I’m sure plenty of you guys have had glass blocks put in. Who did you guys use? Were you satisfied with the job and cost? What roughly did it cost you?

I have 3 windows measuring about 31" x 26" that I need done.

My brother-in-law has a buddy that was supposed to come do them for me but he’s been a flake so I need to find someone else to do it.

TIA for input.

hey, i seen these easy diy kit at lowe’s all you got to do is bust out the old windows, measure the block as they come in preassembled with vent  
was decently cheap too

I heard it was around $100 a window from the previous owner who did his if i remember correctly.

We have some large glass block windows, they are about 16 blocks each, with a vent inside.

I paid 130 each. American Glass Block, if you offer to pay cash they cut you a deal.

Those aren’t they typical basement window size, so they won’t be $100ea, but they will be only slightly more.
