"We have a 90 year old house with limited storage and small closets. Crystal came to our house and did a great job listening to our needs and designed a system to maximize our space. She was very helpful and understanding of our end goal. Crystal ensured that the install date was scheduled at a convenient time for me and my young family. Trent, the installer, was very professional, kind and courteous. Prompt and efficient, too. Left the closet space cleaner than when he began! I am thrilled with my layout and the flexibility to change rods/shelves/drawers. Could not be an easier or more pleasant process start to finish. We will definitely have them return to work on our remaining closets. Rated Good for price as we had received a slightly cheaper quote from a former California Closets franchise. Decided it was worth the extra money to go with the Authorized Californial Closet retailer and know that I would have someone to help me later on with accessories and additional closets. This franchise is based out of Wheeling, IL with a show room in Brookfield, WI."

"Noe showed up immediately, no questions asked and did service at reasonable price, cleaned gutters, and the downspouts completely at a time in which we had overflowing gutters and water in the basement. He was communicative, clean, and I look forward to long relationship with him and his company."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

Glass block windows aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.

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.
