At Window Shopping, We Support A
Full Range Of Customer Scenarios
Here at Window Shopping, we talk with local residents every day about their Tri-State window replacement needs. These needs often fall within a common range. However, every once in a while, we get some fairly unusual requests.
That was the case when homeowner Alan L. contacted us in the summer of 2025.
Alan wanted to replace some existing windows in his front porch. However, these weren’t standard windows. Instead, they were made from individual pieces of glass block.
For several reasons, removing these blocks can increase the difficulty of trouble-free replacement. But fortunately for Alan, we were fully up to the task.
It took us a bit longer than usual, but in the end, he had the new windows he wanted. And we had another opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to accommodating all manner of customer requests.
Alan Makes His Window Replacement Request
Not long ago, Alan contacted us to set up a small Tri-State area window replacement project. That’s a daily scenario here at Window Shopping.
However, Alan’s request stood out in more ways than one.
For starters, glass block is relatively uncommon compared to other types of household window materials. What’s more, it’s typically used in areas where privacy is a top homeowner priority, such as bathrooms, garages, and basements.
Alan’s windows, however, were installed in a much rarer location – his porch.
Our owner, Glenn, decided to handle the request himself. Soon, he arrived at Alan’s home for a firsthand assessment of the situation.
Removing Glass Blocks In Your Tri-State Home
Not just anyone can safely remove glass block windows. That’s true even among window replacement providers. To do the job right, you need both experience and a certain set of professional skills.
Why? Each block in this kind of window is mortared to its neighbors.
This means you can’t simply pop the entire window out of its frame. Instead, every block must be broken out individually.
This isn’t just time-consuming. Done improperly, it can lead to issues such as:
- Damage to your home’s walls and underlying framing
- Rotting issues caused by this kind of damage
- Injury to the person removing the blocks
However, these issues can be avoided. All it takes is a trusted provider who knows what they’re doing.

Alan knew we were the right company for the job.
