"I don't have a ladder to reach my second story gutters, and dirt had built up in them to the point of weeds beginning to grow in them.  I had been delaying this project, but saw Lake View's truck drive by yesterday (with "GUTTER CLEANING") written on the side and decided to give them a call.  
I spoke to someone in their office at about 8:00 a.m. and was told that for a two story house, gutter cleaning would cost $120, not including a $15 discount for first time customers.  So I provided my address and was told they'd finish the job "today or tomorrow."  
Sure enough, by the time I was home from work that day, the job was completed and an invoice was in my door.

"Our first phone call to the company was very encouraging.  They explained that replacing glass was their specialty and that we would be working with the owner of the firm.  They came to our house to make some preliminary measurements and to explain the replacement process.  During that first visit they recommended using a particular glass and left us with a website reference on the glass.  After reviewing information on the web, we emailed the company with some concerns.  They immediately emailed back an alternative glass for us to consider. They  scheduled a second visit bringing with them a sample of the alternative.  Having a sample was very helpful.  They also provided a website reference for the alternative.  We selected the alternative.  
Installation of the glass took one day and went smoothly.  The installers were professional, hard working, and considerate of our house and of our particular needs.

"The estimator examined the basement walls and identified four cracks through which water might be coming in and gave a quote.  We agreed to have the work done.  One service man came and filled the cracks in less than the estimated time.  The work involved surface patching the cracks on the inside of the wall, drilling approximately six holes through each crack and injecting a sealant into each crack.  Since we haven't had a hard rain since then, we haven't had a real test of whether it holds water out.

Estimator came right away and I didn't need to be home - everything was laid out in estimate!  Estimator also noticed how a previous small job had been done incorrectly. There is never answering machine and you always talk to a person.  We had a lot of water issues and have none now.  They matched our mortar and did a great job. Looks excellent.

I called this spring about an issue and was immediately called back by the foreman who was on our job.  Issue resolved immediately.

Would recommend Arrow to all.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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 walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.

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.
