"Very professional from quote to installation. Did a great job replacing 14 windows (double pane glass packs) of various sizes as well as replace some of the wooden frames that were beginning to rot. It took 2 days for a 2-person crew. Final cost was about $700 more than original quote because there were more windows with rotted wood than originally anticipated but the installation team told us when they discovered the issues and gave us the option to proceed or not before incurring the extra cost which was appreciated. Very pleased with the workmanship. Cost effective given they replaced the glass packs instead of tearing out all of the window frames which were either in good shape or restorable by the crew. We will use Apex again in the future and will recommend to friends."

"Ronnie and his crew were fantastic. They were at my house within hours after I called. Ronnie explained exactly what needed to be done. The shattered glass was cleaned up and the replacement glass was ordered. When the new glass came in an appointment was scheduled and he came out to put it in the door and correct the four casement windows as I had requested. All work was spot on. I highly recommend LDS."

"From the first entry of Steve into our house on the initial sales call, we had nothing but a positive experience with this company.  For years we had been dealing with water seeping into our basement which was both coming through cracks in the foundation and up through the floor hydrostatically.  Steve provided an assessment of our problem and recommended the solution.  About the only problem was (and extremely minor) was it was supposed to be a two day job and it took three and half days.  However, they company more than made up for itself with post work response.  Right after the crew was done and had left, it appeared water was pooling near where they dug the soil.  We called and the crew returned within an hour.  What happened was, the crew washed their equipment there leaving the pool of water and forgot to tell us.  This was easily explained by the crew chief.  Then also post work, we experienced a torrential downpour and still had a little bit of seepage through the basement floor.  After hearing our complaint, Steve sent a crew back again after we had already paid.  The crew jackhammered open the floor, addressed the problem, repacked the hole with gravel, and cemented it over.  Since that time, we have not had one drop of water in the basement.  It feels so good after all these years.  Many companies would probably not come back again after payment but this company came out twice.  I can't imagine how the service could be any better and I would highly recommend them for any basement water problems.

Glass Block FAQs, answered by experts

New glass costs anywhere from $3 to $100 per square foot. More specifically, tempered and insulated glass—a common option for sliding glass doors—costs between $10 and $14 per square foot.

Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps prevent buildup and maintains clarity.

Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.

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

Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.
