The 2 men were very efficient, respectful, competent and thorough- the windows look great. I wish they would have done one thing, though. Taking out the old windows created quite a bit of dust- I would have appreciated a heads-up to lay down some plastic. Other than that-great job-would hire again.

This is the third time I have had a glass block window installed by this company, and every time it was handled in the most professional way possible - competitive price, prompt, courteous, careful, respectful of my property, great installation job, etc. I could not be happier with Louie Bruno and his team! The last window was installed in the basement of an 1898 red brick Victorian house, and it looks great! I highly recommend this company.

We had Glass Block Specialties by Bruno replace our huge old wooden basement windows. Our house is 200 + years old in the city. We had received estimates from some other companies that ranged from outrageous to scarry cheap. Bruno was not the cheapest by far but there product which was 100% American made was the best in my opinion. Another reason we chose them was that they used cement to make and install the windows. Some of the other companies used caulking? I have had less than great experiences with caulking and my gut feeling is that it wont last in this climate. Bruno also did a great job explaining reason for cement vs caulking. The windows the put in for me are private and secure. I got vents for them too. The cement work the guys did in my old foundation was in my opinion art. It brightened up the basement and made it more quiet as well. I am so glad we chose these guys and i think they actually raised the value of our house. I am more than pleased. Sincerely Paul D.
Description of Work: Replaced 6 very large basement windows in an old city home with new glass block windows with the vents in them.
