"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.

"I worked initially with Mike B at the Naperville showroom and looked at several models of windows.
A few days later, Mike G came to the house to take measurements and provided an initial estimate.
I went back to the showroom to take a closer look at the models and asked a few more questions.
I scheduled an meeting with Mike G to change a few items on the estimate and provided the downpayment.
I was contacted about a month later to bring in (to the Burr Ridge main office) the paint our townhome association requires on exterior trim.
A little over a week later I was contacted to schedule the installation date.
The installation was subcontracted to MVR Construction Group Inc (possibly because of the glass block windows not being one of Next's normally installed items). 
The installation took 3 days and involved removal of the 40+ year old windows/doors, full frame replacement, updated insulation, and replacement wood trim to meet association specifications. (No metal trim allowed)
Neighbors who observed the installation process commented about the thoroughness of the installation process and the cleanup that was done every day.

"Based on Angie's List recommendations and reviews, we contacted LDS to evaluate our windows and repair a failed gas-filled window pane in our master bedroom.  After an initial visit to evaluate the condition of our windows, inspect the gash in our stucco, and take measurements.  They arrived on-time and immediately went to work.  Ronnie and his crew kept us informed at every step.  The bedroom window is is a large round porthole shape with eight "pie slice" pieces of glass.  One had failed and turned colors.  Ronnie came out earlier, took a pattern of the window and when he returned to do all the work, release it seamlessly.  In addition, and at no additional charge, they also repaired the rot on another of our bathroom window. There were in and out in less than 90 minutes.  They cleaned up after their work and there was no indication that had ever been there.  The staff was courteous and polite and took off their shoes without having to be asked to do so.  This was an excellent experience.

"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.

"Cinder blocks have to be waterproofed. Otherwise, cinder blocks absorb rain like a sponge and water starts coming into the building. You've got to waterproof these bricks. You have to do it every 10 years. It's a special paint for the bricks. The stuff can get really expensive, that's why we did it in two stages. Everybody in the building had to pitch in with a special assessment because we didn't have the money in our condo account to do it. They did like the west side of the building and then the back side of the building the first time and then they did the east side of the building and the front side the second time. I didn't do the original hiring of these people. The daughter of the lady that owned the unit on the third floor was living up there. She didn't work and she had the time. They were Angie's List members. They did all the interviewing. I did talk to the lady, her name is Kathy Torres. They came out a few times taking pictures and I remember talking to her. She was really professional. They were very knowledgeable. You kind of have to get everyone in the building to agree on the stuff. She had called some places and I think from their homework they thought that Arrow was really good. And then when I met Kathy Torres, she was really knowledgeable and really on top of things. I think their price was good. I remember her looking at other places and they were all about the same. It's not a cheap job. The work was good. There was always good communication."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.

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.

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.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.
