"Lakeside  arrived a little late and immediately got to work.  Very professional and respectful of my home and possessions.  They took the time to answer questions and explained everything that they would be doing.  I had several estimates and decided to go with Lakeside because they came to the job before the appointment and gave an estimate instead of nickel and diming me for each thing that would be done.  The windows look and feel beautiful.  My one issue is that on their website today, (I had the windows done yesterday) there is a fifteen dollar off coupon for windows.  I wish that Noah had mentioned it to me.  Just like anyone, I would have liked to take advantage of that opportunity."

"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."

Job went exactly as planned.  On the first day, a five man crew trenched along the two walls where the drain tile was broken, replaced the drain tile, backfilled with stone, and leveled.  Crew installed new sump for sump pump and repaired cracks in walls. Crew then laid down the vapor barrier over the entire floor of the crawl space.

On the second day the concrete floor was poured as planned.  Three man crew worked the crawl space leveling and floating the concrete.  Job went very well. Crew installed temporary cover over the open crawl space wall vent used for the concrete pump hose. 

On the third day, a small crew was back to seal the two vent openings in the crawl space wall with concrete blocks and cement.  The backup battery operated sump pump was also installed and piped up to the main sump pump discharge line using appropriate check valves.

All crews laid down protective cloth to keep family room carpet clean.  Crawl space opening is in family room.  All crews did an excellent job of cleaning up after work was completed.  Crews were very polite and professional and kept me informed of progress.  I was very pleased with the quality of the entire job.

"Like most condo buildings in Chicago, our 6 unit building was poorly built. To make matters worse, the exterior walls were constructed using concrete block that wasn't meant for exterior use. The city of Chicago has recently changed code so condos must be built with water-proof "dry block", but this wasn't used for our building. As a result, we had water issues in most of the units that caused mold problems. Mike from Arrow came out to provide a quote, but ended up not bidding on the work because the building was in such bad shape. He did take the time to show us exactly what issues we were dealing with and recommended steps we should take to make the best out of the situation. He has a lof of experience, is professional, and cares about doing quality work. Of all the masonry people we had come out, he was the only one that took a genuine interest in identifying the root cause of our issues and doing things the right way. He easily could have put together a quick bid and gotten some work, but in the end he recommended we wait to seal the building until the weather was better, and helped us develop a plan to address our issues. Because he guarantees his work and labor, he wasn't comfortable bidding on the job because it was in such bad shape. The fact that he took the time to help us even though he wasn't going to get work was appreciated."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.

Glass block installation can be relatively expensive due to the range of material costs and the labor time to assemble this type of specialty window. The process proceeds slowly as the glass does not absorb moisture from mortar and silicone caulk takes longer to harden, leaving spacers to hold up the structure until the caulk or mortar begins to cure. Plus, if your current windows have structural issues or damage, you’ll need to repair them before beginning the project, increasing your bottom line. 

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.

Glass block mortar is the best choice for glass block window units. It is specifically formulated for glass block window installation. Glass block mortar is usually a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and special chemicals. It is a white mortar that is applicable inside and outside your home. Do not use regular tile mortar because it may not have the binding strength and flexibility required for glass block windows.

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