Block Glass Windows Installers and Contractors

Looking for an expert contractor to install block glass windows? The following tips will help you find a professional who does quality work at a reasonable price.

Whether you're installing glass block windows in your home or business, it's important to find an expert who can complete the job in a timely, thorough, and cost-effective manner. Glass block windows are different from sliding or casement windows, and require special expertise and attention to detail.

Finding Block Glass Windows Installers and Contractors

Where can you find qualified contractors who are reliable, trustworthy, and take pride in their work? Begin by asking friends, neighbors, relatives, and anyone else you know who has glass block windows that you've admired. Unless the windows were installed before they moved into their home or office space, they can refer you to the company they used.

Background and Credentials of Glass Block Contractors

If a contractor is referred by someone you trust, you may not feel the need to look into their background. But if you're considering using a service or individual you're not familiar with, it's worth taking a few minutes to look into the installer's qualifications before you hire them to work on your home.

Below are some reputable organizations and references to consult:

• Better Business Bureau. The BBB and local business groups and boards can tell you all about an installer's professional history.
• Client References. If a contractor offers references, take them - and if they don't, consider asking for past clients you can contact.

Make sure to ask about pricing, payment conditions, guarantees, and any specific terms in their contract. Pricing for glass block windows is roughly on par with vinyl windows, and most come with a 20- or 25-year guarantee after installation. By taking the time to research and compare, you'll succeed in choosing the best glass block installer for you.
