Patrick’s Glass originated in the backroom of our hardware store, Patrick’s Hardware & Paint, as part of a side project to offer additional glass services to our customers. In 1995 and on the 100-year anniversary of Patrick’s Hardware, our glass services had outgrown the backroom and we decided it was time for a separate location, “Patrick’s Glass”. The expansion allowed our glass shop to officially define its niche and the hardware store to focus on selling hardware and paint. Patrick’s Glass has grown immensely from the days we shared a building with our hardware store and today has separate project teams dedicated to both residential glass and commercial glass. Patrick’s Glass is currently owned and operated by Cary Patrick Jr. and his sons Cary Patrick III and Ryan Patrick. We are fully supported by our extended family of loyal employees. While Patrick’s Glass may be separately located from our founding hardware store, the core values that our family passed from generation to generation remain. Have complete dedication to our customers and their satisfaction, work with integrity, and have some fun in the process! Our great grandfather’s mission that “our customers are our family!” reigns as true today as it did in 1895. We are thankful to our loyal customers, dedicated employees and the family that paved our way in celebrating 120 years of business. Our fourth-generation Patrick family is now in our third century (1895-present) of serving residents, businesses, and local governments from Richmond, VA to North Carolina.
"I called and they came out the next day to look at the windows. Very professional and punctual. By the following day I had an estimate and hired them to place the order and do the installation. As soon as the windows came in they came back out and installed them. Again very punctual and professional. I will definitely use them again!"

Glass block services FAQs
Typically, glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, slightly less than regular windows, which last 20 to 50 years. Resealing glass blocks can help extend the lifespan of this bathroom feature. The key to ensuring that glass block windows last as long as possible is to have a professional glass block installer place them. Glass block pros will have the skills, tools, and knowledge required to install these special features into any space, noting obstacles like damaged windows or too-cramped areas during the consultation.
Installing glass block windows has benefits and disadvantages, as with most materials. The pros and cons can vary depending on the type of glass block and the window location.
Pros
Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom
Energy efficient
Sealed to prevent drafts
Aesthetically pleasing
Strong and secure
Cons
Costly to install
Challenging installation
Challenging repair
Glass block installation can be relatively expensive due to the range of material costs and the labor time to assemble this type of specialty window. The process proceeds slowly as the glass does not absorb moisture from mortar and silicone caulk takes longer to harden, leaving spacers to hold up the structure until the caulk or mortar begins to cure. Plus, if your current windows have structural issues or damage, you’ll need to repair them before beginning the project, increasing your bottom line.
The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:
Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block
Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block
Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block
Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block
Luckily, glass block windows need minimal maintenance. Other than regular cleaning, the only maintenance involved in having a glass block window is inspecting for cracks every year and applying sealer to the mortar joints if the blocks are set in masonry mortar. Glass block windows hold up well against wind and moisture better than traditional windows and are not prone to rot.
