wanted a round bar he built a square bar.
Description of Work: Asked, showed picture of ROUND Glass Block Bar, was given a SQUARE. Tony (Owner) said on 06-24-2011 that he would remove it giving me a take it or leave it option. On Monday when we talked so that I could schedule the REMOVAL, Tony stated that he would absolutely NOT remove it he did his part and build a bar. I said I am not paying for something I did not ask for so Tony said HE WAS PLACING A LIEN ON MY HOUSE IF I DID NOT PAY. HE built a bar with bigger blocks, which should have been less expensive then the original small blocks. Completed IGNORED MY WISHES OF A CICULAR BAR. If he did not have the expertise to build a round bar he should not have taken on the project. Installed glass block window shower area in 2010 originally graded as an "A" Love this window :) $400 for window. Dissapointed that Owner of this complany was so unreasonable.

Global Glass Block did the job well with exception of two issues, one major and one minor. The quote and scheduling of the installation were performed in a timely manner. The actual installation was done well and the employees were always courteous. Major Issue: We were not informed that a window was broken in a carpeted section of our basement and the clean-up of the glass was poorly done. Had we been made aware or had the installers thoroughly swept the carpet, there would have been no problems. To the contrary, we were completely unaware and I discovered the first of many small pieces of glass while, in fact, walking barefoot in the area! Fortunately, no one in my family (including my two young children who routinely play barefooted in this area) actually stepped on any of the glass. After finding my sixth piece of glass, I quit picking it up by hand an used the vacuum, which very audibly found many more pieces. I spoke with the owner, Tony. He provided a concerned apology and offered to send staff back to my home to more thoroughly clean up. He promised that he would talk with his entire team to prevent this problem in the future. Although it is difficult for me to get past the mistake due to thoughts about "what if one of my children had stepped on the glass," I am pleased with the product otherwise, and I feel certain that Tony will address the problem with his staff to assure that it will not happen again. Minor Issue: I recommend that consumers move ALL furniture from under the windows. The installers felt that they could work around a heavy L-shaped office desk that was partially located under one window (ironically the window that was broken as discussed above). Although they did cover the desk with a tarp, they somehow managed to etch a number of small scratches into the desktop where they were working.
