B & D Glass Block

I called for an estimate with a couple rough measurements. They gave me an exact price which sounded very reasonable. He offered to put them in the next day. Two guys came out and had both windows in in less than 2 hours. Very good crew. I plan on calling them again for the rest of our windows. They look great and really brightened up our basement.

We needed 4 glass block windows installed in our basement so we called Dave based on Unilocal reviews. It took a few days for him to return the call but he was able to give me a quote over the phone and set up the work on the spot. Price was reasonable at $ 400, guys were timely, professional and did a great job. Would definitely recommend B & D.

Dave responded to initial call within 30 minutes. We agreed on a time to replace 2 single pane basement windows the builder had installed in foundation 20+ years ago. Windows were replaced with great product within 45 minutes and work area cleaned inside and out before he left. Highly recommend and would hire again. Accepts cash and check (slight up-​charge for checks)

Dave was professional and courtesy. He did a good job replacing a broken glass block. He also offered other services he would provide and I would use him in the future and recommend to a friend. Thanks!

I hate to drag down his ratings, but I have to.
We hired B&D to do our basement glass block windows and almost everything was seriously amazing. He was prompt to estimate, friendly, didn’t want a dime until he was done installing and was quick with his install. The windows look great and are very well-​done. We were nothing less than completely impressed until after we realized what he left in his wake…
The problem was the horrible mess he left us to clean up. He had to dismantle some small framing around the windows and made sure to move the big scraps (into OUR garbage so we can haul it outside ourselves), but left an unbelievable amount of plastic shards, wood shards and concrete globs & dust EVERYWHERE. He didn’t use any tarps anywhere, so there’s globs and chunks of cement smeared on the walls, ground into the carpet of my partially finished basement and on shelves under the windows. It took a solid hour of me vacuuming, scraping and dusting to make it presentable and there’s STILL grey spots on the carpet where the cement is ground-​in. The worst part is that he managed to get shrapnel behind one of the panels on my basement wall that was loose, so it’s pushed out and uneven a few inches away from the wall. I will literally have to remove that panel, scrape out & remove whatever crap is stuck back there and re-​nail the panel onto the wall. Ridiculous. If he had used tarps, none of this would be an issue.
I seriously can’t say enough about his niceness, prompt communication, punctuality and the quality of the windows — but make sure he cleans up or uses tarps if you hire him.

GREAT! Dave is very friendly. This is the only company who returned my phone call. Dave came out the same day I called and gave me a very fair estimate. He installed the windows 3 days later in a clean and punctual manor. Can not express enough how happy I am. Thank you!

Dave came out quickly to give an estimate. I called back the next day and scheduled for later that week. He was out on the day scheduled (called me to alert me he was on his way) walked through to verify, removed my 50 year old windows, put in the windows (in a cold drizzle) and was finished in about 2 hours for 7 windows. Cleaned up. Glad I saw the reviews on Unilocal — I’m completely satisfied with his work and I love the windows.

I’m very happy with my new glass block windows from B&D. Dave installed the windows quickly and they look great. He was very professional and put me at ease immediately, instiled confidence that the job will get done right, and the price was great too. Thanks Dave!

I was looking to have a window replaced with glass blocks and repair about two dozen bricks. When I moved in I called three or four places for the brick work and no one called back or did two weeks later. It didn’t give me much confidence in the masonry business.
B&D changed that perception. I left a message and in the voicemail, he said they would return my call within 30 minutes. He ended up calling with 10. He also followed up with a quote within two days as promised and the cost was reasonable.
The work was excellent to where I couldn’t tell what was original and what was brand new. He blend the two together extremely well. He also gave me tips on improvements that I could do myself if I wished. However I want it done correctly, so I’ll just have him do it, but I appreciate the advice.
Another advantage was I didn’t need to be home for the job. I didn’t need to take off of work.
He was an excellent contractor and will definitely have him do more of our work.

We just got 7 glass block windows installed in our basement by these guys last week. It all went great, only took around 3 hours, and the price matched the estimate exactly.
Before the job, getting an estimate was quick & easy: One of the guys came over, checked out the current windows, and met with us. All our questions were answered, and there were no surprises. He even discussed some competitors with us and admitted some pros & cons between them.
On the day of installation, I met one of the guys & quickly went over the job again. I work from home, but I barely knew the crew was here. I peeked in from time to time, and was a little worried to see a mess of glass and wood from my old windows out in the yard while they were working.
But, when they let me know the job was done, I handed over a check (which matched the estimate) and then I walked around the house. I saw that they’d cleaned everything up better than they’d found it — no mess, no glass in the yard.
So, overall: The estimate was reasonable, they did the job as promised, and we’re really happy with the result. If only everything involving the house went this well!
